...home.
It's different and all, but we've attempted to keep what's important.
Make yourself comfortable, Citizens. Posts on conduct (which regulars know already; nothing has changed) and who to contact with creative (me (the Milkman)) and technical (sean and possibly others) questions are forthcoming.
In the meantime, assume your game logs and special features carry over.
Hear hear.
Thanks for all the concerted effort so far, guys.
I like it. Pretty amazing that just 12 hours after the announcement, and there's already something up and running.
Nicely done, gentlemen.
Likewise, thanks to you guys and more for suggestions and logistics solutions. Synergy. Paradigms. You know.
Just testing this out
does my gravatar work?
sweeeeet. by the way, is everyone using their original accounts, or did you have to create new ones?
Have to create new accounts.
cool. just wanted to make sure i wasn't the only one.
Go Brewers!!!
Can our banner have a grizzly bear mauling a White Sox fan?
Also, can we fix the thing so that when I hit tab after typing a comment, focus goes to the "Post Comment" button and not to the top of the page?
I'm in favor, but I have no idea how to do that.
Neither do I right now. Might involve some messing around with tab-index.
Yep. Figured it out.
This place already works better than the Twins bullpen.
Or at least just as well.
I'm concerned that the .org extension is implying that things are somewhat organized
Would you believe that wgom.dis.org was taken?
I own TheWGOM.Com. If we can figure out how to transfer it, you can have it.
Wow, guys. Nice work.
All it took was for us to ignore our real lives and spend all day with the WGOM, which is essentially what we would've been doing anyway.
When I told Mrs. Hayes what was going on she didn't bat an eye and let me hang out all day.
I wish I could have stuck around to help out more, but I had the WI State Bowling Tourney in the morning (we will not be winning any money) and babysitting with my wife (for the kid she nanny's) in the evening.
That was fast.
Right after Mr. Guy closed down the bar, Messrs. Milk, Sean, et all built up the same danged thing across the street. Same beers on tap, same menu, same prices. Decor's a bit different though, what with the flowers.
But all-in-all, Wow.
As an aside, is this was it was like when Ron Davis was closer?
The flowers will probably only stay for as long as it takes for us to badger one of our talented painters to give us something more meaningful.
What, printers excepted? Psssshhhhhaw.
Are you secretly Matt Capps, meat?
Go to bed. I'm gonna go have a beer to celebrate having filed my taxes EARLY.
Can't sleep...a bit worried that things would be different (in a bad way). I was wrong...things are different, but not in a bad way.
Painters and printers! Sorry, just using "painters" as a catch-all there.
Just go with "ar-teests" and you got yourself covered.
They're funeral flowers.
Well, I figured out why my gravatar was always different everywhere outside of SBG.com. Apparently, I used an old, no longer valid e-mail address there. Now I need a more up-to-date picture of one of my kids.
Since I'm just assuming this is the new place to BS like always...
Lady Gaga has a new single out called "Judas."
It is not a Depeche Mode cover, so don't be disappointed like I was.
Dang, now I need to find Songs of Faith & Devotion
We actually have a CoC now too, but this is the post we're following today so it's all good.
HEYYYYYYY YOUUUUUU GUYSSSSSS!

By the way, everyone, Sean and I are giving authorship privileges to everyone we know had them previously. If you need them for a game log or whatever coming up, you should have them already.
so, you are saying I'm still on the hook for monday's game log intro?? I am really looking forward to the season debut of TBD on the mound for the Twins.
I had authorship privileges, but only for the past 2 weeks and I never had the chance to exercise them. Basically #25 on the 25 man roster: double-emergency backup for a game log or random recap - perhaps a bit like Steve Holm?
Steve Holm!
[steveholt.jpg]
OK, now that that's out of my system I won't do that everytime I see "Steve Holm"
Steve Holm!

Crap, I've gone and created a self-sustaning loop.
every time I see your new handle, I think "MacGyver" and giggle a little bit.
Another thing, since I never tire of my own voice: I put a suggestion box up at the top of the page. It's for voicing opinions on what comes over, or what we've left behind that we might want to start again.
Kinda entertaining that the suggestion box doesn't allow me to LTE
That is entertaining. Over at SM Survivor all my header pages have the ability to accept LTEs. Huh.
Don't look at me!
I made a new suggestion box on the front page. Hard to miss.
Nice place you've got here, guys. Hope an old Bible-thumper is still welcome.
He's not only welcome but already has his authorship privileges.
one thing nobody here will ever accuse you of is thumping the Bible
Test.
How do I change my avatar?
You'll need to double-check and make sure your gravatar account is sync'd with the email address you used to register here.
Pretty sure it's got something to do with gravatar.com, but I didn't have to change anything upon getting here for some reason.
Work?
"Lookin' good, Cletus," your mama yells from the dang roof.
Spooky, Sean, you've done yeoman's work here.
Thanks again, everyone. It was fun, and frankly, necessary.
We're but a small part.
Great work guys, really appreciate the dedication.
Test, test... Twins lost again yet?
The Twins have not lost during a game log on this site. True story.
Good point. Keep up the good work!
Hey guys what's going on. Nice site, still has the new carpet smell.
The WGOM is dead. Long live the WGOM. Or something.
Testing the avatar and the new site.
It's a miracle!
Just in case any of you thought that the world stopped turning over the last 24 hours or so, it didn't. Other important stuff is still happening.
The kicker in that piece: sixty-nine people falling ill on the same day.
Sixty-nine people?! Put that in a script, and nobody buys it...
Ah...my seat in the corner is not taken. Good to see the new "digs."
Hip, hip - HOORAY!
Does Stick still have the power to kick Moss off the island? Just checking...
Darn it! Someone, quick! I need more power!
I have added "Hire/Fire Moss" to your Dashboard. I can't believe there was such a specific plugin!
[Steinbrenner/Billy Martin jpg]
just checking in to see if it works
cool
I quickly created an account so I can continue to post once every three months. The place looks great. Nice job everyone.
