Interviews: Ask Fark Founder Drew Curtis a Question 127
For many, the day would not be complete without checking Fark.com for the latest funny or weird news. Inspired by the numerous links to interesting news stories he'd send to friends every morning, Drew Curtis created Fark in 1999. By 2009 it was one of the top 100 English language websites with 3-4 million unique visitors, and 60 million page views per month. Recently Drew has been in the news after he announced that he was running for governor in his home state of Kentucky with his wife Heather as his running mate. Calling himself an independent "citizen candidate," the campaign website says: "We have a theory that we’re about to see a huge change in how elections and politics work. Across the country, we have seen regular citizens stepping up and challenging the status quo built by political parties and career politicians. They have been getting closer and closer to victory and, here in Kentucky, we believe we have a chance to win and break the political party stronghold for good." We'll be checking back in with Drew as the race heats up, but for now he's agreed to answer any questions you may have. As usual, ask as many as you'd like, but please, one per post.

Re:Improving photoshop contests (Score:1)
I can tell you why I left. In my day I was a major contributor to their Photoshop contests. I submitted thousands of entries and had well over 100 wins. What happened was a steady decline of the old users, many of whom were very prolific, and had skills beyond the realm of Photoshop. You see, the contests on Fark are really only part of the equation. Fark doesn't track stats like votes, win percentages, etc. For that, we needed a third party stat tracking site. There were several such places over the years. First there was the Photoshop Monitor, then the Scrutinizer, and finally a site called Misfit Squirrels. They only lasted as long as their owner's interest, and relied on certain consistencies in Fark code. When Drew disastrously tried to revamp the contests by giving users the option to vote either "best" or "funniest", he broke stat tracker's ability to count entries. The guy running the other site wasn't able to recode to fix things, and even when Drew reverted the changes to the system some months later, it did not bring the stat tracking back online.
I'm not sure Drew ever fully understood the lightning he had captured with his site's structure for contests. To date, I have not encountered a similar playground, though there are many imitators. He probably still doesn't realize that without stats, the contests are fleeting, and the hard work spent making a quality image is wasted if it's so ephemeral. Even if Drew were to wake up and add this long sought after feature of stat tracking, a number of other things have changed with regards to the moderation policies of the site. It's not a safe place for my kind to play any more. Tons of things are verboten, and I don't feel like asking their mods for permission every time I want to push the envelope. These days, I get my image editing kicks elsewhere. While nothing will ever truly compare to the thrill of crafting a picture for Fark and having it win, I sadly have to turn away from the old place and tell myself that the past is only a memory.
Re:Improving photoshop contests (Score:2)
If it was actually a meaningful contest, voting wouldn't be possible until *after* entries had closed, and the entries would be shown in a random order to every potential voter. And if that happened, I'd probably start entering regularly again. As-is, the thing that made me sign up for Fark almost 12 years ago is something I almost never participate in or even bother to look at any more.

Culture Change (Score:5, Interesting)
Drew,
There was a time when Fark Boobies links were mixed in with news links. Then it became its own tab. Then it was reborn as "Foobies"-- a wholly separate site. More recently, a strict "Anti-Misogyny" standard on Fark discussions was implemented which included the dis-allowance of the use of the word "rape" except in the academic sense, dis-allowing the use of demeaning terms in describing women, and suggesting that a female victim of a crime was somehow asking to be victimized.
Examples of dis-allowed uses include the meme "40 lbs. Box of Rape" (http://goo.gl/XipVh1), references to the Whoopi Goldberg differentiation between "rape" and "rape rape" (http://goo.gl/u3YDuW), and Todd Akin's "legitimate rape" gaffe (http://goo.gl/dyxpy).
To say that the change was met with disdain would be an understatement. The ensuing threads were filled with battles back and forth between those who assert that such references and jocularity is proof a genuine hatred of women (misogyny) while others assert that lumping together edgy attempts at comedy with the genuine hatred of women is prejudicial and incredibly offensive.
Given Fark's historic culture of pushing/punching the boundaries of political correctness (see: "Welcome to Fark" memes) where almost nothing is so sacred that it cannot be joked about (see: "Window seat, please" memes), why was this decision made? Why were so many genuinely non-misogynistic actions/comments/memes lumped in with that term?
My partner and I have discussed the change at length. We're both fans of audacity humor, so we actually "get a kick out of the replies" (http://goo.gl/a6xyao). Together, we came up with the following potential rationales. Which did we get right? Which didn't we?
1. I got older and my tastes have changed. I don't want to run a site that goes counter to my own sensibilities.
2. I received pressure from external organizations (other sites, special interests, advertisers).
3. I want to grow the site to be more inclusive of people who would be offended by such jokes.
4. I'm running for public office and Fark.com, if not cleaned up, would destroy my campaign.
5. I've received overwhelming negative feedback regarding the state of Fark comments and the numbers supporting a change greatly outnumber those who didn't like the change.
6. I actually believe that everyone who jokes about women hates women and they should be stopped.

Soon after, animal rights organizations and organic growers around the world applaud a the declaration.

While I haven't used Fark regularly for years now, I do have some friends from my time there that are active participants, and my understanding from them and other sources [slashdot.org] is that the posting standards on Fark have gotten even stricter. How much of the moderation standards are due to your personal views (or views of your moderators), how much due to legal concerns, and how much due to member concerns (trolling/stalking/aggravation, keeping various wordfilters to make it more SFW, etc.).
