BASH...the Blog is dead.
Long live BASHandSLASH.com
You heard right, the BASH webcast's venerable CoD2 blog, will soon cease to be. It is a dead blog. The only reason it will continue to stand on its high perch is because we will have nailed it there.
With the coming of Call of Duty 4 in November, it must have been obvious to any of our readers that BASH...the Blog, as a CoD2 site had limited life left. For this reason we thought seriously of our future and decided to make a long term commitment to the CoD and FPS gaming community.
On a personal note, as the host of the weekly gaming webcast BASH, the author of this quasi-daily blog, BASH...the blog and the publisher of BASH EspaÑol - oh, and the admin for the BASH Boards, I've had a bit too much on my plate.
Managing all these entities has been tough without a portal and that's why we bought BASHandSLASH.com. Having one site will allow us to become more efficient and thus will make the gathering and disseminating of community news easier.
WHAT'S WITH THE NAME?
BASH is and will still be the name of our webcast; "SLASH" will refer to all our written work and hence the name of the new site: BASH and SLASH!
MISSION STATEMENT
BASHandSLASH's goal is to increase community awareness of the work, skill and effort put into building and maintaining the online FPS gaming hobby. It's about the community.
WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?
Light-hearted and intelligent discussion. I hope that we will not be a typical gaming site. We go by a few mottos:
"Entertaining and informative"
and
"At BASHandSLASH, we get the *word* out".
You will not find boring, overbearing, know-it-all articles here. And if you do...it's us doing sarcasm baby! One of the reasons we started this site is that we were tired of self-righteous, all-knowing, noob-hating site-Admins and their self-righteous, all knowing, noob-hating forum posters. The concept of our new site is to encourage communication so that all of us can one day achieve self-righteousness, omniscience and noob hatred.
Priorities and Focus
a) We will specialize in getting the CoD community all the news they need, be it both commercial in origin or derived from our own ranks.
The community will have input into BASHandSLASH! Contribute in our forums and let me get to know you and you will be allowed the ability to write your own articles on the pages of BASHandSLASH. Add links. Add news items. Participate!
b) General FPS Gaming, including exciting new games like Medal of Honor.
c) Humor ("humour" for the Brits out there)
Taps for dead blogs everywhere
Sadly, we will be losing BASH...the blog. It has served us well over this past year. This will be done in a slow phase out. We will not delete any of the posts on here - but we will probably not add too much content, if at all.
BS BOARDS
The current bashboards.freeforums.org forums will be for the time being our site Forums. We have renamed them though to: The BS Boards, in honor of the BASH and SLASHING going on in them.
HABLA ESPAÑOL?
Also, we do not plan on carrying forward with the BASH EspaÑol site. Bilingual articles may appear in this site - but that will be up to our readers and their needs.
THANK YOU TO YOUZ GUYZ
BASHandSLASH did not just pop out of our addled brains. No sir/ma'am. It is a fermentation of various comments, ideas and suggestions we have had this past year hanging out in the sometimes-fractious CoD Community. At the great risk I will miss thanking someone, here is a list of the people who have helped me out:
My Wife
{DD}MorphineFiend - oft misunderstood, oft misquoted, accept to no copies. Morph, yo' da man. No one in CoD writes as well as you - WORD.
{DD} GenSherman - founder of the Devil-Dogz. Woof Woof! Awesome dude. Russ gave me the encouragement to try my hand at webcasting and told me how much he liked BASH in spite of how much it may have sucked at the beginning. Thanks Russ.
{DD} Elixir of Mongoose - GenSherman's better half.
All the {DD}'s: Go0ch, Lem0nade ...et al
Matt Pruitt and planetcallofduty.com - Matt is one of the nicest folks I've met on here. Never a bad word about anyone and always optimistic. Thanks Matt!!!
Luis Guerrero - gracias cabron!
{DBTRS} Deuce - 1000 karma points for ya dude
*JOKER at eXtreme+: Positive role model for the whole community. He's the real deal. A community led by *JOKER would be a much better place.
BubbaGump - I lose two drops of pee everytime I talk to you dude. Funniest guy in gaming.
Tally, Norminator, and of course Anthony Scungile for not "whacking me".
As usual...we hope to continue to be both entertaining and informative!
