Super TOP SECRET Update
So hey there Icon Fanatics... most of you know we've been working on something super secret for the past, well... several months actually. It's a long story, and I'll share more in a couple weeks. I guess I'll give you a small bit of info on what's up though to keep your whistle whet to tide you over until then.
Without further ado, I'm gonna spill it: We're working on a new game. I can't tell you what the game is about, what it does, or how it's played. But I can tell you that if you like IconBuffet, you're probably going to love this. I hope... if you don't then we've made a tragic mistake. Doh!
I can tell you more in a couple weeks.
Over the next week or two, I'm going to slowly reveal a few details about the game so we can you up to speed before we launch it. We're going to really need our IconBuffet peeps to help us out — be early adopters as it would be — to aid us in getting the kinks worked out. So stay tuned here for the latest. I can't wait to tell you more.

As for member numbers, I'm afraid it's not going to work that way. ; )

Are you sure you want me in on this thing? I'm renowned nation-wide for finding bugs in software. Not the small, easily squashed ones either; I'm talking about the hulking, server smacking ones.
I'm looking forward to it. ;)

The blood of a beta-tester flows through my veins like rubber pants. The pants call to me! Do not deny the pants!
JBVisions on Sep 27, 2007
Sounds fun but it seems to be having a big effect on this place, like no new sets. I'd hate to see the Buffet collapse due to apathy while all efforts are focussed on the new thing.
soprano on Sep 27, 2007
@josh: Make me #7, then. (After the 6 chefs, of course.)
laulena on Sep 27, 2007
suh-weeeeeeet!keep us posted!

I agree with JBVisions.
New game page = less time for New IB icons, as we are already experiencing.
Don´t let that to happen, chefs.
Nell on Sep 27, 2007
Yay! I can't wait to see it.
ChickAzul on Sep 27, 2007
ok I'm curious now :D

Tamashii, I'm jealous of your blood.
Josh, if you give a mouse a teaser, he's gonna want some screenshots.
Less secrets, more screenshots. How can I even begin to buy shares of your company without some sort of insider tips?
xentek on Sep 28, 2007
Can't wait! I think the game aspect of this site gives its charm.
tommythewolfboy on Sep 28, 2007
Sounds like fun. More than happy to help test it.
MrDee on Sep 28, 2007

Psy2k on Sep 28, 2007
We can't wait to hear more, Josh :)

I agree with JBVisions and danielsemper.

Can't wait!
lostinxlation on Sep 28, 2007
Kinks? What? If there are kinks, I am there.
rossanyl on Sep 28, 2007
I would agree with JBVision except that I don't have token or stamps to play as much as I would like around here anymore. So a new game while waiting for token/stamps is a great idea (for me) :)

I'm with them. ;)
1) Sounds great (maybe... the teasers are such a tease!)
2) Sign me up (I'm all about the early adopting)
3) Don't let IB die as a result of this new thing (unless it's icon-related and replaces IB)
gswd on Sep 28, 2007
Ok. First it was IB. Then IB 2.0. Now something completly different! Have I fallen into the land of Monty Python? Since IB 2.0 launched we were told that new "for sale" icons would be produced, and they weren't. (at least none that I could find/afford) We have been told that there were special things for VIPs, that never saw the light of day. There have been numerous server issues for long periods of time. For now, I would appreciate learning to fly in an air-eo-plane, stop asking me to jump on the desk and flap my arms. If you fix what's broken, and honor your promises, I wouldn't be so upset. Will I look at this "new thing"? Sure, probably. Just because I like seeing what other people are doing, and I have no life to speak of.
Yes, thats right. I'm a bitter old "passing of air from a nether region of the human body"!

You realize that IB is not going to be affected don't you? First there was firewheel. Then there was IB, then BlinkSale, then IB 2.0.... you really think that another project is going to destroy everything they've already created?
Think people!

Chicken Littles -1
