Friday Q&A

Questionable Excoriation

Greetings, crickets and trolls. Welcome to another edition of the Friday Q&A. This long-running regular feature often appears on the same day of the week. In it, I examine issues facing the Fark Photoshop community. Thanks for joining me again.

Q: Did you make a difference this week?

A: I make a difference every week, and this one was no exception. It would appear that Fark's administrators have answered my call arms concerning the recent drought of Photoshop contests. The queue still isn't perfect, but things are in a lot better shape than just a few days ago. Clearly, the powers that be have taken note of this obscure blog and are currently working towards fulfilling the every whim of its founder. Let it be known that I would also like a pony. I'm told they're delicious.

Q: Why do you give the admins so much shit?

A:
It's just a bit of lighthearted ribbing. Fark's administrators are hardworking people, and they deal with a high volume of stupidity. Moronic crap is constantly streaming into the submission queue, so the careful consideration of which Photoshop contests to approve probably doesn't rank high on their list.

Q: What could be more important than Photoshop?

A:
Perhaps they're busy deleting spam links and fake newsflashes. We don't really know, since any communication with them in the recent past has been rare. What I can say is that the quality of approved pictures seems to be on the rise. Perhaps the infamous parrot has been retired in favor of a supercomputer or some sort of AI entity. I'm sure we'll get quite a few good years of service before it becomes self aware and wipes out humanity.


That's all for this time, gentle reader. Thanks again for stopping by. I'd like to take some time here at the end to thank the admins for all they do. As the gatekeepers of our community, their contributions are endless. Please remember my praise when the machines take over. As a blogger, I can be useful in rounding up survivors for extermination. Though it's probably safe to say that most people will be dead from the Mayan Deathpocalypse by then anyway.

Stay tuned for more dire predictions from the Doctor!
