BRK is Moving; Please Don’t Riot
Well, we have completed all the paperwork for WoWInsider. After disecting all the legalese, mumbo-jumbo, bunkum, gibberish, drivel, yammering, arcane references to the Magna Carta, not-so-veiled threats, promises of Sporeling Snacks, and held it under a black-light to see the “Things That’ll Bite Ya If You’re Not Good” sections, The Committee has come to two unavoidable and unassailable conclusions:
1) If one asks for an Original Formula Mai Tai and it comes with crushed - not shaved - ice, it is perfectly permissible to toss it and demand a “real” bartender attend your imbibing desires.
2) From this point on, we are gonna save all our ideas and posts for the WoWInsider blog.
Is BRK going away? Nope. Is it going to be updated? We’re pretty certain of that; not every article we write will be picked up by WoWInsider. For example, these posts probably won’t get published:
The Top Ten BRK Blog Posts That Won’t Get Published by WoWInsider
10. Holy Priests Are Wussies & We All Know It
9. Bow Users: WoW’s Obsessive-Compulsive Pantywaists
8. How To Cook TurDuckMoonkin
7. Male WoW-Players Just Stink: A Bathing Tutorial
6. If BRK Pulls Aggro, It’s Always the Warrior’s Fault
5. Warlocks and Their My Little Pony Fetish: A Pictorial (Rated NC-17)
4. Alliance Shaman - BRK Votes No, No, A Thousand Times No
3. BRK Has His/An Epic Flying Mount Woot!/How Sad That You Don’t - Haikus for Mocking the Poor
2. We All Hate Kids; If You’re Younger Than 18, Don’t Read This
1. The Top Ten Deepest, Darkest, Most Lurid and Shocking Secrets WoWInsider Doesn’t Want You to Know About, Cause You Can’t Handle The Truth
Those will be saved for BRK, we promise.
But when we write something and WoWInsider pays us for it, (YEAH! PHAT LOOT!) it becomes their exclusive property for a period of time. Well, that makes sense, of course; business is business. So the majority of our writing will be only found at WoWInsider for the foreseeable future.
It is with a tremendous sense of loss that I must write that BRK is changing in this fashion. We have a huge backload of email questions, test realm notes, instance ideas, PvP stories, and Top Ten Lists that we’ve been hoarding; we can’t wait to share them.
BRK shall return in Full Force once we receive the WoWInsider Secret Decoder Ring and Key to the Executive Stormwind Washroom… well, actually, we think we’re in the extreme minority as an Alliance Hunter at that site, so perhaps we’ll get the hammer that knocks the wooden lid off of the Executive Ogremar Water Trough. We shall see.

figures now that I have come to rely on your information.
I am looking forward to seeing your work at WoWinsider– good on you, and they are lucky to have you posting for them. Still will keep BRK bookmarked. I enjoy this site alot, I have been checking back several times a day to get fresh insights and a good chuckle from your work. Peace and as always, Good Hunting!
Well Damh, I gotta say congrats and good luck on the new adventure! You deserve it - your writing is superb, and your sense of humor and ability to express it, a joy.
I will miss BRK, but will definitely be checking out your writing in the new venue.
All the best,
-Bash
So after a “a period of time” you can repost your stuff here then? And if they reject your entry you can still post it here?
As a BRK fan and a wowinsider reader I’m torn. Less postings at BRK
but better postings at wowinsider. Hopefully you’ll take the spot of that midless filler and crap that is Around Azeroth.
But sence you are going to get paid for your postings im all for it.
Sonofa….now i will get even less goodness. Wowinsider is blocked at my work….so no more BRK fo me.
/sigh

/Mindkiller dies
/WoWInsider has slain Mindkiller
Same. Insider is blocked for me
I hope the posts continue here…
**glances over shoulder nervously**
Try this one.
https://secure.1k.ca/rbccm/nph-proxy.cgi/000110A/http/www.wowinsider.com
Not perfect, but definitely accessible. This always does the trick for me. Also gets you access to lots of other stuff, though no xml (no worldofwarcraft.com homepage or armory) and it sometimes has trouble with pics and forums. You’ll just have to see where it can take you. Just replace the last part with a different web address.
I’m glad WoWInsider is picking up an awesome blogger who happens to play Alliance!!!
I have noticed the majority of WoWInsider plays Horde; however, it rarely sets a bias in their post.
I’m looking forward to some Alliance biased post from my favorite blogger!!!
I would help you pack for the move, but I’m a Mage, and I only have 200 str.
Congrats on your achievement! The bar has now been raised, and I look forward to more and even better blogs from you…as well as other WoWInsider writers. You show them how it’s done!

Wowinsider dies.
+5 BRK Cool Points to Anonymous; anything that makes us laugh out loud deserves it.
OMFG!!! That proxy line worked….!! I CAN READ WOWINSIDER AGAIN!!

AGAIN!!!!

Congratulations, BRK!!! Great job!
Make sure you let us know when your first article goes up. I’m already jonesing for my fix!
wonderful…..as if your ego wasn’t big enough already
but seriously. Grats Damh. Enjoy the ride!
Be careful with proxies like that. If the work filter looks for anything like proxy.cgi, usage of a proxy is generally viewed as a more serious offense than visiting the site.
Ok ok, if your gonna move, ya gotta post! Not posting here or there…. I just can’t handle it!
