Changes to TVgasm

[roadtripper8]

I'm the dumb ass that didn't catch it. Duh...

[LonnaSaur]

I knew it was a joke (and a really good one, not a dumb one-I'm talking to you, Ryan Seacrest) so I was just playing along. I thought RoadTripper was playing, too! Long live my vajayjay!

[Cherie]

OMG you people are insane, in a good way! Tink you certainly know how to stir things up! Bravo to you. That was good. :D

Oh and Long Live Lonna's Vajayjay!!! (I have no vajayjay smilie. Boo)

[jampony]

OMG you people are insane, in a good way! Tink you certainly know how to stir things up! Bravo to you. That was good. :D

Oh and Long Live Lonna's Vajayjay!!! (I have no vajayjay smilie. Boo)
If you did, it would be confined to chooch's thread anyway. Even cartoon vajayjays are naughty.

[flipit]

i am a fool

i thought damn i know i haven't posted in awhile but did people change that much? good lord. glad to see you are still a bunch of dirty little perverts. i was feeling really uncomfortable

LOVE
your year round fool :eek:

[Cherie]

Aww you are no fool. Slow maybe, but never a fool!:lol:

[LonnaSaur]

i am a fool

Tsk, tsk. That's what you get for hanging out with that no-good slut, MJ.

[RachWho?]

I didn't know where to post this, so I am posting it here. I can't find the SYTYCD thread ANYWHERE! I can only find a poll about the final 4 from last season, and I wanted to see what people thought about last night, but didn't want to start an unneccessary new thread. I searched everything/everywhere I can think of. Help? :)

(BTW, I am so glad it's back!!)

[JulieM]

That's what I was wondering. It had such yummy pictures from last year.

[chooch850]

Why didn't you just start a new thread for this season? You are allowed to.... you have my permission.

[RachWho?]

Well, as long as you are cool with it...

[JulieM]

Great to start a new thread but again where did it go along with the droolworthy pics???

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Been doing a little housekeeping - here are the changes you may have already noticed:

Made the All My Kids (the people kind) thread go sticky.

Added a forum for The Mole under Reality Television.

Added a forum for Game Shows with a new thread for Password.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

We are aware of all the spam being sent to private messages. I have checked out the set up of the forums to see if there is something I can do to stop it, but I don't want to risk hitting the wrong button. I've escalated this problem up the chain to the new TVGasm fixer upper person.

In the meantime, you may want to turn off your pm's until this problem is solved.

To do that:

1. Select USER CP by clicking the button at the top left of the forums.

2. From the left click on EDIT OPTIONS

3. Scroll down to the PRIVATE MESSAGING Box

4. Un-check ENABLE PRIVATE MESSAGING

5. At the bottom click SAVE CHANGES

You will do this in reverse when you want to turn your PM's back on.

Again - I apologize for this annoying problem, hopefully we will have it under control very soon.

You do not need to forward me anymore of your spam emails - we are well aware of the problem :)

Thanks for your patience! :)

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Update: I have banned all the new users who are creating private messages. Hopefully that should quiet things down for now.

[brunettechic]

Thanks Tink!

[Clair]

I like your sig line Brunettechic - sounds like Joey from Friends.

[CuJo31]

There are so few people on here! I just joined because I remembered this being more active..it's weird to see now.

[brunettechic]

I like your sig line Brunettechic - sounds like Joey from Friends.

Thanks! It IS Joey from Friends!

[Pegster]

I didn't get any pm's from spammers. I feel left out. Don't they think I would appreciate some nice, tasteful, porn?

[TinkerbellAPixie]

It might be because I to go them before you saw it. I went into the profile of each individual spammer and deleted all the pm's they sent.

Ugh was that ever a chore.

[giffordsaz]

Kinda like the night I accidentally spammed the whole site wishing someone a happy birthday. It took me hours but I will never do that again! Now I know I can just change my signature line at the bottom!

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Um- not really like that cuz this wasn't done out of love. Unless you count my love to rescue all of you from the nightmare of porn pms.

[LonnaSaur]

I don't even have PM's and I'm grateful to you, Tink. Thanks for being so vigilant for everyone out here!

[roadtripper8]

Thanks, Tink! We probably don't tell you that enough but we do appreciate all that you do to keep the forums fun.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

I wanted to let you know I've added some forums for some of our more popular shows. You can now access them from the main page.

The new forums are all under Scripted Television (I moved them from Other Scripted Television):

Big Bang Theory, The
How I Met Your Mother
Mad Men
Office, The

Please let me know if there are any other shows you would like me to add to the main page.

Now that these shows have their own forums, you are welcome to set up a new thread for each week that they air a new show. I have already done so for The Office, Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother for this new season.

[angiemarie]

Excellent work, Tink!

[jampony]

Thanks, tink!

Looking at some of those older shows makes me sad, like Veronica Mars and Battlestar Galactica. I remember when those were hoppin' threads.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

I was wondering if I should create a forum area for canceled shows and move some of them over there. Whatya think?

[Clair]

I think that's a grand idea!

[jampony]

I was wondering if I should create a forum area for canceled shows and move some of them over there. Whatya think?

That would be really cool, but would it be a lot of trouble?

[flipit]

that's a really great idea. i get sad when i see v mars too! waaaahhhhhhhh

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Won't be too much trouble, I'll work on it this weekend.

[chooch850]

If you are looking for the TVGasm recaps. They are in the Newsgasm side of the main page. The site is working with new software & for some reason the tech dept. can't get the recap section to work. It won't post the recaps. They are going over things to try and get things back to normal. In the meantime, Flipit has posted a link to all the NEW recaps in the Newsgasm side.

Here's a link to them.........

It's under the Title "Guest Room".

http://www.tvgasm.com/newsgasm/

[itchy]

Whew! I was going through heavy withdrawal...

(is that bad? should I be admitting this? damn you Tvgasm! damn you! )

[Snootchy Bootches]

I was wondering what was going on! I go directly to the recap page so I didn't see the other recaps listed on the main page. I kept thinking that it was too quiet and no one was even making comments. Hopefully it will be fixed soon but in the meantime I'll look in the new spot.

[flipit]

SO the main tvgasm.com page is up and running fine now. all of the newsgasms and recaps are listed properly. now to get the recaps page listed!!

also i wanted to tell you guys that we are starting a tvgasm call in show this week for lost. it will be with greybishop and i. our first one is at 7pm eastern time. you will be able to call into an la number if you want to talk about the show, and if you want to chat along with us online, you can sign up for a free account at nowlive.com. i will post instructions on the main site monday or so, but i just wanted to let you know now in case any of you wanted to come talk with us! it should be a hoot. i guess time will tell.

anyhoozle thanks for all your patience while we get the site updated. once it's fixed it should work a lot faster. the comments are already posting so much faster that it was worth it. LOVE

[giffordsaz]

You know I am there.
We need one of these for BB too dudey.

[Snootchy Bootches]

Dang it! Lost doesn't air here until Sunday. Hey, at least it comes on regular tv, right? Anyway, I am sure you wouldn't appreciate me calling in asking "So what are they doing now? And now? And what now?" Would ya? :p

[trickydick]

It hasn't updated since 1/12. Anyone on this? I thought you all died since my reader hadn't updated in so long...

[angiemarie]

They are updating the recaps page, I'm sure the feeds will be back up eventually.

[flipit]

thank you! i didn't even know it was down. the recaps page is back up so i will get on this asap. thanks again

[angiemarie]

I want to formally congratulate (or give my condolences to) our newest moderator brunettechic!

So from now on all complaints should be sent to her. (just kidding, just kidding!)

[shantigal]

High five B.C. :thumbup:

Don't yell at us, too much, ok?

[lennonwhore]

I will now direct all complaints to her. forever.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Ooh bonus! hehe

I forgot to warn her about the random pm's she'll now get from people with all kinds of random complaints.

[brunettechic]

I was hoping to fly under the radar in the complaints section, but all messages are welcome from you guys. Happy or angry.

But now you all will know that I'm always here... watching you. ;)

Thanks to everyone!

[giffordsaz]

We got spammed BC>>> fit it!!!!!!

[TinkerbellAPixie]

yeah they hit us hard and heavy last night - I'm working on it right now.

[brunettechic]

Sorry... I saw it this morning but was already running late to my job that actually pays... SORRY! ;)

[giffordsaz]

Sorry... I saw it this morning but was already running late to my job that actually pays... SORRY! ;)

Wait.. they aren't paying you? Talk to Flipit.. he paid me back in the day to mod.. you really should get about $1000 a month now because I got $750 - 4 years ago. Tink has always made the most because honestly she does the most and knows so much more history here.. and keeps us straight... well unless you weren't straight to start with.. then she will work with that too.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Yeah a make a whopping $0. But it's worth it for the smiles I put on people's face. LOL!

[TinkerbellAPixie]

I just had someone send me a question that comes up from time to time and I thought it would be helpful if I posted the answer here too.

How can I change my user name? If you ever decide to change your user name, just email or private message one of the Moderators (angiemarie, Pekmboyd, brunettechic) or myself. We can get your name changed for you.

You can also email us with other questions about the forums and we are happy to help.

[Clair]

I'd like to change my name to TinkerbellAPixie.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

LOL - oh and I can be Clair.

[angiemarie]

Hey guys,

If you received a private message from Lyagushkka, just ignore it.
They're a spammer and I've banned them. (Banished to the 7th circle of hell!)

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

I'll go in and delete all her pm's

[flipit]

thanks you guys!! these spammers are making me insane. has ANYONE found a tall partner yet?! hahaha. we have finally hired someone for a redesign! there will be a lot of cool new features added to tvgasm and it will not look as ghetto. teehee. one of these new features? BETTER SPAM BLOCKERS!!

[Clair]

Would it be possible to have fewer pop-up Bling ads on the recap pages? They seem to be multiplying and they're extremely annoying.

[chooch850]

I heard that's just the beginning... we may get ads back again in the forums!!!

[here4beer]

I heard that's just the beginning... we may get ads back again in the forums!!!

Just use Firefox. The Ad Blocker Plus add-on does all the work for you.

[itchy]

There are ads on the internet?

[flipit]

chooch you are a troublemaker! no one said anything about ads in the forums you nut. those bling ads make me INSANE. i am doing my best to get rid of them but it's not looking good. i never thought of fighting for fewer of them, so i will take that and run with it. saw some of the samples and it looks pretty tight so far. like it's 2009...or something.

[chooch850]

me? cause trouble? hahahaha!

[TinkerbellAPixie]

I've done some cleaning house today and made the following changes:

(can't believe we didn't have those already)

Demoted Sections

Moved Threads:

Let me know what you think of these changes. And if you see any threads I forgot to move - feel free to bump them up so I can see them. :)

I'm committed to making this a place that's easy to navigate so your input is always welcome :)

[shantigal]

Thanks Tink. Anything that saves me time for more tv watching, is a good thing.

[angiemarie]

Oooh, love the redecorating. It all looks so pretty, Tink.

[Wayne]

One section that probably can be deleted now is the Prison Break section since the show is no longer on.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

We have been inundated lately with spam private messages that contain viruses. If you get a pm from someone you do not know - please do not open it. Please forward the name of the sender to me and I will delete them.

I am going to notify Flipit and the site's IT person to see if we can set up a rule that will restrict pm's from people who do not post.

Again -DO NOT OPEN pm's from strangers.

Thank you!

[angiemarie]

Just another heads up, gasmii. There is a another spammer on the loose using the name "Ladyadministrator". DON'T OPEN ANY PRIVATE MESSAGES FROM THIS IMPOSTER!.

(And how dare they try to impersonate our lovely Tink, hmmmpphh!)

[Chrissie]

is there someway to delete them without opening them? I have four and don't see a delete button.

[chooch850]

http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t158/chooch850/delete-1.jpg

On the far right of your message box, at the bottom of the page, is a drop-down box. It has the delete option there. Just "check" the box on the right of the message & then use this to delete it without opening.

[flipit]

ARGH sorry about this you guys. we are working on a fix. thanks for posting that chooch. those little snakes.

The noive! I took great satisfaction in deleting all her pm's and banishing her to "the attic"

[TinkerbellAPixie]

The spyware spammers are getting creative (and stupid - sending it to the actual admin sheesh) today I received a message from "trueLadyAdmin" titled ""Important message from the forum administration!".


I have deleted her pm's and banned her. Just be careful when checking your messages.

[JulieM]

Gawd, I was just coming to complain about trueladyAdmin.

[flipit]

kept getting these spam postings from the forums. came here right away and they were already moderated!! awesome. just want to say thank you mods. you are really on it. thanks for all you do
love

[chooch850]

And I thought you came here to brag about the new facelift TVgasm is getting. When can we expect it & will the format of the forums change too?

Yes, the mods are awesome at spam annihilating around here.

[flipit]

it looks great!! i have no idea when we can expect it. i have my fingers crossed for this month. we are moving to a whole new system, so the poor designers are having to transfer every single article and comment over. i haven't had a chance to play with the forums yet, but it's the same process so we don't lose anything from the years past. whatever we are going to get will be a hell of a lot better at blocking spizam, i'll tell you that.

Well, this is exciting news! I'm tired of deleting posts from the same spambot using different user names.

[flipit]

i know, right!?!? they think they are so tricky. thank god for you guys.
