Yeah, I very much agree. Most of them are boring, and very few are funny - more just irony or interesting juxtaposition. But every now and then there are some real great ones that make it fun. I want to improve the voting/cleanup system so that it gets rid of some of the junk.

I'm also going to go in today and set it up include a larger image pool, and the text pool as well - will yank from varied sources.

I don't get a ton of hit right now. But as the system is now, for every hit that I get on that page, the servers from which I grab content also take that hit. So I think I will add in scripts that run every hour and hit sites, pulling down a pool of content, and then my code will just poll that local content. That way any outside sites would only get hit once an hour by me, instead of taking a hit everytime.

Still not a perfect solution, but nicer (more polite) than what it does now.

There are some odd things afoot now, in the Villa Straylight.
