As previously reported Lynch recently launched a new official website. His webmaster has issued the following update:

"Welcome to the new site. We’ve taken this thing into overdrive (literally!) with all the new functionality. You guys, the fans, can sign up, comment on George’s news and blogs, there’s links to George’s Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, the whole ball of wax. We do apologize for abruptly switching. We know all you guys had been members over at the NING site, but NING as a company is changing and they’re completely revamping the way their sites work, so we chose to rebuild this bad boy in a whole new way on a more stable platform.

In short? This site is here to stay. Let us know what you like! Let us know what you don’t like. You can send all those rants and raves to webmob@lynchforum.com. And yes, we are still working on the music player. We should have an update on that shortly. There’s going to be tons more stuff added over the next week so keep checkin’ back!

Thanks everybody!"
