We're going to be launching a new LMFAO soon. New layout, new backend, etc. Most of the behind the scenes stuff is ready to go, all that's left is designing the new front end... which, admittedly, we're slacking on. Mainly it's me, because Jesse has spearheaded and done pretty much all of this revamp and I'm glad. It's long overdue and I just haven't been able to put the time into it that I've wanted to. Moving on...

The exciting part of this though is that the new LMFAO is going to be more community orientated. We're going to allow everyone to actually sign up for an account, submit content, post comments, etc.

We might even start using our Twitter and even get a Facebook page. Who knows.

That's right, we're now on Twitter!

We very unceremoniously celebrated our one year Anniversary this week! Woo!

Just a quick post to say that we grabbed kneeslappers.net again :)

Welcome to LMFAO.US. Feel free to browse around, look at funny pictures, rate them, etc. Please do sign up, it's free. More functionality coming soon but for now... just laugh your fscking ass off.

New public launch date is 9/11/2008; sorry about the delay. An unforeseeable family emergency delayed production.

Work going strong, backend coding in progress.

The current image count is 500. That's 66.67% of the image count we originally had on KneeSlappers.net... holy crap! And that's only what, a week in? We had KneeSlappers running for three years...

We'll be done soon. We SHOULD be done soon.

The backend is still being written. Jesse and I are sometimes butting heads on coding styles and mechanisms but I think we're doing alright. I haven't told him yet, but I'm setting a tentative launch deadline of 9/1/2008. I think a week is more than enough time to get everything up and running.

Just a quick update; everything is going good.

Apache's mod_rewrite is definitely not our friend, though.

In 2001, Jesse and I created KneeSlappers.net, a comedy image site which, at its peak, contained an archive of an unprecedented 750+ images. In 2003, KS.NET fizzled out and the domain was subsequently nabbed by a squatter.

Fast forward to 2008: Jesse and I decided it was time to get things rolling again. Bummed that we couldn't resurrect the original name (the domain is still being squatted), we chose LMFAO.US instead.

Construction started on 8/17/2008 and a beta site should be rolled out in a day or two.
