-=MISPRINT UPDATE=-
Mood:
 on fire
Now Playing: RATM - KNOW YOUR ENEMY
Topic: News for this week...
I know that if you're reading this, you're probably thinking to yourself, "what the hell happened to those guys?!"
Never fear, we're still around. We started to work on a redesign of the site, after nearly 6months without a change and constant problems with updates, we wanted to do something truly great with an eye toward design and usability. When the redesign was finished, we realized that the banner ads and other such advertising was ruining the design. Not only did it chafe to have a bunch of corporate crap on our site, it really sucks when you have a really great design marred by a whole bunch of "punch the monkey and win an ipod" banners. So, after pricing some of the larger hosting services, we came to the conclusion that we'd be better off with our own server.
Our new server, formally a design and maintanance system, is now undergoing testing and we are shopping for an ISP that will allow us to host our own damn site.
When it's all said and done, we will only be limited by the size of our hard drives...heh.
Just so you know the specs on the server...
It's an old AMD K6 tower w over 300 megs of RAM, several hard drives, and running all Open Source Software.
Changes in the site:
--------------------
1) From this point, all news updates will be posted on this blog weekly.
2) As you can tell from the front page the site is definately going to look quite different.
3) As soon as our server is online, we will have some
video and audio to download highlighting independant artists and musicians.
In the future:
--------------
With the webserver finished and currently undergoing testing, we will soon be building a Shoutcast Server with the intent of providing streaming audio to our listeners. If you know anyone willing to donate bandwidth to our cause, please let us know.
Thanx:
------
First and foremost, I'd like to thank our readers for bearing with us.
crypto for putting up with me

And of course special thanx to:

I guess that's it for this update...peace.
