MilkandCookies Network FAQ's dashboard

The Pie Board is a place for MilkandCookies users to talk about pie.

What is pie? It's a delicious treat with a crust and a filling. Now if that isn't a universal metaphor, then what is?

The Pie Board is not a chat room, a private message center, a forum or a bug report form. It's not even a tag board, really. It's just a place to express your love of pie.

By default, the Search form is set to 'any word' and 'sort by relevence'.

monkey robot

This search will return links containing either "robot" or "monkey". Links containing both words wil list before links only containing one of the words. Word order is not factored into the results.

There are two other options available. Search 'sort by date' and search 'phrase'.

Sorting by date will display the most current links at the top, regardless of relevance. To sort by date, simply choose the sort by date option and resubmit your query.

Searching by 'phrase' rejects links which do not contain the exact phrase.

"monkey robot"

This search -- note the quotes -- will not return a link with the description or title containing "your monkey is a robot". Even though both words appear in the link, it does not match the exact phase "monkey robot". Also note that this is not a substring search, so it will not match against "monkey robots".

You can use a combination of phrase and word searching.

"this phrase" word
"this phrase" "another phrase"

In order to give posting to MilkandCookies a more exciting feel, we created a page where links can go live. But before they make it to the front page and start accruing points, they have to pass moderation.

When a moderator blesses a link it becomes part if the main database and becomes visible on the front page. Links that are really good may be associated with Headlines (read: points galore!).

The only requirement for submitting links is that you are a member. Though there is currently a three day waiting period before a new member can submit a link. This was necessary to avoid increasing amounts of spam links.

Links may be removed at our discretion and we can not promise that unblessed links will be kept current. Only the strong survive.

Have fun and post those sweet links you have been dying to share. ;)

We only offer link exchanges with other blogs. All blogs we exchange links with must meet the requirements of all other links. Most notably, we do not link to sites with porn, popup ads, et al. Check out the complete list for more details.

Once we have have determined that a site is safe for us to link to, we add them to a whitelist of approved sites. When one of those sites sends enough traffic to MilkandCookies.com (or any of the other sites), it shows up on the Top Referers. This list is updated regularly throughout the day, and is displayed in the sidebar of every page.

This same whitelist is used with all the sites on the MilkandCookies Network: DevilDucky, PistolWimp, and SugarJar. So getting approved on MilkandCookies automatically approves your for all our sites. However, each of our sites tallies their own trade traffic independently, meaning that links to PistolWimp will not effect listings on DevilDucky.

When linking to us, you can also use our graphics. For more info see the FAQ entry How do I link to your site?

We reserve the right to refuse linking to any site at our discretion.

Feel free to contact us with any questions or comments.

We are looking for sites that are stupid, geeky, funny, pop culture, and political related (toilet humor is fun too). If you think it's a great site, someone else might, too.

Here are some of the reasons that links <font>do not</font> get listed...

Blogs: See Will you link to my site?
Self Promotion: Will you link to my site?
Temporary Links: Places like Yahoo News, eBay, FilePile, etc.
Current Events: We want links that stand the test of time.
Journals: See 'Current Events'.
Forums: See 'Current Events'.
Pay Sites: M&C is free, so too should its links be.
Members Only Sites: Yahoo Groups, New York Times, etc.
Ad Heavy Sites: Popup, popunder and flashing ads are just annoying.
Porn: Porn sites and sites with porn banners.
Downloads: No zip, gzip, sit, exe, etc.
Comics: We are letting Top Web Comics take care of this monstrous task.
Single Images: It's rare that a single image is very interesting.
Tests: Cataloging ubiquitous quizzes and online personality tests is a monstrous task best left to another site with an obsession for such things.
Collections: Except for the really outrageous, most collections are pretty dull: matchbook covers, bottlecaps, beer cans, etc.
Unusable Sites: Internet Explorer only, non-standard plug-ins, bad navigation, etc.
Racism: It's ok to joke about heritage, religion, ignorance and culture; but not race.
Physical Differences: What do you want, a world full of Kens and Barbies? Check this article: Fat is the new blackface.
Animal Unfriendly: We are an animal friendly site. No links about animals getting hurt, even cartoons. This includes bestiality. People hurting people, or themselves, well... that's different. ;)
Mental Retardation: I mean, come on... really.
Requests for Money: Good will abounds, and so do scams.

Feel free to post all the jokes about pedophiles you want!

Typos and lame post are the fault of the moderator, not the submitter. So if you are worried about it, don't be.

So post to you're hearts content.

If your submission gets pulled then it's either a duplicate post or it didn't fit our site. Whatever the reason, we'll try and give you a explanation.
