Questionable Modification
Greetings, crickets and trolls. Welcome to another edition of the Friday Q&A. In this weekly feature, I explore areas of interest to the Fark Photoshop community. Thanks for joining me again. As I'm sure you are aware, Fark has been undergoing some changes in recent weeks. Version 3.0 seems to be a vast improvement over the previous incarnation of the site. Only a few minor complications have resulted, such as the brief loss of the FPC Leaderboard.
Q: Is the Leaderboard working again?
A: According to i dig, Hobosong has implemented the necessary changes to the site's code. New contests are being fetched and the lost entries from during the blackout period are being shown, though a few have reported missing pictures. Hobosong is reportedly still working to fix these minor issues. On behalf of the community, I'd like to salute both him and i dig for their hard work.
Q: Why did the Leaderboard go offline?
A: I'm not too familiar with web design, but it's my understanding that the contest information is fetched by a hardworking group of magical elves. When changes are made to Fark, the elves become angry. It is then necessary for Hobosong to make a pilgrimage to whatever hollowed-out tree the elves are living in, so he can convince them that we really need for them to get back on the job.
Q: Will you be updating the Clinic any time soon?
A: I see no need to improve upon perfection. The Picture Clinic's award eligible design has remained the same for many years. Plus, making any changes would be a lot of work. It was hard enough changing everything over from the original shitty Blogger template to the current shitty Blogger template.
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 once again thank i dig and Hobosong for their continued dedication to the Leaderboard. It's an important tool for our community, and I'm glad to see it back online.
Stay tuned for more genuine appreciation from the Doctor!
