This Wiki Is Dead
This wiki was intended mainly to document Adam Carolla's podcast network (the ACE Broadcasting Network). The most updated section was going to be the show Daves of Thunder (starring Dave Dameshek and Dave Feeney), which was easily the most popular show on the network after The Adam Carolla Show (and my personal favorite). Unfortunately, I lack the networking skills and connections that would be needed to really promote this wiki and garner interest in it. At one point I sent an e-mail promoting this wiki to Daves of Thunder producer Jacuzzi Pete, who never responded. In hindsight this was understandable, since who the hell am I but some anonymous guy on the Internet? I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up in his spam folder. That's when I realized I was in over my head, and that I lacked the patience and perseverance needed to build an online community. To say I'm no community organizer is an understatement. Sure I could have tried contacting other people at ACE Broadcasting, or I could have joined the unofficial Adam Carolla message board and promoted my wiki there. But without an online reputation, I would probably just be written off by those people as well.

To add insult to injury, Daves of Thunder was cancelled in March 2011. A cloud of controversy surrounds the cancellation among Dameshek fans to this day, and for many it was a dark stain on ACE Broadcasting's reputation. The unofficial Adam Carolla board is arguably the most popular online community for Carolla fans, and these days the consensus on that board is that there's a lot to criticize about ACE Broadcasting's business decisions. Without opening that can of worms, I'll just say that there doesn't seem to be much enthusiasm for the network or its shows lately. Bottom line, the cancellation of the Daves sealed the fate of this wiki in my mind, and it's as good as dead to me.

Would you believe that since I started this in September 2010 I've only had one visitor make one contribution? So in the off chance that someone is actually reading this, feel free to contribute and keep this wiki on life support. I especially hope that Daves of Thunder fans will make contributions in memory of the late, great podcast. As for me, I'm going to remove my e-mail from this account and vanish altogether. Ciao!
