Been taking a few risks with the site lately. Shifting focus. Trying to see what clicks. Basically trying to take it back old school really. I think Stal’s post helped out quite a lot. Seeing as to how she’s always been part of the site since 2001. With her recent reemergence, she’s brought with her some newfound life to the site along with her long missed presence. Not to say that the site was all but dead before. All you have to do is just go back about two weeks to see some excellently controversial posts from Amy and Lyndse. You know, i don’t think i say it enough but all your contributions to this site are very much appreciated. Your posts, your comments, from both the readers and posters, are pretty much what makes this site. Because it sure as hell isn’t coming from my posts. I just provide the neighborhood. And a neighborhood is nothing without a good community. So thank you all for making this site better than it should be.
Or subjectively, depending on your view of how things are right now, worse than it should ever be 😛
Speaking of 2001 and reviewing the site, i stumbled upon this post over at bears-cave.com which is essentially a review of this site… from 2001! What are the odds of that?
I’m going to reprint the post here because i think it’s a pretty good endorsement of this site as it was known back then (as badinagoodway.com). Let’s see how much things have changed since then:

What do the hit-monsters read?
I have a point to this post other than to link to two other sites, really… you just have to read awhile.
So I was messing around, trolling (in a fishing sense) through my favorite sites, and found my way over to badinagoodway. After I finished checking all the picture archives, I actually started reading the page. Contrary to the author’s claims, it’s pretty interesting stuff, or at least amusing.
Now, I don’t want to piss off anyone more than necessary, so I would say you probably don’t want to check this site out if a guy indulging in guy-things offends you. If you think the concept behind the Man Show is a crime against humanity — this is not your site. (Unless you like nicely composed colors and webpage layouts — it’s worth a peek if you’re into that.)
But, speaking directly to the Guys in the crowd, this is one of those sites you dream about finding. Seriously. Forget about me and go there — you might never come back here, ever, but that’s okay. I will comPLETEly understand.
On the face of it, it’s a basic E/N (everything/nothing), male (and I cannot emphasize “male” strongly enough) twenty-something site, except it’s visually appealing (most aren’t). It’s one of the bigger E/N’s out there, raking in something like 3 to 4 thousand hits per day.
Yeah. You read that right.
Whenever I want to pop the balloon that is my ego, I remind myself that teen-cam sites and private blog pages with lots of celeb pix on them get more hits in a day than my monthly count.
But there’s this funny thing I noticed — the guy’s link list.
He doesn’t have many. Fine. Neither do I. He’s got a pretty simple system for ranking these links — if you’re on the list, you’re someone he likes, and if you get some !!!’s beside your name, then you’re someone he really likes.
Spacecheese is on the “!!!” list. Cool. Yay, Gordon. Anyway, I started to check out other people on the list…
Crap, crap, crap, hmm — interesting reading, crap, crap, interesting reading, crap.
The interesting sites were what I would call ‘typical’ blogs, pretty good ones — and they comprise the entire “!!!” list. Everything else was (forgive the review) badly arranged, poorly-written stuff with some fuzzy webcam shots (i.e.: the crap that makes me wonder why e/n sites are popular).
So, here’s my little Saturday Discovery: what do the hit-monsters really like to check out, when they are checking stuff out? Apparently, sites like Spacecheese — a place where the owner is writing about his life, and writing well.
Sometimes (once in a great while), that translates to “sites like me”. So, you get your 3000, 4000, 9000 hits a day, and then come over and find out what happened to me (or someone like me) on our piddling little blog.
I’ve thought about it. I like that.
Go check it out; it’s fun. Then go read Gordon, or Dave, or … well, even me, if you like.
It’s okay: the cool kids do it.

Sites i’d give !!!’s to if i still used that system:
So what else has changed? Apparently not much. Aside from me not using the old !!! links format, and the long gone naked celeb gallery, the site still gets about 3000 hits a day, more or less. Yesterday i got over 4000. So that aspect hasn’t really changed.
If i could, i’d put the whole gallery back up but that would probably cause this to happen again.
Anyhow, i have anticipated the fact that some of you probably won’t even read this post so here are some pictures of a (just turned) 15 year old girl in a pair of ridiculously low cut jeans.
If you click on any of these, you are a pedophile.
