United Phone Losers?
« on: May 02, 2008, 05:04:02 PM »
Sensing a lack of smart-assed remarks and general criticism directed towards me, I'm going to ask you kids what you think. I bought the phonelosers.net back about a year ago, got excited about working with it again, and then promptly forgot about it and let the site go down for a while. Right now i have it simply hosting the old UPL zine issues.

My question for you is, if I decide i do actually want to maintain and active UPL site, what would you like to see come from this site? what projects do you want to see? do you want to see the zine active again? should we do something better? what should the site actually be like? what will make it appealing to you?

this post is a bad idea, isn't it?

I'd like to see an update detailing every time you've had sex ever since you discovered it and ditched the phonelosers.

I KEED, I KEED!

I'd dig seeing a regularly updated zine again, even if zines are like omg soo 1997.  I liked the way the UPL zine was evolving towards the end of its old run.  I wouldn't mind seeing something that walked a line between what UPL was doing and the serious, techy stuff that SysFail did, but I always did love the PLA/UPL sense of not taking itself too seriously.

Most of all, though, what I'd like to see is issues released on a regular basis.
May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.

My dad specifically told me that I can not ever visit this site if you guys start up again. I don't want to get grounded again, so please don't.

In the time honored spirit of ripping me off, I think you should start up a podcast and do occasional YouTube videos.

It is a bad idea. What are your answers to those questions? You can't stay motivated churning out content that you're not excited about yourself.

i'd love to see the resurrection of the UPL zine.  i really enjoy reading the old UPL issues...not only are they fun, but i really appreciate the fact that they're written in a way that novices can read them, learn a lot, and not feel spoken down to.

not only should you bring back the upl zine , but you should have an active site

ex:
prank call section
forums
shoutbox
pics
blog
podcast
fruitwall
arcade
etc..

sort of like this site except for the fact that everything here is outdated.
