Questionable Version
Greetings, crickets and trolls. How nice of you to join me for another edition of the Friday Q&A. With the holiday season beginning, I hope we can put our differences behind us and move forward together in the spirit of positivity. As long as you admit that you're 100% wrong and a jackass. Let's agree to agree while I answer this week's questions.
Q: When is the TotalFark convention?
A: That's a damn good question. When Drew introduced ads to TF, he promised a number of trade offs to make up for the lameness of advertising on a pay site. One such trade off was the UltraFark email domain, which is currently being offered to users who purchase a six month subscription. Along with the email system, Drew also announced a yearly TotalFark-only convention. No further details were given, but it was assumed that the festivities would involve five hundred people camped out on his living room floor with sleeping bags.
Q: Will we ever see a return to 700 pixel width for Photoshop entries?
A: This question is mulled over periodically in the Photoshop community, but never gets an official response. You may recall that before the Fark redesign, Photoshop contest entries could be a maximum of 700 pixels in width. Then along came Fark 2.0, and suddenly we had a new 640 width restriction to deal with and collectively "get over." The disappointing official response to this problem is something most site regulars would rather forget. Look for changes sometime after Hell freezes over, but slightly before pigs fly.
Q: Why does Fark's management continue to ignore our concerns?
A: The powers that be are in no hurry to address any issues of site layout, no matter how shrill the cries of their detractors may be. Unfortunate, because Fark's ad space is poorly utilized. A few simple changes would allow for wider comments. But what happens? Those 340 gray pixels continue to mock us as we resize our latest artistic masterpiece and/or fart joke to fit the 640 restriction.
That's all for this time, gentle reader. Thanks again for stopping by. Remember to voice your concerns about problems like the size restriction in a constructive manner. Hopefully, Drew will take the width issue into consideration when Fark 3.0 is one day introduced. While the majority of regular Farkers have moved on, most Photoshoppers would like their 60 pixels back.
Stay tuned for more obvious understatements from the Doctor!

The 640 width restriction is really a damn nuisance. Especially given the eagerness at which images seem to be greenlit that are just way too busy, too small, or both.
Not too long ago someone shrunk an image down to like 550 and posted that as the 'O'. I posted one properly at 640 (with a snarky comment) and it got yanked in favor of the miniscule one. "One 'O' is enough, thank you" was the lame ass message I got.
That sucks, because so many PSers get their source image from the posted O, not the link. Half the images probably ended up looking terrible for no reason. You should have said something in the forum, I'm sure Gwinny would have understood your position.
A lot of people are mad about the queue right now. Believe me, you're not the only one that hates to see these tiny images greenlit. I'm sensing a lot of frustration with the admins.
...looking terrible for no reason?
Yes. Blame Fark for "stewpid n00bs" not grabbing the original O and for their bad photoshopping. Even if they grabbed the larger original most of the shops would have looked terrible anyway. That's always been the Fark way.

Stay the fuck away from Fark if you think it's so terrible. You have not been missed, except maybe by your sock puppets.
Please limit your pathetic whining to the confines of the TFPSTC. Nobody here is interested in your superiority complex. Feel free to fuck off and DIAF.
TIA!
You are a liar and a poor excuse for a journalist. Your Friday Q & A is never posted until Saturday. If you were an honest person you would name change it to Saturday Q&A. Here is a question for ya, mate.
"How many regular readers do you think you have?" Based on the comments you get on average you don't get any. You aren't sparking discussion and no one gives a twat about your musings on Fark.
And everyone knows that you are TSZ. The secret's out you cock. Go away for real.
Toodles.

The person who has impersonated half the PSAEF is calling me a liar. Fuck you. And I never called myself a journalist, asshole.
Your Friday Q & A is never posted until Saturday.
So fucking what? When I started this thing I had a lot more time available on Friday nights than I do now. I still write the Q&A on Friday, but sometimes don't have time to post until later on. But you obviously have tons of time to visit my blog. Fucking kill yourself.
If you were an honest person you would name change it to Saturday Q&A.
That sounds crappy. It just doesn't have the awesome ring that Friday Q&A has. Sorry, no deal. Fuck off.
Here is a question for ya, mate.
And here's a question for you. Why are you constantly trying to pass yourself off as "not" TheSniperZERO? Has that ever worked for you?
"How many regular readers do you think you have?"
I know exactly how many readers I have. I also know how many trolls I have.
Based on the comments you get on average you don't get any.
You mean like the snotty comments you're leaving right now? Only a fool attention whore (like you) cares how many comments he gets.
You aren't sparking discussion and no one gives a twat about your musings on Fark.
Looks like I've sparked something right here. Glad to know this blog continues to irritate you. It's never going away, you know.
And everyone knows that you are TSZ.
Pathetic.
The secret's out you cock. Go away for real.
Yes, I'm sure everyone thinks I'm you. That makes total sense, TSZ.
Toodles.
Stay tuned for yet another edition of the Friday Q&A! Shithead!
