EDIT: IT IS UP AGAIN! GOGOGOGO!

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Not really surprising, but S1 is still down.

Please be patient. Everything will be resolved. *cough*

A really big thank you

For the past two months I have been working out of town with no internet connection. So my officers from Zenith have been taking care of things while I was away. I want to say thanks to them and this is the best way I could think of doing so.

Therefore, "Thanks!" Mugelf, Spotty, Bloodshadow and FlyingJoe for taking care of Zenith in my absence. You all did a great job and proud to have you with me.

I would like to thank Mistress AAylia for torturing Neithe in her dungeon. He came out of there battered and bruised but kept going back for more.

I also want to thank Ghetto for his help while I was away.

Again, Thanks to all of you for helping me out. Greatly appreciated.

This would have been funnier ...

... if only I'd been in guild to hear/see your reaction to pink flowers for our website this month.  I'm sure Ghetto still has a rash.

However, the April imp has been and gone now and I hope you enjoy the actual site design, which is a shout out to Rev and AA.  A little black lace .. sexy and dangerous .. mixed with peek-a-boo Hello Kitty.

Scumflash: Polls

The Admin staff would like to welcome Tofurkey to our ranks.  That's because he's now responsible for our polls and posting the results.

Expect a whole batch of irreverent fun and Monty Pythonisms.  As he said to me earlier .. "you've been warned."

Who's reading Scumbase

We were talking about stats in guildchat, so I thought I'd show you some of what I get to see when I log into the back office.

This shows where our site traffic originates.  So I'm giving a shout out to all of you for making this a successful site.

Short Note

It's truly amazing what you can do with a roll of duct tape.

Revliss, the Queen of Duct Tape, provided the inspiration for this month's forum background, while I provided the visual effects.

Being an admin is not easy ...

Ghettoforce is not the easiest of bosses: he's picky, he likes things "just so" and I often get up in the morning, bleary-eyed and wander over to my computer because my MSN is making repeated musical noises. Well, okay, if truth be told, at that time of day, I don't really think of it as music so much as blaring and honking.  Kind of like the morning commute in Calgary used to be.  Now, don't let yourself be fooled into thinking that I don't appreciate his comments and wake up messages. I like my bosses to know what they want.  It's just that he's about to sit down to dinner and is WIDE AWAKE and ... I ... I am not.

This morning, we had issues with the website displaying only one post on the front page.  When I went to bed last night, everything was working.  Well, except Zimmi's ability to comment, but that was on my agenda to get fixed today. 

I spent two hours trying to find answers before posting my problem on the blogger website.  Instead of doing housework.  Now, I'm not sure if I should thank or spank Ghetto.  Pretty sure I know which he'd pick.  Spanking, however, is the domain of Mistress Aaylia, so I'll just hand him over now.

Turns out that Ghetto did one of the ultimate no-nos in posting when he edited my Are we having fun yet post ... dragging and dropping a picture (Fluffy) from his hard drive, instead of using the upload link. What that does, apparently, is bring the entire page code over as well ... which results in TMI (too much information) which breaks the coding for the page and becomes TMFI (too much f****g information) real quick.

This is our resulting conversation on MSN.  I am Vahe (my main WoW character)

Zimmi's problem has been fixed by an alteration to the way comments work.  You'll get a pop-up box for comments now, rather than seeing them embedded under the post.  Not my preferred way of seeing them, but apparently, the layers upon layers of code required to see comments under posts make them especially easy to make them "brokseded."  Hope you don't mind.
