As you'll probably have noticed the big weird pictures of happy people and dolphins have gone, I killed them. Well removed the pictures so don't go calling the cops on me just yet.

Thanks to uberYogi there are some spanking new pictures to replace the squeeky little blighters (the dolphins not the happy people).

So... A not so wise man once said "I'm shutting down Face Plant because people don't use it and I don't have time to keep it running". Well he was wrong, Face Plant is back and while I still don't have loads of time, I do have enough to run Face Plant. I did feel really bad when closing Face Plant before and got a bunch of great supportive comments which made me think and decide to bring the site back.

Now though as you can tell, its all changed. Face Plant is now more of a social website where everyone has a personal profile as well as loads of extra stuff that I couldn't bring to the old Face Plant. Some features will be added as the site picks up in members because it costs quite a bit and I'd like to make sure the new features get used.

SO if you are logged into the website and you click something that says "Not registered" this doesn't mean you, this means I haven't bought it yet and is a future feature. I'll also let you all decide which order the features come in.

Also, Face Plant won't just be snowboarding, its going to be a whole bunch of board sports, so give your suggestions of which sports should be dealt with and I'll get them added.

Well I hope you enjoy the new website  and make good use of the features. Any feedback/suggestions you have can go in any of my blogs, in the feedback page or even on the forums.

Hello Face Plant members!

This is uberYogi (resident artist) speaking to you for the first time since the re-vamp of Face Plant. I hope your all well.

Well I was thinking what I should say in my first post, however before I could come up with anything interesting, Bazajaytee jumped on me and twisted my ear until I promised to write somthing today. What follows is the daily rambelings of frustrated artist who is bored with his job and has let his mind wonder into the realms of insanity.

With that introduction out of the way, I would like to declare todays thought:

Lemmings belive they are born with invisible hangliders

So lets discuss

We all know that lemmings like to throw themselves off the top of cliffs, but have we ever really asked why?

Sure we could jump to the obvious answers like "They got married too young", "They work for the anti-christ" or "They suddenly realise the bleak obserdity of our meaningless lives"

But today I came up with a more logical answer. It occurd to me that lemmings (from an early age) have the mis-belief that they were born with the ability to fly. Looking at themselves in a mirror should have put an end to this thought, having no wings or even feathers about their person. However, my recent observations of the little critters has lead me to the conculsion that lemmings belive that they each posses an invisible hanglider, that they carry with them.

Now you may scoff and call me a loony, but if you look closely as the face of a lemming before he (or she) leaps from the top of a cliff, you will notice a little smile on their face, and a glint of excitment in their eye. This can only be put down to the fact that they are happy about what they are doing. Further more, when they take this mighty leap, they always stretch out their arms as if to take hold of a control bar. So strong is this belief that even when a group of lemmings decide to all go on a hangliding adventure together, they will leap off the grassy hill side oblivious to the fact that their friends in front have plumeted downwards before them.

Ultimately of course these furry little fellows are doomed to smash into the waiting rocks bellow.

But dont be too sad. Take solice in the fact that until the point they are dashed into oblivion, they are the happiest animals in the world. Beliving that they are soaring high through the crystal clear air, and enjoying life free and un-ecombered.

Would that we could share this freedom in our day-today lives.

So there you have it. My first post. I hope you enjoyed my little thought of the day. If you have any comments please feel free to add them here.

Next time I will attempt to stear towards a more saine conversation, possibley relating too snowboarding No promises though!!!

So I've had the question, why did you close Face Plant and then bring it back again?

Well I originally closed the site because it wasn't where I wanted it to be or doing what I wanted it to do. The old software that I used was called Postnuke, and for the longest time they promised an update to it which would bring new features. This tuned up just after I decided to close the site so I went to upgrade it and POW, it broke the whole website. So I thought "fuck it" and shut it down early.

Another bit of software was on the books to try as well but I never got round to it, since Postnuke broke the site BIG TIME, I thought why not. The site thats here now is the result and is based off software called Dolphin and forum software called Orca. Thats why you'll see mention of fishy things on the site for a while

Another thing I want from Face Plant is to be self sufficient, having members providing interesting information about their favourite sports and themselves. To form groups and friendships. To basically have a good time with people who enjoy the same things you do. More sports will be added to the site so be sure to spread the word that Face Plant is the extreme sports website to go to.
