How cute. The only comment you’ve received (besides mine) is a spambot that nobody bothered to remove. I hope that whoever you hire(d) understands that spambots don’t belong here.
Why don’t you hire someone to fix all the stuff around here that doesn’t work? You know… the stuff that hasn’t worked for YEARS. All the traffic on the internet isn’t going to help if the site doesn’t function properly.
Just let them die a slow death.
No kidding there! Yet legit comments are either ignored or still awaiting moderation approval.
How about hiring a webmaster? One that can actually fix this site? I haven’t been able to reply to my cheezfriends for months now, plus unable to submit any LOLs, videos, etc… without getting the message, “Something Bad Happened”. The usual cookie cutter response is to clear cache, cookies, etc… which has NEVER worked, so instead of blaming our computers and browsers, how about taking responsibility and fix the site?
Why am I not surprised that being able to spell correctly isn’t one of the requirements?

WHY NOT?
This blog is dead.
On May 9, 2016 I made a comment with a harmless link in it. It’s still awaiting moderation.
Do you hire any people outside of the US?
