HCTF Site Chat!

* * * * * 2 votes

Hey Crapheads - The first (of two) features I’m adding to the new HCTF is built-in site chat which is usable directly through your browser. Site chat will be an easy place for frequent visitors of the site to stop by, paste a link, say hi or hang out in. I’ll be there pretty much every weekday. I’ll be stoked to meet everybody the Monday after the new site goes live. See you crapheads then!

New site layout info

The new HCTF (coming December 7th) will get a face lift as well as some new members of the side-bar. Right now the only members of the sidebar are search, the RSS meter, the tag-cloud and an advertisement (click on it to support the site!). On the new site we’ll have

  • Most popular post
  • Polls
  • Random Image (from the archive)
  • Tag-Cloud
  • Advertisements
  • PayPal donate meter (to fund new site features)
  • Most recent comments
  • Join our Facebook Group widget

In an effort for a better looking site I had to “clean house” on the collage of characters for the site banner. There have been some additons and some removals but the initial feedback I’ve got from some site users has been good.

Hotlinking will finally be enabled! I’m going to enable a ‘watermarking’ plugin so that the images will be tagged with HCTF information. Link your friends directly to the images (unless of course you think our captions make the images funnier…).

Stay tuned next week for details about one of two big site features coming on December 7th!

HCTF Gets a 1 Year Makeover

* * * * * 1 votes

Hey Crapheads,

The first 11 months of HCTF have been super fun for me and as a bonus, the site viewership has steadily climbed each month. Last month we had about 31,000 pageviews from roughly 4,600 unique viewers. To thank everybody for their continued patronage I’m in the process of doing a site redesign that includes non-ghetto graphics and two new features you’ll be very happy to make use of, I’m sure. I’ll have more details as we get closer to the re-launch on December 7th - one year since our first post.

Until then, if you’re still lurking, go sign up and start sending in some stuff!

Stupid script kiddies….

* * * ½   3 votes

Sorry if the site was running slow for a little while. Someone had a script trying to spider the site. In addition they were beating the living shit out of the wp-wall plugin, which coudln’t take the heat and was diming out the CPU on the server.If the site is unexpectedly down it’s just me messing with .htaccess files.

Back to our regularly scheduled program.

Sorry about the AFK

I was a tad busy last week with a new baby in the house but I’ll be resuming my quest for the Intertubes finest (or worst?) humor this week. Special thanks to Jolly for keeping the gems flowing last week.

On with the show!

Sorry about the light posts this week!

I’ve been on vacation this week so the posting has been a little on the lighter side. I’ll be back in full gear on Monday to queue up some gems to get your work week off to a good start though.

Contest…

* * * * * 2 votes

So yeah. Thanks to Derrick for his submission to the contest. Unfortunately that was the only entry I received. I figured with an average viewership of 50 viewers a day more folks would have sent in entries.

Having only one entry doesn’t really qualify a “contest” though so I’ll just buy him a beer instead :)

What do you get out of it? Your choice of a $25 gift certificate (hey, I’m paying for this shit myself!) to either Amazon, Think Geek, or T-Shirt Hell.
