------------------------------------------------ Start of Malicious Bug buffer: Sun Jul 08 22:07:56 2001 Malicious Bug: In the space of 4 days, I made out with two girls in Kentucky. Awesome vacation. JeffreyAtW: Neato Malicious Bug: One of their names was Alyssa. JeffreyAtW: Cool. Malicious Bug: The other one was my cousin's girlfriend. JeffreyAtW: Heeho JeffreyAtW: The Midgar Swamp closed today BTW Malicious Bug: Good! JeffreyAtW: I'm kidding. Malicious Bug: Doesn't matter; I'm off of it either way JeffreyAtW: James and I are readying to go to the Metreon on Tuesday... we'll have a report and photos. JeffreyAtW: I know, I'm not stopping you. I completely agree that you have no place there, but I disagree that it's Jeff's Blogger Page. JeffreyAtW: It's JeffREY's Blogger Page JeffreyAtW: Not. Malicious Bug: Yeah it is. Almost entirely, with misc. stuff on the side. JeffreyAtW: Well, we don't add stuff. It was an archive to start out with, wasn't it? JeffreyAtW: Everything's still there. Malicious Bug: No. You had 231 sightings, and funny screenshots, and a good RPG cliche dictionary. None of which you can add to. Malicious Bug: They ARE there, but tucked away under the rug. Malicious Bug: And now, it's divided into "archives of old stuff", and "jeff's stuff" which includes yoru blogger, your trip to metreon, etc Malicious Bug: It's good that James is getting more into it, but he's pretty much a side thing on the page Malicious Bug: Not a co-owner JeffreyAtW: Yes. But everything's still there. The page is evolving. If I made a new page (which we did), we wouldn't get ANY visitors. So we're taking advantage of the situation. Malicious Bug: Taking advantage of what situation? There's no situation! It's just a blogger page with old humor/gaming stuff linked to it JeffreyAtW: The situation that we're still getting hits. Malicious Bug: So? JeffreyAtW: From people expecting to find RPG humor hehehe. Malicious Bug: Would your getting 2 hits a day other than 500 a day make it any different? JeffreyAtW: No... what's your point? Malicious Bug: You make pages because you like them, you like to put what's on them. JeffreyAtW: I don't take stuff down... there's no need. But I don't like displaying it like I made it yesterday. Look at the old stuff... 10 reasons not to wear an Afro... JeffreyAtW: In the sense of adding content each day, the Midgar Swamp's been dead before you joined. Long before. Malicious Bug: You don't like displaying what you made yesterday, but posts about how Ian J. stole your idea, or you going to Metreon is fine? Malicious Bug: When I joined, humor and games were the primary things to the Swamp. THEY were the features, they were what we updated on. Now, the primary thing to the page is, inarguably, your blogs. JeffreyAtW: There's nothing to display. I display my drawings. JeffreyAtW: I put up a chat log. What? That's all there is to show! Malicious Bug: The page is now centered on your daily loggings. Everything is to the side. When I joined, it was centered on gaming humor, and everything else was to the side. Malicious Bug: I didn't care too much for the change. JeffreyAtW: But you left, though. Malicious Bug: I had preferred my idea; a gaming site with our own personal pages on the side (Jeff's Swamp, Serpent's Swamp, etc). I had even offered to make a rants page for the Swamp Malicious Bug: I left because I felt I wasn't contributing enoguh to the page. That was before I realized it was moer of a thing between friends than a hard-working staff. JeffreyAtW: I DID make one. It was lost in the new design because no one updated it. Malicious Bug: I don't remember a rants page at all! JeffreyAtW: I think that the hard-working staff aspect left when we stopped supplying stuff from Cosmo Canyon. Malicious Bug: Look, it doesn't matter. I don't like what the Swamp has become. Simple as that. JeffreyAtW: http://serpent231.tripod.com/rants.shtml JeffreyAtW: I'm not arguing with you on that. JeffreyAtW: Does it sound like I'm asking you to keep on working on the Swamp? Malicious Bug: Maybe... but you hadn't said it outright =) JeffreyAtW: Well, do so if you want to, but you don't. Malicious Bug: I wonder if it would be noticed. JeffreyAtW: In the two+ years that I've been on the Swamp, I've only contributed a small list of stuff. JeffreyAtW: Most of the best stuff is from Cosmo Canyon. Malicious Bug: You've done EVERYTHING to the Swamp. It's your webpage. JeffreyAtW: I mean, contributed CONTENT. Malicious Bug: All of the "non cc" stuff is yours. Malicious Bug: Or most of it. JeffreyAtW: Yes. But that's still not a lot. JeffreyAtW: See? Check from one year ago... NO UPDATES! Malicious Bug: You should make a personal webpage. JeffreyAtW: Thoughts From Hell. JeffreyAtW: And we haven't made anything for it... until this evening, where I actually found all of the binder papers again. JeffreyAtW: So I'll be doing that... Malicious Bug: A personal webpage that holds more than that. It'll hold your comics, your rants (I still think it's a good idea to actually seperate those), TFH, roleplaying info... all the good stuff. JeffreyAtW: The Midgar Swamp's dead, any way. And we still like updating it. People who think it's dead have left. JeffreyAtW: So you've done the right thing in leaving it alone. JeffreyAtW: We're poking it with sticks, but it's better than nothing. It's still there to admire. Malicious Bug: I still think you need a personal webpage. JeffreyAtW: To put all my old stuff...? JeffreyAtW: If so, one's already around. And the MIDIs are still being updated! Malicious Bug: Malicious Bug: A personal webpage that holds more than that. It'll hold your comics, your rants (I still think it's a good idea to actually seperate those), TFH, roleplaying info... all the good stuff. JeffreyAtW: It's got my old comics. My new ones are too integrated into the rants. The rants are part of the Midgar Swamp's section - RANTS. We've moved rants into the updates, because it's an easier place to read them. Malicious Bug: ) Malicious Bug: sdgf3498tyqer JeffreyAtW: !!! JeffreyAtW: Roleplaying info... I barely have any. It's at Mundi Noctem or something. Malicious Bug: I know. Malicious Bug: Maybe you could write stuff. Malicious Bug: I STILL don't know about Skyler. JeffreyAtW: That's the thing. If I wrote stuff, there'd be content. I don't write. JeffreyAtW: I originally joined the Swamp to help James make it look nicer. Like Ragnarok. From there, my personality kicked in, and the site became somewhat dependant on it. Then we noticed we were out of material. Malicious Bug: Shit happens, I guess. JeffreyAtW: From there, everything I made was a desperate attempt to achieve a bigger audience. JeffreyAtW: Even the old design (the shtml documents on serpent231.tripod.com) was intended to make the place more like Something Awful. JeffreyAtW: Which is why I turned to Blogger - to make it like the content we wrote was everyday front page stuff. But we never got around to it. Malicious Bug: Don't make me say "hahe". JeffreyAtW: to the expression "we never got around to it?" We never did, of course! And it's not like we ever intended to after the original idea. I didn't say we were to become the next Something Awful instead of Cosmo Canyon. JeffreyAtW: Statistic: I haven't visited your website since you last gave me a link to it. But you've just visited the Swamp today, didn't you? Malicious Bug: I visit it daily! I like looking at other people's blogs/livejournals, whatever. JeffreyAtW: I have to go beddy-bye. Big camp day tomorrow - I intend to be jumped on by 20 kids. Malicious Bug: Camp. Fun JeffreyAtW: I'm just saying that a personal site to me isn't such a great idea. Unless it is my own - THE SWAMP! Heh. Okay, bye then. End of Malicious Bug buffer: Sun Jul 08 22:07:56 2001
