I Get Questioned All The Time On Various Levels.
I Had Been Holding On To Some Seems Like Forever.
So, This Section Was Created To Hopefully Answer You.

Hey... The Studio Is Back? Why?

I saw how on the MB and emails, and only then, it was requested,
demanded. I was and still am receiving corporate contacts surrounding it.
Requests to bring it back came from all over the country and all walks
of life. 14 year olds were writing to me as well as CEO's of companies.
And therefore, it returns with a tad different agenda than before.

What Is The Agenda Of the Studio Now?
What is Different From Before?


The Studio now will be MORE of what the supporters of the Crew add.
It will no longer be gathered information from the net. I have
set up a Mission statement in here to give more idea of what
to expect and look forward to in the future.

I Read On The MB That You Aren't Doing The Bio's. Why?

With the re-design of the site adding more supporter content,
I did not see the need for it. One bio that I created and one
that was donated sat in here for over a year. I am sure you know
there are more people in The Crew than that. My feeling is,
if it isn't contributed, then the support is not there.

Will You Ever Add Them In Again?

My take on it is why do we need bios that tell their name, favorite
this, dislikes that, and all if it is TRULY about the music. Let's enjoy
the music from whomever they are. Now, if someone wants their bio
in The Studio, then by all means it will be added if they donate it.
It would not be fair if I did not put it in here after
they went through the trouble of getting it to me. I read an interview
on SHAGGY recenlty and he didn't particurlarly like the fact of 'us'
knowing him. So it kind of set it more in stone, you could say.

I Know A Member Of The Crew, Can Get I Them To Donate Their Bio?

Again, the one person whose bio was in here was donated
and I was elated. It is for you all not for me. By all means,
if you want that bio in here, do what you must.

Will The External Links Sections Still Be Here? Will You Still Search
The Net For The Lastest Pics, News, Audio/Video Files Like Before?


No, that is one feature of many that will not return.
It takes to much time to search and then attempt to keep
the links fresh being one person. And all that stuff from the net
is in FAN sites, this is not that anymore. Links to everything
else on the net is so passe. We want our site to have as much original
content as we possibly can, right? Besides, it really is extra
weight on site that doesn't maintain everything on it's own server.
Remember how you felt when you clicked a link and it did not work?
You don't want that in the Studio and neither do I. New motto from now
on will be, "If It Isn't In the Studio, It Was Not Contributed!!"

What Do Have Against 'Fans'?

Not one thing. In the spring, summer and fall, they cool the house
like you would not believe. Ceiling fans, floor fans, window fans,
they all do the trick. LOL!! On the real, I am a STRONG creature
of originality. I was a 'DEVOTEE' not long ago, how original
and unique it sounded in my mind and rolling off my tongue.
Then I had verbal battles, became displaced and regrouped
by going back to what the Spirit Above deemed.
Worked so much better cause NO ONE argues with that.

Where Is Your Studio As Far
As Search Engines Is Concerned?


I really don't check search engines ONCE I place my site
there. You could list it in ALL the search engines you like,
if supporters don't visit it doesn't matter. I do know on AltaVista
I am on page 19 because my old URL closed up. I only checked
them to see if they corrected the info. After that, doesn't matter.
The same goes for sites that have me listed as well.
I only check for correct name and URL. So If I don't change
the name and/or URL, I never look. I have too much
updating to my site to do to worry about that. Also promoting
it across the net and in email helps LOADS. At one time
it was no more than #10 (where you want to be)
in ALL major and foreign search services is all I can say to date.

Search engine's spiders are very funny. You could be listed in
them but be at #100 or 500, I am not digging that deep NOR
is the average user of search services. If they get
to page 1 or 2 and don't see you, they more
than likely will not go any further than page 3. Your site has
to advertise/promote itself FIRST based on ORIGINAL content,
length of net time and visitor appreciation. If you don't
have any of those, sorry, you'll never get anywhere on the net no
matter how many search engines you list in. My safe answer
for a newbie starting out, it takes months to years to get placement
(good) in any search engine UNLESS you have some $$$. Don't it
expect it to happen overnight. If you never get in a search engine, go
where no OTHER site like yours is and plug away. That's another no-no,
I was told by professional designers, to list similair sites in the SAME
exact website. The one with time in there or likeliness to the person
who is adding the info will show favoritism over two alike/similar sites.

I Want To See Those Banners You Had Up At One Time.
Any Chance Of Them Being Adeed Back In'?


Well, I am not sure about that question. I will think on it and go
from there. I agree they were pretty nice and because I did not
link them to the original source......????
Sticky thing, but.... we shall see.

Why Are There Copyrights On Each Photo Now?

I was on the net searching one of those photo places
and ALL my photos were there as well as the EXACT link in my
files to get to them. And at the bottom of this same page was
the actual page they were on. It became a PRIORITY to protect
the Studio and all it's contents as much as I could.

If I Submit A Photo (or Photos) To You,
Will You Put That Copyright Graphic On It?


Yes, I will. You dontate it to the Studio not to me. I will ONLY use
those photos in here and NOT for personal gain. The copyright
is to protect the photo from anyone else using it for personal
gain as well. I will also put it on items in my personal
possession too.

You Are So Pompus And Arrogant About Your Website. Why?

Why shouldn't I be?! When your're good, heeey FLAUNT IT!!
Now, let me rub it in. My Studio is THE BEST DAMN SITE on
the WHOLE internet for SHAGGY & Crew info!!!! I feel better even
if you don't, LMBAO! And I can say this with SUCH assuredness because
I was FIRST in bringing THE WHOLE CREW in one site. Not a site here
and a site there; nor a page here and a page there, nooooooo.
I placed EVERYONE here BEFORE ANYONE ELSE DID IT!
And still I am the only site today that does it. My goal was ALWAYS
for supporters to contribute no matter how it started in it's humble
beginnings roughly a little over a year ago. Today, NOTHING has
anyone else's logo on it photos wise unless authorized
first. Nothing borrowed without consent NOR stolen from anyone's
site. It is ALL donated in some way, by supporters for the supporters.

Now, banners will appear here and they ALSO will
be donated as that site owner felt the Studio was exceptional
in content and design enough to swap links. That's all there will be,
EVER! All graphics, images, executible files, and more will be on this
server ONLY. No links outside unless it is to a supporter site
with direct link back here. Pissed ya off more didn't I? Good,
it makes me work that much harder to be that much better!
