Hi all. I am Raiden, one of the web admins over at aF Radio. I just wanted to mention that we've recently switched domains, and you can now find us over at www.afradio.org! Along with the address change comes a brand new website still under construction which is powered by Wordpress and integrated with our web forum! And although many of the DJs mentioned in this article have since moved on, we have a brand new cast of DJs playing music 24/7, each of whom have unique playlists and music tastes. You're bound to find something to fit your style! And as always, we're always looking for new personalities to join the aF DJ family, so if you think you have what it takes, then consider trying out! Information on this and more will be up on the new website soon. Please join us as we move to revitalize and bring in new era for our community. Sincerely, Raiden @ aF Radio http://www.afradio.org

Af radio bans you for the stupidest reasons, I got banned for just talking about another radio station with someone in the IRC chat, and I am so fed up with Af's anal moderators. Seriously afradio's even worst than communism, and they cheat in their listener peak by opening multiple radio sessions. How low can that get? If I were you, I would go support bigbradio or other online radio stations than afradio. at least they're not anal and uptight as afradio.
