February 2009 site news & notes
By Zach Arnold | February 8, 2009
Just wanted to do some housecleaning and keep everyone up-to-date on what is happening with the site.
First, I wanted to remark on the stability of the new server that we have been hosted on for the past few months. Amazing, isn’t it? Downtime is exceptionally minimal, even if the price tag for hosting costs more. If you would like to help us out with server posts, feel free to make a donation by clicking right here. Thank you.
Second, I want to get more of our readers signed up to our MySpace account. I know, many of you use Facebook, but for those of you who use MySpace and haven’t added us as your friend, go add us as your friend. I would like to build the account up with a few thousand friends relatively soon. I will update the blog section of the account as well when I get the chance.
Third, I am starting up a mailing list for the web site. I’ve been meaning to get around to doing this for a while. I want to build this list up pretty quickly and, in a perfect world, get a couple of thousand subscribers. Content-wise, I will try to send some mails out featuring media prep. (think: news/article linkes) and writers to keep an eye on. Consider it as your possible addendum with normal Fight Opinion reading (on the site or using our RSS feed). Please feel free to subscribe to our mailing by joining up right here:
Subscribe: fightopinion-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
My guess is that you just use the word ’subscribe’ in both the title and/or e-mail message to this and it will set you up with the mailing list.
Subscribe: fightopinion-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
If you have trouble subscribing to the list (check your e-mail spam folder, first), use the contact form with the e-mail address you want me to send a mailing list invite to. Hopefully there won’t be too many problems. I promise that this e-mail list won’t spam your account with 10 mails a day. I am not sure why, but the mailing list is having trouble with responses from Hotmail accounts. Yahoo, GMail, normal ISP, etc. should work fine, however.
Fourth, I wanted to give a quick thanks to Ivan, Tim, and the rest of the site readers. I am really happy with some of the friends that I have made over the last few years since this site was launched on Christmas of 2005. I realize that there’s a lot of room for the site to grow, but I never could have envisioned the impact that we would have had over the last three-plus years. I attibute the success of the site to our readers and to everyone who has helped me out over the years (from Rob Sayers to Erin Bucknell to Jeff Thaler to Caleb Queern to Dr. J to Brandt DeLorenzo to countless others). Without so many people helping me out here, we wouldn’t be in the position that we are today.
