blonde Techie Update

[tikay]

Yes, as many of you have already noted, Bongo has come on board to head up our Techie Department.

Most of you will already know Bongo, he of the outrageous Barnet, but also the guy who so often comes to our rescue when blondes have computer-related problems.

I have utter & complete confidence in Paul (Bongo) to help move blonde forward, via SEO, to much-improved traffic levels. Currently, snoops & his Team are producing what is, in my opinion, the best daily-updated Poker News site in the UK. Though I would say that I suppose...... But with the help of Bongo & SEO, (& other soon-to-be-announced changes) we believe we can improve traffic levels significantly, to the level they deserve to be, & this in turn will enable blonde to be a more rounded commercial animal, without sacrificing that special blonde Forum atmo.

I'm sure you will all support Bongo as our Techie.

Until his feet are properly under the desk, it's hard to assess how much help he needs to get blonde in shape Web-Wise. However, additional resource has been lined up & is waiting in the wings, should Bongo feel he needs it.

congrats Bongo and blonde, looks like a great move for both parties.

Paul?

I thought he was actually named Bongo by his parents....

In welcoming Bongo aboard, I'd just like to take a moment to thank Bream & Sparks for their efforts.

We have not fallen out with Bream & Sparks, in fact I've never had a cross word with them. But we just needed to do certain things differently. Bream & Sparks - Ade & Rowan - came on board when we badly needed them & did a grand job, improving Forum & Site Stability to almost 100% reliability, from it's previously fragile condition.

When we had the Management Changes at blonde last Autumn, Rowan, Ade & myself found ourselves in a very odd situation which required THE most careful sorting out if blonde were to stay online. I'll forever be grateful to them both for trusting me, & being patient, until we could resolve the situation - which we eventually did, 100% successfully.

Thanks guys.

Just want to add my thanks to Bongo for the quick and reliable fixes he's already implemented - it's so great to have access to the secret behind the scenes world of tweaking which makes all the difference to us less technologically advanced content creators... it's been a long enough time for me to have learned the C++ basics since we've been able to change/update/improve stuff, but even if you can't see them, interesting things are planned which we hope will make blonde bigger and better, introduced to more people via the miracle of the internet.

Bongo - I roll out the virtual red carpet for you.

I suppose the good news is that nobody had to go through all the threads on the mod board with a pair of scissors

Good point ...  Whilst in Brighton today, tikay left his lappie unguarded and Flushy kept trying to peek at the mods board !!  I managed to thwart his attempts at spying the Holy Grail, But to appease him I allowed him to do 1 search of the mods board..... He typed in "Flushy is a cock" and got 73 pages of results

We'd need a shredder if that came to fruition.....
