Failing At The Internets

Re: Today's news about Realms of Fantasy. It's been a while since I've had occasion to visit the RoF homepage, but you know?

Dear Realms of Fantasy fans:

We apologize for our extremely outdated site. The magazine is still going strong and is better than ever. We are working on a new and much improved design for the website and hope to have it up and running this summer. In the meantime, the Forums are still operational and you can still access the Subscription and Guidelines areas. Please be patient—we know you are going to love the new site!

Inside this issue

Look, Even My Website Is Currently Out Of Date...

... but I'm a one person operation, and sorry, but my classes and my writing come first. (grin)

BUT, in 2009, couldn't they at least find some fanboy intern who keep the pages even somewhat up to date? This irks me, because it's not fair to the authors.

It's as bad as if a major anthology still hasn't gotten around to doing a major print run even though the book was launched way back on 15 August 2008. Seriously.

Yes, as mkhobson so eloquently put it once: "I'm really getting tired of the chance to win Eragon's sword. Did anyone ever win that f****ng thing??" They certainly could have done a bit more on the Internet side of things. Hard to see a business plan these days that ignores that.

And yes, my preorder of a certain major anthology was canceled by Amazon months ago. Who knows when I'll have a chance to buy it?

Yeah, that certain major anthology is really annoying the heck out of me...and now you can't pre-order it?????!!!

WTF????

[dr-phil-physics.livejournal.com]

Well, to be fair to Amazon, they don't want to give people false expectations -- especially as they'd gone past three previous expected release dates. Fool me once..., etc.

Not that we want to mention that certain anthology by name, lest we embarrass them...
