I saw the site earlier briefly and I liked the new look but I couldn't post because of an error message. Testing phase.

Keep us posted, Slinky... that's one of my favorite boards (besides this one, of course).

Rather than changing my password and keeping the same username, today I decided to register again from scratch on radio-info (I'm now EvanJ2). I considered starting a topic about the changes before Slinky did, but I had no idea there was a dispute until this topic (it isn't the first time radio-info has relaunched).

A NEW site to carry on the spirit of Radio-Info has been started by Radio-Info co-founder Lance Venta: www.radioinsight.com/Anyone who was a fan of the OLD Radio-Info should check it out. Also, the layout is different (improved in my opinion) from the old site. The new Radio Insight layout is more like Pulse's, with all posts on a single page in a topic.Scratch that. The user interface is actually completely customizable, so those that prefer the old RI way can pick that, and those that prefer the more Pulse-like way can have it their way too. |

Thank you Slinky for the information. I was very disappointed with the "new" radio-info when I logged on this morning. Radio Insight looks AWESOME and I plan on joining and asking others to join as well! :)

Here's what All Access Net News has to say:
"Radio-Info.Com Purges Mgmt., Lance Venta Debuts Radioinsight.com
And you thought radio was turbulent! The family of former Radio-Info.com owner DOUG FLEMING, who passed away recently while long-distance cycling near his home in Reno, NV, has taken over the management of the site, and has purged longtime Radio-Info.com veteran LANCE VENTA.
VENTA, acting quickly, has debuted a competing site, RadioInsight.com. It debuted yesterday (4/23)."

I'm sorry to hear about Doug's untimely death. :( Former administrator Lance Venta is heading up the effort to establish a new site for the Radio-Info community.. At the all-new(?) Radio-Info, I'm Jeff Steele. At Radio Insight, I'm Jeff. |
