I suppose "stevienicks.com" was just too expensive??

Oh, and nice way to provide a referral link to the new URL. Perhaps it's finally time to do away with the "nicks fix" moniker once and for all. It's a cute name for a fansite, but definitely not appropriate for an "official" site.

how many urls was this site running under??

nicksfix.com
rockalittle.com
stevienicks.net

but i agree, the site looks cheap. and doesnt really offer anything new.
she'd be better off without it. i can get all my new Stevie info other places (like here) waaay before nicksfix gets it up, if they ever do.

And considering lindseybuckingham.com is basically a design template that gets updated only when the webmistress has new info to copy/paste, its not like the bar is set all that high.

I agree...if I was looking for info, Nixfix would be the last place I would think to go. I always come here first anyway. I think it all stems from the fact that Stevie is so anti-technology that she doesn't push to have a more official website. Someone needs to explain to her that the internet could realllllly help her out in terms of reaching fans...it would generate A LOT of interest in her in general...but she's so effing stubborn! I was hoping that hanging out with Dave Stewart and his twittering ways would open her eyes at least a little. She doesn't have to like it, she just has to take advantage of it

Anyone who goes to the Nicksfix for anything, IMO is a fool.

www.nickslive.blogspot.com is the best source, EVER!

I don't know, the Nicks Fix has a lot of Stevie stuff that you can't find on many artists websites, such as:
-Concert Setlists for all her tours
-Lyrics to every song she has sang on in alphabetical order, also stating when and what they were released on.
- Links to most of the interviews and articles about her over her entire career.
- Lists of all her solo albums, Fleetwood Mac albums, Singles, Soundtracks, and albums she has appeared on.
- A section including all the random Stevie sightings.
- Covers people have done of Stevie songs
- Reviews
- Some of her journals
- Pages for her backup singers
- And even a games section


You usually don't find that much detailed information on artists websites. However, I do agree that nicksfix is lacking some. It needs a better layout. It needs to stream her music. It needs to be updated more often. It needs new photos, I think they have been rehashing the same 30 pictures of the month for the past 10 years. She needs to participate in her "Ask Stevie" more than once a year. It does need improvement, but you can't deny that it is quite decent. If you weren't a die hard Stevie fan and you stumbled upon her website, you'd think you found quite a substantial amount of info.

Warner Bros. won't allow that. It likes to keep its artists' music a secret that even they can't divulge.

I love John, my fellow Dallasite!

He worked very hard to become official (finally in 1997!). There is no site as comprehensive with reviews and articles and links. John is very organized. Sorry, starting a new thread about Stevie on TMZ is a discussion, while the NicksFix has sightings and concerts and reviews in a structured order, as an official site should, not just new threads started.

Agreed! But I do believe it should be made a little more snazzy. Put a flash intro and spice up the layout a little!

Honestly, I won't miss the nicksfix. I get far more info (and in advance) here on The Ledge.

Stevie hasn't posted her journals or answered any fan questions (not that her answers were ever particularly insighful) in ages at the nicksfix.

However, I will miss Lori's answers page. She came across as very friendly and had interesting tidbits.
