First off, a huge thank you to those that support the blog by visiting, commenting and sending PM's
It's humbling that this little corner of the webz has turned into what it has.
Secondly, this is all free candy, myself and Jeffery do this for the entertainment value, camaraderie
and hobby aspects of blogging. There has never been any financial incentive or financial income
for what is here. It is just a clearing house for sophomoric fun and information that I deem worth
sharing. Currently work is very busy as well as my personal life. Today I spent some time looking
at photo sharing sites to at least host FFFF so I can just post a link. (freeimage.host) is one I found.
If anyone knows about that please email or comment.
In the meantime, I plan to reach out to divemedic and mike at Coldfury to see what is involved
to move there. I also found a list of some open source blog platforms. HERE<
Here is a list of 'free' image hosting sites. HERE<
Over the past 14+ years I have gotten very adept at getting around blogger and posting with
relative ease. The thought of trying a new platform is , shall we say, not what I would like
to do. BUT, it seems like it's going that way.
Please feel free to comment or email so a discussion can be started about possible better
alternatives. I know some of you are a lot more tech savvy than I.
Maybe I will try a donation page or some form of ad income will help ease the burden.
All thoughts are welcome.
Again, thank you all. It's greatly appreciated.
Slainte !!

illegitimi non carborundum, Irish. We're all fighting this fight in one form or another.
ReplyDeleteMan, do whatever you need to do to make it work. Makes my week. Happy to help out.$$$
ReplyDeleteYep we will support since there’s takes moolah
DeleteThanks for what you do Irish!
ReplyDelete> In the meantime, I plan to reach out to divemedic and mike at Coldfury to see what is involved to move there.
ReplyDeleteThis is how you win. Fuck Google.
Yep.
DeleteFuck Gag-me
Fuck Blogspot!
Agree 100% with Fuck Google. Will become a site supporter if you move and have that option.
ReplyDeleteI know you will, but just making sure that you'll let us know where to find the bestest Friday Night Entertainment! Those classic cars and awesome food pics are heartwarming! Oh, and those ladies are sort of nice to gawk at too! As an older guy, how about more older ladies? Oh, and some young ones from the mid 60's and early 70's?? Those would bring back memories of my HS years as a lifeguard! Thanks for all you do!!
ReplyDeleteI'd be in for a buck or ten or whatever and whenever it seems appropriate.
ReplyDeleteI'll be interested in seeing what you guys come up with. I've thought about doing a blog but crap like this and what those dirty, rotten sons-a-bitches did to Chief Nosewetter holds me back.
Been a while since I wrote- but I am a daily reader. I thank you both and commenters humbly and sincerely. I am sure many agree- wherever you go, we shall follow. You enrich my life daily. If by a smile, or a wry comment.
ReplyDeleteyou are kinda more family than all my blood.
Keep us updated, we are fully on board.
What Juan said. I'll only add that years ago I ditched using Google of everything except my email accounts. They've been free and too easy to link my email software, but that's coming too.
DeleteLong time listener first time caller, err, poster. Thanks for the pick me up every week. I catch myself looking forward to your posts, and heck, my wife even understands when I say something, and then just say, "Irish." :) Keep up the good work, and here's to a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteHey Man, no matter what, just want you to knowz I appreciates you guys for everything you done, and I means that to you from the bottom of my heart, you gots a really superb inter-websy blogz thingy, and nothing like it exists, in my humble opinions, so takes it for what its worth to you, cause you guys and what you do's is top shelf baby, first rate, with truly righteous run down of classy Ladies and other most excellent Men'z eye candy.
ReplyDeleteHats off and Bravo Bravo Bravo!

DeleteThank you Irish for all you do keeping us informed and entertained.

ReplyDeleteWhat Irish said!
ReplyDeleteGivem' Hell boss!
Where you lead, I will follow.
ReplyDeleteKeep communications open is important, if you need any help just holler!
ReplyDeleteelmtreeforge.blogspot.com had the same issue. Not sure how they got around it. I think only temporary.
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, I'm right now in the process of "replacing" a web site that's gone dark (death of owner). It's a small group that wishes to stay together so I volunteered to host the site on my infrastructure. I have a hosting service and use Wordpress dot org, not dot com - though I believe the WP.com version is a "free" service. I've never had any censorship problems using either version. The dot org version is far more flexible but not cheap because it is a self-hosted platform - you need a hosting service ... costs of which are somewhat dependent on traffic levels. But you get what you pay for.
ReplyDeleteI'm debating charging a membership fee or not on this new site - I may not have to; I can do this cheaply for the others because I already pay for the service for my other activities and my licenses allow "unlimited" web pages and unlimited uses of the theme; I'll just piggyback the new site on my present host. Registering the new domain is a minor expense. Most of our group are OK with a small fee. However, if I were to use the infrastructure I have now from scratch, it would cost many hundreds of dollars per year ($250 - $600) depending on bells and whistles and I would have to either eat the cost or charge a moderately high subscription fee (depending on the number of subscribers). The hosting service is the big and necessary expense. I don't know about the "free" services - I don't use Blogger for exactly the reason you got blocked - and yours isn't the only site I've seen this happen to ... and bare titties aren't the only reason for the blocking. I'm not suggesting anything for your site, just letting you know what I'm going through with setting up a new blog site
Good luck with however you continue
Fed fed fed fed fed fed fed, or not bwahahaha
DeleteSucks to have to move blog. Been a long time since I had one, and I dreaded the task. Done it for others too, though that was back in the ancient times of blogging. I'm one of those guys that really appreciates this place, though I rarely comment. I should change that...
ReplyDelete2 possibilities come to mind. One is a blogger whose blog / handle I don't remember - very much a "free speech" and liberty-oriented type guy. I managed to run across a badge for his hosting though. Troglodite Services. Yeah, you go to the .com for that domain and it's nothing. Contact via e-mail Sales [ atat ] Troglodite . com. Don't know the current status. For example, GunFreeZone is hosted there, but Miguel has moved to substack - I don't know why.
Other would be the guy who runs Sippican Cottage. Here - https://www.sippicancottage.com/2024/12/welcome-to-the-byzantine-empire.html - he mentions he runs a web hosting service. His e-mail is down at the bottom. I know nothing about the guy, other than he has a flair for writing and snarky commentary.
Approach this as an opportunity. Much more positive results will be enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteI am a daily visitor & will continue to be. Do what you need to do, and keep us informed. I appreciate the hard work you put in to keep us all entertained and informed. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSame here.
ReplyDeleteNo worries about finding nsfw sites.
ReplyDeleteDon't know you personally, but it's good to hear work's keeping you busy (hopefully for the rest of you lurkers as well).

With you!
ReplyDeleteWhatever you decide, as long as you're online. 👍

For what it's worth, I started here (blogger) went to WordPress and came back. Though in the end I think WP backed off their plans to destroy their system with a "new and improved" interface that was new and not improved.
ReplyDeleteMost of the free sites like Blogger or WP are going to have fairly vague community guidelines that will let them throttle or kill any content they don't like, which for most of these places is anything to the right of Bill Clinton
Even some of the for-a-fee hosting sites will have the same. Not all.
I didn't move the old blog. I had my original blog here online as archives when I went to WP and when I came back, and the WP site is still there. But the old links were broken and taken over by Spam and Scam sites. And the Moonbats started reporting the site, so I had to make it private.
Which is probably what happened to you. The people who are distressed by your content are reporting you to silence opinions they disagree with.
I've witnessed so many of these wonderful places harassed, censored and quashed.
ReplyDeleteI hate leftisim.
