HazzardNet Accepts Buyout Offer

It’s with mixed emotions that we announce that HazzardNet.comhas been sold to new ownership.   After receiving a compelling offer from a media firm who wishes to license the HazzardNet name for uses unrelated to the Dukes of Hazzard, we carefully considered their offer before accepting. It was not an easy decision, after working together over 10 years and watching fellow Dukes fans become very good friends of ours.

One of the factors we had to admit, was that overhead costs for website operation continue to increase (MaryAnne’s cord tripping gets pricey after awhile), while the size of the fan base is on the decline. 

So when somebody waved a pickle jar full of cash under our nose, it got our attention.   We did the only practical thing. 

We sold out.  

MaryAnne is moving on to become an administrator for a public relations firm.  Brian has accepted a new position at MAD Magazine.

MeadowMufn is undecided on her new venture, probably because we haven’t told her we sold the place yet.  But when she sees the size of this check, she’ll be fine.

And if you haven’t figured it out already…April Fools!   We couldn’t ever sell this place. (Nobody wants it.)   Seriously, though, we couldn’t.  The Dukes of Hazzard will never be forgotten, and HazzardNet will stick around to be sure of it.   YEEHAAAA!

On the Road with the Duke boys and Cooter!

Fan O’ the Month!

March 1st is Catherine Bach’s birthday. That’s a big deal around the HazzardNet. While it might be Daisy Duke’s day, it’s pendragon1980’s month because she has been selected as HazzardNet’s “Fan of the Month”.

Pendragon has been a fan of the Dukes of Hazzard since childhood and her love of the best show on television comes through with her writings here at the best website on the internet.

A veteran of many years of fanfic writing on this (and less important) sites, pendragon’s character Doc Walker (AKA Dr. Chance Walker) is legendary on the HazzardNet. Pendragon loves the challenge of trying to fit the good doctor into stories where such talented writers are creatively bringing fiction to life. And she’s very good at it. Don’t take our word for it. Check some of her work out for yourself if you haven’t already.

Pendragon has been a member of the HazzardNet since 2003. She has made dozens of friends here and considers those friendships the most valuable blessing of her HazzardNet experience.

Her favorite character is Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane….”Khee khee…I Love it, I love it” and she delights in watching Rosco and Boss interact….don’t we all!

Her favorite episode is “Jude Emery” and she wishes he would have been on more than just one ep. Hmmm, poor old Enos would have had some serious competition for Daisy if Jude would have hung around Hazzard much longer.

She has been to two Dukesfests and met several of the stars including James Best, John Schneider and Rick Hurst.

Being from Pittsburgh, she is of course a Steelers football fan. She is also an avid reader of anything and everything, especially the HazzardNet. She loves the Dukes because it’s good old-fashioned, clever, funny, family entertainment.

Finally, her two biggest priorities are family and helping others. Us folks here on the HazzardNet are honored to be part of her second family.

Thanks for all your contributions pendragon1980! Congratulations!

Server Shenanigans

Some folks reported page loading issues with HazzardNet over the past few days. At first, we suspected that MaryAnne had spilled a hot chocolate on our server. Turns out though, that it was a technical thang at the host, and they’ve kicked the responsible parties in the butt. Thanks to all who brought the matter to our attention. We consider the matter resolved, but if you notice any problems in the future, we’ll blame MaryAnne first as usual, and then check into it.
