I’m going to be moving my non-personal blogging operations (you know, the fun and interesting stuff) to Grumpasaurus.com, starting tomorrow.

I’ll be keeping Grumpy somewhat anonymous, what with not porting any of the existing CMo content over and no links back and all that (any authors here are, of course, more than welcome to post over there, but you’ll have to reregister). Other than that, the content should be exactly the same high quality wedgepadrille-hating, fucked to death by a horse-having, humor friday guy. There might, might I say, be some politics and such discussed over there as well. You know, that icky stuff non-pop culture crap that is such a bore.

There are a few reasons for this, not the least of which is the increasing amount of deleterious real life consequences for people saying things like “fuck” or holding opinions contrary to the desires of the administration and the rest of the rabid bigotsphere. The new site will also provide the same cover to the other authors here who aren’t already using psuedonyms. The move also separates the news and the non-news; most successful sites have an overarching theme. I still won’t have that, but at least I won’t be mixing in boring ass life updates. Finally, “Grumpasaurus” is kind of fun. It’ll be a nice change of pace.

The goal isn’t so much anonymity as it is to raise the bar enough to deter the non-dedicated kooks from sending dead rats wrapped in rebel flags to my door. Any sort of real digging will turn my real name and address up, but at least it will only be the real haters coming my way.

The new site is obviously still a work in progress, as I work out the visual kinks and sections and whatnot. One of the major ways the new web has changed from the early days is that the appearance of the site itself has decreased in importance. Everyone can have sweet looking sites with only a little bit of work. And I can promise you - I guarantee you that I will do a VERY little bit of work on the visuals.

I rarely go to actual sites anymore and just read the RSS feeds. I think the rest of the world is moving this way as well. If you, too, are a feed eater, you’ll want to add the Grumpasaurus post feed and the comment feed to your reader of choice.

This is still a small site, but as we’re up to over 1200 uniques/day, it’s now or never. I thank you, dear readers (and the 40-something various feed subscribers), and apologize for any inconvenience.
