Back to the Future!... of Star Wars Blogging

Click here for a proper introduction

_________________________________

If you haven't seen Back to the Future for some reason... Go see it. It's fun.
_________________________________

*Snap* *Snap* *Pow*

Rive - "You've got to come back with me!"
Reader - "Back... Where?"
Rive - "Back to the future!"
Reader - "Wait a minute, what are you doin' Rive?"
Rive - Busily writing up a more exciting tag line to draw clickers - "I need comments!"
Rive - Finishes changing his entry title to "Purple Saber... Or Purple Menace: The Truth of Darth Windu" - "Go ahead, get in the car-wing!"
Reader - "No no no, Rive, I just got here okay? My friend's here; we're gonna read some VIP entries."
Rive - "Well bring them along, this concerns them too."
Reader - "Wait a minute Rive. What happens to us in the future? What do we become two-line bloggers or something?"
Rive - "No no no, you and the Pitiful Little Band of bloggers turn out fine; It's the contests. Something's got to be done about the contests!"
________________________________________________________________________

Using the Delorean Gull-Wing fighter Rive whisks you off to early 2007.

Things of immediate note are...

● There's still no spell check.
● The most popular entry is "Why are Ewoks short?"
● There's been a total of 3 new blog images added.
● Darth Vicomte's second annual blog award show was ridiculed for not giving more nominations to Episode III... Er...
● Rive Caedo no longer posts new entries due to having run out of space and being unable to delete his old ones due to sentimental value
● Serenity 2 was released as a direct-to-DVD feature and became the highest grossing film of all time due to cascade of events that shocked the globe.
● There's still no news about Star Wars TV.

and...

● The second contest to become fan club president has just begun. The current fan club president is brushed under the rug without fan-fare
________________________________________________________________________
I've noticed a few entries with people saying something along the lines of "Thank the Lords of Kobol that this contest is over May 15th!"

... But as long as Lucas Co. is making upwards of 5000+ dollars from this... They'll probably keep running it. Year after year after year.

That's year after year after year of a third of the year (4 months) being welcomed with...

"Re-elect President Whatshisname!"
"I also will waste space telling you to elect whatshisname again!"
"Whatshisname was a terrible president! Elect me me me!"
"I'm under 18, but I'm running anyway! I'm sure they'll let it slide if I win!"
"Mac Windo was the coolist Jedi evars! If yu agree vote 4 me!"

etc. etc. etc.

There really needs to be a policy implemented against these kinds of entries especially if that's the user's only entries (IE: dustin@rebelscum.com, uscwannabe)... Or this will get really annoying... Really fast.

For a third of the year. Every year.

This has been a rambling, alarmist, downtrodden message brought to you by the Rive Caedo foundation to protect divider line habitats.

You may now return to your normal timeline.

date Posted: Apr 06, 2006 9:17 PM I'm sorry rive, the audio on my computer is'nt working, so I couldn't listen to that thing you had at the beginng of this blog. Lol, that fake conversation was so funny, it mad e my eyes explode with delight. I don't know what I'm saying! I have never seen 'Back to the Future', but I will someday. How do I do that cool divinder line any way.

�? Rive Caedo no longer posts new entries do to having run out of space and being unable to delete his old ones due to sentimental value

You know you bring up a good point about this. Why the hell do VIP's get more space than Hyperspace members? After all we are the one's paying the pay checks around here! Think I will do a blog about that

Thanks for the idea Rive and funny blog.

Yeah. Then again, I get annoyed with real life political campaigning. The more I hear a president nominee or Senator nominee or governer nominee's name, the less likely I am to vote for his or her annoying highness.

by the by Bai, the line thing is simple, hold shift, press the minus (-) key many times (though I think they're using the bold function with it) and draw the line across.

I'm actually not sure if we do... Maybe they need to delete old entries too?
And thanks for quoting the fact I somehow used "do" for "due".... D'oh!

Jack Thompson, Jack Thompson, Jack Thompson. I don't think he'd ever run. I'm just making sure though

The introduction and dialogue were hilarious!
Thanks for the laugh!

Still not as good as your BTTF entry though

date Posted: Apr 06, 2006 10:11 PM Great blog! There really needs to be a policy implemented against these kinds of entries especially if that's the user's only entries Y'know, that's a really good point... if any of the candidates actually blogged about something other than the election -- perhaps even on a regular basis -- it might swing more than a few votes.

Oh stop it!

--------

I was thinking about the blog space. We know that when we delete a blog it is sent to our email so we can keep it and make space for new entries right? But what about the comments? Those are truly lost forever which is just sad. And wrong. I don't know about you guys but I think comments are an integral part of the blog, sometimes they make the blog what it is (like the BTTF one you mentioned). There should be a way to preserve the blog and its comments. Oh yeah right....increasing server space for each blogger

. Rumor has it there are some upgrades coming, lets hope more space is one of them.

Did not even notice it buddy. I was too busy being ticked off about your space dilemma. BTW, I can't stand all of this campaign stuff either. Driving me bunkers!!!

Thanks for the info Vader, honey (teehee). I did not know this. But we the members still have limited space as compared to the VIPs. I remember reading that in the Blog rules. It is a real small blurb, but the VIPs get more storage space then Hyperspace members.

Hence the VIP hun...

I've screwed it up once or twice so I deleted the entries and a copy was sent to my email. But I'm sure I've read about that in the blog FAQ or Blog Feedback forum.

Oh yeah. Found it:

4. What's a blog quota and why should I care?

I'm not sure about comments, but since it's not mentioned AND comments don't take up blog space I guess they're not saved or sent to you.

	Darth Rex0 So be it....

I wonder what kind of person would stoop to that level. Vote Rex. I mean, c'mon, the comments are for comments (click here) not to advertise (vote Rex) your political intentions. Click here. What a sham.

Have you considered the option of cloning yourself and starting your own multiblog

The current fan club president is brushed under the rug without fan-fare

Who... wha?

Totals. They need to be sectioned off somewhere so we can ignore them more easily... that is except the funny mock-campaign entries

The administrators will never allow the use of clones before the Separatists attack! The current fan club president is brushed under the rug without fan-fare Who... wha? Meaning that it doesn't matter who's "elected" because they have no real power.
