Instead of pooling all of our info, we have to sit here and fight like little kids over who stole what.
I think you're missing the point. If you want to make a website, slap a ScannerMaster referral link on there and "collect" information from other sources you obviously haven't discovered yourself - what's the fun with that?
My hats off the RadioReference staff and volunteers, not only partly coding, but managing a high volume website is a lot of work. As a user that submits information on here, I'm a little irritated that you've taken my work of finding specific frequencies and assignments and simply copied that information without crediting
anyone. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to get worked up over some silly frequencies - but I only submit on here because I rather contribute to one big central database, instead of searching hundreds of splinter, wannabe websites.
Nobody is slamming you for doing a website, but outright copying information and re-stylizing your tables, come on now. Like it was suggested, maybe make a focus website for your area and go from there.

I have stopped working on my site 3 times because its a thankless job and no matter what i do the site will always be marked as a lifters site. Makes me want to get rid of all my scanner equipment and site and say screw it to the whole lot of you...
Dude, you sound like ham. You're going to stop working on your site because people are critiquing it.... awe...
I bet, if you actually put some work into finding your own information, strip the ads on your page, and stop making your site more than it is... you'd probably start getting some positive feedback, and you'd give the perception to visitors that you're truly trying to help out the scanning community. To me, it looks like you want to be super moderator of your board, somehow be the definite source of frequency listings, and make a small quick buck.
As I am sure you're constantly looking out for any changes on your listed trunked systems... why make it harder for newcomers to find correct information?
Compliment RadioReference. Don’t rip it off.
