Questionable Rescission
Greetings crickets and trolls. Welcome to another edition of the Friday Q&A. Each week, I bitch endlessly about the new voting system for Fark.com Photoshop contests. I have distant memories of covering issues tangentially related to the PS community, but that was in the past. Almost seems like another life at this point.
Q: Have you gotten over the new change yet?
A: Absolutely, that's why I keep bringing it up week after week. Over the years, our community has faced a lot of problems. Stagnation in the queue, infighting, and a rash of angry blogs that, um, someone was responsible for. Every time, some idiot convinced himself it was the worst thing we would ever face. Well, I'm here to tell you that this is the worst thing we will ever face, at least for the next few months. After the Mayan Death Gods attack us in December, cannibalism will probably be the worst problem. I've seen enough History Channel to know we're doomed.
Q: What can we do to fix the voting?
A: Nothing at this point. The powers that be are dead set on this idea, so we just have to ride it out. I have no idea who locked them into making such a dumb change, but he must have made one hell of a case for it. If I ever go to trial for all the images I've mangled, I want that magnificent bastard to speak on my behalf. Unless he isn't a trained lawyer, that sounds like a tricky legal situation that I would want to take seriously.
Q: Is TotalFark still worth paying for?
A: I've stated in the past that paying 5 bucks a month is probably the smallest regular expense that any of us have. I've also said that it's considerate to help maintain a place you consider to be your home. In the same respect, 5 bucks a month isn't shit. Every single PSer could leave and it would make no difference in Drew's pocketbook. Don't expect spectacular results from any kind of boycott.
That's all for this time, gentle reader. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed this opportunity for me to beat a dead horse without exerting the slightest bit of effort to make a positive step forward. Join me next time, when I will probably talk about the same thing because of how much it pisses me off.
Stay tuned for more accurate predictions from the Doctor!
