I don't believe in twitter Yeah, I don't really believe in twitter, but I'll probably update this more often than the site. Here you are. What's good right now? Is FV dead? That's the question on everybody's mind. Well, if that question is on everybody's mind, then the answer is no. But unfortunately, I cannot accurately determine mindshare, as my mind reading device is offline, and won't be fixed until 2012.  I will admit, I've neglected this site. I've stopped my rather stupid ramblings, and even closed the gripe corner for almost a year. And, yes, that killed discussion. But did it kill FV? The answer- probably not. I'm reading just as many hits in my logs as usual. In fact, according to my stats, some people still check the site regularly. Couldn't tell you why. I suppose I won't let it die. Just a time for re-invention. A time to move foward. There was a lot of bitterness, as I closed up the gripe last time around. Cherrybomb hated me, every conversation would turn to crap, ex-friends decided to declare their ex-friendmanship on my site, and hot babes were emailing me regularly. Although, one would normally have to take the good with the bad, I was busy enough with my own life that I just didn't care. A re-envisioning was due, and it started with a flush. So, let's get it all in the open now. You are thinking to yourself, what's the point- if nobody's reading this? Well, I assure you that since you're currently reading this, this couldn't be entirely true. It's time for change. Not sure what, but change must happen. I'm bored of pointless rants and mindless dribble. The expectation that only crap comes out of this site is the reason this site attracts such crap, a self-fullfilling prophecy, unfortunately. Bingo-fanatics be damned, FV has never been and never can be killed. Eventually, everybody takes a peek, to see what's happened to everybody. While people have clearly gone their own ways, there is a tie- a bond, if you will, which brings us all back. You can hate me. You can hate the ville. But you can't escape this inevitability. Sometimes, you just need something or somebody to hate. A scapegoat. Sometimes you need a common enemy. Well, the good people of Fredrickville need a hero. And fredrickville is that hero. Not a knight in shining armor, but instead, a common entity which is hated by all. What will happen? I'm not sure. You tell me. I can assure you this- FV cannot and will not die. It will just keep on keeping on. In the mean time, I will tell you what's good. The Stills. They're still good. Even better, actually.  Disappeared without a beard...  Check link details if curious. Can I remove Yahoo Answers from my Google results? If there's one question I've asked myself multiple times while browsing the net, it's this.  If anybody, like me, has used a web search engine in the past few years, you've probably noticed a cancer-like growth coming from Yahoo. It's Yahoo's version of kicking and screaming as they slowly slip into obscurity. And it's really damn annoying. A new trend started a few years back, where almost every google search returned a wikipedia result at the top. And everybody was overjoyed that such a resource was, in internet terms, a-plenty. (no matter how accurate it was, or wasn't) But then, to fill a gap that wikipedia didn't quite fill, Yahoo Answers came to save the day- to answer those questions that an encylopedia just couldn't handle. Questions about love, science, STDs, health, you name it. And never has there been a site so absolutely dedicated to being useless and full of crap. (I thought Fredrickville was a sure winner) Every single answer on the site was clearly written by a 13 year old wit no speling ibilitys. Sumthing we thot wud stay on aim, but it crossed the brige to the interewbs and its spoiling my internets. And are they good answers? No! They're horrible. The idea was that bad answers would be voted down, and the good ones would sift to the top. But not a single Yahoo answer has even the slightest bit of information that could be mistaken for a peice of useful information. Yet they keep cropping up in every web search I make. Like I want it or something. I'm trying to RESEARCH SOMETHING HERE! Stop getting in my way! Is this too much food? Do I have strep? Is Spiderman Real? Now to remove these from your search results? Well, as far as I can tell, if you log into google with your gmail account, you can leave comments, rank search results, and remove search results from your personal google-view. But As far as I can tell, it only changes that results quality based on the actual search term you used, not for all searches for eternity. None-the-less, I will continue to down-mod anyhow. |
