Note to any who may think this thread belongs in another area: I checked with the mods and was told that threads about new SSB articles belong here in GS&P.

Finally, a new article is up on StopSylvia.com!

It is a more formal version of the article I posted about here a couple of months ago:

This Site: What Happened?

Some things yet to be done:

1. Spellcheck
2. Update the Articles Page
3. Update the News Page
4. Add descriptions to the Related Links

Any and all comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

Another milestone!!
 
Okay, seven hours later, this thread has 65 views an NO replies.

Is the article that bad, or is it just because it was posted in the forum before?
 
No, it's a great article and very nicely written.

And it kind of brought tears to my eyes. You know, there was a time there, in the first few weeks after your stroke, where I wondered if we would ever see this day, the day another article went up on the site and my friend RSL was back in business.

I like it, and wouldn't change a thing. Didn't even see any typos.

P.S. I was writing this about the same time you posted your last comment, so make that 7 hours and ONE reply. And I overslept this Saturday morning or it would have been here sooner. :)

Rob as a semi professional turd in the punchbowl i will offer my opinion.

I think it is that after such a long ( and deserved) absence, people are looking for a bit more content. Most of us who like your site are here quite a bit , so if it was posted before here, people probably aren't going to chomp at the bit to get it again.

That being said, you had a stroke man, i personally don't really expect too much from the site right away, and sylvia herself, besides rocking a new Y&R appearance isn't doing too terribly much.

You have a combo of a terrible personal trauma , and a foil that is hiding under a rock, if anyone else feels like me, we don't blame you for the lack of site content.
 
BRAVO!

We are back! :D:D:D

Good article, well written. I like your observation that it wouldn't even take a doctor to see you were in danger of a stroke, let alone a psychic. That's very well said.

Agree, and hopefully it will take some of the wind out of the sails of the fans who want to attribute it to bad karma or a punishment from Azna. :rolleyes:
 
I think it's an excellent idea to post an update such as this. Anyone finding your site for the first time may have wondered what was going on, perhaps Sylvia had found a way to StopRobert.com. And since you asked for comments, I find the dates at the top ("published March 27th, 2010" and then the date below "Aug 24, 2009") a tad confusing, and also under "How Am I Now" your last name appears to be Lancasterwebmaster.
So glad to see you back and doing well, keep up the good fight!

Thanks, sadhatter! I hereby officially revoke your semi-pro status! I appreciate your comments, and I hope you are correct about the reason for the low response count.

Thanks, Eeney! I decided not to add "...being an idiot, I ignored the dangers myself."

Thanks, fuss-ass! Lancasterwebmaster would actually be a pretty cool name...
 
I think it's an excellent article. The current picture adds a very nice personal touch as well. Best wishes.

And to be another fuss-ass, and perhaps you're already aware as it seems to be part of the site (part of the database, or like template thing.. I'm not HTML savvy..) the related links on this, and other, pages says that 'StopSylviaBrowne.com is not responsible...' not 'StopSylvia.com'.

Darn, thought I had fixed that in this article.

Thanks - I need all the fuss-asses reading my articles as I can get! :D
 
Okay, I've updated the Articles Page and added a second picture to the new article. this is starting to come back to me!
 
Congratulations on getting the site updated. I think this is the first time you have mentioned the forum in your articles. As for the lack of replies to this thread I think that is due more to the lack of content than anything else.

But what is exciting is the precedent. You now have the ability to put them up. So when can we expect more? You must have a huge backlog.

A huge backlog of topics for articles yet to be written, not of ones waiting to be uploaded. I am in the middle of writing one I hope will go up in the next few days, but no promises.
 
I've just been gone all day. Good to see a new article, Robert! I'm sure that the people who don't know you from here would need such an update and without one would wonder if the site would be stagnant forever. Now they know that is not the case.

Nice pic! Good to have you "back" and I'm sure you'll have no lack of fuss-assed typo spotters! :)

Well, if you really mean it: this is nitpicky, but it's a pet peeve of mine:


...a fund which had been set up to help Susan and I...

It should be "Susan and me," as the pronoun is an object of the verb "help."
