Happy Sunday,

In case you can't tell - we are making some major changes at HomeTheaterSpot.com.

Some of the improvements include:
• a faster server
• Upgrades to the latest FBB software
• a complete reorg of the categories
• new ad code
• mending fences with popular former moderators.
• adding in new posters and moderators from the HomeTheaterReview.com and former AVRev.com staff.

Longer term things:
• improving browser compatibility specifically in Safari for Mac users
• making sure our new server's IP isn't blacklisted so that your Spot emails come into your email box.

There's much more. Our hand was FORCED by the former owner over the image of his dog which we were rushed to pull down. It was coming down anyway but it made us hurry with the unveiling of the new HTspot. Bare with us - there is a LOT of good stuff coming.

Also - if you would - download Google Toolbar and Alexa Sparky for your Firefox as that helps tell those services that you are reading the Spot. HTspot was once a mighty site and with your help we can bring it back. Just in Alexa ranking (3 month average) we've gotten it down from 800k to 674,000 in about 2 weeks. Clearly, people are coming back in volume. Under 100k is the key number. AVS Forum is at like 3500 - how's that for a lofty goal?

All the best!!!!

Jerry

Good luck! I hope to see some old familiar faces back soon.
