Coming to a Town Near You...

It's been a while, eh?

Those of you who frequent Blowcaine.com should notice a slight difference. It's bright now.

When I upgraded the forum software from SMF 1.0.9 to SMF 1.1.1 I also decided to change the look and feel of the site, and add some new features. Aside from the hundreds of improvements to the software itself, I added a few more things to keep the community busy. First, an Image Gallery: Open to everyone 25 posts and up, you can view, post, and comment on images posted all over blowcaine. So far only 4 categories, but there may be more as usage increases. Second, the Arcade: Play games, comment, keep track of high scores, and waste some time here. Available to all users 100 posts or more. Lastly, the Staff Page: Keep track of who is in charge, and contact them easily from here.

I've been prepping for the switch over for months, and even though it's a simple procedure that normally doesn't even require backing up your forum, Blowcaine being what it is--a temperamental little 13 year old girl on speed--you never know when a simple change is gonna send it over the edge. So first I started beta.Blowcaine.com up again, and practiced with some mods and updates with troy. Then I went to the secret admin cave, and did it by myself exactly the way it should be, 30 times over. After I got it the way I wanted it, I shut BC down for an hour, and moved it all over. Rather painless...

Some things I know about:

• It's light
• It's bright
• It's not dark
• It's not the SMF default theme
• It's hard to tell where there is a new post
• The Arcade rapes you when you lose via PM
• The Gallery... well... is perfect...
• The new nav bar sucks (I like it *tear*)

I'll get on that, and fix it afap.

As for the future, I'm excited. WBTY Radio has had an awesome two weeks, from the hours of 6-1 every night we've had something going on, and even some times before and after it! I have a few more DJs on deck, and some ideas in the works so keep your eyes open for that. Also, the qualities of the shows have jumped tremendously, good job everyone involved, and thank you guys who listen every night!

Here are some things I can tell you about the next few months...

• Upgrading to a Virtual Private Server*
• Give away Shirts
• Car Magnet
• New Gear
• PR Missions
• Live Contests
• Interviews
• Liners, Sweepers, and the like
• Revamped website
• Instant Feedback**

* A VPS is like a computer, all of the software from Apache, to mySQL, and Shoutcast needs to be installed by me. But it does give for more opportunities like a private chat server, streaming webcams, game server, and the like. We could also use the extra room to start a WBTY Podcast.

** I've been working on this web app to do the same thing FreeFM's Instant Feedback does, plus a few extra features. When I'm done all WBTY DJs will have access to it for their shows!

Plus, of course, a ton of other stuff that I've been wanting to do forever. New Shop being one of them~

In any event, that's a peek of some things to come. I know we've been discussing a meetup, but unfortunatly no realistic ideas have come across. We will get together one day, but we need a good location. The City, of course, being the central location and one of the better options. But space there is limited. Atleast till the summer~

No matter...

Again, thanks to you all for posting, listening, moderating, deejaying, and all around making Blowcaine/WBTY a nice place to be apart of. <3

News and..... Weapons?

well boys and girls i return to the world of blogging. things have changed much from last we meet. I now have myself a nice new laptop, i am still addicted to the MMORPG, Maplestory. None the less i wanted to make this post to let you know about my most recent hobbie purchases . My newest weapon purchases can be found here.Also i now am a host @ wbty radio which can be found here. So till next we meet remember when in doubt Summon Dragon! This is Colum bumming my way out of here

Hoodies!

Wow, no one has used this since October...

Anyway, one week left on the hoodie pre-order. So hurry up and get them, once they're made it'll be awhile before we make more.

Oh and me and Colum are planning a night of underaged alcoholic crazy fun stuffs. But more of that later.

Cars

So yeah, I gots me a new car. Well it's an old car. My old car, but it'll be a new one now. Wow that's confusing... Originally when I was to start driving I was going to get this 1988 Lincoln Town Car, but it was kinda busted. Now about two years later, I'm going to get this car and work on restoring it. It's going to be moved soon so I'm going to take pictures of it and find out exactly what's wrong and work form there. Once it's running and done, it's big and comfty, so I think some traveling is in order. New Jersy might be a good test for it.

Love, Peace, and Donuts,

Oogling the Choogle

We have been kinda busy lately... hehehe

Just ordered a handful of chooglin wristbands. We joked about it a while ago, but it seems like a cool thing to have. So the blowcaine.com shop will be selling them until you guys lose interest, or I run out. We also have a few other things in the works, but this isnt the time for that. ;)

Just wanted to let you all know we're alive, and doing stuff. This winter is going to be an interesting one for blowcaine and it's members... Let's just say it will be nice to finaly meet you all <3

Web Site Shit

Yeah, so I bought my domain and it's at a stand-still right now because there are so many projects underway. So I just wanted to make a post and let people know (if they care,) that I'm posted again on my old blog. I will also probably be posting there for a long time as school is starting now and all that shit. Here's the link:

That's all, WBTY launch on 9/11. Can't wait, stay tuned for more information..

The Last One To Chime In

I wanted to wait till I had something really important to talk about here. I thought I had nothing but then I remembered directive one for every blowcaine member. Plug the hell out of the site no matter what! Even if your plugging it on it's self because you can never have to many plugs. So I am reminding everyone about blowcaine's online store, The Street Pharmacy . So if you like the forum and are looking forward to WBTY don't forget to go to The Street Pharmacy and buy to your hearts content.
