They didn't send me an email or anything saying they were making the change, they just dropped me. One day I go over to their home page, and whammo, I'm not there anymore.</p> <p>Got in touch with them via Skype and they said, "Oh - you didn't get the email?" No...and they had my current email. </p> <p>Oh well. I haven't bothered to sign up with them again because, frankly, the Goblin Broadcast Network (http://gbncom.com), which has no agenda other than just exposing new, cool Gaming podcasts, has been the most instrumental in driving traffic to my site.</p> <p>Good bye, and good luck, PEN! Let me know how it works out for you.</p> Yup, PEN dropped “The Bear’s Grove” after I was a proud supporter of TSFPN and talked about it to everybody I knew.

Oh well. I haven’t bothered to sign up with them again because, frankly, the Goblin Broadcast Network (http://gbncom.com), which has no agenda other than just exposing new, cool Gaming podcasts, has been the most instrumental in driving traffic to my site.

Good bye, and good luck, PEN! Let me know how it works out for you.

TSFPN was a great idea run into the ground by people saying "You Know What Would Be Neat." and no one Sying "NO". TSFPN or more properly PEN was so anti costumer feed back that they regularly deleted network critical posts. As for myself I would like to know what would make them run off a traffic generating show, I Should Be Writing. That was not the smartest move. Not that we are bitter or anything its only 100+ threads and hundreds of posts. Along with our Crit Forums.</p> Steve, No one can argue with what you have said.

I just don't see a need to bring a bunch of podcasts together under one brand.</p> <p>A better topic-oriented directory, now, that might have some benefit. A site where <i>listeners</i> who wanted to find more of a certain kind of podcast could access a decent listing. But it wouldn't be restrictive or exclusive. I'd rather see a web than a network.</p> Just to be clear: I’ve no intention of starting a “network” in the sense that it’s commonly being used these days.

Well at least I don't think they did because I never received so much as a email from them for the entire length of my membership.</p> <p>Steve, please tell me you're thinking of starting a SciFi network of your own. I would be very interested in seeing the high quality line up you put together.</p> I’ve been with a SciFi podcast network that almost fits the description in this post.The only difference is the network that I was a part of never made any of the changes mentioned above.

Steve, please tell me you’re thinking of starting a SciFi network of your own. I would be very interested in seeing the high quality line up you put together.

Is that a very subtle hint that you might be planning another sf network…?
