01.01.08 by Widge @ 1:11 am  Chazz is absolutely right. The URL Needcoffee.com was first registered in 1998. It is now 2008. And even I, the English Major, know enough maths to figure out that's an excuse for a year-long party. (As if we need a lot of help with that--after all, we stretched out Halloween for over a month and Christmas for nearly a fortnight.) We have decreed that 2008 will be The Year of Kicking Ass, even if the only asses we kick wind up being our own. More details as we invent them. Back to your depressants and/or stimulants of choice. We just wanted to strike while the iron was hot, so to speak. We'll try and have some hangover-friendly content up shortly for when you come back to your senses. Happy new year, everybody. And happy freaking birthday to us. Siege is going to light ten random things on fire, Dindrane will rush in with the fire extinguisher, and then we'll all make a wish. Categorized as: Admin

12.31.07 by Widge @ 7:55 am  Jesus Christ, it's been a big year. We've laid the foundation for some stuff that will hopefully start paying off in 2008. Expect to see announcements about that very soon. We've made some huge changes. We launched two new sites, The Daily Kicksplode and Colors Are Overrated. One caters to the lovers of mindless violence and being punched in the nose and the other is for people who have an appreciation of the color black. Do give them a peek, would you? Also, we've moved Needcoffee to its own server. This is a huge step because now we can have control over everything and run whatever we want on the site without fear of bogging down our 1/1345th of a server we were on previously. So we've tried to add some functionality to things and bring back features (like comments) that had gone the way of all flesh because we simply didn't have the horsepower previously. As always, I appreciate any feedback on these crazy things that we're doing and even if I don't respond personally (because my inbox hovers at around 4000 e-mails on any given day) I do read every e-mail I get and anything constructive is duly noted. And just for the record, I know you probably think what I think when you hear somebody say that they read every e-mail ("Yeah, right") but honest. No shit. I do. Why do you think I always look so frigging tired? Anyway, as I said, 2007 was laying the groundwork for some other stuff. 2008 will be even better. Seriously, thanks to everybody who helped make this a great (or at least survivable) year for Needcoffee. Thanks to everyone who supported us by buying stuff through the site and thanks to everybody who linked us from their own sites. Both actions are not only helpful but prove you to be people operating from a wealth of intelligence, not to mention good taste. I don't know where all of you maniacs come from, but I'm glad you're here and I have no idea why we haven't scared you away yet. We promise to be even more frightening in the new year. And now, let's take a look at the year that was. Starting with the Most Popular Non-Contest Posts of Each Month. Categorized as: Admin

12.16.07 by Widge @ 8:37 am  *deep breath* Comments are back on all over the site. I mean all over. At least the Wordpress portion of the site, anyway. I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everybody about our Comment Policy, since I know it's been a while. Thanks for everyone's patience while we got this (hopefully) sorted. Now let's have some fruitful interaction, shall we? Categorized as: Admin

12.14.07 by Widge @ 1:54 am ...off the outage bong for a few minutes earlier this evening. Entirely my fault. I yanked on something I shouldn't have. If you'd like to go laugh at me, I wrote the whole experience up over here. Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be webmasters. Categorized as: Admin
