With the help of Leader, he changed the site back to their original colors of green on black, stripping away the light blue that Roloc had changed it to in an attempt to make the site more appealing to the public. Once again, the change was met with resistance. The artists became silent and withdrew their support, waiting to see what further changes Vamps and Junior would make. At about the same time, Curbie, another member and promoter for Madman Records, began emailing Vamps daily. Curbie was in contact with the Sacramento legend, X-Raided who was still recording albums from prison as he served out his sentence for murder. Vamps and Curbie worked out an arrangement and Madman Records became one of the biggest supporters of the Siccness, saving it from ruin.
The relationship between Curbie and Vamps began to develop and Curbie offered to buy the other half of the Siccness. At first, Vamps was hesitant to say the least. But after careful consideration and the consultation of his girlfriend, he agreed. Curbie wasted no time proving himself to be a valuable addition to the staff, networking with every artist he could, no longer feeling limited to just Sacramento. Vamps and Junior had designed the new site to revolve around the message board that had always been the constant life of the site and launched it on June 9th, 2001. Seven hundred members registered on the new site in two days and the Siccness began returning to its place on top. However, as the site flourished with its new design, animosity began to form amongst Vamps, Curbie and Junior.
Junior had completed the job he had been paid for, but had changed his mind. During the months it took to build the new site, he saw the potential in it and wanted to become a permanent part of the staff. Both Curbie and Vamps were more then happy with the success the site was having and knew a lot of it was credited to Junior, and welcomed him as a part of the staff, offering him a percentage of the site’s profits. Junior was not satisfied. He wanted a greater amount of the profits and threatened to pull the site down that same day if his demands were not met. Vamps and Curbie had no choice, but to agree. Junior was working at a hosting company and was providing a free server for the site, one that neither Vamps nor Curbie could afford on their own.
Soon after, B.A.R.T. began having similar problems. As their popularity grew, so did the cost of maintaining their site and Vamps contacted Mad Skrill about hosting B.A.R.T. temporarily while they got back on their feet. Mad Skrill agreed and Vamps gave B.A.R.T. their own section on the Siccness. The 91Siccness for the first time, encompassed both Sacramento and the Bay, providing one place for the fans, artists and labels. The animosity between the two sites dwindled and their members began to mix.
September 8th of 2001, three days before the attack on the World Trade Center, the Siccness threw a barbeque in Fremont, California. The event was open to all the members, artists and labels as well as the public. At its peak, there were over 200 people in attendance, and more then 20 artists came. Once again, the Siccness had thrown a successful event, with people coming from all over the country to attend. A television crew was there to film the event and get interviews with several of the artists.
