Serious Post

Hello Everyone. I'm here today to talk to you about a serious issue. As many of you know, this blog was originally started as a joke, and in the last few weeks has transformed into something else. Although all of the silliness and hilarity has remained, an additional factor has been added, our audience. Now while it was fun at first, countertrolling subzero, and making fun of the ridiculous things Ray says, it has grown to become an issue that needs addressing.
Although this post is not designed to point fingers, several specific issues must be addressed. Firstly the issue of blog contributors. Since this blog was started for fun, and with no thought towards the future, adequate plans were not made. The blog became fun and exciting, something that everyone wanted in on. In our haste to gain popularity, we began inviting everyone onto the blog. This is not to say that those who were invited were not deserving of these invitations, but rather that a plan should have been established beforehand. For, as I realized too late, once the lolcat was out of the bag (to internet a commonly used phrase) and contributors were being added, others would inevitably want to join. However, as with all groups, disagreements started occurring over who should be allowed to join. I wanted to be nice and not exclude people, while Porter wanted to not rush into adding as many people as possible.
And the comments, yeah. I know this is my fault for requesting comments, but seriously, if you are posting comments, you should know how to behave. I apologize if I ever was unclear on what was and was not appropriate.

So, the future. The blog will stay mostly the same for the near future, and then we will decide how to proceed from there. A few quick notes:

1. The ROFLmyZygote First Semi-bi-annual-awesome-ified-ithyphallophobic-tastic-isty-ry Blogging Championship will be temporarily suspended. Feel free to send entries, but a winner will not be judged for an indeterminate length of time.
2. Commenting moderating will remain for the near future, and hopefully be removed when we feel it is appropriate.
3. Try not to feel left out; we are working on a way for everyone to contribute without changing the original feel of the blog.

So, I'd love to hear your opinions. Am I making too big a deal out of this? Do you even really care about who's posting? Do you feel that you have been mistreated? Should the blog remain? Be changed? Do you even care?


One last note: I in no way want this post to upset anyone. I'm just trying to what's best for everyone involved, and don't want to cause any misunderstandings along the way.
