Site Update And Stuff
November 18, 2008 by Morbid
Just in case anyone has actually noticed, YES the news articles are coming in slow at the moment. But before any of you haters start rejoicing, this does not mean we are slacking, truth be told, we have been seeing a mistress. We will be opening up a second site shortly. This has kept me, and everyone else here at D’D, kinda busy.
So, in the next couple of weeks we will make an official announcement, if some of you have not found it already. But until then, bare with us as we try to get one off the ground while still keeping this one going at the same time. The other site is crime based, but not true crime. Meaning, nothing has changed here. We will all be back in full force, much to the dismay of many out there, in short order.
In fact, it seems as if I may have actually *gasp* LEARNED a thing or two after running this site for the last few years. D’D will be getting a nice overhaul in the next month or two. CleanerCleaner reviews
, faster, less bloated is what is in store. Content and attitude will remain intact.
Thanks for sticking around, and I think a lot of you will really dig what we have cooked up with the other site. If you have any questions about these details, feel free to ask.
Update 11-21-2008:
Ok, the new site is not officially open, but we are testing out server loads. So feel free to take a look at it in its current state over at CrimeCritics.com. While some of you may not have any use for it, it is a site dedicated to crime fiction in books, tv and film. Most of the content will be provided by other true crime bloggers, some you are already familiar with. Still work to do, so excuse the mess, but we would like to see how we do with actual traffic and see if this bitch is gonna suck more money out of my pocket. 
Speaking of money. We are goofing with different ways to serve ads on this site. We us Ad-Brite. They are ranked one of the largest ad servicess right under Google Adsense (who wont touch us with a 100 foot pole). The banner ads don’t do us much good as the banners that generate the most revenue seem to be the ones that cause pop-ups for users. So, we turned on the full-page ad. It’s the one you may be used to on other sites…it comes up and you have the ability to skip the ad and continue on your merry way. If that option works well (and it is doing better than the banners) we will remove ALL banners from the site (but keep the Amazon ads in the forums) If, INSERT DIETY willing, crimecritics generates the revenue we are hoping for, we will remove every ad from D’D. So, again, give us some time to get that all situated and I apologize that it has to be done at all. It is a necessary evil.
In any event, D’D is getting an overhaul in January, some changes will start immediately. We want to trim the fat and get the site running a bit faster and be less…clunky. We will also be revamping are Cafepress line-up and even offering some other merchandise for both sites in the very near future. Well, that’s it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and hey…you have a wonderful fucking day, ok?

A second site? I’ll need more lives, and hands, in order to keep pace.
1:33 pm on November 18th, 2008
I agree. Completely. I’m barely figuring out some other stuff and now you’re gonna hit me with a new site. I wonder what it’s about.
1:36 pm on November 18th, 2008
The new site, if all goes as planned, will help us in removing all ads from this site. It’s more advertiser friendly and is being created in collaboration with other true crime bloggers.
1:38 pm on November 18th, 2008
Sounds good!
1:56 pm on November 18th, 2008
BTW, Morbid, have you tried the Quaker Instant Cheese Grits? Has packets in 4 flavors (Cheddar Blend, 3-Cheese, and American). Not bad!
2:11 pm on November 18th, 2008
STOP RIGHT THERE!
Before we go any further do you love me?
Will you love me forever & do you need me?
Will you never leave me? & will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away?
Will you make me your wife?
I gotta know RIGHT NOW . . . before we go any further . . . do ya love me?
Will you love me forever?
(Tx in advance)
2:11 pm on November 18th, 2008
ooooo…a bunch of crime bloggers all in one place….wait, are they gonna be as candid as here, or more PC?
2:19 pm on November 18th, 2008
A bit more PC. This will not be a true crime based site, and dealing more with crime fiction.
2:21 pm on November 18th, 2008
Oh, and Auddie…if you give wake-up blowjobs, make a good lasagna and do anal, then the answer is “maybe” to all of your questions. Bonus if you can do them all at the same time.
2:21 pm on November 18th, 2008
Crime fiction? *ears perk up* Andrew Vacchs by any chance?????
2:24 pm on November 18th, 2008
And play video games and make cheese grits? I can do cheese grits, video games, and anal, if Auddie has the wake-up blowjobs and lasagna covered (with switcheroo on Tuesdays and Thursdays).
2:25 pm on November 18th, 2008
Did you hear that his final Burke novel is about to come out?
As for the new site, I’m casting about, trying to find someone to clone me for cheap. I can’t keep up now!
2:27 pm on November 18th, 2008
It IS?? Excellent, excellent. Vacchs is uneven, but I don’t care. Still love me some Vacchs, no matter what. I met him once after a book signing, but totally effed it up by approaching him on the eyepatch side and startling the hell out of him.
2:29 pm on November 18th, 2008
Morbid, she wouldn’t be able to do those things unless if you had 2 dicks. and she was rubber like gumby.
2:31 pm on November 18th, 2008
If that was all I planned on using, then I guess you are right.
2:41 pm on November 18th, 2008
BTW, props on the hawt pic of the scarlet bizatch of babylon riding the beast with the 7 headz.
2:45 pm on November 18th, 2008
Can’t wait… do we have to wear big girl panties on the new site too? Or can we do away with them and wear no panties? ???
2:49 pm on November 18th, 2008
I like that you didn’t even need to sleep on it, baby baby, didn’t even need to sleep on it . . .
2:53 pm on November 18th, 2008
Yeah, I hate Meatloaf.
2:57 pm on November 18th, 2008
Yes, you must wear your big girl panties.
Preferably on your head.
3:17 pm on November 18th, 2008
hee hee
3:25 pm on November 18th, 2008
Me too – always preferred Lasagna.
3:25 pm on November 18th, 2008
Woa! Scary conversation going down over here! I feel as if I stepped into one of those porn sites that involve food and stuff…
As long as it is not “2 Girls and a Cup”
3:30 pm on November 18th, 2008
It’s “2 Girls, 1 Bucket, and Some Roadkill”
3:31 pm on November 18th, 2008
Gads!
3:41 pm on November 18th, 2008
Why not give a wake-up blow job-it’s there for the takin isn’t it? No fuss, no muss-just a nice woody right next to ya…
3:45 pm on November 18th, 2008
I think you may have misunderstood the term “joystick.”
4:32 pm on November 18th, 2008
I’m jealous. I guess you’re lucky he didn’t sic a big pissed-off dog on you.
The book is due out at the end of December; I just pre-ordered it on Amazon.
4:37 pm on November 18th, 2008
I was really annoyed he didn’t just use a picture of me.
4:48 pm on November 18th, 2008
I can see LE and Family Services wondering why there is a sudden onset of homes that are dirty and kids that are neglected. They will discover parents on the computer, browsing and posting frantically on not one but TWO D’D related websites. I could be in trouble.
4:57 pm on November 18th, 2008
Buggsy you always go there
You make me laugh!
Interesting, very interesting…hee hee

I had missed the actual signing, and he was sitting outside the bookstore smoking (this was back before he and Burke both quit smoking). I sidled up to him on his blind side with my copy of Blue Belle, and he seemed most irritated. He scrawled his name in the cover, and I slunk away in shame. Hence, I missed my chance to have a cool smoking moment with the man.
6:15 pm on November 18th, 2008
That IS you, isn’t it? I mean, holding your bourbon and everything.
6:25 pm on November 18th, 2008
That’s some sweet headgear you have there, Imp.
7:05 pm on November 18th, 2008
The rack definitely looks about right, wouldn’t you say?
7:11 pm on November 18th, 2008
Yeah, like putting a dead bird on top of her head is going to throw us off.
7:17 pm on November 18th, 2008
That might be a lame depiction of me. I would never wear that hat, I am much better looking, and you will note a complete screwup on hair color.
The minions do look about right, though. I think that’s Morbid in the crown.
7:21 pm on November 18th, 2008
Look how bizarrely muscular Morbid’s thighs are. And are those ripped glutes?
7:23 pm on November 18th, 2008
BTW, the left hand is holding the bourbon. But does the left hand know what the right hand is doing? What IS the right hand doing? I’m concerned. As is the dude in the blue–he’s playing with his own nipples.
7:29 pm on November 18th, 2008
I think what’s important to note is that imp can ride a 7-headed beast side saddle with an ostrich ass on her head and not spill a drop of bourbon.
7:32 pm on November 18th, 2008
Quite a gal, quite a gal. Must have glutes of steel to hold steady like that. And, as Athena mentioned, there’s that outstanding rack.
7:45 pm on November 18th, 2008
Ya know… I sit and read… I sit and read… I enjoy your banter with one another… I really love the personalities around here…
But dang… I want to see this photo of Imp, downing burbon, with the ostrich ass morbid crown thingie!
What the! I really have a hard time viewing the photos on this site… I’ve got to do something about that… really… and if you are on the sly speaking of the new site… then I missed the boat completely… and I can’t tell, cause all I see is boxes with little red X’s in the top left corner!
Hello all… Luv here!
7:49 pm on November 18th, 2008
That’s because it’s empty, silly. The only reason she traveled across the desert like that is because she knew at least one of these chumps is gonna set her up with free drinks. She just didn’t want to deal with the keg cup, so she brought her own. See how she’s holding it? She’s about to shake it around so that they know what’s up. Tell me that look doesn’t say, “I better have ice in this glass before I touch the ground…”
8:01 pm on November 18th, 2008
Anyway… any helpful hints would be awesome!
8:02 pm on November 18th, 2008
I think there’s also the element of, “See these hand-sewn jeweled slippers on my feet? If they get within six inches of this vile shit you losers call the ground, I’m telling Fidos 1 through 7 to open up a can of whoop ass on you sorry sumbitches.”
8:03 pm on November 18th, 2008
Welcome, AladaLuv! I wish I could give you tips regarding your inability to see images, but I’m clueless. What browser are you using?
8:07 pm on November 18th, 2008
Explorer…
Some photos are there… but most of them, like the ones within the stories are not. I get sooo bummed when you guys are making funnies about someones mug… and I can’t join in!!
You are very descript however…
8:09 pm on November 18th, 2008
She definitely snagged the proper ride outta the garage for this expedition. Seven heads to seven victims? That’s not coincidence…It’s contingency.
Aladaluv – I’m not the most technically-forward around here, but have you checked what your filter is set to?
8:12 pm on November 18th, 2008
Download Mozilla Firefox and try that.
8:13 pm on November 18th, 2008
Yeah Athena… and I also made sure nothing was blocked. I know we have a pretty secure and not so user friendly internet atmosphere here where I am… but geesh, this sucks! Thanks for the suggestions guys! Someday I will figure it out!
Think you got something worth saying? Type it out. If you don't wanna look lame, get rid of that default avatar and go get you a gravatar! Tell 'em Morbid sent ya'. Lastly, as far as we are concerned, posting a comment means that you have read our Disclaimer.
