An open letter to Eric Rhoads owner Streamline Publishing Inc. & Radio Ink
Dear Mr. Rhoads,
It’s been a week since you pulled the plug on the RadioDiscussions.COM based on what was called an “economic decision.”
Since then the radio world has been in an uproar as they don’t know where to go and even worse still is many are upset that years of historical radio industry posts are now gone, erased from the internet. I am sure that the Fleming family was upset to see that all the hard work their late son Doug worked for was gone.
I have contacted you seeking to purchase the assets of RadioDiscussions.COM and have not even received a reply.
I am writing you this letter with a few ideas of how we can bring the history of RadioDiscussions.COM back that will not cost Radio Ink a cent, and in fact could earn Streamline Publishing / Radio Ink additional revenues.
First off I am offering to host RadioDiscussions.COM on our servers here at SatelliteGuys.US for no charge and for the first year of hosting 100% of any profits earned would go to Radio Ink. We have over 10 years’ experience running online communities and have built SatelliteGuys into America’s Largest Satellite / Home Theater Technology site. We are also one of the largest vBulletin sites in the USA as well. We can work to fix the issues that were created when you switched your software to vBulletin, we have the experience to make it better and bring people back!
You already own the software and you have the database, your cost to do this would be nothing. And again you could be making a profit off of something that is now making you nothing. You have nothing to lose. We are also great at monetizing vBulletin sites and with some reworking of your layout besides making it easier for your users to use you can also make more money.
In this proposal the website would be open for users to post new threads to the site, and would allow RadioDiscussions.COM to fully operate again.
However if this is not acceptable to you, then my second proposal would be to allow us to run RadioDiscussions.COM on our servers in an archived state. This means all the history of RadioDiscussions.COM would be there for anyone to research, however no new posts would be permitted. Again we would host this for you on our servers a no cost. We would make this site available ad free to viewers.
I ask that you please consider one of our proposals and do so out of respect to those who have invested so much time and effort into building RadioDiscussions.COM what it was. Out of respect to the radio industry who depended on RadioDiscussions.COM for the unbiased feedback and out of respect for the Fleming Family and the memory of Doug Fleming. You honestly have nothing to lose.
Please allow us to keep the spirit and memory alive!
I may be contacted at sg@satelliteguys.us, I look forward to hearing from you,
Best Regards,
