I'll work on compiling interviews, press- etc... then mike can add to list. Don't want to inundate him wtih work!
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-01-30T19:27:36-05:00
I agree, Historian. I must get some for future offenses!
Cal "Blackhawk" Rasmussen 2015-01-30T19:27:49-05:00
@Tchotchke I love the idea. And I think the EK would too. :)
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-01-30T19:27:49-05:00
@Tchotchke, I can start pulling a list of links and putting them on doc for future reference and ultimate addition to the site.
Mike Kabala 2015-01-30T19:28:09-05:00
@Thunder Clap, I'm more of a UI guy. If someone else would volunteer to maintain a Wordpress blog, I can load it into a subdomain and give him/her admin access.
I have added a link to the Google Doc on the main page for convenience.
BruceP - The Chameleon 2015-01-30T19:29:02-05:00
*Poof!*
There are many sites that have had interviews. If you do a google search for "exploding kittens interviews", you'll get a bunch.

@The Historian - at bottom of google doc, I've started a Press list. Most recent is first. let's title each artlce and when it was originally posted by news outlet.
I am not great with web designing but I can work on getting us a wordpress site up and running or if there is an easier blogging CMS that we can use I would be up for that as well.
The reason I am suggesting the use a blog setup is that we could then share the responsibility for keeping the site maintained without having to know much about html or coding in general.
Mike Kabala 2015-01-30T19:31:46-05:00
@Creeper, feel free to inundate me with work, but be sure to prioritize what you want first. My PM link is below.
Mike what hosting provider are you using ? and do they have a wordpress deployment wizard ?
The easiest way to setup a semi professional looking website would be to use a one click install wizard if it is offered by your hosting provider.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-01-30T19:34:21-05:00
@LZ, nice move with that rum sauce!

Mike Kabala 2015-01-30T19:35:41-05:00
@Thunder Clap, I agree. If we share Admin chores, we'll get the site looking spiffy in a jiffy. (Sorry, couldn't help myself.) I'll let the rest of you decide who wants to maintain the forum and then I'll load the software and assign admin rights to that part of the site.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-01-30T19:36:26-05:00
@LZ, my I love when a good trap is sprung, all the EU Friendly trinkets won't help you now.
Nice work @Trinkets

@CheetahButt, please refrain from spamming the comments section.lol.
ugggggggggg I absolutely hate GoDaddy. They charge extra for domain privacy and they don't exactly have the best customer service, and on top of that its not easy to transfer domains away from them.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-01-30T19:38:33-05:00

Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-01-30T19:42:02-05:00
If you pre-avenge something that will never happen due to the pre-avenging, aren't you just committing murder at that point?
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-01-30T19:42:30-05:00
Wait, is that a cache of exploding hairballs? Halt! Get me those balls!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-01-30T19:42:57-05:00

@Creeper, cool, I'll dump the links that I've collected so far into the doc in a sec. Then I need to depart again, Mrs. Historian requires fancy coffee drinks but I need more milk in order to make those a reality for her. be back in a bit!
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-01-30T19:43:43-05:00

Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2015-01-30T19:45:50-05:00
@Historian...Truer words, may never be uttered. That movie is...... I can't come up with an adjective appropriate enough to describe it. Perfection would be my only guess.

Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-01-30T19:47:56-05:00
I saw a collector's tin of EU friendly hairballs with trinkets and sleeves. Why would ordinary hairballs have all that? No, they're exploders!
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-01-30T19:48:50-05:00
Those EU Friendly Hairballs would most definitely need special handling gloves.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-01-30T19:49:25-05:00
Half a mil. Levar. We're coming for you. Veronica, better start running.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-01-30T19:49:48-05:00
@Creeper, could I suggest sleeves?
Cal "Blackhawk" Rasmussen 2015-01-30T19:50:19-05:00
Only half a mil? Dang!
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-01-30T19:50:21-05:00

@BaKhan - That's a given.

@Pottaten @Cheetah Butt- i think it's more people are super excited about everything, and getting head of themselves. We'll do one thing at a time. For now, I'm working on press links, and people are working on a logo. That's all we need for the time being. :) we'll keep it simple, don't worry.

Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-01-30T20:01:40-05:00
The amount of press and insane amount of backers has all their heads spinning a bit, and i'm sure they're trying to figure out a feasible update for all the backers!
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-01-30T20:05:07-05:00
Heheheeee! I got the hairballs. Now it's time to regroup and rebuild.
Mike Kabala 2015-01-30T20:05:24-05:00
@Potatten, there's already talk about a blog or forum, but I don't want to pull people away from the comments here. It wouldn't be fair to the Creators and it would dilute this community too soon. I'm happy to keep it as a guide to the comments at least until the funding period is over.
Cal "Blackhawk" Rasmussen 2015-01-30T20:06:54-05:00
@Potatten totally understandable. I liked the lego kitty so much I had to use it.
have either of you had any experience with wordpress or Weebly ?
and I agree that the forum should wait until after the funding is over. The reason I want a forum though is that it would later on give us structure instead of having to scroll through 1,000's of posts each day.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-01-30T20:11:54-05:00
agreed on holding off on forum. One place to comment will be simpler, but i understand what you're saying Post-campaign. I use wix, so i do have some familiarity with templates, etc. But, I think what we've got so far, just an update on the campaign and the comments section is all we need right now. I can keep adding on google doc and send updates to mike when he has time.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-01-30T20:12:42-05:00

Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-01-30T20:13:28-05:00
I don't think so
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-01-30T20:14:07-05:00
I don't think we need to do that just yet. I'm fine with how we're rolling for the time being. :)
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-01-30T20:14:44-05:00
Unless of course, yes- there's someone else that would rather get that taken care of. I have enough trouble working on my own site. I'm still happy to keep an eye on comments and updates here.
Cal "Blackhawk" Rasmussen 2015-01-30T20:15:48-05:00

@blackhawk - the juxtaposition between fluffy kitty and 'painful to step on' leggo's -quite nice.
I'll work on compiling interviews, press- etc... then mike can add to list. Don't want to inundate him wtih work!

I'll make lists on google doc, then send them to you. may as well streamline, then do one at a time. The historian will be adding as well.
It's good! The fruitattens aren't much of a match for my zombitten cavalry, especially with the pirattens there to devour them
Should I pull every news site mention of EK I can track down?
