Update About The Bastardly



Once again, thank you for bearing through all the bullshit that comes along with a migration to new software that runs the site. As many of you know, we've tried our luck @ this many times over the years, but always failed (miserably). This time it's looking a little better.

NEW ACCOUNTS!

We can't stress enough about creating your own account on the site. For those of you comment without a Bastardly Account, all your comments will post under "Anonymous Bastard," so please-please become a Certified Bastard today! Our goal is to build the most Bastardly Community on the Internet, so please help us.

NEW FEATURES ARE COMING!

Just as soon as we get things working properly, we're planning to add many new features that will help you track everything from recent comments on 5 year old posts to even where your favorite Bastards are commented the last few days. Basically, our intention with the additional features is to help you breeze through your workday even faster. If you have feature recommendations, please address them over here & we'll do our best to include them.

And, while you all wait for things to get better, BECOME A BASTARD TODAY!!!

Yea, for one thing, make user names the same length they were before(!!)
None of this "..." crap.

Also, I preferred the shaded background to the posts - white looks lame.

Hey how come some users name are in blue while others are in black? Does that mean something? Also I would like to recommend putting up more "caption this" pictures for people to add their captions, that's a lot of fun..

i think they are working on being able to put a link back into your name, cause right NOW, it lookslike no "Signatures" are available..which tells me they are working on the "click on user name, go to link" kinda thing like they had before...

and thanks for adding the search back on...

Reply to this Comment

Okay, we have added the links back! But instead of linking to your website, they link to "My Bastardly Account". Same as the little link in the upper right that says "My B". That's your "Bio" page here at The Bastardly.

Once there, if you click the "Edit" tab, you can change your Account Info and your "Additional Info". That last link (Additional Info) is where you can enter your website URL. You can also put a little paragraph about yourself, if you're so inclined.

All of this information will be seen whenever anyone clicks on your name in a post.

#32 hate to let you in on a secret, well, its NOT a secret as ive said it quite a few times, but again, you need RIF, so what can i do but keep saying it...my life already IS hell. nothing you are gonna say or do is gonna make it worse. so keep trying, at least NOW you can "hide" under "Anonymous Bastard" and them come back with your real user name and whine and bitch and cry up a storm how your being attacked for no reason and blamed for shit you didnt say. we all know your games. you arent fooling ANYONE. so good luck with that. heres a box of kleenex for your first bitching session, and, the worlds smallest violin playing JUST for you in the background while you dry your tears...sniff sniff...boo hoo...

Sheer Emotion-SRV

others that i happen to think kick shit

Freddie King

Dimebag

Robert Johnson

about Hendrix, not bad, but not one of the best tho. interesting to listen to for sure, can even say a bit of an innovator, but, i think that he gets overrated alot. the 6 i mentioned plus EVH are a good 7 for a top 10. maybe even put Townshend in there too, while not the BEST, like EVH, i think he (and teh who) were a key piece of the evolution of rock music/guitar. townshend basically took rock, and added lots of shit that shouldnt have been there, IE weird odd chords no one used before, and LOL possibly since, in rock music, and made it work.

thats cool that you know the Rhodes Family. i remember growing up when "Tribute" came out his mom seemed like she was SOOOOOO nice, and that they were close.

it must feel indescribable when you lose a child, ive never gone through that, but it must be even harder when you are so close with them.

Randy seemed like a really nice down to earth kinda guy too. i still remember thinking how awesome randy seemed when i saw a specific picture of him i believe is in Tribute, the one with him and his dog.

EVH may have had a great impact, but, you cant hear acoustic guitars in any type or metal WITHOUT thinking of what Randy started with Dee.

Like SRV, Randy NEVER got the chance to fulfill his potential, and as someone who has tried to play guitar in the past, you cant help but think of the sheer impact he WOULDVE had on modern guitar playing, look at the impact he HAD, i know its never good to say "What If..." but, man, Randy, such a loss to music.

Thanks for reminding me about the Profile Access thing. You should be able to click on other peoples names now. As far as guitarists go, you named a lot of the good ones but I'll tell you right now the best shredder in the world is Buckethead. Props to da bucket! Check him out.

I like the changes so far. It took a little effort to get registered but not having to type in my name and email address every time I want to post is really nice. Also the quicklink categories are a really nice touch. You should definitely keep the anonymous bastard thing because this is the best site out there so if you don't want to take the time to register, who gives a sh*t who u r?

Could use more Swift and Bell though. And it's not like anyone paid me off to say nice things but if you'll excuse me, my stack of gold bars fell over again. =)

All right, testing. The whole making-people-register thing makes sense from a permission marketing perspective, but I agree with the anonymous user who gets annoyed at all the usernames and passwords. Even if you used the same one for everything, it would get annoying to have to log in everywhere and every time you wanted to just comment. They're called comments because they're supposed to be casual and spontaneous, darn it.

Maximum comments should be 300 per page.
I don't like having to go to page 2 etc.

Make the 'input format' choice persistent(!) Ex. right now one has to select 'filtered' each time one posts.

Make the background colors for posts the same they were before (shaded).
In white, it makes it harder to read, and doesn't look as kewl.

And keep the 'anonymous bastard' thing - makes it easy to just not read something not posted by a blue-named member (spam etc).

Oh and Free Bai Ling!

For the people still having trouble registering, I would suggest that you keep trying. I tried to register on Friday but the email never came. I tried to register again later on Friday but it said my email and username were already taken. I tried registering again on Saturday and the email came pretty much instantaneously without any mention of the username or email (I didn't change either one from the day before) being taken.

speed is good. loads faster.

and the comment things should be on one page, so put it at the max, if its 300, its 300, ive been here a while and i dont think ive seen TOO many threads over 300 posts. there is SOME, but, it looks like the max average is what? around 130-140?

everything else seems good since you added the search bar on the main page..

id still like to click on a name and go RIGHT to a link as opposed to a profile, but, eh, whats it? 1 extra click?

its no big thing honestly, not something thats a "Major" issue.

plus i like the addition of a click to page thing as well.

PS....how about a BLOTD link on the main page too? its your most unique feature, and it was cool that it was on the front page you could just click it and it went backwards from the newest one.

So, all names are being taken now & the field where you enter your site address will soon disappear. The main catch when you don't join is the fact that your comments will be moderated (until we figure out a solution to our main spam worries).
