What happened to Radio Free Colorado? *CLIFFS*

It played classic rock... but now all it plays is stupid news and national anthems... really weird.

Anyone know?

Cliffs for FoBot 🙂 :

1. "Owner" of radio station was a total fake. Said he had various injuries, and other crisis and asked for donations. When the only thing wrong with him was his mixed up brain.

2. He screwed his programmers out of A LOT of code (weeks worth) and paid them almost nothing for it. He blew up at them for the tinyest things and told them they would NEVER see the money and if they tried to get the code from his servers the would sue them.

3. His rants were getting crazier and crazier near the end of the station's history.

4. He shut down the site/radio station with no warning to those who had donated hundereds or even thousands of dollars.

5. The ip is now running a cape town news station... but the streaming is coming from an location in washington USA...

6. Apparently this guy wasn't even using his real name the entire time he was on the air.

7. He ended up with thousands in audio equipment, and who knows how much cash with no apparent way for the donators to get it back.

8. Didn't read ALL of it, but I think that sums it up pretty well.
 
I hope you're ready for some reading.... The whole situation is really, really weird. I too enjoyed the station and did some research. Others are doing the same and coming up with some pretty crazy stuff.


Wiki (the discussion tab is interesting if you have time to read it all)

Someone created a forum for discussion


It seems that many folks have donated hundreds or even thousands to the station and now it completely disappeared with some pretty crazy circumstances. If you have time to read the Wiki discussion, you'll learn a lot more...
 
Well I didn't "have" time. But the Wiki discussion was more interesting than my calculus homework so I read it all. Very very strange indeed. Really too bad, that was by far my favorite online radio station.

Thanks for the links!
 
It's back, but the name is changed. Most believe that it's still Gary ...but that he's messing with people. Still a weird situation.
