LOLSaints

Due to lack of time/resources, we've had a few false starts for posting new saints in the past year or so, and that's not fun for anyone!

In order to alleviate some pressure of getting new saints posted on a regular basis, we're going to try to stick to a schedule of posting an new saint every Tuesday around 8:00 a.m. CST (for simplicity's sake). Wish us luck!

...and, because of this, I've disabled the ability for people to create their own user accounts on this website, probably permanently. However, anyone who has an active user account can still log in, post new saint images, and do anything they could do previously.

The only thing this changes is the ability for new users to be able to create their own accounts—instead of that, they will need to email us first (use the 'Contact' page). Ah well...

Sorry for the recent lack of new saints—especially at such a wonderful time of the year! We'll be back at it again in the new year, with a refreshed look, an easier saint submission process, and much, much more!

I'm getting back in gear for another long run of new LOLSaints (sorry I've been so lax lately!).

As part of this operation, I'm deleting more than 3,000 spam accounts that have popped up on LOLSaints.com since about a year ago. I'm very sorry if your (legitimate) account was also deleted, but you can simply register a new account if that was the case...

Thanks, and we'll see you around!

In lieu of a saint being posted today, we have two links for those looking for even more Catholic fun in their daily browsing habits:

• Not Said by Jesus - a fun collection of sayings NOT said by Jesus, but typically the opposite of what Jesus would say.
• Catholic Car Wash - a new video podcast by LOLSaints.com's founder, Jeff Geerling, over on Life is a Prayer.com

Have a blessed Thursday, and see you next time!

Some crazy Cannonball lady has opened up voting for the 2010 Cannonballs...

Do you want to see more LOLSaints? Do you think we've been slacking around here a little bit? Let your voice be heard!

Vote for LOLSaints in the "Blog that Needs to be Updated More Often" category in the 2010 Cannonball Awards!

[Edit: We have now surpassed 2,000... I'm guessing there are a lot of robots in here :D]

We have surpassed 1,000 registered users on LOLSaints.com, but about half of them seem to be spambots. I don't know what to do to prevent them from registering; I've tried using spam services, and even some Javascript methods.

It looks like there are human beings somewhere creating spam accounts on this site; they're not all from the same IP address, though, so it's hard to track :(
