Credit is better than money. Probably.
Ideas are like everyone’s penis but mine. Sometimes they just don’t work.
Last week I suggested we collaborate on a daily post to SugarHive. I thought a few hundred of us could knock out a great article each day and really get things moving. The silence which greeted the idea was deafening (aside from Ms. Kitka who’s clearly cuter and smarter than the rest of you - which I say despite never having met, or KitKat‘d her, which, given her name I could probably do)
So I’m going to follow the example laid down by parents everywhere and bribe you lazy fuckers. From now on, anyone who emails me a link to a new article they’ve written at SugarHive will get two things in return.
- A link from/credit on the SugarHive homepage lasting a day.
- A link to their site/blog/favorite charity and credit in a post here at SugarBank (you will earn the official title ‘Hero of the (Sexual) Revolution’)
In its first 16 days SugarHive has generated over 40,000 pageviews. That can only grow when there’s, you know - stuff to actually read up there. If you submit an article, a lot of cool people will find your site and recognize your rockstar status.
What are the rules?
- The article has to be article length (it’s not fixed but think 300 words plus). If it’s too short it’s a stub and it doesn’t count.
- The article has to be original - no cutting and pasting from Wikipedia, or "Jimbo’s Digital ‘How to Fuck Cows’ Guide". Cheaters will be bukkaked on.
- You can write about anything you want, but it has to be relevant to the sexual theme of the wiki. Want to write about Jack Nicholson? Fine - just make sure it’s all about his sex scenes and who he puts his postman in.
You can write a new piece, and get linked, every day if you like. You can even write an article about your own website. Could this be any easier?
No. So c’mon, make my nipples hard let’s go…
Some of us have had shit happen over the past couple weeks…check my change log, it’s lack of time, not lack of desire.
Rich,
I never meant to suggest nothing was happening. I’m just keen to stimulate even more activity. I owe all current posters sincere thanks and look forward to a time where we can all visit SugarHive and be surprized at cool unanticipated additions.
If you’ve posted to SugarHive already and think you’ve added something which deserves credit, let me know and you’ll get it.
Cheers,
Sam.
I can try and write something about sex in Japan if you are interested
Always interested JJ. Find a slot for an article (or start a new section is need be) and let me know.
Cheers,
Sam.
I have started a Japan section. Hope it is ok. I will try to refine and update it more.

JJ - looking good, thanks for the tip and let me know when it’s ready to be talked about.
Cheers,
Sam.
Thanks sugar-darling,
I was pitching SugarHive in the elevator at work the other day… I had told a coworker that the reason I was looking tired was because I was dreaming of SugarHive the night before. I said “sugar-hive-dot-org” at least 8 times before leaving the elevator. I bet every diplomat in my building is now going to check it out!
Thanks for setting up some guidelines to follow.
Yours,
Kitka
nah, i just fill in what i can when i can - i was just a lil cranky when i wrote that.
though that does bring to mind an example of why the “link a day” experiment didn’t work - i imagine i’m not the only one who just fills in what they can where they can, which makes any attempt to direct the evolution a bit scattershot.
It’s okay rich, Cranky’s fine. I’m just keen to find easy ways to make the progress tangible. There’s a lot going on and the way you’re contribution is exactly what we need. The more people who do a little the better.
I have been brainstorming a project which might work collaboratively and be relatively easy to do.
Just keep doing what you’re doing and don’t be afraid to ammend as well as add. In a year we’ll be amazed at how big and useful SugarHive’s become I know.
I don’t get a link for a day? I promise I will write more
You didn’t email me JJ. I’ll highlight your posting today, just email me directly in future. It’s easy. Thanks for all your help.
