All you hardcore commenters and forum peeps - READ THIS!

You all rock the hizzy. No question. However, you hardcore commenters need to help us out a little bit. Some of you have shortened your footer to a single line, and for that, you're promoted to the second human wave. I want to make as many comments as possible visible at one time, which means I need you to tighten up your comments.

Here's what I need you guys (Treed, this means you) to do to help us out.

  1. Please make your footer a SINGLE line! Yeah, you have to edit and make it concise. Welcome to my world, I have to edit crap all the time. 
  2. Try not to use returns/line breaks as punctuation. I know you're seperating your thoughts, looks cool, but just takes up too much vertical space. If you want to get several thoughts into one commet, try using ellipses ( ... ) between them. The returns/line breaks are chewing up a ton of space on the page. 
  3. If you must use a line break or return, use a "soft" one. This site takes any return and makes it two lines of a break, not one. If you hold down shift-return, however, it's a normal one-line break. This will help out a lot.
  4. Make sure you don't have a return at the end of your footer. Some people (that means you, Admiral) have an accidental return at the end of your footer, which ads not one, but TWO lines. So go into the footer and make sure there is no return at the end.

That's it for now, you Damn Dirty Junkies!

I am spreading the word of Master Sigler- Even posted the Randomhouse link on my PipeForum....and he fusses about the FOOTER?  Shouldn't he be getting tanks painted and preparing the interogation chambers? 

 

Keep up a good tradition- Smoke a pipe....


Thanks goodness for cell phones ...

I can be on the factory floor, specifying just what kind of plaid I want on the tanks, and STILL fuss about footers!

Pedantry is fun!

"Tartan" refers to the pattern, while a "plaid" is actually a garment; a sort of "kilt on steroids" - the over-the-shoulder thing they wore in Braveheart (and don't get me started on THAT thing). I love my adopted Scottish heritage. :D [I think, therefore I'm right. -Hugo Rune]

Hey, He's Sigler!!!

You are the nattering na-bob of narcissism.  Bitch bitch whine moan... 

But we take it.... Why?  Because you're a woman!  Well, not really, but you are.

That's why we take it, and take it, and take it!  Cause you've got it, we don't and we need it!!!!!

I would pull a line out of Arnold's "Total Recall"

SynapticJam's picture

But it would be horribly inappropriate and in bad taste... So those who know, chuckle quietly to yourselves, to those that don't forget I even mentioned it....  Sorry Treed, couldn't stop the synapses from firing...

Naw, you're just providing protection!

SynapticJam's picture

Protection for the FDO!  Get him to wear a dark jacket, put some mirrored shades on him, have him stand 1ft back and to the right of Sigler cocking his head to the side with his hand to his ear like he's got a communicator there... Perfect bodyguard pose...  That would be cool...

Nice job with Nocturnal.  Your trading spots with JC on a monthly basis for number of hits on your websites.  I predict you'll pull ahead comfortably after April 1 and the book tour.

And how are you measuring that?

scottsigler's picture
Call me curious.

Let's move some secondary discussions into the forums

scottsigler's picture

Ladies & Gents,

First of all, the Ice Pirates is a hands-down classic. 

Second, only the most tested, dilligent (and insane) Junkies are reading this particular thread. So this is from me to you.

For the next 4-6 weeks, Crown is going gah-gah with media coverage and advertising. We're going to be drawing 1.4 metric pissloads of new people to this site. If I can lock in 25% to 50% of these new visitors, that will put the road to World Domination in sight.

So, for the next 4-6 weeks, please try to move secondary conversations into the forums. I want to keep the blog comments focused on the blog content, at least as much as we can. This is so new people can feel the excitement you all feel about the actual stories. It should also help to add more voices to the story-related conversation.

So, when the huge Ice Pirates thread comes up, just post a comment like "Ice Pirates is a classic! Here's a link to a forum post about the movie" then have at it !

Sorry to be a pain in the ass - world domination requires anticipating when new recruits will be lining up to swear allegiance, and making sure they don't chicken out and go get some McNuggets instead.  


can't wait for the release....

You know what this sounds like?

Sounds like a post to push over to another thread...

HA!  So....  I'll post a comment like "Yeah, Mumo is an anal fissure, Here's a link to a forum post about fixation with all things rectal!  http://www.scottsigler.com/node/931" now have at it!

*I'm the Rear Admiral but Sigler's the BOSS*

it is a real rush to be singled out by sigler

-even if he is fussing at you...........lol
http://www.pgholyfield.com/maah/


I appreciate being able to partake in the Siglerverse

ogreoregon's picture

 so I don't mind being fussed at,  I love this place, I feel at home. It's like the friendly neighborhood pub..full of people who like scifi and horror, who are a little strange and unusual and very entertaining.  I can enjoy all that  and listen to the best of new talent, This includes the many people from the PODCASTING UNIVERSE that I found out about just by being here, and I can help spread the word for the coming of THE SIGLER UNIVERSE.
*I'm Rear Admiral but Sigler's the BOSS*


Mummo and Wallerdad?

ogreoregon's sig line: *I'm Rear Admiral but Sigler's the BOSS*
I'm amazed the Mummoo and Wallerdad haven't focused in on that 'rear admiral' thing.  It just sounds like an easy opening can of worms.

Wallerdad and Mumo may be all kinds of screwed up now, but they were raised right...  and nobody but nobody messes with Grandma!
