ANNOUNCEMENT: No "Beat Galactus" Quiz Tonight - Instead, a VERY Special Episode of...MEET THE MANAGEMENT

We're postponing our regularly scheduled quiz at 5pm PST so that we can give our community a chance to question, criticize or outright castrate the owners. Jim and Nate will be there to take the heat, as will many of our volunteers. See you there!

As you know, Thursdays is usually reserved for our trivia quizzing in chat, and Sunday night was our "meet the management" chat--which we haven't done since last month. But given the events of the past weekend, we thought it was time again. So, meet us in chat at...

5:00pm PST in the Chatroom!
(6pm MST, 7pm Central, 8pm EST)
If you aren't in the U.S. click HERE for a time zone converter to figure out when to arrive.

In case ya don't know... The site Owners of ComicBookMovie.com are:
Our fearless leader is the product of an unholy union between closely related West Virginia hillbillies. Jim Littler, also known as Galactus, is the Overlord and Editor-in-Chief of CBM. He manages the site's content, contributors and volunteers, as well as all the marketing and promotion. He is a graduate of George Mason University in Virginia and has worked in content development at such Internet icons as AOL, UGO, Fandom.com and AnotherUniverse.com.

Nate Best is our "Master of the Web". He's the developer, designer and programmer that actually put this awesome mess together. Whenever there is a technical problem on the site, Nate is the one to put it right, and to reprimand Jim for messing around with his code. He is also an avid gamer and hosts "Beat Galactus" from time to time.


About ComicBookMovie.com
ComicBookMovie.com appeared online in 2003, just before the comic book movie boom hit big. Jim and Nate, both having a love of comic books and movies since childhood, left their jobs to develop CBM into what it is today--the #1 site in the genre with 8 million monthly visitors, and in the top 2000 of all websites on the entire web. The community that has developed on CBM is one of the most fun and entertaining aspects of our site.

In 2008, the site was converted to a "user-generated" model. The content is 100% produced BY the fans and users of the site. Articles submitted are voted to the homepage by users, or may be moved there by a volunteer editor. Regular contributors of quality articles are given privileges on the site ("trusted user" status) which allows them to bypass the editors and go directly to the main. Those who will agree to help edit the contributions of others for homepage placement, are given "power user" status. Any user interested in helping the site need only show they are willing and able to do so and they will be advanced. Competition for breaking news is high here, but that is also a part of what makes ComicBookMovie.com unique and fun. Join us!

But anyone criticizing better have their facts straight, and the convo should be respectful. Most of our haters have an incorrect understanding of how this site works. That is why I put that short breakdown in the yellow blockquote above.

MisterNiceGuy,
You'd be surprised how much hate being #1 gets you. It's usually irrational, and comes out of the lemming mind-set that people must dislike "the man". Our biggest haters are usually disgruntled contributors who don't understand how things work around here, and expect their articles to be fronted when they are riddled with errors or just plain uninteresting. A lot of that type are paranoid and jump to false conclusions that the volunteer editors are out to get them.

That is why I'm doing these "Meet the Management" chats in order to combat false information, and help those who truly want to improve and gain privileges on the site to do so.

[frick] the haters. This site and everyone involved in running it is awesome!

And for [frick]s sake, you morons that didn't get that ror's article was satire - read a [frick]ing book you idiots. Ror's article was satire. "Duh, I read comics cause it has pictures, duh" That's what you're coming off as. Idiots. Wether it was good satire or bad satire is something you can discuss - NOT wether or not it was satire. [frick] [frick] [frick]! Now I think it would've been better satire if Ror really pushed it - but he didn't. It was alright. Now [frick] off you twats.

Thanks Dio, Scooby, YurMomm, and all those who have said kind words. CBM is not owned by some giant corporation like so many sites out there. We're just two guys (and some awesome volunteers) who are trying to improve a fun destination for comics/movie lovers. We recognize that the fans are REALLY who run this site, and acknowledge that our success comes from that.

@batz11, @AcidicHeart - I just tested the calendar in Chrome (same version you're using batz11, Version 25.0.1364.152 m) and it's displaying as it should... Have you tried clearing your cache? I'm wondering if it's an old stylesheet that's hanging around in the browser cache...

There WAS an issue with Internet Explorer a while back, but it was fixed with a stylesheet update.

Galactus! We have had some conversations in the past. Although i do not post here often i do visit the site atleast 4 - 5 times a day Mon - Fri.

I was just wondering if you guys could ever write some code to display our join date. Maybe something small under the Avatar like " Joined 3/15/08.

Something for us to wear as a badge of honor

GALACTUS INSERT: That will be happening in our next update within a month or so. Stay tuned.

I'll be at work but I have to suggestions:

- we need a "reply" button, so we can reply directly to that person I want to make my point across !

- we need a "like" button as well, some people are too damn smart for words, yep i'm looking at you Tea !!
ComicBookMovie
ComicBookMovie - 3/7/2013, 11:51 AM
Equivocal,
Be sure to remind me of those questions in the chat, but an answer to both of those is that we don't want unnecessary drag on the server for unnecessary features. Is it really so hard to just reference a previous post when you comment in yours? Why break the flow of the string? And why is it so important to "thumbs up" or down a comment when you can just praise it (or bash it) with WORDS. I guess some people are just used to YouTube and Facebook, but we don't have millions to spend on extra servers to cover the extra load that those things take.
