One of the problems in the world (among many) is that people equate most websites with blogs. An article has hit the web featuring some bloggers, old and new (very few of which who outdate us by the way), and the wars between them. The Jeffrey Wells/Dave Poland stuff is especially comical. Read it if you want a laugh. I couldn’t, it just hurt my face and head.
A line from the article which scares me:
“On a good day, he noted, AICN takes in about $3,500 from ads”
Makes me feel I’m in the wrong business.
Anyway, read that shit and then come back here, remembering we’re a SITE and not a goddamn BLOG.

You're in the same business as AICN…you just fail at it.
AICN's ads don't destroy your computer with viruses,
and can you please fix your goddamn verification system you fucking fat wop??
Nick's not fat. Genius.
AICN has ads?
I love how dickheads hide behind anonymity. Unless there was a big boom in the "User" family. And this article just made me want to throw up in my pants a little bit. Can't this business be about movies and how we, I dunno, love 'em? Harry gets that. Wells and Poland and Finke are just attention whores.
This is the second time you've bitched about the verification system today. I've never had issues once. I think you just cant figure out how to type letters. Maybe reading is an issue too.
For the record Nick is as tubby as they come but not quite as chunky or as hairy as Devin. Sure by internet nerd standards he looks as thin as a runway model by comparison but that is setting the bar a little low.
Two problems with the analysis. First is that Chud IS a blog. It posts updates, accepts comments, lives and dies by the quality of its posts. Don't fight it, admit it you're a blog, and maybe you'll do better.
Second is that Chud should not judge feuds, since Devin has the most personal feuds of any internet pub.
To #1: Boosh!
To #2: Why do you click any site's ads to begin with? Ads are boobie-trapped worse than the Temple of Doom – and the verification systems CHUD uses is just as old and antiquated (read: shitty).
To #3: You can be fat AND a genius (read: Rodney Dangerfield).
To #6: I can read. Some of us still have some sense (read: my user name).
To #8: Devin has made more enemies with the web community than I thought possible. So many commentators (read: everyone whose words are in a gray box) have ripped him apart for his opinions, which are wishy-washy at best. His reviews could be 100% spot-on for all I know, but how something like the latest Punisher flick can get a great score is beyond me.
(By the way, sixth attempt on the verification coming up…)
you're full of shit for saying you didn't read the article. i had to go down quite a bit to see the AICN revenue thing you pointed out. and, yeah, i'm going to have to agree about this site being on the same level (content wise) as a place like AICN. especially with all these insufferable nobodys you got posting garbage. you know, the ones with no personality. on top of that, you've got devin, who's most definitely full of personality. the problem is, he's vile when posting about news. boring. the only time he shines is in his personal articles and reviews. now, if anyone should start a blog….it should be devin.
You may be a SITE, but your contributors are BLOGGERS.
Chud doesnt have computer internet movies ads. What are you all talking about. And whose business is it anyways Hannibal
AICN is to (computer) ADS as CHUD is to (computer) AIDS. Seriously, viruses and a broken verification system and there's a complaint about losing out on revenue?
Seriously, fix the verification system.
Nick – speaking of ads and the verification system fail – where's the new site upgrade? Are you guys close?
Everyone is having problems with the verification systems #6. I would guess you're the most lucky person in the world, if you aren't having troubles, but I highly doubt it.
#4 AICN has AIDS?
More so than being a "blog," or a website, I wish CHUD was known more for it's podcast, which is fucking awesome.
I thought this was Devin's blog and we were all along for the ride… or do you not pay attention to your own site? Devin uses a news item as his personal soap box on many occasions. I really only return for the talk back, so keep it coming, as many of us recognize the real writing talent of this site resides in many of the readers. They seem to occasionally come back with some incredibly lucid counterpoints and observations. You just have to wade thru the vitriol to get there. By the who, Robin Hood is… entertaining. And the issues with the captcha are TRUE!
As if this isn't a blog-site, or is in anyway different to AICN. Hilarious that Nick thinks so. So which are you Nick, the Hutus or the Tutsi? Rofl. Didn't know Nick was fat too though. How come all these US bloggers are fat. Dun you got places to walk to or something. Does McDonalds home deliver in the US?
Did someone named "Cheese Biscuits" just call people out for posting anonymously? I hope you die, you fat fucker! At least I have to assume you're fat, who can tell since you post under a fake name too, dickhead.
And Cheese Biscuits…"throw up in my pants a little?" Are you serious? I hate it when unfunny nerds try to be clever. It just depresses me.
Lolz at #4. WTF at #10. Why. Are. You. Here? And #6. Yes, everyone's pretending to have capcha issues just to fuck with Nick. And AICN vs CHUD? AICN = "First!" CHUD = "Fuck!" = CHUD wins.
Whats at the end of the tunnel?
That Waxman lady is pretty hot. I only read CHUD and AICN, so I could care less about all the bloggers written about in that article.
Nick is too busy watching Braves games and dipshitting around with a cowboy hat on.
Do you enjoy lying? Does it make you feel good? Does it give you sad little ego a boost? Pathetic. As to the article: You are in the exact same business as AICN with even shittier ads. At least Devin seems somewhat intelligent despite being the hateful nerd he supposedly despises. Nick just seems insanely stupid.
Simple sad fact: CHUD would likely be better organized and have more working features if it used a blog format. Right now it just feels like an unsorted mush of silly pictures, silly YouTube videos, dozens of ongoing features that go nowhere, videogame news, reviews of DVDs nobody cares about and in between all of that, some really solid movie stuff. Cut the flab, structure the content and get the site back to full fighting strength. Until that happens, getting snooty about the difference between "blogs" and "sites", and sniffily noting how few of them "outdate" you, just makes CHUD look like a wounded dinosaur.
i really don't understand all the hate people have here, if you don't like it, don't have to read it. i really only have the mcp page bookmarked and will sometimes click the side links. the captcha thing IS crap, as are a lot of the things on the site these days, the dumb a day, the comics, etc. which is why i don't really read the site anymore. i miss when nick would review shit, and i liked his captions. and the site would make more money if it looked and worked differently. just read 28, he's right about a lot stuff. i hate seeing some dvd review for a movie no one cares about, as i know someone had to sit down and work towards writing something only a few people will read and appreciate. you guys have had some very good and interesting articles in the past, you can do better. maybe you don't have the time, which i understand. oh, and green on black is not appealing; didn't the site used to have green text on black before, too? can't remember. really, i feel bad for all the hate you guys get, as i used to really love the site, and i know a lot of work goes into it, but looking at this site and a site like filmdrunk, its easier to read, it's bright, it's easy to navigate, it just works better, to me, anyways, as some people clearly like this site the way it is. change the site format and focus on quality rather than quantity and you guys will do better.
Ok, so I tried to read what that was…
I have no idea who those people are (with the exception of knowles). I had never even heard of their respected websites.
So I skipped to the end, and it says "Continued in part 2 : WHO ARE THE BLOGGERS".
zuh?
NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRDS!!!
Have you guys seen Black Snake Moan? I just saw it the other night for the first time. It's really good. I might buy the soundtrack.
