Phase 3 is obviously 'PROFIT' but we aren't there yet :)
It's been a long time since something has put this kind of a smile on my face the way the goings on of bashtard.com have done in these passed two month. We all know about my shameless advertising, but it finally appears to have paid off.
It's been about a year now... maybe more.. I don't remember really, since the pile first started with a few cheesy pics and no real comment system in place. The entire time my goal was to create a site that only dealt with quality and was willing to go without the quantity. Therefore, when I visit other picture sites, they don't have the same attraction because they have all the shit that either gets deleted from bashtard.com or isn't even considered for the pile.
Also, I can't help but be amazed at the number of users signing up every day, when before I'd wait months for a new signup. It took all of 2003 to get 37 new users, when just this month alone I've got 20.
Hell, I look at the log file every day (like a loser) and see that it is now consistently over 1MB and almost regularly over 2MB. That's alotta dimp! ...and the STATS.... woah boy the STATS

...and minus those two days of stupidity
*All statistics are confidential and shall not be disclosed to the public*
There are some people I'd like to thank for the happenings in 2003.
First off, Jesus... if it wasn't for him doing whatever he did, than this might not have happened.. so soon.
Second, Grimm for his tireless efforts in building the structure of the site and for getting rid of the ? in the URI... oh wait a sec... :)
Third, Jacky that jackaz and .myc for Admin'in the hell out of the site and filtering out all the things that I thought were funny and deleting almost all of my uploads :)
Fourth, did I mention Jesus?
Phase 2...
Phase 2 is being done to serve our customers better. *gag*
This includes more control by myself to administer the site the way I want to. So when your asses get outta line... BAM (no idea what that means). Actually, it just lets me progress at the pace to which I desire.
As soon as I can get it up... a server that is, dev.bashtard.com will be going online and we will be dabbling with a little thing the experts call 'php5'. That is unless the assholes building php5 decide to completely change it yet again.
But expect a working search function and other useless crap that will make me say "awww" every time I look at the pile.
Then when Google decides to actually index my site properly, WATCH OUT!!
Phase 3
woah... slow down there cowboy
