Penelope says: Haylp The Fortress!



Well, it was either her or get endorsed by Blubber Bear and The Arkansas Chuggabug.

OK, The Fortress and The Curmudgeon need YOUR help, loyal Dweller. Heaven knows I've tried, but let's face it - five weeks in and I've yet to hit double figures on the old members list. And seeing as I'm going on holiday in a few days there will be no more updates for about 16 days, so even those chosen few may start to get bored and look elsewhere. Hey, it happens. That's why I've been filling the site with reviews and what not, giving people who DO come in plenty to look at and contribute to.

Invisible Wolfman gave me the idea about an hour ago when he posted this touching message on a DVD Board. Check it out.

Hi.

I'm bumping this thread up because I feel that some of you are missing out on something special here.

That's right, something SPECIAL.

The Curmudgeon's site is just loaded with stuff to enjoy, no matter if you enjoy what he's posted up or that you enjoy the chance to argue your point against what he's posted (doubt you'll win, it's IS The Curmudgeon's Fortress Of Solitude after all, and that's that). I think The Curmudgeon said it best when he said:

I aim to please. And infuriate.

So what are you fools waiting for? Get on over there....save your very souls from the scum of the earth at The Curmudgeon's Fortress Of Solitude!


Shit man, that is some HARD SELL right there. Awesome. Now, obviously I don't expect anyone to go down that route, but even if you visit another site, be it a chatroom or a discussion board or something, and casually throw the site address into the conversation. Like, I dunno, "oh, you don't like Independence Day either? Check out THIS review" or something (admittedly cheeseball) like that. It's asking a lot, I know, but hey - for the good of The Fortress, guys. If it even gets one, two more people making regular contributions then that can only be a good thing, right?

I hate to ask but hey, needs must. And tell you what, to sweeten the deal - the person that gets me a new Dweller can have Penelope, still tied to the chair, for two hours. No questions asked. What goes on in The Fortress, stays in The Fortress. Ohhhh yeah....

Hell yeah that helps! See, as I said when I originally opened these Fortress doors, I have NO idea, zip zero, about computers. That's why I also said there would be no cute programs or anything like that on here - it's all about the people and what they have to say.

Submitting them to search engines is a FANTASTIC idea that, quite simply, is not in The Curmudgeon's ballpark.

Nice to have someone with The Knowledge to do that. Superb stuff, Hacker. Superb!

By the way folks, even though I'm filling the Fortress up like a squirrel in Autumn, don't think I've forgotten previous posts. So do please keep contributing to them, even if they're not the first pages you see. Out of sight does NOT mean out of mind.
