[SITE] What's Wrong with My Scoops?

The last three scoops I submitted haven't made the front page, and I'm wondering if it's because there's a technical problem or they were somehow deemed un-newsworthy. If it's the former, I'd like to know the problem so I can correct it. If it's the latter, I'd like to discuss how that decision is made.

Of the three "scoops," two were updates to the BDG website including, inter alia design diaries for Thrilling Passages, and the last one was an update to the Dawning Star site with the first look at the cover for our new book. I.e., the kind of news that's always been posted before. As for process, I'm not doing anything different than what I've done before, which is, clicking on the "Submit a Scoop" link and post the item.

Wasn't sure where to send/post my query, so apologies if this isn't the appropriate forum or if this should have been handled by e-mail. Feel free to reply to me off-list if you think it more appropriate at: justin[at]bluedevilgames[dot]com.

Thanks.

Justin,

I don't know about your specific situation, but I do know we were going through some major transition with Newshounds in the past few weeks, and this could be part of the issue. I'll direct this to the Meta forum, and see if I can get someone to have a look at it.

If there's five dragons, they're standard monsters.
If there's a dozen dragons, either most of them are minions or your DM is tired of the campaign.

I see three Blue Devil news items in the d20 System section on the front page, though one is in reference to a review and not listed below.

From June 11th:

"Blue Devil Games has updated their website, including a new Thrilling Passages design diary."

From June 13th:

"Blue Devil Games has updated their Dawning Star website with the cover for Helios Rising, their upcoming supplement for Dawning Star."

Were those the ones you were looking for?

So, if I understand correctly, what you're saying is that there is no problem, apart from me being a blind and daft moron?

Sorry.
