...Ok, show of hands, how many of us actually read the news messages at the top of the screen? Is it that hard to miss? Even though it clearly says to Not post aliases in the forum, I see one or two pop up almost everyday. Seriously?! :B

...

Just felt like pointing that out.

-End Comunication-

I honestly think the update should be rolled out early. People are just ignoring the news and they're probably going to fuck some stuff up eventually.

There are also people who don't look at blips.

There was a note about it.

The statement, "lrn2read" is now proven.

No, it's my pet. It bites.

"Reading skills may help you to comprehend this text."

But seriously, the news is there for a reason and it is easily visible.
If somebody hides it without reading it then it is his own fault for everything that happens because of this. Ignorance of the law is no excuse.

e621 is proud to announce that we're partnering with a new venture that will literally change the way you think about the internet. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Blips.

What are Blips? Blips are a revolutionary web portal that will change the way users interact with other users. Blips are a revolution in the way web users interact with one another. Blip is a fun made-up word, combining the words blibble and prink, both of which are also made up.

A lot of people say 'I love Facebook, but what Facebook doesn't allow me to do is connect with friends'. So we took the appeal of Facebook and added the ability to connect with friends. And that's when the fun began. Blips allow users to accumulate blip points, or bloints. Users can exchange bloints with other users and in return, they receive quimbles.

There are seven default quimbles. Users can express their creativity through user-generated customizable quimbles. Users can customize their quimbles by adjusting attributes such as Vunk level, amount of "Shkiggles", and Blorkiffability. Never before have users had this level of control over the Blorkiffability of their quimbles, and I think that's part of what makes Blips so exciting.

A lot of people say 'I love Youtube, but what Youtube doesn't allow me to do is share and view videos'. So we took what Youtube does and added the ability to share and view videos. Then we replaced the videos with something called Shmorkle-Blinxx. And that's when the fun began.

Imagine being able to email a Shmorkle-Blinxx to your grandma in Tuscon, or live Blipping a Shmorkle directly to your Blinxx page. And the more Shmorkles you Blinxx, the higher your S.P.E.E.M. rating. And we haven't even gotten to the Gorks yet.

So if your Shmorkle makes it to the top of the top Blinxx list, you gain the ability to create and edit Gorks. Now what are Gorks? Imagine the biggest groog you've ever seen. Add a pinch of spimple, and you've got yourself a Gork. Gorks are groogs, Blips style.

Some of you might be wondering, what's the difference between a Gork and a Blork? Simple. We haven't mentioned Blorks yet. Let's move on. Send enough Gorks and your Gorks to Shmorkle ration will go skyrocketing into Dunklesphere!

Users are not allowed to send sexually explicit Gorks. If you receive one of these Gorks, simply notify one of our Gork moderators and they'll review that user's account for possible deletion and/or vintrification.

You know, a lot of people say 'I love Twitter, but every time I sign in, it's just a blank screen. Why is it like that? I don't know how to turn my computer on'. Facebook, Youtube, Twitter--these are all social networking sites. Blips are not just another social networking site.

Blip is a lumpy pink alien we found in an alley that was dying due to exposure to oxygen, so we poked it with a stick until it stopped breathing and moving. And then Tony said 'Fuck. Fuck, man. Fuck. Fuck.' And then we said, 'We should start a website that doesn't really do anything, and name all of the things on the website after sounds the alien made before it died.' And that's when the fun began.

I read the news every time I come to the site, encase it changes.

I have never used blip feature and I very rarely look at them.

oho that donald glover so hilairioyus

Maybe the news message should be made to flash, if HTML and/or CSS still allow that.
Or have a bunch of animated ponies dancing around it.
