Everyone who e-mailed and a majority of those voting in the poll agreed that more original content is what BBspot needs. I also think people are assuming more QUALITY content not just more. My plans are to consistently improve and to add more stories per month than I have in the past. Time is still the main issue, but motivation has become less so. (some wiseacre just suggested More Factuur Man as a poll choice) Check out this week's poll - Favorite Game Show Host (http://bbspot.com/Polls/) -I mentioned the BBmap last week, but now you can see it in all it's glory at http://bbspot.com/map/ Thanks to Angel, Turing and Dr. Roboto for this one. ------------------------------ QUOTE OF THE WEEK Nobody gets into heaven without a glowstick. - Homer ------------------------------ LINKS OF THE WEEK Here are my favorite 5 links from the BBspot Daily Spot section (updated M-F) in case you missed them during the week.
