Jamie here.
So, today it has fallen to me to fill in this dandy little space. Murph has been tied up… with work. His <em> real work</em> has undergone some changes, so he has had to take on more work during the transition, which has made him very, very cranky. I swear, I have nothing to do with it. I won’t, until he discovers the <a href=”http://meninhats.com/”>barrel ‘o crabs</a> I’ve had delivered to his bedroom.
I’ve been sitting here for about an hour trying to figure out what on earth I might be able to postulate, pontificate or even remark on wittily (is that a word?) about. I’ve been coming up with just about zilch. I was going to write something about <a href=”http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/18/fashion/18difficult.html?em&ex=1169355600&en=f631bf18e16641cb&ei=5087%0A”>terrible bosses</a>, or maybe something about <a href=”http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=shart”>sharting</a> – but my arms hurt, and I’m lazy. And then I remembered what I’d really like to say to you readers out there. Something of grave importance – something that’s really been bringing me down, making me wonder if what I do here, what <em> we </em> do here is worth it.
Healthcare and Social Benefits for <a href=”http://www.newsoftheweird.com/archive/index.html”>Robots</a>.
I’m kidding. What I really wanted to talk to the lot of you about is interacting with us a little more. We don’t want to be up on a podium here, shouting out our opinion and placing our four panels in front of you to gloat about our superiority. Part of our grandeur is that we don’t do that. We want to interact with you, the little people, and hear what you have to think. <a href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg”>In the world of web 2.0, what you think is important.</a>
Are we funny? Do you have suggestions for us? Which comics tickle you? what do you want to see more of? are you salivating for more characters? Do you want more added to the site? We <em>need</em> to hear from <strong> you </strong> the readers – not only because of our own desperate need to belong, and debilitating need for approval, respectively. But because that’s how these things evolve. We have plans of course, there are literally dozens of story lines coming up, but how we approach them could be altered based on your feedback. Unlikely, but maybe.
I’ve begun to wonder if our requirement to register is putting people off from interacting with the community, with interacting with us. According to the stats, we’re getting a pretty big number of people coming, and yet there are less than a handful of people out there singing our praises. We know you’re out there. I can see you. I want to meet you too – because I’m a big fan of all of you. Every person that reads this is an integral part of the No Reason team – because if there’s no one reading it, there’s almost no point in making it. So let me again assure you – registration isn’t going to put you in spammers sightlines, or are we going to sell your information. The registration is simply a security tool, so that we can keep the spammers out.
If enough of you are coming here regularly, there’s an increasing ability to give more to you. So let us know.
Do you like stuff?
Going to take a nap,
Jamie.
