Cue rant, sorry in advance.
Chris Harris set up this site seven and a half years ago - and the true fact it is still here today is testament to the brilliance of Chris Moyles. We still love him and his show, and hundreds of people over that time period have put so much effort into this site for no financial reward - be that in terms of providing sound clips, writing reviews, features, contributing articles, pictures etc - this is like the database any Moyles fan could dream of.
The site has had regular mentions throughout the years because of this, and the fact that - let's face it - it is vastly superior to his own official site, provided by the BBC. I believe Harris met Moyles's agent when the site was set up to discuss it becoming the official one, although I'm glad it didn't - because it can allow people to air their views, be them good or bad, about the show.
Recently the site has had some bad press because of certain comments yes, but these are largely made by newbies eager to get fame and fortune by bad mouthing Moyles - then getting a mention on his show (e.g Flame). Most criticism on here I think does tend to be constructive, it's just the few idiots that spoil it. So screw your "90% slag off".
This is just a messageboard after all - most people joined here without knowing Moyles reads the boards. It is good he does, because it shows he cares (or we like to think he cares) what his hardcore fans think.

Why so many people register on a fan site only to slag off the man and his team/show is beyond me.
He has mentioned this site so many times on air, but hardly has a good thing to say about it because of 2 bit losers that have nothing constructive to say about him or the show.
Does nobody wonder why he calls it the "UnOffical FanSite" everytime, maybe if we were more constructive with our criticism's then he and the team would recognize us as a worthwhile time investment.
I'm sure the host of the site, chris, would love this to be the "Offical FanSite". . . . . . but with the majority of current members posting........i don't think so.
