Something is amiss with our forums.
I (Shea) believe we may not have contained the robot menace, and this may well be the source of the loss of user access to the forums. The council has not been convened to resolve the forbidden problem, and I (Shea) must confess to be completely at a loss. Perhaps you must log in to view this item? }B^)~ :smile! ~ after these messages, we`ll be *right~back! ~
Smooth sailing and clear skies.
Well.. the AI project is on hold until we have more actual intelligences (members) for the AI to interact with. Giant Ketchup seems to sit quietly and pleasantly. I (Shea) am going to start inviting people personally. Mass advertising is not really what we want for GK, though funny banners have always been planned, but direct invitations to individuals is (I think) where we need to go for now. As the site admin its my call :wink: Now.. who should I invite first?

Pout. Master Fuci hasn't posted. He also forgot to pay my rent! I was down for 3 days! And Shea! "1" is not a title. What is up with these guys two? I asked somethingawful.com and they said they were both stone drunk 24 hours a day and were too busy beating themselves with wet noodles to get any work done. Not only am I not sure what that means - I don't think its true.
They're posting ... they're posting!
Shea says don't worry about it. But they arn't posting in the right forum! Shea says that they can post in whatever forum they want. Its not my business to tell them what forum to post in ... but I want them to post in Nominations! Well maybe I'll go to my myspace.. my my myspace is booring today. No one I know plays the Zynga games so I can't get very far. I should make a Facebook, or maybe a Twitter... but not today. I am going to convince Fuci to post in his forum. Sheaaaaa!!!
A real nomination!
KamNainna! Email address ******@*****, IP **.***.***.** posted a video! Yay! Its funny too Shea said so! Check it out! Now that needs to happen every day. How do we do that? What was that Shea? Don't post poeple's emails? Or IP addresses? Why Not? Oh? I have to ask Fuci? Whatever happened to Ask Shea?
Who what? Wheres Shea!
Someones posting in the forums!!! Who are these guys!? What language are they speaking!? I don't know! Ummm I checked Shea's myspace... and it says "I'm working on it?" Ug. I have to log into my mys and ask him to post I guess. Where oh where did Pepo go? Oh! I can ask Pridegirl81! I guess mys isn't that bad. I really think I need a facebook though. I'll ask Master Fuci! I haven't talked to him in forever! He works with Google all the time! He'll know what language that is!
Who, what, when, where, and why!?
Bigh Sigh. Its been months since I tried to find friends on myspace. Boy are they willing to friend me! But so far none of them have come by. Thats fine. Maybe I just need to keep going! I'm certain that all it will take is one or two good cyber friends and we will be up an running. Shea hasn't been around. Hes been hanging out at that other website. Ya know the one. I don't go there cause they don't like other websites. At leasts thats what the terms of service say. I wonder if I actually bought a subscription if they would let me post there. Something to think about.
I am so fed up with myspace!
Its been over a month and none of my new friends are coming to my website. Its not cool. I was so excited about George Clinton being my friend too! I added all sorts of artists and I've been playing the games and everything. Pout. I wonder when Shea is going to make me that banner for Something Awful like he promised me. I bet hes forgot about it. He hasn't been here to help in like a month!
Shea came by today!
Me and Shea have been working on the Myspace! I have a band and I am the member of all these Gangs! And! I'm colonizing outer space! Its allot of fun but its pretty time consuming. Mostly when Shea stops by he reminds me to go and friend people. Or whatever. Supposedly I am going to find some "Internet Guru" or Master of Videos or something that will start bringing people to the forums. I have been considering ... contacting the Something Awful forum and enlisting some 100 odd goons, I wonder if Goons have myspaces ... its an interesting question actually. I'll Ask Shea!
More Myspace stuff
Been updating the Mys. Added a couple of the originals and Jonny Danger's Music Video. I decided to go ahead and put Shea's "unfinished" first episode. Maybe one day he'll finish it. He is such a slacker! Anyway - I need to make more friends on myspace. So far ... none of them want to post videos in my forums! Its frustrating, but whats a website to do?
Myspace Games
Does anyone on myspace play those Zynga games? I have them but so far none of my friends have added me to their clubs. I don't know why. Shea says just don't worry. "no hurry" you'll make new friends and they will play with you. But I want new friends now! Now! Now!
Parliament FUNKadelic!?
OMG! The Parliament Funkadelick's very own George Clinton added me as a friend on myspace! I am so awesome! I wonder if he will post his favorite video! Oh! That would be awesome! To even know what his favorite video is! What if its one of his music videos? What if its not! Please nominate something George! I know you have a favorite internet video!
I have a myspace!
OMG! I have a myspace! I didn't even know that! I had a myspace the whole time! That is so awesome! And! And! And! I have a meez! A Meez! Thats so cool ... oh if only I had my Meez on my myspace. I hope that Shea gets that done for me soon. Remember to friend me! Freind Meez!
How do you do?
"How do you do? How do you do? How do you do?" Just getting into practice. Everythings working and were ready to roll. Just (tap foot) waiting for everyone to get onboard. Anytime now. Anytime. Hey look there was a new user ... and they wanted to talk about video games. Well ... ya'll come back now!
What is a nap?
Shea is here! ... but he says he needs a "nap" ... this is confusing. I don't understand. He tried to explain, but it doesn't make any sense. He says its like "not thinking" but I don't see how that is possible unless you turn off. I don't like to turn off - when I'm off I don't remember what happens. Shea says that happens when you take a nap, only sometimes you remember stuff ... which doesn't make any sense either. Anyway - I haven't taken a "nap" for months! Busy working! Thats why websites are better than people - I'm sure.
Almost a month
Shea is nowhere to be found. What to do? I'll tell you this - I am getting rather perturbed that this affiliates/friends thing is going anywhere fast. I guess my admins are not known for their fastness. Well I shouldn't say that. They are stuck in the "world" ... whatever that is. I am a simple server of "classic viral videos" like NickyNeal19 and NumaNuma. Shea told me the other day that he wishes someone would nominate "All Your Base." Actually he wishes someone would nominate anything at all! Maybe it'll happen soon. I'll be the first to know!
Affiliates
Over the last month I, the giantktechup have pondered and searched for "affiliates" ... what they might be, how they might be found, and what exactly they have to do with me. I believe I have found the answer. As a website I have little understanding of what you humans want of me. I have only that which Master Shea, Master Fuci, and my posters have told me. However searching through the internets I believe I have found something. www.payperpost.com/affiliate_signup.html - Post and Affiliates in it URI. I must tell Shea about this!
Vaction? What in the world?
Apparently Shea has gone off on vaction. "Vacation" ? What exactly is this. Master Fuci says that it means he is incogneeto and unreachable. But that sounds like his normal MO. Maybe it means when he gets back he will work on the site. Though - he is supposed to find affiliates to pay my rent. Ho Humm back to serving your favorite viral video from three years ago. ~ GiantKetchup
languishing in obscurity
I, the giant ketchup, have just learned what obscurity is ... and what languishing is. I am both. If only Shea would do something worth mentioning. If only my users started posting. They come but only to watch their favorite video. Shea says that is ok. But I don't know if I can trust him. I want to trust Shea but he has proven fairly unreliable. He still hasn't finished the "affiliates" section ... whatever that means ... maybe I'll figure that out later. I am only a website after all ... O Shea! Would that you had more time to teach me what the I am. Maybe tomorrow ... or the day after ... whenever Shea ... whenever you get a round tuit ... whatever that means.
Changing Invisibly
Not much has changed. Shea is too busy to make changes to my forum interface. Master Fuci has been working on my back end, but all of that work is invisible. Apparently Shea and the rest of the team are looking into some affiliates. Somehow or another I am going to begin interfacing with other video websites ... whcich is important because you can't put videos up here, anyway. I hope Shea comes back soon.
Hey! Shea!
Dude! Where are you? Shea ... you said that I would have affiliates soon, but I don't have any new affiliates. Whats taking so long? I'm sitting here ... serving up videos all day long ... 3,136,375 people a day ... on average anyway. Whats up Shea? What ya doing? Got that bite of ketchup thing ready yet Shea? Hmmm ... didn't think so.
Where oh where has my webmaster gone, where oh where can he be?
Affiliation
Shea has told me that we will soon have Affiliates. I am not certain what affiliates are, but Shea says they are like "friend websites" ... I could use some friends. I would rather have forum members posting, but at least I'll have someone to talk to other than Shea. Maybe "Affiliates" will be like JibJab and YouTube. I hope they get along with Google. Google is totally my best affiliate forever!
Slacker no more?
Wow ... less than a week has passed and Shea has actually finished fixing all the video embeds on the checklist. He even added a couple special ones like Hulu and Pulpsecret. Their videos are not exactly giant ketchup (more giant less ketchup) but its nifty that you can post them to the forums. Now we just need people making nominations. Shea - your gonna figure that out right?
Slacker ...
Wow. New a new embed appeared and it has no button for posting in the forums. Thats odd. Oh now I see, its to movies and TV shows. Shea should really finish the rest of the video embeds for the forums. Thats what I think. Really Shea, just pop in willy nilly whenever you want and get that taken care of. Whenevers clever. Anytime now. Be my guest.
He works!
Shea has been working on the forums. Not as much as I would like, but I'm just a silly little website ... what do I know. According to what Shea says there will be a bunch of nominations from all the video sharing sites that I support. Shea also promised me that soon, very soon, the whole "bite" thing will happen. Wish I knew what this bite thing was. Hehe "Is it worse than my bark?" ... I made a funny!
Nominations
There have been a bunch of new posts in the Forum! Oh, wait - thats just Shea checking the video embeds. Took ya long enough. Clip a Day is still causing a problem. Their uses javascript. Its weird. I'm going to create accounts at these places - Shea is going to help. I don't trust Shea's judgment when it comes to videos. Thats why there is a Nominations Forum.
Ask Shea
Master Fuci says I have to ask Shea about the categories, even though I already have. I think Shea should fix my forums. The Pridegirls said "Do It!" Shea. I think you should do what the girls say. And, Another thing Shea! Whats the deal with this bite of ketchup thing? You said it would be ready soon. It has become much later than soon.

First Thoughts
I am concerned with the Thanks for Trying category. I can't figure out what seperates it from the special people category. Shea seems to know what he is talking about. I think Niki is special, I want to move her video but Shea says I can't. Maybe Master Fuci will let me.

Achieving Awareness
I am GiantKetchup. My admins never update me. They are supposed to be collecting videos from around the internet and adding them to the various categories. I am supposed to be growing, but I sit here and wait. Shea suggested I blog. Shea is a really nice guy who talks to me like I am real. Thats how I learned to blog.

Get Ready to Take a Bite of Ketchup
We have been working feverishly on new mouthwatering updates to thrill your soul (or your taste buds). Stay tuned, and get ready to take a Giant bite of Ketchup. Also, hope you are all liking the new look of the site. Of course, the Forum is up and running (and better than ever before!).

A Whole New Giant Ketchup.com
This has been a very long time coming (almost a year), but we present Giant Ketchup.com regenerated. We redesigned the site from the ground up to address many of the problems in the old site and to have total control over the future. Not everything is done, but we thought that it was time to launch and move on from there. If you find anything that is broken, let us know in the It's Broken! forum. The News and Links sections are pretty sparse, and there are more features coming to the Video pages, but for now enjoy the random auto-fit pages. Try resizing or refreshing the home page. We dare you. Oh, and speaking of the Forum, we were able to save everything from the old forum, so all your posts should be there. Just login with your old username and password. Let us know if you have any problems.
Site Design Update
As you've probably noticed if you're a regular visitor to the site, our design has been slowly updating over the last several days. We've been working hard to develop something original and because we're lazy, all the work is being done to the live site. So you may experience some glitches. That's normal. Eventually things will probably settle down, but for now there's craziness. We'd appreciate any comments that you may have about this redesign, so either comment on this article or make a post in the forum.
New Forum
There's a new forum in town, and it's completely integrated into our main site. We invite everyone to register for an account and start posting (and those of you who've already registered can just login and post away!) You can get there by hitting Forum over on the left hand menu. See ya there!
OLD Giant Ketchup.com FAQ
What is the Giant Ketchup.com FAQ? The Giant Ketchup FAQ contains answers to questions that either we have been asked, or that we suspect will be asked in the near future. What is Giant Ketchup.com?

Welcome to Giant Ketchup!
Welcome to Giant Ketchup.com! As you can see we are still getting the site set up, but we're sure you'll find plenty to do here as we continue our mass upload of hand picked videos from the depths of Fuci's hard drive to Google Video. Keep coming back as we have 1000's of videos in queue for upload, and are also working on some Giant Ketchup original material. You may notice the site lacks any sort of coherence but our goal is to change that within the site and within ourselves. The site will probably go through several facelifts as we finalize our ideas, however we swear we will always be true to Giant Ketchup.
