It's also updated MUCH more frequently than the other OFFICIAL web sites, and has ways to send Stevie birthday and Christmas greetings, etc. that she ACTUALLY READS.
In my opinion, his page shouldn't be compared so much to the non-official Stevie sites, but to the Official sites of other major rock stars. From that point of view -
maybe it's the best page out there...
The other Official Web Pages, i.m.o., only have ONE take home message -
"BUY OUR ****! BUY OUR ****! BUY OUR ****!!!"
The alternative would be to put it in the hands of Stevie's record company, and BELIEVE me that would not be a pretty site....

I understand what you're saying and see your points. However, the websites of the other artists you mention, are currently moving more units. Meaning, they are more popular in pop culture and selling product. Marketing works. Most of these artists have zero time to actually participate. The Ask Stevie section has been dormant for quite a while as well. Do you really think Stevie actually reads her birthday wishes? I don't think so. She doesn't have 5 minutes...she's got to go!
Reprise did have a exclusive website when TISL launched. It was very nicely done but not offering anything on a personal side like Nicksfix does.
Don't get me wrong, Nicksfix is a great resource and John Kinney is a very nice person. The code for the site however really sucks and the updates are much more infrequent. It used to pretty much have updates on a daily basis...but now the info lags on getting posted. You can find up to the minute info on a lot of other site, including this forum of course.
