• Check out my (funny?) website?
    39 replies, posted
Hello all, I have decided to come back to Facepunch. You may have known me from before as KlaDOS9. I changed my username because the old one is lame. Anyway, I have been working on a website that catalogs and archives funny Yahoo! Answers (or 'babbies' as I affectionately call them.) I have babbies that are trolls and ones that are completely serious, ranging from 'How can I keep my kid from eating poop out of the litter box?" to "How can I make my truck into a batmobile?" Truly, Yahoo! Answers is a comedy haven. I run the technical side of the site and post babbies, and my brother posts babbies (he finds some of crazy ones, for instance "How can I remove my epic poop from the toilet to show off to people?") Without further ado, here is the link: [url]http://babbies.org/[/url] Constructive criticism is welcome, but I will be even more grateful if you would subscribe via RSS or Twitter. And please rate using the star system!
Cool, thats some funny stuff :D.
You should use a better name reflecting your content in this case something with yahoo ,answers or funny/lol or whatever Ow also you can copy paste all the 51 pages of yahoo answers screencaps from [url]http://www.yahoolaughs.com/[/url]

And I don't want to go about stealing other peoples' finds.
I like the idea, and it could probably get pretty big in a couple or weeks or so. No complaints or anything at the moment, only thing that kind of bothers me is that it looks like something you could get for free, the web design that is.

That's awesome! :D Added to my bookmarks.
[QUOTE=paul simon;18891165]That's awesome! :D Added to my bookmarks.[/QUOTE] Thanks! Any suggestions?
Nvm you changed theme
[QUOTE=johanz;18891225]Nvm you changed theme[/QUOTE] What? I changed it back.

[QUOTE=Itacious;18891194]Thanks! Any suggestions?[/QUOTE] Give trusted users the ability to add questions/answers. Also, a simple forum system.
Make the "How is babby formed" question your logo?
Ohwait, you can add images? D: Bad reading..
[QUOTE=paul simon;18891447]Give trusted users the ability to add questions/answers. Also, a simple forum system.[/QUOTE] Well, you can submit a post, but that's an interesting idea. Something like failblog has, I suppose. I made a forum at forum.babbies.org and tied a special forum to posts so that people would comment on the babby using the forum. But I felt that it was to early to have a forum, along with complicating things. But I will reconsider.
Oh you have a forum too? You goddamn ninja...
[QUOTE=paul simon;18891595]Oh you have a forum too? You goddamn ninja... Even though it doesn't work..[/QUOTE] lol, I got rid of it, like I said I thought it was too early and too complicated. But if it's an in-demand feature, then... [editline]04:27PM[/editline] Brace yourself, I'm changing the theme.
The "gallery" theme is awful and won't fit.
[QUOTE=johanz;18891754]The "gallery" theme is awful and won't fit.[/QUOTE] Ok, I fixed it somewhat. What do you think?
[QUOTE=Itacious;18891251] What do you think about a theme like this? [url]http://richwp.com/preview/rich-magazine/[/url][/QUOTE] Other colours perhaps to fit with the yahoo theme. But it looks better :)
[QUOTE=Gregah;18892127]Other colours perhaps to fit with the yahoo theme. But it looks better :)[/QUOTE] What do you think of the current theme? (still working on it)
[QUOTE=Itacious;18890867]And I don't want to go about stealing other peoples' finds.[/QUOTE] Aww, I see you're not as lazy as me =)
Nice site!
[QUOTE=Itacious;18892214]What do you think of the current theme? (still working on it)[/QUOTE] looks good, but rather empty when it's only white colour. Maybe add some green gradient (like with yahoo) in the box where the links are to the original questions?

[QUOTE=Itacious;18894705]What about now? I'm not sure about those stripes.[/QUOTE] Better, you should probably do outlines to the Babbies.org header though. I think you should add the FAQ, forum, submit a babby and the reader counter to the right bar with categories etc.

I took the idea from the cheezburger network. [editline]06:25PM[/editline] Gregah, can you pm me your AIM? I have to go eat dinner now. Thanks.
Why is background text? It's not good. First thing I noticed when I came to site is texted background, and that's a bad thing.

Don't have AIM, sorry.
Jesus christ i laughed so hard at the parakeet diahreah one hahaha
