Is Redman still running the official site ???

#1 Post by davenjulieuk »

Just noticed that i have been unable to connect to the official site for the last hour or so and was wondering if Redman is still updating the site...

I know that there was supposed to be a new design along with the new album but almost two singles in and a few weeks after the album was released nothing has changed yet... :(

Was it confirmed that Redman had lost the "contract" to design and update the new site ??

I guess its Neil who is updating the site at the moment !!!

Yes. The new design company is mentioned somewhere on here, but I can't find where now. No word on when it's going to happen.

New company is called "airside" (www.airside.co.uk)

From what I heard - the launch of the new page is postphoned to "around July 1st" but it's currently not clear if they can hold this date!

Redman is involved in the old page - as long as it will stay online! He's out, when the new company switch the domain to the new webspace from airside!

I wouldn't have though that would happen as the domain is not owned by airside or redman but by PSB Partnership Ltd. They will keep the URL they currentky have and will just switch the actual design and programming of the site
It's gonna be alright.

Thank You, Goodnight

thats correct. The domain will remain where it is now unless PSB decide to move it off EMI's server. But since they don't have to pay for hosting, I doubt that will happen.

As to the status of the new site, it was to have launched on the 22nd but there was not enough done so they delayed it another 4 weeks. I don't know if they are still on schedule or not, but I would guess they are.

As it stands right now, no, I will no longer be involved with the official site. Everything you will see has been created by Airside.
