Title: bestshow Web site improvement idea

right now there is Friendsoftom.com and scharplingandwurster.com and stereoLaffs.com.  Its very confusing!  And frrendsoftom.com is old-looking.

those first two should probably be just one site even though maybe and redirect the domain.  And the old blogs can be merged and backdated.  And this way new fans aren't so confused, and Roger can more easily keep things updated.

I am sorry to post through proxy by my work.

New fan!

Love, from the east.

We're going to update the FOT main site soon. There are certain specific reasons why certain boards need to be separated from each other.

And the triumvirate will make perfect sense then.

S&W.com is the parent site with the blogs.
FOT.com is the board.
Stereolaffs.com is where you can buy stuff.

It will all make sense!

TRUST ME.

Tom.

Why would they merge friendsoftom.com with scharplingandwurster.com? FOT.com is for people who like the radio show... I don't know what the other one is... it looks like a site that Tom runs with the drummer of Superchunk or someone?? Not exactly sure what the idea behind that is..

I've always liked Tom's eloquence.  I didn't know what triumvirate meant before looking it up, but I think "a group of three powerful or notable people or things existing in relation to each other," is a perfect description of the three websites.

We had discussed a Wiki improvement/new wiki project a while ago.

Some of these posts like Buffcoats--

http://www.friendsoftom.com/forum/index.php/topic,2030.0.html

Need to be in a more findable place.  If the wiki were fixed somehow, it might be cool to be able to repurpose the wiki and start adding pages like that.

I miss Hot Rockin' Ronnie every Tuesday night.

That is, in fact, how I got into the Best Show.  I was a big fan of the New Classic Power Rock and I just sort of stayed in the Tuesday night listening pattern.

I tried to get RM but it was always on some cooking show.  I could occasionally get Boise on the skip-bands, which was great.
