As you can certainly tell, OV has gone through some extensive changes. While the partnership with Bloguin alleviated much of the work for us (and when I say "us", I mean dmick89. He is the one that does nearly everything behind the scenes, and OV simply wouldn't exist without his leadership), it introduced other problems. Chief among them were the …
The first annual OV MLB Team Auction
At the Obstructed View headquarters last night in Damascus (office space is pretty cheap right now), GW, Myles, Berselius, Aisle424 and myself got together to take part in an auction. The auction was Myles's and GW's idea so we have to them thank for it. We each had $126 and went through all 30 teams in auction format. We had …
Review of baseball themed slots game “hot shot”
Playing online casino games is a fantastic way to pass the time while at home, this is because all you need some sort of device such as a phone, tablet or computer. Once you have these you can play any number of different casino games as most on my casinos have hundreds to choose from. One of the most popular …
Cubs free agent contest
I'll just say right now that there is nothing to win, but bragging rights. So if you're someone wanting to win something, well, we can give you a Kyuji Fujikawa bobblehead and that's it. Seriously, if you really want the bobblehead, we'll send it along. So if that's incentive, great. Otherwise, there is none. It's a free agent contest, but …
New Server
After weeks of problems, we've moved to a new host. All of you will have to hit the lost password on the sidebar to reset your password. Apologies for the problems we've had in recent weeks.
Server Migration Today
Just a heads up that Hostgator, our web host, is migrating us to a newer and better server today. There could be some downtime, but there should not be a lot of it. This post will self-destruct once we are on the new server.
OV Forum Update
When we first started our forum we used a plugin that didn't end up working well with a later theme we used so we switched to bbpress. In the process, about 2500 posts were lost, which has always bugged me. I keep Another Cubs Blog around because it's content that myself and others spent a great deal of time putting …
Obstructed View Projections Contest Results
Prior to the start of the season we set up an over/under projections contest. It was rather extensive so fewer people than we'd hoped entered the contest. Plus, there aren't all that many people who are dying to have an Obstructed View t-shirt. There just aren't. Really, trust us. It was a long survey. We used 11 position players and …
Obstructed View is now responsive
If there's been one thing about our move to WordPress that has irritated us the most, it's the lack of mobile options. There are several, but each comes with their drawbacks. Most recently we learned there were some issues with the mobile theme we were using. It wasn't anything major, but enough of an issue that something had to be …
Because We Have To
The winner of the Obstructed View Unofficially Official 2013 Chicago Cubs Slogan* Contest has been chosen. There were so many great entries, in a way you are all winners, but in a more accurate way, there was only the one winner. By virtue of a plurality of the popular vote by our readers (and possibly members of their families), the …
