Subj: New Year, same nonsense
We’ve not got any new project launches yet due to spending time on a CMS and Other Things, but thought we’d better get a newsletter out as it’s been a while.
There’s plenty in the works for 2026... but if we told you about it that’d spoil the surprise.

Subj: Very Important Vole Questions
Does the little guy on the website have a name? I think he should have a name. What's he like? Has he participated in Crisp Sandwich Day? We need answers to all these pointless questions!
Sysadmin note: our logo/‘mascot’ was designed by the late mushybees, it doesn’t have a name but feel free to suggest one
From: Victor
Subj: An idea I had for a website
a game called build a vole, where you just make lil vole plushie where you sell at an action, also a lil nudge for you to make a vole plush, or as I name him, voley moly
Sysadmin note: that was quick, a name suggestion already
From: tuffclick
Subj: time......
how did this whole thing start?like whats the first game/website thingy?how long has vole.wtf been a thing???
Sysadmin note: there was a previous incarnation of the site in the early 2000s; its most popular thing was the original Flash version of Programming Language Inventor or Serial Killer?, which got tens of millions of views. The current site launched on the 6th of August, 2019.

Subj: re: the limit of crisps...

Subj: Crisp or chips
A debat between north Americans and British is whether or not it's supposed to be said as chips or crisps tell me give your thoughts is it crips or chips also this may impact what you might have to call your holiday as and what you even mention a crisp or chips sandwich as. Choose wisly
Sysadmin note: although they’ll always be crisps to us, we’re happy to welcome those using other terms

Subj: idea for game
SKY Sports commentator simulator
Hey,VOLE,i have a Albert Einstein type of game idea. it inspired me from the "Kick the ball back" and mini goalie game. so...the purpouse is to scream at the top of your lungs from a simple goal,because youre the supporter of that team. And yeah,thats about it.

Sysadmin note: yeah that might work, yell into your mic every time a goal goes in

Subj: how many
How many people submit a message to this newsletter? Or is this not public information?
Sysadmin note: currently, around half of all submissions make it into a newsletter; before we switched to focusing more strictly on the site, the % was waaaaayy lower
From: Quizzler
Subj: Why???
This last newsletter was really small:( was that a choice or are less people sending stuff in? Here is a pic of my cat spartipuss
