I was just browsing the site stats for this new website launched last week. I didn’t expect any visits but I also didn’t expect that people would go to StonyBrookSucks.com and use their forums instead of ours! In the past couple of days, I saw at least 15 new posts and a few more replies on their outdated, unmaintained website! That’s horrible news!
Why would anyone go to an anti Stony Brook website to talk about Stony Brook? I guess it’s all about Google Page Ranking. They have been around for a while therefore they are on top, and when you’re on top, you get a lot more traffic hits. This is what I’ll take back to Stony Brook tomorrow to stress to my team, the importance of quality articles and posts to significantly increase our Google Page Rank. I need to master SEO ASAP! 
In the mean time, please visit and register on our unofficial Stony Brook website forums! It’s the only way to support Stony Brook! I move back in tomorrow…

We’re so excited about this project, especially the podcasting aspects of it because as far as I know, there hasn’t been a podcast show for the Stony Brook community done ever! We’re so glad to be the first doing this. Our plans is to release a episode every week with featuring a different special guest from campus.
A few things have to be taken into consideration by us, our hardware availability and server specifications. In order to create a successful podcast, we need a decent microphone which as of now we don’t have, our first couple of podcasts will be done with my microphone from Logitech that I got for $15. The quality will suck but I think it will do.
We definatly need funds if we are going to invest in better hardware. Currently we are hosted by Spaceion, LLC, a small company started by Tony Cai back in 2005. Since Tony is one of the project leaders, we are not paying much for that now but as our website grows, we will need to switch to faster servers with more space and bandwidth.
Are you listening to this Stony Brook USG? We need funds! Don’t worry, Joey will write a proposal this month to request a grant! 
We will release a semester podcasting schedule later on but “listen” out for it!
