Holy shit. Holy, shit.

I'm so sorry for being a terrible webmaster.  I really am.  I don't have any excuses for not updating, I've just been lazy.  I haven't been working any more than usual, school hasn't been particularly demanding, and I haven't picked up any new hobbies.   I moved.  I guess I can excuse a few days for that.

Simply put, I'm sorry.

But in other news, we're back on track.  After running into Nicole Umayam after one of my classes I've decided that I really need to stop being lazy and get back to doing work.  So here I am, doing work.

I'm excited to say that I've given Alan Chesbro, a regular contributor and my roomate, some administrative privileges.  As of right now he can post updates to the front page and he can moderate all the GETFUCKEDON.com forums.  It's a pleasure to have him on board and I'm appreciative to have the extra help.

As always, if you have any thing you want posted, either head to the submission forum or email me at codyconners@getfuckedon.com.

Enjoy your day.

Some odds and ends.

I finally managed to get up to date with Lost.  It took four weeks to get through seasons one through five and the few episodes of season six that I had missed, but I am finally all caught up.  Tonight I watched my first "live" episode.  Shit is getting real.

In other, more bizarre news:  The University of Mississippi is has plans to drop its current mascot, Colonel Reb, and might be replacing him with everyone's favorite Mon Calamari, Admiral Ackbar.  I was positive that this had to be a joke until I read about it in the New York Times.  Needless to say I have my fingers crossed for the Admiral.  Nothing would get me more jazzed for March Madness than seeing a Star Wars character on the court.  Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit.

Again, if you haven't registered please do so.  I'd love to see more people signed up and leaving comments.

How to register and why you should.

If you want to take full advantage of all the new features on the site you should register.  Unfortunately, there is no way for me to transfer information from the forum database to the website's new database.  So if you've already registered for the forums you'll have to re-register for the website.  I can assure you it's worth it, and I'll discuss in just a second.

How to register:

1. On the right sidebar, at the very bottom (underneath the recent comments) there will be a link that says register.  Either click that or click this.
2. Enter your desired username and a working email.
3. A temporary, and rather long, password will be emailed to you shortly thereafter.
4. Copy the password and follow the link in the email to login.
5. Once logged in you'll be taken to your control panel.  While here you can change your password to something you like and upload an avatar.

There you go.  To log back in just use the login feature at the bottom of the right sidebar.  I may move it above the recent comments soon, we'll see.

Now why would you go through the hassle of registering you may ask?  Well, for a few reasons.  The first is that it should only take a minute or so.  I know my server has been running a little slower lately (which is my provider's fault), but it should still be really quick and painless.  Second because it let's you have an avatar show up with all your comments; the new avatar system works much better than the forums.  Third, I'm looking for new writers to help out the site directly.  You need to be registered to be able to do this.

Thanks in advance.

Let there be light.

While I was extremely hesitant to renovate the site, I'm slowly starting to realize that I made the right choice.  I got home at about one this morning, and aside from the two hour nap I took at six and the hour I was in class, I've been working on the site nonstop.

I managed to slice apart the music player and make it fit with the new design.  I pushed and shoved until I got the register/login system working the way I wanted to.  You can post comments without registering but if you register you get the ability to use avatars (HOLY FUCK AVATARS) and are eligible to get weird little privileges around the site.

Website overhaul.

So over the next few days I'll be making some significant changes to the website.  In all honesty, the word "overhaul" might actually not be appropriate; the word "overhaul" insinuates that I'll be making large changes to the old website.  I'm scraping most of the old site and starting over with brand new software and a brand new interface.
