[Scott Geordie Kid]

Hello All,

As you all know in the New Year Chris and the team are swapping shows with Sara and her team, and at Radio 1 Online we'll be making a few changes.

Sara's site currently reflects the fact that she's on at Breakfast, so we're going to change that, and at the same time we've decided to have a look at the Chris Moyles site and see if there's anything that we can do with that as well.

So, as you're all fans, I'd like to know what you think. We're talking about the Chris Moyles Minisite here, not the show (unless it's got something to do with how the site and the show work together...) and it would be great to get some feedback and thoughts from you all.

- What do you like about the site as it is now?
- What don't you like about the site as it is now?
- If you use the site, what do you use it for?
- What would you like to see on the site?
- What do you use the net for? (Things you might not be bothered about doing, but you do online anyway)
- What things do you like doing on the internet? (Things that you really love doing online)
- What do you think of each of these areas on the minisite at the moment:
- The Message Board
- Audio
- News/Features
- The Games
- Webcam
- The layout, design and order of the site

If you've got any examples of ways you think we could do things better or things you've seen that you think would be good on the site then include the web addresses in your message.

OK, here's the slightly different bit - if you could reply by mailing me through the form I've added to the Minisite, I'd be grateful. It's at

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chrismoyles ... back.shtml

If you need some incentive, well, I'm afraid there isn't any, but I might buy the best contributor a 250 gramme bag of chocolate M&M's, like wot I am eating now*

Thanks again, and I'll be interested to hear what you think...

keeping it up to date would be a start.

[Dickie]

Sent that in at the top of my message in the form!

[Bridgie]

i've filled in that form, hope it helps

[Sidders]

Are we going to get regular contributions from Geordie Kid?

The BBC messageboard system is rubbish, it would help if that was improved. A phpBB system like this one would work much better.

[Sidders]

I love the message it gives you when you've posted your message:

We've got your message.

We'll read it when can be bothered.

One Love.

Don't tell me you have better things to be doing??

[Dickie]

It's not like they'll be updating Chris' mini-site!

[Scott Geordie Kid]

keeping it up to date would be a start.

OK, thanks for that... but is that it? And you didn't put that through on a form - if you could give a bit more detail, specially on the points I was interested in, it'd be great...

Cheers

- What do you like about the site as it is now?
- What don't you like about the site as it is now?
- If you use the site, what do you use it for?
- What would you like to see on the site?

It's stale. The games/screensaver is old. The sound clips on the front page are very old. Still a picture of Will on the front page aswell.
I personally visit it just to see what guests are planned for the show.
It been more interactive with the show would be good. (Like Scott Mills) But that isn't really Chris' style.

- What do you think of each of these areas on the minisite at the moment:
- The Message Board
- Audio
- News/Features
- The Games
- Webcam
- The layout, design and order of the site

- The Message Board - Its crap. Takes ages to load and generally the people who post on it are *'s.
- Audio - Outdated. Is there a point in it seen as theres a Sound Vault/sound forum here is updated regulary with clips the listeners found funny?
- News/Features - Features? Dont see many of them. The news is updated little.
- The Games - Old.
- Webcam - Daily Webcam Archive here so i'd rather check them after the show.
- The layout, design and order of the site - Fits in with the rest of radio1s site, but it's pretty boring.

Been able to listen to the show online if you missed it would be good...

Don't make the site too good though. Wouldn't want it to be better than this one and you start stealing the visitors from here...
I'll post this on the form aswell, don't worry..

[Bridgie]

oh yeah i forgot to mention that!

please put moyles on listen again. with him being on in the mornings and me working in the evenings, i need to lie in. i think it would be good because there will be loads of other listeners like me who listen to R1 in the daytime because they work late and obviously the change over will mean a lot of his listeners wont be able to hear him anymore.

[Aaron]

will isnt on the front page anymmore.

[Mcqueen_]

will isnt on the front page anymmore.

Sorry. Who is this guy then?


Clickage for Biggage.

Maybe it implies the best bits were only when Will was producing. I dunno.

[Aaron]

sorry, i thought you meant at the top where theyre all sat.

[Dickie]

What a geeky amount of joy i felt when Scottie e-mailed me and said i was the 1st response to the online form!

God i need to get out more!

It was posted at something 23:19 last night - so being the first one to reply isnt really that geeky.

Took me a while to write mine.

[Dickie]

Know what you mean, there's alot to critique!

[Uglybob]

scottie could always pay me and mc for writing the reviews

[Sidders]

scottie could always pay me and mc for writing the reviews

Do me and Sam get back payment?

[Uglybob]

no

it is sort of silly for scottie to ask what we want on the site. we want it to sorta remain the same so that more people get peeved off and bored by it and come here instead. close it down, thats my opinion on it.

[Hattie]

dont close it down....just update it but dont make any drastic changes

[Uglybob]

since this is now under the name http://www.chrismoyles.co.uk , it is only fair that at least this place gets a link on the page.

[Dopey]

This place should become the official chris moyles site as it is updated far more times than the bbc site.
I agree this place has a better message board as the bbc's board doesn't have a 'go back to the forum list you were visiting' or a quick reply and it requires a checking through of posts then a removal of all URL's etc.

Also the bit at the top is always out of date, and the webcam is regularly in black and white. It would be nice to have a chatroom (even if it was only on during one day of the show)

[Sidders]

It does have a chatroom doesn't it?

[Mcqueen_]

Thought it got closed a while back.

[Uglybob]

i thought it did too. they never mention the geekchat ever now.
