New Management
Hello everyone!
This is Austin, the new writer/owner of BuzzPatrol.com. I want to start off first by apologizing for the lack of updates due to the site transferring over to the new server. Other than that everything was a smooth transfer and I’m ready to get back to posting.
I want to go over some new features with you all! First off we now have comments so you can participate in each post and I’m really hoping you do! Also, I will be starting to categorize our post in a more orderly way instead of just links and videos. I also plan to expand exponentially eventually covering the major buzz in a wide variety of topics but that’s a little ways away. I also plan on providing more informative posts, more contests, getting as much community interaction as possible, and working on getting some discounts for our readers as well such a movie ticket discounts at Fandango and some other stuff that I find.
I just wanted to let everyone know about the change in ownership and to expect good things. You may also notice the site runs faster and smoother. That’s thanks to our transfer from MovableType to Wordpress which also gives me a lot more flexibility so some neat features will be coming out too.
Thanks,
Austin Overton

The front page is way too crowded… might wanna consider taking off the google adsense
so does this mean that buzzpatrol is no longer affiliated with uncrate and outblush ?
yeah is buzzpatrol no longer with uncrate?
Buzz Patrol was with Uncrate? Man, I read Uncrate all the time and never knew that.
this site has gone downhill over the past months… it better get cleaned up
too many fucking ads. so much for improvements.
Yeah - if this is what improvements are and what NEW ownership means, then this sucks. The site is a jumbled mess. The posts are lacking the sardonic wit and fun commentary of the past. Let’s hope this gets better…..
Yes, at one point Uncrate was considered a sister site of BP but that is no more.
I removed the top ad so it’s a bit less cluttered. If you have any other ideas for improvement please let me know.
Toddles I emailed you.
Thanks,
Austin Overton
Austin,
Congrats. If you’re depending on ad revenue, you might need more columns of ads. Or better paying ones. This is from personal experience. Good luck.
Aaarg, stop complaining people, you don’t see the ads on the RSS feed, and the guy’s gotta make a living.
Just keep posting good stuff bro, that’s why people read this site in the first place, not because of the page layout or (lack of) adsense ads…!
Thanks Rich, I appreciate the good comments.
Good Luck, I think you have a lot of potential here.
This site has really gone downhill over the last month. I used to love BuzzPatrol, but I’m officially removing it from Reader as of today. It used to be a great place to come and get entertainment news that was actually entertaining. The drivel Shane has been posting is low-grade blogging at best. If it wasn’t for the BuzzPatrol name he’s posting under, nobody would read his articles. Austin, do yourself a favor; if you want to actually KEEP the audience you’ve “inherited”, spend some time reading past articles and find out what made BuzzPatrol so appealing to begin with.
JP,
This site is no longer the old BuzzPatrol… I didn’t plan on keeping BuzzPatrol on the same random topics it was on before and decided to move into a topic that I believe fit the name better. I realize I’m going to lose some readers but that doesn’t bother me, that is part of change.
As for Shane, I love his writing and others do to. So move on buddy.
