Launched a new site last night!

Finally, Walt and I launched PointBuzz last night. The premise is simple: I don't have the desire to maintain a ton of content, and would rather write code, while Walt likes to produce content. So we combined Virtual Midway and Guide to The Point into PointBuzz. It is, without question, the greatest unofficial Cedar Point site ever created.

I'm excited about it. I can't take a ton of credit for it because Walt's the insane one to cover everything at Cedar Point. What I find neat is that the underlying code is serving data so damn fast. Really top notch! The same code base has been serving CoasterBuzz for awhile, so it's what I expected. I guess the excitement just comes from letting GTTP go for the last two or three years.

For you geeks, obviously POP Forums is running the forum and underlying permissions system. CliqueSite® Content is my CMS that has been evolving in .NET since 2001 or so. It's far from perfect, but it performs really well and I'm happy with it. I always wanted to sell the system, but I've not been able to make it easy enough to use so that John Q. Codemonkey could get the bits and make it go. Hell, half the time I'm not sure when I put up a new site with it!

At least I've got the registered trademark. :)
