As I told you before you can use a Gravatar with your name when you leave a comment. People without a Gravatar will get a random Icon from now on. This Icon is unique and will be always the same for every user so it’s easier to recognize people in the comments :) Of course you can upload your own image as your Gravatar at any time.

Tell me what you think about that!

Salut Milkboys!
The WGT is over and was fabulous! :D
I took a few photos in case you’re interested.
Normal posts will follow from tomorrow on.

We’re still at the Wave Gotik Treffen
and will be back next Wednesday.
Go and discover some old posts :)

Over the last month we collected the money to pay for the milkboys server until April 2009 — thanks a lot for your support! And as promised we have picked 5 random winners out of all donors who will get an account for The Fall Out Boys X - the naughty brother of the popular emo boy blog The Fall Out Boys. Thanks a lot to their webmaster for giving away five accounts for the milkboys fans! :o) There will be a new prize next month.

Many blogs did it before and since it’s somehow funny…
…these are some Google Search Terms that led people to milkboys (comments by me)

• monstern buts porno (Rule 36… )
• bill kaulitz feminine (Indeed)
• cross dress as pregnant (The pillow is your friend)
• the pirate boy (Pirate Bay for Gays? Good idea!)
• aaron carter bisexual (Hmm… )
• nude wonderwoman pics (Definitely wrong link!)

Yeah, we made it! You have donated enough money to keep milkboys alive for the next year!

Thanks a lot!

I’m thinking of way to reward the people who donate to milkboys since a while. There was the idea of some kind of “premium content” but I discarded this soon because I don’t wanna split the readers into classes. The Internet should stay remain neutral everywhere, everyone should be able to get the same content even if he can’t afford a donation (what I really understand!). But I couldn’t run this site without the donors so they should get a little “Thank You”. I came up with this:

From next month on (May the 1st) we will randomly select someone out of all donors who will win a little prize: This time it’s the current issue of Destroyer. Next time it will be something completely different :)

So if you have donated earlier and didn’t mail me yet - do it now!  If you’re planning to donate via Tipit don’t forget to mail me.

• We had more than 700,000 visitors since the start of milkboys
• More than 6,000 people were here on some days
• We had to get on a new server due to the traffic
• The password protected posts are working again
• The FAQ was updated & a page about our RSS feeds was added

We have upgraded milkboys to the latest and greatest version of WordPress a few hours ago. Most of the changes are of a technical nature but there is one thing that’s new for you: You can have a gravatar. A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an avatar image that follows you from weblog to weblog appearing beside your name when you comment on gravatar enabled sites. Avatars help identify your posts on web forums, so why not on weblogs? Signing up for a gravatar is free, and all that’s required is your e-mail address. Once you’ve signed up you can upload your avatar image and soon after you’ll start seeing it on gravatar enabled weblogs like milkboys!

Sign up to get your gravatar now!

Password Problems

Some people were not able to get into the protected posts. I fixed something in the PHP code of a cache plugin for the blog and now it should work again for everybody! So the password is back again. It’s the same as before. If you don’t know the password you can get it here.

Vicious Videos

If you had problems playing some videos here with Firefox or Opera you should be able to watch them now. Sorry for the trouble, I didn’t see the problem earlier since I use Maxthon Browser which played the videos all the time. There is a strange problem with Rapidshare and the Flash Player which I avoid by upload the videos to our server at the moment but we have to find a new video host soon :(

Some posts have multiple videos. If you want to see them all you can use the playlist below the Flash Video Player.

Play : Click this button to start the first video.

1 :  This is the first video which is shown in the player.

2 : This is the second video. Click on it to view it.

If there are more than two videos you can scroll down in the playlist to view them.

Yeah, I ripped of this idea of communication with my readers from the great artist Dennis Cooper (I want a stone from de Sades castle too so bad! How did you get that?). I guess it will be helpful since more and more mails get lost in spam folders, people tend to ignore answers to older comments,  I’m officially to busy to use Instant Messengers and, to be honest, too lazy to write mails for just one question. So let’s ignore my creepy English and start off:

~~~ Luca: I know what you mean. The editor in chief of the best known horror mag in Germany (”VIRUS”) is a homophobic dipshit too. That’s why I love Rue Morgue. They even had an article about the evolution of homosexual horror fiction (in issue 62)! I love Canada :D ~~~ Sidney: I didn’t hear anything from Ai for months now, do you know where he is? oO Your last show on WBAI was very moving by he way. Good to hear the stuff you don’t get in the news. ~~~ Doug: Do you think you could upload the other photos by “Q”? Would be great :) ~~~ Rimmer: Did you get my last mail? ~~~ Karl: Don’t miss the new photos of you semi-god ;o) ~~~ Haiko: I can’t remember if we were on Tweedle or on Zesore but the dumbasses of the latter banned me so if you wanna play again look for me on Tweedle. I should get my own server but I had no idea how expansive they are :( ~~~ Soja: Good luck in Hamburg! Maybe you can sneak into the radio station there and let them hear your voice… just in case the test is too hard xD ~~~ Jay: Snipe some ALCs for me. ~~~ Karraz: I guess most people know they’re a stupid minority. Emos giving the country a bad look… but rioting brainwashed kiddies are way better of course… sure ~~~ Tabbs: *nom nom nom* ~~~ Saphiro: Flaschenpost!?
