As part of the site rebuild we will be shutting down the forums effective April 30th 2008.

This may or may not be permanent. Right now they get little to no use (other than the hosts) and maintaining them is somewhat pointless given that it’s just for us and show notes.

Add to this the huge influx of spambots looking to add spam for male “enhancement” pills and herbal supplements and porn sites in general it makes the forum a little less than fun to manage. As an example, yesterday we had 71 new members to the forums – not one of them was human!

If there’s enough demand in the future we will look into adding them back to the site.

You can always reach us at: feedback AT stopandgoradio DOT com.

Don’t forget to join us on Friday nights at 9:00 PM Central and we’re on air 24/7.

Yes, we’ve added the advertising back to the site as SaGR listener Will noted in an email.

Unfortunately it’s going to have to remain as a revenue generator. Heh, if you call that revenue

Check out the advertisers as I’ve been careful to make sure we get “good” ads. Amazon also pays a percentage of purchases made through our links. In most cases though the percentage is so small it’ll take many months to actually see anything out of it.

I will try to keep them all “below the fold” as long as possible (assuming Google and Amazon don’t change their rules).

Will also added:

I love the look of the new site! It’s clean (though a bit cluttered) and I see you’re activiely working on it because the front page changed while I was on.

Keep up the good work with Stop and Go. I’m eager to see all the changes when theyre done.

Join us tonight for our live show from 9:00 PM – 11:00 PM Central.

EDIT: The Featured photo will eventually be submitted photos from listeners and hosts that will also tie into a gallery of the images to be shared by all. I’m not trying to create another myspace or facebook, just looking to showcase our listeners and their photos.

Oh well, back to the grind.
