About Koreabridge.net

September 2009

Pusanweb.com and the Koreabridge Forums & Classifieds have been merged into one site - Koreabridge.net.  It is now the hub for all content, while regional content is (or will be) available at sub-sections like koreabridge.net/busan If you were registered at Pusanweb.com or one of the other component sites (forum, classifieds, etc.) you will need to register here, but that ID can be used for all parts of this new site.  

Koreabridge aims to feature Korea-related content (writings, photos,  audio and video podcasts) already being produced online while minimzing some of the 'challenges' and annoyances (multiple logins, confusion about where to post, lack of fresh media content, etc.) that Pweb/KB users have experienced over the years. 

Some content from publishers will be hosted elsewhere (Youtube, photobucket, blogs, etc) but brought into Koreabridge in a way that allows publishers to customize it further (if desired) and includes a signature space that can be used for their own ads or any other message.  Anyone can become a publisher as long as their content is related to Korea and does not violate our posting policies. We're planning on experimenting with  a 'vote up/down'  button on most content to help promote content the community finds most engaging.

Most major sections should be functional, although not necessarily up to specs for design and documention. There is still a lot of building and designing to do. You can help with troubleshooting and tweaking by posting any bug reports, feature requests, or other feedback in the Koreabridge Stuff Forum.  

Finally, thanks to all those who have kept Pusanweb and Koreabridge chugging along these last few years. Thanks to Sarah, Jeffery, and all the mods who've worked behind the scenes to help keep the content flowing.  Thanks to the advertisers who have continued to support the site and helped pay the bills for all these years. And a huge thanks to all those who have continued to post classifed ads and forum discussions, share their blogs, and/or just visit the site.  Hopefully, we can build upon the foundation that already exists to build a site that better serves and engages the community.
