I suppose you're right, I really never know how much moderation there is for stuff like that.
By djrcreative on Mar 22, 2012 at 8:13 PM
K, you're losing me with your sarcasm (right?). "Cheezburger", as in Ben Huh, the CEO of Cheezburger. Sure, people can say anything, but I'd think the Cheezlords would put a quick end to anyone imitating him. However, almost 1000 friends takes a while.
By cratchmaster on Mar 22, 2012 at 1:23 PM
Well I wasn't sure - people write all sorts of crazy things in their bio; who's to know what's true or not?
By djrcreative on Mar 22, 2012 at 10:12 AM
ha ha... stfu. Those better not be serious questions, since you're friends with him too. But yeah, I also thought, "Man, who was lucky enough to score THAT username." Needless to say, I was confused. :P And, the cool this is, he actually messages back, like when I thanked him and expressed amazement. :o
By cratchmaster on Mar 22, 2012 at 5:06 AM
Who is cheezburger? Is that a user who has something to do with the creation or management of the site?
By djrcreative on Mar 21, 2012 at 10:03 PM
I'm not against the new format so much as how they've gone about things. My lol 6006706944 says it best. I've dropped my petition, though. I don't think it'll catch on because people realize that nothing they say/do will stop the progression. OH! and hopefully unrelated given timing, THE Cheezburger befriended ME?! At first I thought, "How can a site do that?" until I checked the user behind the request. :o I asked why, and he said because I seem engaged with the community. *shrug* Still, I'm curious how he noticed me...
By cratchmaster on Mar 21, 2012 at 4:26 PM
Yeah, I'm certainly not a fan of the new beta. Hopefully they get the kinks worked out. I find myself spending far less time on this site since the beta rolled out - and that's NOT what advertisers want. Hopefully they have a good reason for the changes because otherwise they may see site traffic slow down which will have a HUGE impact on their advertising revenue.
By djrcreative on Mar 21, 2012 at 2:00 PM
Thanks. :D My goal was mutual celebration, but jealousy works. LOL! Right now, I'm miffed at Beta's further, detrimental invasion. It was okay for my sub-sites, but when it f*cks up individual views? So, I started a "petition" today.(cheezburger.com/6008041472) Not sure if it's well received, though, because the new favs counter isn't working, and there's no individual voting... >:p However, no one's signed (ie: recapped), but it's too soon to judge. *shrug*
By cratchmaster on Mar 21, 2012 at 4:57 AM
Congrats that is awesome! I'm so jealous!
By djrcreative on Mar 20, 2012 at 1:19 PM
O.M.F.G... *speechless* Dude! I don't mean to brag, given we were both in the same never-Featured-on-Memebase boat (the fake-Featured Cathy doesn't count), but... http://memebase.com/2012/03/20/internet-memes-but-he-hopes-the-latter-doesnt-go-viral/ :o
By djrcreative on Mar 9, 2012 at 6:23 AM
Oh, I will add this: memes have changed my attitude towards recapping. Somewhat. LOL! I'm still fiercely one-off, but it can be fun to see how many times something can be recapped, and laugh at other people's take. Indeed, I just did two of your guy falling down the stairs. :) Besides memes, and not about recapping, the only thing I wish had caught on is my "How To" on still voting for Featured lolz when one really wants to: http://cheezburger.com/View/5886114304
By djrcreative on Mar 9, 2012 at 6:01 AM
Agreed. And actually, I didn't realize those were meme characters, because you'd said "I haven't really tried to make a meme yet. I do a lot of crying dawson and yappy chihuahua..." I thought they were comic characters or something. LOL! Really, though, I can't complain, because they're only 2 weeks old. In fact, I've only been here 2 months. Time will tell... :)
By cratchmaster on Mar 8, 2012 at 4:25 PM
I know, I tried to make a few memes a while back - Crying Dawson and Yappy Chihuahua, they never really took off. It sucks, but it's still fun to make people laugh anyway.
By djrcreative on Mar 8, 2012 at 4:45 AM
Well, mate, http://cheezburger.com/View/5946977536 sums it up best. It's been fun, but I'm beginning to feel like said meme... Thanks for your help, tho! :) A few made Vote and Cathy ALMOST made Featured, but... Can't win'em all. LOL! BTW, re: us talking about meme marketing? Turned what I said into one awhile back: http://cheezburger.com/View/5900640256 :)
By djrcreative on Feb 29, 2012 at 11:33 PM
Ditto the "ADD". And yeah, if any of my characters come to life, I'll probably lay off, because I also hate copying others. Notice you saw my Mark. LOL! He's one underhanded punk. Even if someone jacked the wording on one of my characters' memes, and it was Featured, I'd be happy. (C'mon, mods! Feature my b*tches!) ;) That's why Obamhurrr took. Someone's was featured on Derp.
By cratchmaster on Feb 29, 2012 at 6:13 PM
I think I transfered a few to here but certainly not all of them! I get easily distracted.
By cratchmaster on Feb 29, 2012 at 6:12 PM
It's a good point! I get mildly frustrated when I see copies of my wording, true frustration when I see poor spelling or poor rewording of my wording, but I'm most embarassed when I discover that I've inadvertently done the same thing to someone else - especially if their is actually better but mine made the front page! :P
By djrcreative on Feb 29, 2012 at 5:07 PM
BTW, I see you did a bunch of Suzies on Meme Generator, so thanks for that as well. :) Have you copied your memes between there and here, and vice versa? At least with Obamhurrr, whoever uploaded the pic here did so anonymously, and I have the "time-stamped" original. ;) He's up now on Generator (http://memegenerator.net/Obamhurrr), and I plan on copying from here to there while logged out as retribution. :p Muahaha! LOL! Also, I up'd Lindsay Lohurrr here and there (http://memegenerator.net/Lindsay-Lohurrr) but who knows if she'll take. *shrug*
By djrcreative on Feb 29, 2012 at 4:44 PM
Duplicates seem the nature of memes, unfortunately. Worse is when theirs makes Featured instead of yours. :s Duplication is why I've avoided memes prior to my characters. Notice how they're the only thing under My Pics? On purpose. I have an oddly jealous desire to be unique, and do most lols in Photoshop. When I need to use Builders? Pic deleted.
By cratchmaster on Feb 29, 2012 at 3:34 AM
That sucks. The most disappointing for me is when I do a caption and I see someone else do the same caption a few days later. Not a huge deal, but it kind of sucks when people steal your ideas. I haven't really tried to make a meme yet. I do a lot of crying dawson and yappy chihuahua, but that's just because I like my pics to be slightly different then what everyone else sees all of the time.
By djrcreative on Feb 29, 2012 at 2:32 AM
Saw you knocked out some Marks. Thanks. :) Y'know what's sad? With the work I put into character development, Obamhurrr catches. I uploaded him to Derp (http://cheezburger.com/djrcreative/lolz/View/5870346752), someone snagged & uploaded him as a pic (http://cheezburger.com/TemplateView.aspx?ciid=14896178) and now? 124+ Lolz. :s Oh well... LOL!
By djrcreative on Feb 25, 2012 at 4:53 PM
"One-up" ha ha... *boos the pun* Think he matches the character? Finally got him up @ http://memegenerator.net/One-Upmanship-Mark so have at 'im. There...and here... More memes mean more character exposure, which is what I care about most. Speaking of, Carl & Cathy were approved, but I think Suzie needs some love. ;)
By cratchmaster on Feb 25, 2012 at 4:16 AM
Awesome! I'm heading to work now but I'll see if I can come up with some one-up lolz for the new guy lol!
By djrcreative on Feb 25, 2012 at 4:14 AM
Challenge accomplished, actually right after my last message. One-upmanship Mark. Uploaded & live, but you may have already noticed. CANNOT get the dumb b*stard to upload to Meme Generator atm, though. Meh, f*ck it. Saw you went to town on Cathy. :o Tag team that b*tch. LOL! I up'd the ones I like. :)
By djrcreative on Feb 25, 2012 at 2:20 AM
Y'know, I'm having quite the challenge trying to find the "right" face for that meme character. :/ But, I did figure out how one can vote for Featured LOLs if one wants to. It's a li'l more complicated, but only a few clicks. A "How To": http://cheezburger.com/djrcreative/lolz/View/5886114304
By cratchmaster on Feb 24, 2012 at 6:18 PM
Clingy Cathy IS pretty cute!
By djrcreative on Feb 24, 2012 at 5:37 PM
Nah, Clingy Cathy is where it's at for me memewise. Plus, I'm slightly crushing, because I'm an eye guy.
By djrcreative on Feb 24, 2012 at 5:35 PM
Yeah, sometimes serious lag. Regarding FP, it was bullsh*t. It's not there. :P (yet?) I contacted support, but haven't heard back. Usually they're pretty quick. Otherwise, I didn't submit that 404 rage. I'm not stupid. LOL! Just a lulz between friend. :)
By cratchmaster on Feb 24, 2012 at 5:31 PM
Excellent! I look forward to seeing it - Creeper Carl was pretty fun!
By djrcreative on Feb 24, 2012 at 5:29 PM
Nice! (About the fame.) Speaking financially: 1) Make memes 2) ??? 3) Profit!! LOL! Indeed, back to the task at hand... Oh, btw, I have another character in the works. ;)
