View Full Version : Coming to a decision....
hue_mee 05-07-2007, 04:25 PM It is with great sadness that I bring to you. At the end month or so, I will be forced to shut down the Freddie Prinze Sr.com site. I will also have to down grade Ed Brown’s Garage and Isaac’s site to a non domain - non pay per month site. I am deeply sadden that I can not do that with the Freddie Prinze Sr site without paying. For those of you who have or had a site at Homestead, you know, that there service has no free option available, ok, my mistake but for a very limited time. This is depressing me as I have spent countless hours and resources to produce a tribute site for Freddie and it has to come to an end! I am going to try my best to retrieve all the files there at Homestead and start another Freddie site through another non paying site, such as Geocities, or Tripod. I am so sorry to have to do this after all my hard work and all the love that was shown by all of you and those who knew Freddie personally. If you would like to continue to email me please send all email to this address.
email Suz (suzanne.magoon@twcable.com)
I will try to keep you all updated to when a new replacement is up and running. This could be quite a while!
Luckymama58 05-08-2007, 06:10 AM WE CAN'T LET THIS HAPPEN!!!! Suz, how much is it, we will take up a collection, I am sure. We want to help! Come on all you Chico fans and Chico chicks.... Are you willing to pass the hat and save our beloved site for Freddie!?!?!? I know I am!
Cheryl Harrell 05-08-2007, 06:34 AM We're so sorry to hear about this. The donation idea sounds good. You couild also copy your site to a free provider like Geocities or Google pages etc. Some pages are missing from my Freddie site where they took them down for some reason. I have no idea what I put on there so I'd have to do new pages. I need to get around to doing that but too busy right now. Good luck...
MaNdOSoNeFaN 05-08-2007, 06:10 PM aww that is a bummer! Yeah let's take up a collection! hosting and what not isn't that much for a year right? how about domains?
Prince 05-10-2007, 08:12 PM Suz,
How much is it for one year? Maybe we could take up a collection once a year to save this wonderful site....it's a one time yearly fee...and we would have Freddie. How does everyone feel about that??
Heidelberg 05-10-2007, 09:14 PM I'm all for it. We all benefit from the site why shouldn't we help to keep it going.
hue_mee 05-11-2007, 04:13 AM My heart is overwhelmed with emotion. The love and support from everyone here regarding the site is incredible. To know that there is this kind of love around here in our "Freddie family" is a God send.
hue_mee 05-11-2007, 04:45 AM Macca I emailed you privately about that, and in the email you can share it with those who are interested. although It may scare everyone away!
Suz,

Cheryl Harrell 05-11-2007, 06:49 AM We've all got to somehow save your site. Even if it has to be put on a free website provider. You have the most well known Freddie site out there & the one Fredie would've chosen as his official site if he were here...
Prince 05-11-2007, 09:15 PM I got Suzanne's email..and I hope she doesn't mind...but I'm going to post her invoice so you can see what sshe pays per month to keep Freddie's memory alive. It will take a number of us to do this to keep it affordable..but there is plenty of us on here.

The more of us that volunteer the less it will cost us all..so post here if you are interested in help out with the monies to keep this website running. I think all the hard work and time consuming hours that has been put into this incrediable website would be worth our help. I had no idea that having a website like this was so costly. I can surely understand why Suz could not continue to pay these fees on her own. Please everyone, post your thoughts and ideas here on how we can save this Freddie Prinze site. Thanks!
hue_mee 05-12-2007, 03:40 PM I wanted to touch base with anyone of you who were inquiring about free sites such as tripod and Geocites. I have tried them this weekend countless times to try to start some sort of starter site till I can get things back to normal with Homestead. So many things are not working out as I had hoped at either one of them. Tripod will not allow me to add video in the way I want to have it presented. They do offer a flash option but none of my video files are flash. Geo cities does not offer any option that I can find in there free
version for video. If there is I can not get to it! I am desperately trying to find some kind of alternative but it is very difficult.
I will keep you updated on more of my maddness
catcopy18 05-13-2007, 09:15 PM Please count me in to help out in any way I can - financially or anything else. I may not get on the boards to post very much but I do enjoy seeing all the wonderful new things on the Freddie site. You have my e-mail address so tell me what I can contribute!!!!!
hue_mee 05-14-2007, 01:48 PM Catcopy, I emailed you. Please let me know if you got it as I am not sure if I have your current email address thanks!
Heidelberg 05-14-2007, 07:57 PM Count me in for help. We may not be able to help you with all your problems but at least know that you don't have to worry about saving the site alone.
hue_mee 05-14-2007, 08:04 PM my only problem is trying to keep the site up and running

Cheryl Harrell 05-15-2007, 05:22 AM Welcome back to CatCopy! :) Do drop by more often. An idea occurred to me. If hosting costs too much for ya, maybe you could do the video pages on a cheap paid site & the other pages on a free site & link them together. I would hate to see the main Freddie Prinze site have to go down. We all support you... :)
hue_mee 05-15-2007, 06:22 AM Cheryl
I tried that already with Tripod and Geocities so many things are not working out as I had hoped at either one of them. Tripod will not allow me to add video in the way I want to have it presented. They do offer a flash option but none of my video files are flash foramatted. Geo cities does not offer any option that I can find in there free
version for video.
Thanks for the suggestion though!
hue_mee 05-17-2007, 06:24 AM Thank you to those of you who truly would like to keep the site up and running. For those of you who want to send a contibution to help keep Freddie Prinze Sr.com going, you can email me and I will give you my address. Thanks

Luckymama58 05-17-2007, 03:24 PM ok, I will shoot a check out to you this week
Heidelberg 05-17-2007, 08:44 PM I just sent an email. I'll try to send a money order no later than Monday.
hue_mee 05-20-2007, 07:05 PM For those of you who have been wondering.... I am going to try to do my darndest to keep the site going.. I do not plan to shut it down, even if it kills me! I appreciate all of you who have offered to donate in any way
hue_mee 05-23-2007, 08:01 PM I received a email from a gal who for Time before it became Time Warner. She worked the then newly published People magazine. She wrote to me about her meeting Freddie. She seems like a very nice ladie who still truly misses Freddie. We will be keeping in touch with each other. Anyhow, you can read her memorie of Freddie here.
Have memories of Freddie? (http://www.freddieprinzesr.com/HavememoriesofFreddie.html)
Cheryl Harrell 05-23-2007, 10:53 PM Thanks for posting that. It's nice to read nice stuff about Freddie. Let's us know how he really was & not the tabloidy stuff... :)
Luckymama58 05-28-2007, 09:13 AM Suz, Sorry I have been remiss about the donation, I will get it out in the mail this week, last week was a nightmare schedule wise. This week should be a better one!

hue_mee 06-10-2007, 08:09 PM Thank you to those of you who sent me something to help me get through this situation. I really appreciate those of you who were kind enough to help out.
hue_mee 06-16-2007, 03:13 PM Thanks again for EVERYONE'S SUPPORT! Your email's have given me a positive reason to stay a float so to speak. I have received many emails, and IM's regarding wanting to help out still. If you are still willing to help out please email and I will send you my mailing address. Thank you to all your contributions are a dear and cherished way to help keep Freddie's memorie alive!
HUGS
hue_mee 06-17-2007, 04:12 PM here is a little som som for everyones help for the website

hue_mee 07-14-2007, 08:28 PM Those of you that were so kind to send me a little som som to help me out with the website. I am in the process in making a special video to send to you. When I am finished I will send you the special surprise!
hue_mee 07-17-2007, 05:49 PM I would like to thank all of you who have visited Freddie Prinze Sr.com.
Your input, feedback and continued support was well appreciated.
I will be forever grateful for your support and concern during my crisis to help keep the site from shutting down. Everyone’s replies upon wanting to help out were a joy that gave me the strength not to give up and try to continue running the sites.
My heart was overjoyed when three dearest supporters, Luckymama, Heidelberg, and Isaac became a part of Freddie’s spirit as they came through with there offer to help out and actually sent me something to help support the websites. The Freddie site as I have mentioned in the past is not just a site that I have created for Freddie, but a site that all fans, friends and family of Freddie have had a contribution in there own personal way. I will continue to do my best to keep the site going till the end of the year, after the first of the year I should be back to normal and will no longer be in desperate need of help to keep the site(s) going.
Luckymama58 07-18-2007, 09:53 AM Hey, I was glad to help and I would love to be there for you in the future. This site and all your wonderful sites need our support. I know you have always been generous with space for my stories (yes, yes, I know I need to get back to writing! LOL)
Cheryl Harrell 07-19-2007, 04:58 AM Shall we nudge her? Hint, hint. :) I'd love to read some new stories... :)
Luckymama58 07-19-2007, 10:02 AM Well maybe, the thing of it is, I am planning a European vacation right now and all my efforts are there. We leave July 30 for my sister's house in NJ near Philly and fly to my son's base in Belgium the next day. We will be gone for 16 days, so writing will have to wait for a little while longer. Sorry :(
Cheryl Harrell 07-20-2007, 06:44 PM Have a good trip! I ebt going to Europe will inspire you to write a story about Freddie going to Europe. COmedy tour perharsp? Or Catm adventure? Who knows... :)
hue_mee 07-21-2007, 03:39 AM Thanks again. To those who helped me and if anyone still wanted to help out they are more then welcome. I've been a little frustrated as I was unable to make this months payment for the Freddie Prinze site. If I don't make the next payment along with the missed payment of this month, I am afraid Freddie Prinze Sr.com will shut down. I am sorry to have dissapointed everyone
hue_mee 07-22-2007, 08:34 PM Here is a special thank you from me for who all helped me in my little plea for help and to those of you who still want to
THANKS SO MUCH!
