Growing Pains

We should seriously hang one of those “Bless This Mess” signs up on our website today. Because that would be so southern of us. Anyway, the explosive growth of FITSNews has apparently caused some “technical difficulties” that (surprise) were a bit too sophisticated for the walnut-sized brain of our founding editor.

Long story short, we’ve gotten a little too big for our Internet britches.

Anyway, we’ve switched servers (whatever the hell that means) and we should be good to go now, but in the meantime this whole crash-and-burn episode gives us a chance to formally introduce the new FITSNews - which we have heretofore neglected to do.

So … consider yourselves welcomed.

Now, as to how the new site works, it’s pretty simple. Click on what you want to read, don’t click on the other stuff.

Sometimes it may take one or two clicks to get to where you want to go, but c’est la vie, people. This is a pay-by-click business, and we’re not about to starve on your account.

The good news is you won’t see any of those annoying pop up ads here (ever), nor will you get those equally-annoying slide-across ads, or ads that automatically start making annoying noises. We hate all that crap, and we assume you do, too.

We’re definitely open for business on the advertising front, though, so if you want to reach all the most important eyeballs in South Carolina (and beyond) with your message, e-mail our advertising department and they’ll send you an ad kit.

And don’t forget our online store, either, for all your official FITSNews apparel and merchandise.

Most importantly, though, while we may be getting a facelift (and undergoing some growing pains), we’re still the same unfair, imbalanced, uncouth, inappropriate, uncompromising, irascible assholes you’ve come to know and love (/hate) over the past two years.

Which reminds us, this site is every bit as much yours as it is ours. Every article we write is an opportunity for you to tell us we’re full of it - and the great thing about our comment feature is that you can say ANYTHING using ANY screen name and ANY e-mail address you want and nobody (not even us) will be able to figure out who you are.

So enjoy yourselves, people, and we appreciate your continued support, feedback and patience …
