And another OTR site bites the dust . . .

I'll miss the site but not the webmaster

Sad. Zoot was the second OTR site I joined.

It was the first one I ever joined. That was such a good site at one time, because of the people who were so excited to be sharing shows. I am glad the people are still around, just on different OTR sites.

Brad,
This is all the message the webmaaster left for us:

http://www.zootradio.com/

For myself it was the very first OTR forum I ever found. I constantly did searches for OTR and was very thrilled when I found Zoot. A lot of us have become very good friends who were a part of Zoot and that is the good news. I think the only problem Zoot had was the webmaster was very silent and just missing in action. He tried to just put the web site up and let it run itself and spam was a huge problem for a long time. I guess he doesn't feel he has time to do a good job with it.

Sorry for the attitude, but it seems a shame to let a good site go downhill and out of site like Zoot did.

I went to the site and this was posted:

-------
12/12/2007 OK, so I've changed my mind. Can't a guy change his mind? Yes I felt really guilty about killing the site. I'll try and keep it going as long as I can. Just when I thought things in my life wouldn't change, they did. Somebody up there likes OTR.
--------

Very Happy

Good for him. He's going to keep the site up.

Brad

Well, fancy that...

Just goes to show you how uncertain the world of websites can be.

ZootRadio.com is up and running again under new format as of June 12/07

And for more OTR sites I check the WEBRING.COM or Web Ring Hub under the OLD TIME RADIO LINK SOCIETY for links to other otr related sites. this allows members to browse through different sites on the net.
