The word is patience, kid.

YOU DON'T OWN ME!

[Viin]

I use bBlog for my site, it's pretty cool though is missing some features I'd want.

I'd also be interested in moving my site, since I'm going to be retiring the server it's on.

What's the catch for the free space?

[SuperPopTart]

...because I know my fellow EQ Karana server asshats read it.

Yo, I'm a former rogue from Karana...

name/lvl/class?

heh

Obviously Spork.
51
Rogue.

She is who I play primarily now. My real main is a Druid. I've since retired her unless I need her as port monkey or Steelwhore.

[Rasix]

Ack, I played Karana at launch.  Ebayed when I hit 28 (one of many times...).

Is the server still overrun with French people?

[Shockeye]

We'd like to offer people a free blog on their own subdomain on one of the domains we own.

We'd also like to give people FTP access to their subdomain with a reasonable quota on space that way you can store images there if you want to link to them in forum posts or blog entries or whatever.

I don't know about the subdomain being on f13.net, however. schild will have to think on this and if there's any "catch" it will probably be in regards to the f13.net domain.

However, we have some other wonderful domains that I'm sure people would stab their siblings to get a subdomain on:

driveling.com
4tehwin.org
thew0rld.com
wordsarehard.cm

For those of you that have a domain name already, there's no problem associating that domain with your spanking new subdomain. We can provide you with the nameservers to point your domain to in order to make everything work automagically.

We're all about love for the users.

There would be some rules of course. Nothing illegal or obscene although immoral is pretty much par for the course when it comes to us. Or maybe that's just me. I think I'm "projecting" again.

Oh, an email address or two on your subdomain/domain shouldn't be a problem either.

Um.. sort of. A lot of the Fries ended up moving to the Euro server when it was put up, and now some of old French guilds have consolidated into some of the larger French guilds so that there aren't as many French guilds as their were, but the concentration of them in the larger guilds they became is higher. 


And with the server pop drop, well.. there seems to be a lot of "weeding" going on.

I currently blog through blogger.com and end up going through my own domain for it, but wordsarehard.cm is verrry interesting to me. How do we go about getting one?

[Shockeye]

wordsarehard.com won't be live until tomorrow or so but it appears we're going to use Wordpress 1.5. schild hasn't told me anything negative about 1.5 so I think we'll try that and see what happens.

driveling.com, 4tehwin.org, and thew0rld.com can be set up for a subdomain anytime.

So when does the orgy of cross linking begin?

At the appointed hour, at the appointed time, the blood of the innocent shall fill the streets where words are burned into the mind of the readers and the beast shall bring forth the army of the damned to conquer the....

Screw it.

Soon.

Ah good stuff....played Strazos, lvl 65 Rogue there for a bit after I transfered off of Drinal. BTW, who is your druid? Slight chance it might ring a bell.

Anyway, I get just giddy when I think of the chance that I could have a site at Strazos.4tehwin.org

I would most definately stab someone for that domain.

Deadaly. My lovely Druid. That's her name. Deadaly.

She's obviously dead :(

Hello all.

Please direct your attention to http://www.wordsarehard.com and start giving your info to Shockeye or myself.

Just being obnoxious.  I don't have anything to write about yet, really.  Perhaps in some time.

Hello all.

Blogtastic!  I will get ahold of you in a few weeks.  Moving is a bitch, moving from an overseas location to the states is a mega bitch. Fun times!

[schild]

In light of this story, we may be looking for an alternative to Wordpress. Yes, we're eventually (this coming week or next) going to be getting around to coming up with some f13 templates and whatnot. But now we're going to investigate other options.

Also, a number of you contacted us and didn't follow up. I'd get into details but the names are pretty evident from the last 2 pages. Anyone still interested?

[Samwise]

I'm waiting to see what gets set up and how it's used by other people before I ask for an account.  In other words, I'm interested, but not enough to be an early adopter.     Is that wrong of me?  Is it going to be hard to add new accounts once the thing is set up?

[schild]

Is it going to be hard to add new accounts once the thing is set up?

No, it will be very easy no matter what we use.

I have a free blog that I use to talk about gaming on MySpace.com. I'd be jazzed to blog here instead, but I'm afraid everyone will make fun of me for being so behind the times. 

I mean, I just beat FFX and Ico for the first time like, three weeks ago.

Can we blog about stuff besides games? Like what we made for dinner last night and why we think David Attenborough is a silver fox?

It's YOUR BLOG. You can talk about whatever you wish.

We may just bite the bullet and buy Movable Type. I dunno.

[voodoolily]

Hooray!

Hey, is everyone mad at me for being such a dick in the Science is the Devil thread yesterday? I'm killing threads left and right today. 

I did, for the record, apologize to Paelos (who is a sweet kid) and admitted that I was being a hypocrite to Samwise. Am I just being on-the-raggish?

[Samwise]

I have a LiveJournal blog that I stopped using because every time I visited the site, I felt obligated to read my all my friends' blogs, and many of them like to post several times a day about what they made for dinner, how they stubbed their toe, and what the latest silly internet quiz thing is.  Despite my love of internet quizzes, all of that stuff kinda drops the signal-to-noise ratio low enough that eventually I gave up on the whole thing.  The main thing about the idea of f13-hosted blogging that appeals to me is getting away from that culture.

Of course, I'm not in charge, so post whatever the hell you want.  That is pretty much the point of a blog in the first place.  

And no, I'm not mad at you, and I doubt anyone else is either.  You have to be pretty goddamn bad in this place to stand out from the herd of raging assholes.   

[voodoolily]

Phew! Thanks Samwise. I needed a little validation.

Well, I don't really want to blog about dinner and nonsense like that (unless I make something really stellar like buffalo pot roast with horseradish-mashed parsnips - yum!), I was just more curious about whether or not the content would be restricted somehow.

[Paelos]

I saw a commercial recently that they've brought back the Pizza Hut Buffalo Chicken pizza in my area. I'm not sure if this is nationwide. I plan to order one this weekend because of Haemish, who I think should do a Lewis Black type "Things I hate and here's why" blog. That pizza can be first.

Every now and then something truly awful slips through the cracks, but Haemish is there to scoop up the pieces in a segment we call, "I Suffer for Joo!"

[schild]

I'm going to have to order that pizza tonight as well.

As for my blog, I think I'm going to call it:

"I saw the cutest boy walking down the hall today. I want you to hear ALL ABOUT IT."

I hate livejournal.

I'm going to start blogging about my aquarium and make it mandatory reading for everyone.

I'll hide blog entries inside of popular threads.
