| Answer | | · WTF is a flambore? Hell if I know. flambore is always spelled with a lowercase f. That's all you need to know. Go tell others and prosper or something.

| | · Tell me everything I need to know about flambore.com As you can probably figure out, this is an E/N site (entertainment & news). I post stuff that's funny, dumb, weird, games, whatever looks interesting at the time.
I try to post at least 5-10 new entries per day. If that's not enough, I also have a whole section of RSS syndication feeds from some of the best E/N sites out there. You won't get bored here.
If you want something random, hit the block at the top of the page labeled "Send me somewhere COOL", and you will be sent to a random site from the linkdump page. If you want to scan through the linkdump list, or add your own, click on the linkdump link at the top.
I do NOT advertise on this site, and I do not make any money from this site, so you know that any link I post here has your interest in mind. There are no pop-ups or forced ad pages. If I do post a link to a commercial site, it's because someting on that page was interesting and relevant to the content of this site.
If you have something cool to share, hit the "Submit Story" link at the top of the screen. I appreciate the submissions, and always give credit.
I do not house content on this site. Any videos, photos or whatever are located on the sites the link takes you to. I always try to make a point of giving credit to wherever I found the link. If there is no credit at the bottom of the post, that means I either found it myself, or when you get there, you will see the site's name at the top of the screen.
I try to make this site as easy to use as possible. That is, you don't have to register or anything to see the daily updates (or archives for that matter). I am starting to make some stuff that will require you to have an account to access. This is sort-of a reward for those more loyal users who care to stick around for awhile.
We have forums. The forums are cool. They are LOADED. There are some great users posting tons of stuff every day. You won't get to the forums unless you register. Too bad. You wouldn't believe what you're missing out on in there.
I am always trying to improve the site, so I'm always adding stuff. Stop back for daily updates, and check around for new features.

| | · So, what is the purpose of this site? None whatsoever. It's not here to please anyone, and it's not meant to insult or offend anyone in particular. I can tell you that I am American, so sometimes I may make mention to anti-terrorism or how weak our government has become to all the "political correctness" crap out there, but that's just me. So, basically, I search the web for stuff that I find interesting. I pop a link to it on this site with some sort of witty comment, and then allow you to see my collection of links. You may make comments about the link or my comments. You also have the right to not look at this site, so if something offends or doesn't agree with your mindset, you're free to move on.

| | · Where do you find all this stuff? Honestly? Most of it comes from the sites in the linkage section. I am not very original, and I know a good repository when I see one. Unfortunately, that's how it goes. I'm not being unoriginal... I used to send emails to friends with all kinds of links to this sort of thing, now they can just go here to look at the stuff.
One thing I won't do is re-host someone else's stuff. If I come across something, I will link to *that* site, not steal their stuff and host it here, or put my logo on it. That's lame.

| | · Why do you end entries with a comment with a slash? It's an HTML thing. You end tags with a slash. It's like my parting gift to you. Don't look at it if it bothers you.

| | · Do you make any money with this site? No. You don't see ads, do you? I do this purely out of generosity.
/you're welcome

| | · Why do you list web sites at the end of your posts? That's where I found the link. I believe in giving credit where credit is due.
The exception to this is, if you click on the link, and you see their banner at the top of the page, or it's a direct link to their site, then I don't bother cuz you'll see where it came from. That, or maybe I found the link myself.
It could happen.

| | · What is NSFW? NSFW means Not Suitable For Work. As in, there may be nekkid people or something that if someone walked by your desk with this on your screen, you'd be in hot water. Same applies for if you have kids and you don't want to have to explain this to them yet. You get the idea.
Likewise, SFW means Suitable For Work or Safe for Work.
In addition, there are subcategories, such as SKSFW (sorta-kinda safe for work), RNSFW (really not safe for work), DOYBM (depends on your boss's mood), YGFIYSWTOYS (you'll get fired if you're seen wiht this on your screen), and so on. I normally only use NSFW or SFW.
While I don't normally have anything on this site NSFW, a lot of the pages and links posted here may have that sort of thing. I can tell you for certain, almost every single site listed in the "linkage" section have nakedness in the ads.

| | · You posted a link that's broken. Who do I complain to? Waah waah waah. I post links to other sites. If they go down, I can't help that. If the link is on my home page- that is, the post is less than two or three days old, let me know and I'll try to correct them.
If you found it in the archves and it's broken, sorry, I'm not gonna fix all them shits. I leave them there even if they're broken so I can search back to make sure I'm not posting a dupe.
If you see a link that's broken, and you're jonesing to see that content, search that site. I link to a lot of entensity.net's stuff, and after awhile, when he moves the stuff to the archives, the link locations change. A quick search will find what you're looking for.

| | · What's your favorite e/n site? You mean besides flambore.com? I have a lot of favorites, really. For instance... blognog.com, coolios.net, anothersite.co.uk, i-am-bored.com, totalfark.com, and a bunch more.
Well hey- here's an idea.. Look on the home page of this site. Along the right side there's a list of my personal favorites. There are two groups of links- one that's made up of graphic links, the other one is just text links. Please note that those with text aren't necessarily any less cool than the graphics ones. I have to limit the amount of graphics that pop up on the homepage, and some don't have logos. That's pretty much that.

| | · What's this syndication/RSS deal all about? Syndication means you're making it easy for other sites to easily pick up your content and reproduce it, providing you give credit to where it's coming from.
I have added quite a few other sites' RSS feeds into this site. At the moment, it's listed at the bottom of the home page, but that will change shortly. I am working on a module with a shitload of different feeds for your enjoyment.
I also allow syndication. If you like what I post, feel free to pick up my feed and add it to your site. I would appreciate if you could drop me an email to let me know that you're doing it- just for my curiosity sake more than anything.

| | · What's up with that "Send me somewhere COOL" block at the top of the screen? It's a randomizer. Click on it, and you will get sent to a random site pulled from the linkdump section.
No, you will not be sent to any sponsor sites or spam sites or anything like that.
If you want to browse the list of links, hit the linkdump section (link at the top of the page).

| | · What's teh 0verflowage? Often times I'll come across something interesting, but it doesn't really warrant a graphic, or sometimes I'll stumble across a link I've posted in the past, but I really like it. OR, Andy posted it on Saait, and I wanted to steal the link for my very own.
Basically, overflowage is a bunch of links all piled up in one post. No graphics, just links. If you don't like them, pretend they're not there.
If you want a shitload of links at one time, just click on the Overflowage link along the left side of the screen, and you'll immediately get like a hunnert links. Maybe even a thousands.

| | · What's the deal with the Inner Circle? You wish you knew.
Man, you're missing out on all kinds of crazy stuff. We post things like how to get rich quick, how to get millions of dollars from Nigeria, how to get a monster shlong, microcap investments, how to verify your ebay/paypal account information, and all kinds of amazing stuff.
Here's an idea. Register as a member, get involved, and after you've posted 100 messages, then you'll find out.
