Supporting bands

Hello there, I hope this is the right section for my question.

There is a section called supported bands, but what exactly does supported mean?
Printing their CD's?
Location spotting for the next gig?
Camera equipment for the next video?
Providing the needed toilet paper on tour?

Also, is there a tell-tale sign how one can see if a band is signed/unsigned etc?

I'd love to help search/find/trap/drag starting bands here but what exactly is it thats happening?

*headbang out*

Hey

Well the word 'supporting' can be translated with 'spreading the word'.
It's not that we will spend money for the bands or produce their next music video :-)
It's just to offer a platform to spread the word and keep the fans in touch, you know.
Of course at the moment we are still pretty small 'cause we are still establishing. But It's goin' on. Once we got this thing going there will be some votings with newcomerbands and the users will vote which band will be the next supported band. This means that this band gets it's one section in the Forum in the category 'supported bands'. And there the Bands will be introduced and their stuff will be presented!
