Status of the Site 10/05/08

Hello all,
This update will not be as long as I hoped since I feel like shit today, but anyway, here I go.
Login Issues:
I am aware of the problem and have actually had it happen to me a few times.
For those of you who haven't had the issue, this is what it is. You login
and either never have the login accepted or you are logged in on one page, but
are logged out on another.
I plan to have the issue fixed by Monday morning.. hopefully.
Forums:
I've been getting a lot of emails on this, so here is the answer before the FAQ goes up. You need to create an account on the main site to use the forums, and then wait till I manually sync the databases up for it to work. There is no registration on the forums as the site login takes care of everything. The issues going on with the dual logins may be fixed finally by the end of next week.
Comment Banning:
Is well underway. Once again, directly flaming another user or video creator will cause you comment posting ability to be lost. Complaining about Blip will cause you comment posting ability to be lost. Why? Myself and others are sick of seeing the comment threads being clogged with useless post that not only provide no insight, but are also annoying. If you have an issue with a person or video, provide constructive criticism (IE reasons why you have an issue), that way you are actually adding something to the thread. Having issues with Blip? Send me an email or post on the forums. Be sure to include info like: Internet Connection Speed, Browser (+ any plugin(s) you are using), ammount of RAM and the type of Processor in the computer, where you are from, and what else is running when you are viewing the videos. This info will help me figure out how to help you; if I can.
Comments/Blogs:
Both components should have a small update tomorrow, nothing new will be added; just some bug fixes.
Best of the Blogs (BOB):
Coldguy and Rollo T will be moved to the Articles area shortly, and as a result, I will begin picking the Best Blogs out and posting them in the BOB section, if you are selected you may get an email or private message from me stating that you may become a featured writer/video producer on this site.
Fan Upload Area:
Late next week, I plan to not only update the component, but also begin grabbing the good content in there and posting it on the site. Sorry about the extreme delay in doing so!
Revver Videos:
Most of the new videos that are not on Revver now, should be up by Monday night.
That's about it for now, hopefully this cold gets out of me before Monday, as I plan on taking a short 3 day vacation up to Wisconsin to relax for a bit (this 90 hour a week working shit has been kicking my ass lately!)
