A Message from OhBoyObama.com

Posted June 1st, 2008 by Ryan

First, thank you to everyone who has made this site skyrocket in popularity. We need you to continue to spread the word so that this truly becomes a major voice in the campaign. Please promote the site using the Share button on the right of the screen as well as promote all of the articles that have been written over the past week about the site.

Second, we take your input very seriously. We are looking into adding a message board. We are also figuring out ways to make sure the site guards against inappropriate content and/or impostors as well as eliminates anyone who overwhelmingly votes down ideas.

Finally, we want to be abundantly clear that this site is not affiliated with the Obama campaign. We are enthusiastic volunteers only.

If you have any input, please e-mail me at ryan at frionagroup dot com or use the contact page.

Gettin' rid of some of bush's deadwood cronies and muddled treasury officials would sure create more confidence in the US and here (australia). .what a dive in the Dow after Poulson spoke his piece on how they didn't want to buy anymore toxic housing debt. What a great way to demolish an admittedly shaky floor under the housing market and stuff up more financial institutions; not to forget the knock-on effect in all the inter-connected industries. Why not Permanently ban naked, short-selling? Or would it put too much pressure on the Market's bottom feeders? Oz Obamite, Mindlesley.

When will Barack stand up and say Clark was right in what he said? To throw someone under the bus for telling the truth lacks leadership both wthin the party and for those who might want to change. Forget the lipstick garbage and get back to real hard factual politics which everyone is looking for in a leader

Great site, but...

man, I wouldn't have gone with that name. You may be aware that the african american community don't much like the "boy" comment.

I wish you the best of luck! Obama 08!

We have a couple of contacts in the campaign who are aware of the site. Whether they passed it on to those who something like this would matter to, we can't know for sure.

But the real answer to your question is that this site needs to get more active and bring in more supporters and then the campaign will not be able to help but take interest. Please do everything you can to get this site written up in blogs, news media, etc. Thanks for the question.

Re: Content Order/Site Suggestions

Ryan 24 weeks 1 day 16 hours 36 min ago

We originally had Top365days as the default view, which meant that the scoops with the all-time highest votes were always on top. We changed it due to a user request, because the site looked static unless one dug through all of the scoops, and because some of the newly submitted ideas were fantastic but weren't getting traction just because they had a low vote already. You can always click Top7days, Top30days, or Top365 days to sort it however you like and perhaps we'll change it again in the future.

We may also implement a comments section in the future. Until then, feel free to post comments here or e-mail them to me at the e-mail address above.

Thank you for contributing.

Content Order/Site Suggestions

YellerDog 24 weeks 1 day 18 hours 33 min ago

It seems to me that there should be a way to order messages by the number of votes they receive. You know, the most +votes come to the top.

Also it seems that we need a site comment section for ideas such as this and any other business that comes up about the site itself.

This is a fun site. Thanks for the work.
