Drop by and let us know what you think and any idea's you may have etc. Much love to y'all..-Randall Peenk

Looks ok... A lot of red X's where the pics should be (at least, on my PC) ... And, some stuff seems a little dated now. Will you be updating the info?

hello Randall, just being realistic the site looks like it's from the 90's. zero design, confusing, basic header, links and pics that don't work etc... maybe with some advertising revenue you could get someone to design it. and to be honest I kind of tuned out when I read he died oct 11, 1995 in his biography.

Hi Randall, its been a real long time. Thanks for stopping by and letting us know the site is up. It looks like there is a lot of content and the site is very promising but has a little ways to go....maybe some talented MelonHeads on the forum can help you out a bit.
Thanks so much for linking us! If you forward me a mini banner you would like us to use I can put you in our scroller.

I didnt have anything to do with design of the site. I'll get the info to Neil. Thanks for the idea's and stuff, I'm not looking for revenue from it. If any of you designers wish to help or whatever, let me or Neil Schultz know.

Are you freakin kidding me? Honestly, when the page came up I thought I had been redirected to another link. I am not trying to be mean but I have to be honest. It seems to me that your ego likes the fact that you have held the domain name for so long and with that being said it has clouded your vision of what could and should be a great site. I know you said that you did not design the site but I assume you had to sign off on the final product. My opinion...scrap it and start over.

I think with a little time and work, they could do something with it. I think we need to give them time.

I think we need to give them time. His first post about shannonhoon.com was back in 2007. Since then, Blind Melon re-formed and re-unformed. I do not think time is really needed. Just sincere effort. If your going to hold in high regard, the domain shannonhoon.com as he appears too, then do it right. I mean no disrespect to anybodies design skills. Some are beginners and that is fine. But to wait until 2010 and then that is what you present to us here, Nel, Nico and everyone else in Melon land, I just don't get it. Ask yourself if Shannon would be happy with that. It's his name.com It looks like a cheap business site. The only person who should own the domain is Nel Hoon. Give it to her as a gift and pat yourself on the back. Then someone can work with her to design a proper Shannon Hoon site. I agree with natedog that cybersquatting is weak. Now saying all this, if Nel gave you her blessing Mr. Peenk, then I apologize. Please hire a better designer.

I hear ya... I didnt know it was 3 years in the making. As for Nel, I can't really see her doing anything with the domain name. She's never shown any interest in the past. Who knows.. I think now that it is launched, and the domain owner viewing all of the negative posts (and taking some of the positive posts as something he may implement) maybe he'll get someone to design it right. I mean, this was JUST launched. It's kinda like a rough (super rough) draft. Now, we can offer our opinions to him, and his designers, as to how to make it better. I think that's a much better way to help him, rather than telling him to give up, and give the domain name to someone else.

I agree with Matt.
I think we have a lot of talent on the forum who might be able to help artistically and with content. Help make Shannon Proud.
Randall is a good guy. I don't think he would Cybersquat, if anything he was protecting the domain from just that all this time.

I don't think he would Cybersquat, if anything he was protecting the domain from just that all this time. If i were cyber squatting I would have it for sale for one. It's been re-directing to the forum since the day I discovered the forum like 2 years ago. I have written Nel and asked her what she would like done with the domain years back and not gotten a response. I kept the domain so spammers wouldn't use it for porn, and yes I'm proud that I did that, but ego has nothing to do with it. I did mention to the designer that I wanted a banner link right at the top to Nel's site. Maybe the dude forgot, I don't know? I'm going to write the designer and let him know that some "super elite" melon fans hate his work and ask him to redo it, or I'll just point it back to the forum. Do I personally like the site? Well, It's a start and more than anyone else has done since i brought it up years back. I want the community to work on it that's why I wrote here about it. Personally, I dont think Shannon would like his fans fighting about his site. Also, I know that he knows that my intentions are honorable, So call me names all you want. If someone wants to build a better site then by all means please do it. I cannot afford to spend money on something that I would refuse to profit from anyways, can you at least dig that?.. Hell lets hold a contest I guess, you want to claim you love Shannon so much then prove it, rather than just talk shit.. But anyways, keep me posted. P.S. I do appreciate the constructive criticism, and I'm sorry I let his true fans down..

If i were cybersquatting i would have had it for sale. I wrote Nel about it and she never expressed interest. However it is my intent that any money made off it would be to his family or to help fund vigilstock, not me. I'm sorry you don't like the design.. I'll try to get something done that's nicer or just point it back here again. But we are all fans here and we are select small group of people that should really work together and not bash each other. I'm sorry nothing was done sooner with it, I just been broke as a joke. However, If it wasn't for me shannonhoon.com would probably take you to a sex site. So, make sure to keep that In mind when you write your next unkind thing about me. Also, I've never heard of anyone getting famous off owning a domain name, so if that's your next accusation, hold off on it..-Randall the Ego-Maniac Peenk

Randall,
I'm writing this write now to you BEFORE I have viewed your website. I'm doing this to say don't worry about the criticism you are getting from the people on this board. Just the name Shannon Hoon stirs up emotions amongst people. Everyone seems to want to protect his legacy, his music, and so on. Maybe your website isn't the best. Maybe you tried your best and spent what you could on it. Maybe prople on here are not thinking that way. They could just be upset or annoyed that the site isn't up to "their" standards. Don't worry about it. You tried. I commend you. As time goes by, Blind Melon & Shannon Hoon fans should learn to stick together, not bicker over silly things.
