Friday Q&A

Questionable Vacation

Greetings, crickets and trolls. Welcome back to another edition of the Friday Q&A. In this regularly occurring feature, I do my best to answer the questions most often asked in our community. At least the ones the don't involve body odor. For the latter, I suggest you try using soap and water, instead of nothing.

Q: The Scrutinizer!

A: That's not really a question, but I feel your pain. In case some of you have been hibernating, we are now in week two of Scrutinizer Crisis 2009. Without a way to archive our Photoshop contest results, the Fark community has been plunged into darkness. Chaos reigns supreme, and armed gangs rule the night. Just kidding, we're getting along fine. Though the gangs may still be a problem in certain parts of California and Washington D.C.

Q: What's the worst part about losing the Scrutinizer?

A: This is a particularly bad time to have it go offline. We had some really high voter turnouts this week. Not to mention a glut of awesome threads to display in the contest browser. Let's hope everything gets repaired soon. Until then, Manipster is updating with no problems. Unfortunately, it still doesn't give an accurate vote count.

Q: Why haven't you updated Cliche City?
Fuck you, TSZ.
A: I'm taking a less hands-on approach than Grampy did. I'll make sure the site functions properly, and will update it whenever I have a chance. However, don't start lobbying to get your favorite cliche added. If Grampy wants to take over, I'll be glad to grant him admin status at the new Cliche City.
Fuck you TSZ.
That's all for this time, gentle reader. Thanks again for stopping by. It's always a pleasure to force my opinions on other people whilst asserting they are inferior. Join me again next week, when I will continue to present the state of affairs in our community. Have a great weekend, and remember to go fuck yourself if you disagree with me.

Stay tuned for more friendly reminders from the Doctor!

That's great to hear. I hope the site is doing well.

Have you had a chance to stop by the Photoshop Forum on Fark? There are some helpful people there who might wish to aid you in the development process.
