Jewlicious is undergoing some renovation. We’ll be back full strength soon! One of the things being considered is requiring registration in order for people to comment. This will allow you to go back and edit your comments, prevent people from commenting under someone else’s alias and save us from the evil of comment spam which at over 5000 spams a day is really begining to be a pain in the ass. I am certain you’d prefer we spend more time writing comments rather than fighting spam, right? Please let us know what you think though.

Take your time…and register people if necessary. But if my favorite sarcastic/caustic Jewish culture website isn’t up by tomorrow…heads will roll ;o)

So if we register, we won’t have to wait hours for our VERY CLEAN comments with spam-block words to show up?
NICE!!!

I dunno. Have we done market research about this? How will Sven post his “hail Hitler” comment? Will Jewish Mother know how to register? I’m a little worried about this…

Don’t worry, TM. ck will take care of everything. At the end of the day, as long as we’re still #1 for Jewish vibrators, everything’s kosher.
[There's something so wrong about that sentence.]

Oh, Esther, we are #1 in so many categories that it boggles the mind.

By the way, ck, I tried to call you yesterday just to say hello and one line is no longer active, and the other line (the toll free one) had the guy at the other end tell me he didn’t have a phone number for you. No big deal, it was just a hello call, but thought you should know.

what exactly is comment spam? when people advertise something completely unrelated through comments? i don’t remember seeing to much of this on jewlicious comments… you are telling me that you have to sort through literally 5000 of these per day? where exactly do you find the time to filter aforementioned 5000 daily?

I don’t know about you guys, but is anyone else getting REALLY ANTSY AT THIS POINT???? Like, somehow, the NEED TO BLOG and be BLOGGED welling up inside? Something like wanting physical touch, but MUCH MORE INTENSE? I mean, I’ve gotta know: Where is Esther, what will she do today? Will Shtreimel hurt someone physically for lack of an outlet, and will Chutzpah, well, let’s just leave Chutzpah out of this for the time being…she’s REALLY WHACKED, as in Wooaaahhh Nellly!
Cold sweat. Wondering, waiting. Waiting for the chance to be heard…again. To be listened to. Mocked, even. But to MATTER somehow in the universe….
Or, I could just go get sushi for lunch!

Wouldn’t it be ironic if there was commet spam in a post about fighting comment spam?
Eh, well. We all must fight the war against spam. Spamalicious post!

About the fonts,
overall nice and clearer now, but my only reservation (so far) is that the word ‘laya’ seems so cold and formal now. Beforehand, with the italics, it was more, ah, I dunno, ‘soothing’, flowing, warm.

Mike: I’m an attention whore, what can I say? I’ll change that header soon enough, sorry to oppress you with my pugg.
chazarmaveth: comment spam is when folks put ads to their Web sites in the comments section. These ads are for Phrmaceuticals, Gambling Web sites, Porn etc. and have nothing to do with the underlying post. You don’t see them because me and the crew are vigilant about killing them and intercepting them before they can be seen. But once intercepted they do have to be deleted and the sheer numbers involved makes this a very onerous task. Forcing folks to register will make it a tad harder for these guys to get through and will allow commenters to re-edit their comments etc. So… are we good? Can I start requiring registration or will y’all get mad at me?

OOOOH, CK. You naughty, little, gr8 cheekbone-havin’ SOB!!! I think somebody has a crush on you, dude. And I mean besides me… ’cause that’s been known for years. But, Jess, on the other hand might be a good shudduch. She British and Persian. Cool combo. Rock on with your Sefardi bad self.

If people can edit their comments, then responses to said comments become unintelligible, no? Or is that the case already, so it won’t make a difference?
themiddle
5/19/2005
ck, I think it depends upon the registration process. Moby’s comments system seems to work pretty well and might make it simpler than somebody actually having to register.
themiddle
5/19/2005
By the way, there needs to be a system where we see the number of comments, because it does simplify knowing when somebody added. Also, it would be great if instead of tracking only the last 5 comments, you could track the last ten. Also, I have no opposition to seeing your pic all day long, but some variety with attractive members of the opposite sex provide a nice, um, balance.
esther
5/19/2005
What TM said about the comments–I just don’t want to have to retype my name, email address, and website every time I want to leave a comment.
As to photos, you are the founder (or one of the founders) and since you live in another country, I otherwise don’t get to see you that often, so I like seeing you up there (you big galoot). But the request for variety is fair…maybe you have some nice pictures of Jewish chicks who don’t have shadows looming over their faces.

I think you should stop ignoring my emails and let me know what the deal is with my t-shirt yo! Other than that, registration sounds great!

if you are still using WordPress it does have some new excellent spam filters.
otherwise, you could move to MT.

Also, ck, what is the best way to reach you now?

There must be “most recent” posts on this site. JSIRPICCO HAS A FOLLOWING, DAMN IT! What’s the point of my NEAR PROPHETIC VISIONS if people can’t see them, immediately, without the hassle of “clicking through” other people’s boooorrrinng posts and pathetic lives?
Fix this immediately! Jsirpicco waits.

Good, Mobius, maybe you can convince him to go to something else. This is not the home I know and love.
esther
5/20/2005
TM, appearance is a shell, and home is not external. Read the posts, close your eyes and hear our voices. Are you home? Or is the heart, how you say, all dried up like tzimukim?
That said, a list of “last ten comments” would be stellar.
ck
5/20/2005
Moby: Jackin? No offense Moby but I don’t have any recollection of your original design, except I think it was aligned left or something. I can assure you that I don’t have like… a cachedd version of your original site which I kept all this time for jacking purposes …. besides, I’m not done yet!

By the way, is that BTW in blog-post-internet chat loshon?
I only was able to see these posts after I attemted, on blind hope, to enter coment. Then once I posted, I didn’t even see the further additions that flowed afterwards for the whole day, untill, after Shabat, I tried again to comment, more blind faith, and then the continuing coment started to reveal themselves. Is this part of some temporary construction here?
