Hello and welcome to CNYRock! Thank you for visiting this page and thank you for giving me the opportunity to provide you with some history about the site.
In 2004, I had envisioned an informative local band website to unite the local band scene. When I launched the original CNYRock website back in 2004, it was merely a static site with information on it. The website became very popular, generating over 50,000 unique visits.
In 2007, I was simply too busy to keep the site updated all the time. I was also busy with the band thing again, gigging out almost on a weekly basis. So I took the site down temporarily until I was able to have some free time to get the site up and running again.
In 2011, I decided to resurrect the website, but this time with increased functionality and greater flexibility for bands. I wanted to take on different avenues with the site, tackling new ideas yet keeping things as simple as possible. I'm always brainstorming on new ideas on how I can make the site better for all. Your ideas are always welcomed.
In 2012, I wanted to revamp the site so that it's compatible with PDAs and smart phones. With the rapid ever-changing face of technology, the Internet has been viewed from desktops to laptops, and then from laptops to phones. Just has how laptops replaced desktop computers, phones and PDA devices are now replacing the laptop. Soon, most people will be surfing the Web on their phone as people are always on the go.
In conclusion, I just wanted to say thanks for visiting CNYRock. Whether you're a musician or a fan of the bands, I hope the site is a great resource for all your musical needs.
