Our new site

Posted: Nov 30, 2011

by:

Welcome! It's crazy-whack-funky. We have a lot of bugs to work out here, Junkies, but we know that you all like to stick your nose into other people's business. Well, this is your business. A and I and the gang from BackMyBooks want to change the way we present my goodies.

No, not that kind of goodies. You kiss your mother with that mouth?

You'll be seeing more topical blogging from me on this site. We're adding some things to the sidebars that will make it easier for you to get your free stuff, and also easier for me to dip my bony Scrooge McDuck fingers into your wallet (i.e. "make it easier for people to buy stuff".)

We will be adding things to the store, adding the rest of my books to the Library section, and in general just messing things up until we get it all right.

We figure it will take two or three weeks to get this site properly broken in. ARealGirl, Tay, GK and I say "bring it!" Start mucking about and breaking things.

When you find bugs, and you will, email them to media@scottsigler.com. We'll prioritize, add them to our list, and start to make things all nice and smooth like a Diary Queen soft-serve.

New website seems to be a step backwards... No crack hits. No sign to stay who is an OJ and I can't see where you see who else is online. Bring back the old site.

@Stephenmid: We're working on that. We never figured out a good way to use the crack hits, so we're looking for a new system that better rewards the fans for playing on the site.

We have the OJ badges in development. Just be patient on that one.

Really sharp.
Excellent job, keep up the great work.

I think there are some Breaking Bad fans around here somewhere ;)

We're working on a badge for people who missed OJ and were here before the latest iteration of the site. Just hang tight.

I'm still trying to figure out what crack hits are. What do they do. Do they even hold any sort of value, if not I have one question, can I eat them? I imagine that they would taste like either apple pie or a chocolate bar. Which makes me want to eat them more. Now I'm hungry so I'm going to eat a sandwich, possibly ham and cheese, I don't know. I figure it out when I look in the fridge, and when I make it, it will be glorious.

Boom Headshot!!! Suck It!!!

Just had a thought....wouldn't it be much more efficient to put in a report spam feature? That way whoever is doing the spam killing wouldn't have to look around and see where it was or who was doing it, but users could report a post as spam and it would sit in a queue until someone with the ability to spam kill came and checked the queue. I have seen it used on other forums with great success and much less work for the moderators of that forum.

Do not mess with the affairs of monsters, for you are tasty and good with ketchup.

That sounds like an awesome idea, in my opinion

What the hell is with the clothes ads up there. It's kinda creepy, almost like it's a possessed junky blogger. One possessed by any evil clothes company bent on world domination. That's some scary shit.
