Keenlace Lives!

I'm going to be surprised when one of the KeenLace volunteers replies to this thread again... it's full of people who really need their attitudes adjusted. KeenLace lasting a long time is a good thing.

Lasting a long time is one thing. Not updating is another. If it were updating regularly, I doubt there would be any complaining because then we could at least see progress.

Consider it like a web comic. The goal is to update on a schedule to make your fans happy. Now suppose your favorite web comic was very inconsistent in posting, even though you knew that it had 50 strips drawn, scanned, and waiting to go up. The comics were ready, they just weren't being posted. I find that irritating myself.

In the future each entry should be given a date and loaded into the auto updater and forget the waves all together. If there are 30 entries it will take a month and it will be done.

I completely agree, and I think I've made the same suggestion. It would make sure we update on time, and it would bring more people to the site since they would be visiting every Monday through Friday rather than once every two weeks.

Look. I'm sorry this hasn't gone smoothly, and I'm not the most qualified person to run this, but no one else was jumping up and down volunteering to run it. This is more work than it looks like, far from "just waiting to go up." And Keenspace has been broken for the past week! I know you want this to update, so do I. But it takes a distant fifth to paying rent, going to school, updating my own ignored comic, and maintaining a personal life. If you have different priorities, KeenSwim or whatever we're calling it these days is coming up and can use a host. Or maybe we'll skip it again this year because no one's interested in running it. Couldn't blame em.

Now if you're still interested, we're finishing this next week or the week after. Again, I am sorry this has been drawn out, and your frustration is understandable. The waves are fine, but sticking to a twice a week update schedule would've made this managable and we all could've gone on with our lives long ago. It's my fault, but again, I'm really busy and someone needed to do this. We're going to finish this soon. Just a little more patience, please.

Can I volunteer to organize Keenswim? I'm only partially employed- it's not like I don't have the time

Who do I talk to to do that?

Yeahduff · Post by **Yeahduff** » Thu May 31, 2007 11:46 am

Not sure. Start a thread, maybe someone with info will come forward.

Feel free to mention you'll be more on top of things than Keenlace.

Aw- I know it takes time, and that yanno, life happens. I'm just offering, because I work from the computer anyway, and I can always use a new goodie project

I'll be happy to help you out. I'm a stay at home dad with a lot of time on my hands.

Geekblather · Post by **Geekblather** » Thu May 31, 2007 4:31 pm

awesome! I made a post about it, and I'll start tweedling with site designs tomorrow (since all that's on my schedule now is sleep until noon...)

I wonder, do you vacuum too?

Does Keenlace live, or is it already a coma?

If you waa-aaant, you should submit to KeenSwim, after all- bikini- bra and underwear-- is there really such a difference?

Just remember, the idea about KeenSwim is that it's more than just swimwear - it can be any kind of summer activity - because otherwise it falls too close to the old BiKEENi thing that Keenspot used to do (which Keenlace was originally a response to).

Yeahduff · Post by **Yeahduff** » Thu Jun 07, 2007 11:51 am

I dunno, if Spot ain't doing it anymore I don't see why they can't be similar. Underwear is not the same as swimwear, though there is obvious overlap.

Oh yeah. There is a pulse.

Tim · Post by **Tim** » Thu Jun 07, 2007 12:01 pm

I suppose, but then Keenlace and KeenSwim would be too similar to each other. KeenSwim can give those who don't want to (or can't) do something fanservice-y an opportunity to participate.

Yeahduff · Post by **Yeahduff** » Thu Jun 07, 2007 12:47 pm

Neither one demands fanservice. Basically one's more summer, the other more for winter (ideally).

Geekblather · Post by **Geekblather** » Thu Jun 07, 2007 6:21 pm

That and, submissions for KeenLace are over, whereas KeenSwim are still open. Another important difference.

Wasn't there a KeenWinter a few times too, years ago?

Yeahduff · Post by **Yeahduff** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 8:21 am

Don't remember that. Either before my time or it was during my drinking days.
