Only complaint is changing the forum to be more broader, it should be a main Eminem forum.

I mean I don't give a fuck who the owner is, I just think what you're proposing is gonna make the site much better...

The problem with it being an Em forum is he is in the twilight of his career. Once Em is done, TR is done. I'd say 95% of the people here originally come for Em and then become more involved in the site.

You don't see any active Tupac or Biggie forums...

I'm liking some of the suggestions - but let's make a few things pretty clear:

1. TRshady will never be sold or passed on.
It's my baby, sure it may be a little rusty, may be under achieving, but when I look into it's eyes.. the sound around me drops out, my vision darkens and a comforting warmth rises within me. It's love in the most tangible sense.

2. The website itself will have a refreshed look in the next few weeks and content is to be updated sitewide, with new features. I've quit my job to work full time on my own projects, one of which being TRshady. I've already started making updates, as seen by the revamped song list: http://www.trshady.com/eminem-songs/full-list. I know the site hasn't been updated anywhere near as much as it could or should have, it's all about priorities and I simply haven't had the time to update. Till now. Two important things remain: I'm still an Eminem fan and I'm still a Web Developer. It's all I do and what I live for. Such a statement may not have chicks throwing pussy at me like frisbees, but it's what gets me up at the morning and keeps me awake at night.

3. The site will never expand in focus to be anything more than an Eminem fansite. In 15 years when Eminem has called it a day and disappears into the mountains, this forum will be around for those to converse on what once was and to look back at his fans thoughts and reactions to the events of his career. Many other sites have expanded and failed, many have come and gone, but my mission was clear from the beginning and an Eminem site it shall forever remain.

Oh, and finally: Much like Tupac and Biggie before him, Eminem has more than cemented his place in history and don't for a second think that generations down the line won't have an interest. Historical figures don't go offline once a career has ended.

The only issue I have with the site is the fact that the main page doesn't match the color scheme of the forum. I seriously forget that the forum is actually not even the main site.

I understand you don't wanna change it, but every man has his price. PM me if you're interested in significant cash.

I'm not a business man I'm a business, man. Lemme handle my business damn!

But ya, TR could gain hundreds of active members and still have a close community. It won't/wouldn't be a problem

I only signed up on here because it's an eminem forum. There are a lot of music forums on the net which are bigger than this one will ever be. So, I'd rather this forum remain dedicated to eminem. But, I do agree that this site needs serious changes and improvements. I also like your suggested improvements. And, by the time eminem releases new music again, lots of new members will have signed up on here. So, you guys should take that chance to captivate them and make them stay and contribute to the forum.

But really, I've been on forums with hundreds and hundreds of members and it loses that feel. You feel like another member as opposed to someone who has a role.

Yes, I understand it's a forum but fuck, this forum is dope despite its more than welcomed dry spouts and crashes.


KanyeToThe's community is so large that it feels more like a city of strangers than a community where everyone knows one another.

especially merging Hip Hop and General Music


Even without new ownership, the points brought up are valid. I'd like to see Freespeech take charge, but of course another option would be to have for arguements sake, a so called 'CEO', somebody with the authority to make all of the changes that TR can, but without ownership of the site, like a higher-admin'.
