Wow, we can post again! In the process of fixing things it also seems like we lost some of the last few posts. Thanks to Google Cache, it looks like we’ll be able to salvage almost everything although there might be some craziness with the comments in the next few hours as evidenced by the random Ghosts of Comments Past under this post. We’ll let you know once we’ve successfully soothed our savage databeast.

Cynic gurukalehuru just left our 10,000th comment. In celebration, we just added a fancier looking comment board that includes the ability to reply. Isn’t that special?

Update: As it turns out, the scrolling up and down thing does kind of suck. So this is what we’re going to do. There is yet a third posting system we want you guys to try installed on this post. Try that out, and then vote.

Update 2: I restored the old comments system. It’s definitely better. How do they do it in other places? I don’t even know.

Give this a shot, and tell us what you think. Please vote in the poll or make any suggestions if there are other comment systems you know and love.

Due to the slowing economy, we had to layoff two of the three hamsters that power this website and as a result, we’re now having technical trouble preventing certain new posts from appearing on the site. Bear with us, will work it out.

If you’re using an RSS reader, and this is the last post you can see, it’s because we’ve changed our feed locations and you’ve got to update your links! Sorry for the trouble, we promise it won’t happen again!

UPDATE: Okay, the comments link should be working now. Add copy and paste to the list of editorial functions beyond my grasp, right next to spelling, spell checking, and constructing grammatically correct sentences. Anywho. That should fix the problem. There’s also a functional link to the comments feed in the Meta section of the left hand sidebar.

Mr. Shane Lavalette and I redesigned the site. I can’t even tell you what a relief this is. I made a mock up of this redesign literally the day we launched and as soon as the model was done I immediately began hating the old layout, a hatred that has grown and grown and grown. I am so pleased that the new layout is finally here. I’m looking at it live on the internet and not as a decidedly not-real screen-sized jpeg.

Note the log in form toward the bottom of the left sidebar. you can log in and out from right there, which is sort of handy. Also, your comments are now posted directly to the front page, under the ads on the right hand side when you write them. And thanks to the new tag cloud, we learn that Hunter tags every single post he writes with his own name. Nice!

I’d love to know what you think of things: likes, dislikes, suggestions. (Though, I’ll tell you right now, if you say something like “fewer ads” you have the wrong idea altogether.) So leave your thoughts in the comments, I’ll make the appropriate tweaks and then hastily go back to ignoring your opinions again. No, just kidding. You guys are the reason I get up in the morning – on the mornings I get up, that is.
