When I started this site last year, I had wanted to turn Valencia Road into one of the premiere websites about Power Rangers.  I wanted to slowly but surely recap every season and have a wealth of info on this site.  That all changed after one look of the re-version.  But then the Saban reacquisition gave me a new fire inside to finish what I began.

And then I stumbled across another opportunity.

PRangerX is one of the best webmasters in PR fandom.  His Power Rangers Online is well known for the large amount of behind the scenes info.  He recently reopened Power Rangers Network with the files he inherited from its original owner. Now back in the day,  Power Rangers Network, which was I think was like the third PR site I encountered in the early days of my online PR fandom, was considered one of the best.  The original site closed some time before Mystic Force.  Mentioning that PRN was on the backburner to the main Power Rangers Online family of sites, he offered anyone to take over PRN.

As Son Goku in Ocean dub would say: “I saw an opening that seemed to scream ‘attack’.  So I did.”

I took the offer.  Right now, I’m preparing a temporary layout for the new PRN, so I can post news on there as well as here on Valencia Road, while making a bigger layout to unveil later this year.  In the meantime, I’ll put the older files in WordPress as well start sections on SPD through last year’s season, RPM.

As for Valencia Road, this blog is staying put.  Right now, there is a growing PR blog community with such newcomer cupofwater03′s Morphin Legacy and the venerable Henshin Justice Unlimited, ran by Keith Justice that also covers other toku such as Kamen Rider and American comics.  PR fandom is heading for Web 2.0 and I would like to be part of this new uprising.  The old sites such PRN, Power Rangers Gateway, Amit Bhautmik’s Power Ranger’s Online Archives and Joe Rovang’s The Writer Guide to Power Rangers as well Ranger Central have served as my inspirations for Valencia Road and I hope to build upon everything they did for VR and PRN.

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank everyone for reading and stay tuned to both Valencia Road and Power Rangers Network for upcoming news and updates on Power Rangers and PR fandom.
