I just found out that I was cancelled from Dimensional Radio

[jeffrey collins]

I'm pretty fucking pissed off right now. I spent about 6 hours last night putting together all the finishing touches on my program which was supposed to be aired on the 6th of the month. Then I go to www.dimensionalradio.com and look what I see.WE'RE CLOSED BITCHES - THANKS FOR NOTHING!!!

This fucking guy needs to be beat badly for having that kind of business sense and not even telling his dj's that he was about to shut it down again. This is aparently the third or 4th time i have heard about this guy shutting down and then restarting.

I'm totally of the thought that people like this need to be shut down permanently. For they do NO Good for EDM and music in general.

Calm down mate. You make out like it's a piece of cake running an internet radio station for the community. I'm sure this guy put in a lot of hard work too with little reward.

He'd be pissed too that this has gone down the drain, and I think his efforts would be considered a good thing for the scene.

I just found out that the site got hacked into, so it may not be a total lost. Will let you know.

Re: I just found out that I was cancelled from Dimensional Radio

well considering I haven't heard a thing from him concerning this. It just shows bad business practices.

Re: I just found out that I was cancelled from Dimensional Radio

Ok people here is the deal, right from the owner:
I created Dimensional Radio a few years ago mainly to promote myself and other local (Pensacola FL) DJ's and give them all a chance to be heard on a web based radio station around the world. The first few months went by slow with little support but then things began to pick up. I had big name DJ's sending me promo mixes to get aired on the broadcast. People like: The Low End Specialists, Tony Estrada, Simply Jeff, Filo & Peri, Blake Jarrell, Serge Devant, Gabriel & Dresden and many more. Well for those of you who dont know, its hard to get big name DJ's to send you mixes especially when your a really unknow website/station but somehow it all worked out.
Think this sounds good right?
Well it was in a way, but the real reason for creating this site was for Unknown DJ's to get their mixes out not Superstar DJ's to play. Well here is the problem. Pensacola doesnt support shit!! 90% of the so called DJ's in this town dont support anything unless they are the ones playing or its their best friend. No wonder why the scene is dead around here.
I tried and tried for the longest to get something going and it didnt happen so I moved on to helping other DJ's from around the globe get their names out to people. Finally some support!! Now the site/broadcast start to take off. I had an average of 10-15 listeners per day and for those of you who dont know thats pretty damn good for a new online broadcast!
Things were going good until I made the decision to join the Military, so of course I had to shut this project down, hell I was gone for months and couldnt take care of it. This was the 2nd time it had went offline, the first was because my son was born and for the first year I didnt do shit except spend time taking care of him and work. Well now the 3rd and final time has come to end it all for good!
Why?
Lack of support mainly, not to mention I work a fulltime job as a Firefighter, I own my own Lawn Care business plus I am still in the Military so I really have No free time to do anything not to mention this site has cost me $15 per month out of my pocket for hosting and other expenses plus having to try and make time to host shows on the broadcast. Its hard by yourself!!
Now for all of you who say you support, explain to me this:
Why did 99% of you never join the Dimensional Radio forum and be active in it?
Why didnt most of you take a banner or something and stick it in your Sig on forums or put it on your Myspace page?
Why didnt you send in mixes to be aired for people all over the globe to hear?
Why did those of you who did take banners and use them only promote the site if and when your mix would be on?
No answers huh?
I tried people but when you have no support things fall apart, I cant do it all alone!
For those of you who did back me and help me on this (very Few), THANKS!
For those of you who have negative things to say about me or my site I created, get a life!
To all the DJ's who had shows on the site, I am sorry it can no longer go on. I apologize for no earlier warning..

Jeffrey, you are one cranky little baby.

Re: I just found out that I was cancelled from Dimensional Radio

too bad that it didn't work out for him, that's how things are sometimes. I'm sure he put in a lot of hard work into it and it was frustrating to see it not pan out.

But that said, I know that if I was spending my time putting together mixes for that site I would appreciate at least a heads up. "Hey, we're pulling the plug tomorrow. I really appreciate all of your hard work, but I can't keep this running anymore. Thanks for your dedication, best of luck to you." Not hard to do...you'd think those folks who put their time and effort in and did obviously support your site would be worth it.

If he makes the decision to pull the plug on the station, he pulls the plug. It would make no difference if he made the decision, then waited a whole day and then pull the plug.

When you make a decision that's that.

I don't think many people realise the amount of free time these types of people pour in to their community based projects. This site included. I for one know I don't have the strengths in my character to do it successfully. Congrats to all that can handle it.

Jeffrey - stick your mix in the member's promos section instead of shelfing it so your fans can still hear it.

Having said that, I will personally thank TomTom from the bottom of my heart who has put way more heart and soul into MercuryServer than the entire team put together. He single handedly pulled off the launch of Mcast, the MS 5th year B'Day and the MS Contest having put in more than 3 - 4 hours of work each DAY.

Kudos to you Tom.

It's not about when you make the decision. It's about informing your DJs rather than killing the webpage and walking away without a word...while they continue to work for you. That's something called courtesy.

But yeah in the grand scheme of things it's inconsequential, of course. I don't even know the guy so I'll stop here.

word... as a tribute, this summer I'm gonna start going through all those mixes
