Nickfix.com changed URL

I don't know if this has been asked before. Just curious. Nickfix website s not nicksfix.com. It's url now is rockaliitle.com. Does anybody knows why? They still use an alias, if you type nicksfix.com it redirect to http://rockalittle.com/

Yeah, it was discussed before. The site was actually down for abit, then when it popped back up it was under this URL.. It confuses me. Didn't someone say that that's what the site used to be called before becoming the nicksfix? Anyway, weird. For a second I thought well maybe they were aligning themselves with a possible remaster of Rockalittle, but then I thought to put that out before a remaster of Bella Donna or Wild Heart doesn't make any sense... So who knows.

Yes, the site was rockalittle.com before it became The Nicks Fix. Certain parts of the site were never transferred to the nicksfix.com domain and were always rockalittle.com based links... I'm assuming that with all the issues they were having with nicksfix.com John just started using the other domain? I have no idea.

I'd imagine that somebody started wondering why in the golly gosh darn gee they were paying for 2 domains when one would do the same job. It's not the same by the way - if you look around you'll see that there's actually quite a bit that's "gone missing." But I believe all the "major" stuff is still there.

I don't remember the original addy from when it was just a fan page - maybe aol.com/rockalittle or something like that. But after that - but before nicksfix.com and before John Kinney's stuff became the "Official" page - was rockalittle.com - that, I'm almost
certain, was the "original" address when it was starting to take off as a separate domain on the internet.

Just speculating, but I've wondered if there might have been "a little more going on here than meets the eye." Everyone knows that there have been problems between - well, I'm just gonna say it flat-out - between Stevie's management and John Kinney - It seems to me that HK Management was taking more and more control until John couldn't post a freaking smiley-face without getting their permission, in triplicate, signed by 14 different lawyers, one of whom had offices in Mongolia and was only accessible after a 14-day trip by camel into the desert.

So maybe they decided to go their separate ways, and now it's back to just "fan page" status.
Don't quote me on that though, and that whole thing - I'm only taking a wild guess.

Well, the management thing does make sense especially after the Front Line deal.

If I recall correctly, the nicksfix.com was nixfix.com right before it became the official Stevie Nicks website. I do not recall rockalittle.com, but maybe that is what it was prior to the nixfix.com?

I too have noticed the change to rockalittle.com and wondered about it though.

Well if they have parted ways I say GOOD! Now maybe it will go back to the way it was with almost daily updates and fan sightings all over the place!

Okay, so today I was getting a little Stevie fix online, checking the usual websites to get some Stevie news (which I haven't gotten the chance to do in a while) ~ and in separate tabs opened NicksFix.com & Stevie-Nicks.Info (which used to be a really great site for Stevie news), and the Stevie-Nicks.Info said redirecting and brought me up to NicksFix.com... which in my browser changed to RockALittle.com (on both pages)! Phew... that was a long story... hope you guys can make sense of it! haha... Anyway, the observation I am making seems to be... changes in Stevie Land?
