Changes
Well, here we are, still plugging away. I’d like to thank the sumbitch who went through and posted so many perfectly good links as dead ones in the music section, because even though you wasted a lot of my time (you jerk) you also showed us how freaks like you are going to try to game the system.
*sigh*
So here’s the deal: we’re working on changing the reporting system. Right, you knew that. Well, we’re also going to be changing that ‘top ten’ and ‘editor’s picks’ corner, and in the meantime i’m still wading through pages of deadlink reports.
Even if we could automate it, we wouldn’t, because i like it when you touch me.
I’ve been working (in what little other time i have) on some writing exercises; the goal is to write seven stories in twenty-one days, and it’s a grueling task that’s doing good things for my writing skills but terrible things to my sanity. Frankly, i’m finding the bug reports relaxing, and that’s a VERY dangerous sign.
David’s been working on a whole lot of stuff lately, too, so be patient as we get things up and running. Thank you for the mention on the blogs, folks- we appreciate all the attention, and we even caught the mention over on photocopied heart. We’ll try like hell to deserve the applause as we get the momentum going again. We have the technology- we can rebuild!!!
I find it quite interesting how there are some folks out there who are, seemingly, trying to “game” the system. I can’t tell if its that, or if there are just a bunch of terribly mis-informed over what the function is for. i mean, please tell me we aren’t dealing with people who are *that* stupid.
Sheesh, all one has to do is read the FAQ. Yeah, in the FAQ not only would these clueless little twerps figure out that they aren’t actually changing anything. Hell, it would only take about 18 seconds to reset all of the dead links reports (completely invalidating all of the effort these lunkheads put in) in the database… so its not like there’s even any vandalism occurring.

Well, some people are definitely using the dead link to report inappropriate content. This is fair, because we haven’t given them another way to report inappropriate materials. But this was just a lot of artists’ sites, which were up and running, and some of them were pretty good stuff. I wouldn’t take it personally; there’s always one who needs to mess with stuff.
Here’s what happens when you submit a dead link report: I go in, review the link, and either dismiss the report, or delete the link.
If you see inappropriate materials, folks, for the remaining week or so, feel free to send me an email rather than reporting it dead. We’ll have a plan in place VERY SOON, and i really love hearing from y’all.
Keep connecting.
