Forums are live... but not really "active" so I suppose I am just spinning my wheels and wasted money. I wish that it could be like the good ol' days, when we all had time to sit around and play with each others minds... the good ol' days. At any rate, due to the extreme low rate of joining and complete lack of posts, I may be changing the entire scope of the site soon to draw in more visitors... I really hate to do it, but I might end up spending money, to make no money. I am sure that none of you really care, but I have spent a lot of time and energy (not to mention money) on getting the site back active. I guess there just isn't any interest for the site, which really bums me out, because I really liked having it... there just isn't enough interest in a forum to actually cause a stir anymore... depressed. Oh well, life goes on, I guess the only thing that I can really do is wait it out and hope that I will be able to get some interest soon.

Logo and Layout

The logo is in the process of being refined. I am also attempting to determine the best file format for storing it. I have gone through JPG, TIF, PNG, and GIF. Out of these, I would love to use png, but the problem is that it doesn't seem to like the gradients that I have placed in the page. I might just modify what the background looks like, which seems to be a solid color but is actually a very fine gradient, which is a pain in the ass when working with logos. I might just end up going back to straight black.

The current theme for the forum is most likely going to be the final one when the forum goes live. I really like it, and while dark is not always good, it is really nice.
This is the link to the actual original theme file:

You can see what all of this looks like@

Site up

Testing phase began today for a new forum on the site. If you happen upon this page, feel free to come and help test the forum before it goes live. http://www.aperfectc.net/test/

It's even funnier AFTER someone gets hurt

"It's only funny until someone gets hurt"
Isn't this something that our parents always ingrained into our minds when we were younger? I think that this is pretty false, it is normally funnier AFTER someone gets hurt.
So what is it EXACTLY about other people's failures that makes us laugh so hard? Is it only in America that when someone gets their junk crushed it is hilarious? Is it more in the way that a person comes to harm that is the funny part, or rather the harm itself. I have no clue, but I can say that I enjoy it.
Well today, I humbly bring to you my favorite fail sites, all full of delightful goodies, but for the love of all things holy, DO NOT look directly into Demi Moore's bush, I'm still shaky.

IF you have no idea what I am talking about, DO NOT search Google for "Demi Moore's Bush"
JUST DON'T DO IT - enjoy

Failblog: This site is one of my favorites, and there is enough funny stuff on there to make you OMGWTFBBQ all day long: http://www.failblog.org

Today's Big Fail: There are some pretty good fails on here, probably my favorite being the stupid kids who appear to light off a bottle rocket in a sealed plastic bottle, I believe you can see that by going to the bottom and looking at the best fails: http://www.todaysbigfail.com

Tosh.0: Daniel Tosh is a very funny stand up comic. His show? Pretty much the dirty America's Funniest Home Videos. This is the first season for the show, and it is a real treat. The site is full of goodies too: http://www.comedycentral.com/Tosh.0/

Awkward Family Photos: If you haven't seen this yet, you need to. The site is full of all kinds of awkward and fail poses that "seemed like a good idea at the time." Well, hindsight is 20-20, right? http://www.awkwardfamilyphotos.com

Thanks for visiting, more goodies tomorrow!

Relaunch date determined

Busy day... but the boards are back in a password protected directory. I am using a PHP based system rather than the previous version, which was an ASP design. This is predominately because of the fact that the new server is Linux based, a decision which myself and many others that are part of the project decided would be the best bet. Attempted to design the auto redirects from the domain to the new folders for each section to no avail. Will work more on this tomorrow. Have a meeting with a local designer here in the city on Wednesday night, and will be discussing the programming of the new site with a close personal friend by Friday. The date is here, for those who care, the site will be fully up and operational as of Tuesday, June 23, 2009, which is actually the 7th anniversary of HollowSociety.org. *tear* Looking forward to the meetings this week and input from the people at my real job, most of which I am going to be asking for programming advice. If you want to get in and help me test the forums, please e-mail me @ ap3rf3ctc at gmail dot com.

Patience???

OK, I have absolutely no patience. I began the process to buy the domains and hosting for the new site today. They are paid for and all 3 domains should become active within the next 24 hours. GAHH SO EXCITED!!! No word on a designer yet, but I just said f-it and went ahead and bought the hosting and the site. I figured if I didn't pull the darn trigger today, it wasn't going to happen. The new domains are.... drum roll please.... APerfectC.net, JoshuaRyanMartin.com, and of course the return of the HollowSociety.org site. These will all redirect to the new parent site (or that is the intention) which is APerfectC.net. Attempts are being made to grab up all of the rest of the domains, i.e. aperfectc.com, .org and hollowsociety.com, .net but this is probably unnecessary as there is obviously no demand for these domains. I know that I am probably the only one that knows or cares about this as of this moment, but soon, my dream will be realized and we'll all like that. Needing to get those staff people spoken for, and designs need to come quicker than expected. I did this on a whim, which is actually pretty out of the ordinary for me. If the sites are truly 3 different ones, this blog will probably head over to joshuaryanmartin.com and that will be loads of fun huh?

Site relaunch coming

The as of yet divulged url for the resurrected Hollowsociety site (forum included) is on the way back to a browser window near you and on the search for a new designer. Several designers from shirt.woot.com have been hand selected by myself in an attempt to get only a choice designer to come and work on the site. I have actually budgeted for this in my new site's actual budget. On the lookout for old members to return to the site, as well as new. Spread the word, HS is coming back with a new look and a brand new attitude. Daiklave1000 will be a key part of the new site and I am currently on the lookout for new content and staff. A small stipend is a possibility for workers on the site... and that means cash money. Not a lot, but some, and content submissions worthy of posting may also fall into this category. Please please please, spread the word to your buddies.

Yours,
APerfectC for an imperfect world
