Thanks for 3 Great Years, and Goodbye...

12:00 AM, Filed under: Home \ About Egotastic!

Well, it's been three years since Egotastic! exploded onto the Internet in a rush nipple slips and bikini pics, and it's been one hell of a run. But to all good things, an end must come, and what better way to go out, than on top.

With over 55 Million pageviews this past month alone, Egotastic! has reached it's zenith, and as of today, will be no more. Besides, after seeing Lindsay Lohan naked, what else is there?

We'd like to thank all of our dedicated readers for all your love and support, as well as all those great bloggers without whom this site could not have become the success it is. And on that note, the only thing left to say is so long, and thanks for all the fish.

Update - April 2, 2008: Well, that was fun. Probably more for us, then you, judging by the over 300 emails we got saying you would all commit mass suicide if we ever closed down the site. And just to be absolutely clear, if you haven't figured it out by now, it was all an April Fools Day joke. Don't worry, Egotastic! isn't going anywhere, but it's great to know that you would really miss us if we did.

I don't usually respond to childish, passive aggressive behaviour, and I don't like fanning the flames of inane online bitch wars, but this time, I'm not going to sit with my thumbs up my ass, no matter how good it might feel. Hollywood Tuna has called me out as a "copy cat," and in his "imaginative," "overly sensitive" mind, I suppose that's what I am.

Do we have similar content? Yes. Does every other babe-centric gossip blog have similar content? Yes. I won't apologize for posting content that I think my readers will enjoy. And I sure as heck (I wanted to use a harsher word, but the kids are watching) won't let any other site claim that I am "using all of [their] material." Last time I checked, quoting a news source, or posting a video that was uploaded to YouTube is what blogs do.

The funniest part of what was written, though, is that he puportedly conducts himself "ethically." I won't go into details about how far that is from the truth, because frankly, it's none of your business, and you don't really care, but I have never known Hollywood Tuna to act ethically.

I'm sorry I had to waste your time responding to these jealous, and petty rants, and that's all I will say on the matter.

Update: Many readers have written in with the kindest words of support. Thanks to all of you guys out there.

Issues...

10:50 AM, Filed under: Home \ About Egotastic!

Site issues. Email issues. Other issues... Suffice it to say that the forces of the Universe have conspired against me once again. What does that mean for you? It means you'll probably have to wait until tomorrow for any new updates. Sorry.

2 Egotastic! Years!

12:00 AM, Filed under: Home \ About Egotastic!

Well it was 20 years ago today, Sargent Pepper taught a band to play, and it was 2 years ago today, that Egotastic! went live on the Internets. Wait, that doesn't rhyme.

The past two years have been great. Not only because I get to wear my P.J.s all day long, but because Egotastic! has had over 175 Million visits and 300 Million pages viewed. That, as the scientists say, is F-ed up.

So thank you for being a loyal Egotastic! reader, and here's to another two years. After which I will blow my brains out from way too much Lindsay Lohan vagina.

And We're Back

09:58 AM, Filed under: Home \ About Egotastic!

Hi everybody! Hi Doctor Nick!

Well, it looks like we're back online, and the new updates are finally showing. 14 hours late, on a 24 delay, for a total of 38, but that's okay.

If you're wondering why you couldn't get your daily fill of Egotastic! yesterday, lets just say there were guns invovled, and leave it at that.

Thankfully, we got the ransom money back, and those bastards didn't make it out alive...

Anyway, if some of these stories seem a bit "yesterday," that's because they are.

Blame Britney Spears' Vagina

06:27 PM, Filed under: Home \ About Egotastic!

UPDATE: Click the link for all the Britney Spears pussy pictures.

You may have noticed that Egotasitc! has been running a bit on the slow side for the past few days. Well, you can blame all those Britney Spears upskirt pictures.

The site has been dealing with traffic levels over 200,000 pageviews per hour. That's a lot. By any standard. And while everything is being done to make the site load as fast as possible, we've basically hit the limit of what the server can handle.

That being said, thanks for sticking with us, and know that everything is being done to improve the performance of the site. At least the site is performing better than Britney Spears' breasts.

Ego Trip? No, Euro Trip!

01:46 AM, Filed under: Home \ About Egotastic!

Well, I'm off to Europe tonight, for two weeks, but don't fret, you'll still be getting your daily dose of Egotastic!

Yes, I'm lugging my laptop with me around the globe, just so you can get your daily Lohan fix. But, if things don't get updated quite as quick as usual, or I don't respond to your email for a few hours, try and cut me a little slack.

Even bloggers need a vacation.

50 Million Visitors is Kind of a Lot

03:00 AM, Filed under: Home \ About Egotastic!

So, technically it hasn't happened yet, but in a few short hours, Egotastic! will have reached the rather incredibly awesome number of 50 Million visitors. That's a pretty big number, so I'd just like to thank all of you who helped make it possible, because there's only so many times I can hit the refresh button in my web browser.

Hugs and kisses,

Zaphod.

Update: So I jumped the gun by about 12 hours, but around 3:30 pm it became totally official. Yay!

Egotastic! Will Not Spam You

10:47 PM, Filed under: Home \ About Egotastic!

Grrr! Argh!

Some asshat is using fake Egotastic! emails to send out mass amounts of spam emails. I hope that none of you faithful readers has been hit by this, but if you have, rest assured that it is not Egotastic! sending out these emails.

I hate spam, and I hate these motherfuckers, whoever the hell they are. Trust me, if I ever find them, I will beat them to within an inch of their lives with their own dismembered legs, and feed their still breathing corpses to Plague-ridden rats. I don't know where I'll find the Plague rats, but I'm working on it. First I need to find these fuckers, though, so until then, I hope no one is to put off by all this.

Thanks.
