It’s A Failbook(ing) Facelift!

ZOMG! We’re post-op from our facelift and feeling pretty! Something really exciting for us is the site name change to Failbook.com! We might have out grown the suffix, but we aren’t going to go nuts and change it to some crazy symbol and go by “the site formally known as Failbook.” Don’t worry, failbooking.com will still get you to us. We’re happy with the results of our operation and we’d love to hear what you guys think.


Once more the features added are:

- Added links to more funny stuff across the Cheezburger Network
- Added a bigger, bolder, more awesome logo
- Added an easy way to login to your Cheezburger account
- You can save your favorite lolz to your Cheezburger account, by clicking “Add to Favorites”
- failbooking.com has become failbook.com!

    BRING THE OLD FAILBOOK BACK THIS SHIT IS WACK

    yeah I went there.

  3. Ginger says:

    I like it. The “ing” in Failbook bugged me A LOT.

  4. gart says:

    wasnt there some mad lawsuit over the domain name? failbook was taken by someone who was smart enuf to grab it when “fail” and facebook was/is so popular then failblog had to get a lawyer cuz they felt theyre name was being stolen?

  5. Kate says:

    Uniformity rules! :)

  6. Bill_N says:

    I don’t understand you, it looks fine, get used to it, you’re living in the past.

  7. memoma says:

    wtg guys!

  8. Hater says:

    Nice to see that the Cheezburger Network finally managed to bully that poor guy out of his domain. You guys stay classy.

  9. hmph says:

    I couldn’t care less about the name change (big wup), but I truly appreciate the buttons to the rest of Cheezland!

  10. Drew says:

    Yeah I agree, bring the old failbook back. this cheezburger shit is whack as hell. and half your “fail posts” are pretty much failures. you’re using failing to fail.

  11. lawlcatz says:

    fourth!!

  12. KingBuxton says:

    I think you mean “formerly,” as in “no longer.”

    You used “formally,” as in “fancy.”

  13. Timothy S says:

    I love the new banner and buttons

  14. Melissa says:

    Yeah, thanks for the links to the rest of the cheezburger network!

  15. umad?yahemad says:

    I actually don’t like the fact that you have links and buttons EVERYWHERE advertising all the other cheezburger sites. It’s annoying and it takes up way too much space. I’ll be scrollin’ down looking at my facebook fails and randomly I see, “Now it’s time to check out Demotivational posters lololol!” : |
    I don’t want to see all the other site’s crap jumbled into the failbook stuff. Just keep the tabs at the top, thats enough. kthanx.

  16. HATE IT says:

    Bring the old version back! I don’t want to look at this its just as messy as fail blog. SUCKS.

  17. Aly says:

    What, do you want a cookie or something?

  18. hmmm says:

    i like the favourites adding =]

  19. me says:

    The original Failbook was better managed. After the buyout…there was a void. I used to laugh out loud at Failbook. Now, I find it amusing, and I will still visit the site….but it is an inferior experience. You guys should hire the original Failbook owner to run this thing.

  20. Jenno says:

    Eh, people are reluctant to accept change sometimes, however minor it may be. I think it looks great, and I have been wishing the site had the cheezburger links at the top since I started visiting the site. Nice job, guys! Now the constant changes on the real Facebook site, on the other hand, I don’t like. (I’m no different, sometimes it’s hard to get used to something familiar changing all the time.) I don’t see those as improvements, but this definitely is!

  21. That Guy says:

    I hope this domain change earns you enough money to make it worth the steps you took to acquire it. The Cheezburger Network has forever changed in my mind, and not for the better. Ben Woo fail?

  22. youralcoholicdad says:

    Oh dear, change…
    Que the haters!

  23. Zoe says:

    Isn’t there already a ‘failbook’?

  24. Etrusque says:

    This site was already cluttered and difficult to read, now you added to it with new features like a 2 miles wide “Add to Favorites” button.

    Visually, all you can see at first glance is stuff surrounding the stories (which are the main purpose of this site), not the stories themselves.

    You should bring back the emphasis on the STORIES and be a bit more subtle with the rest.

    Don’t get me wrong, I love this site, but going around all the rubbish is a pain in the ass.

  25. Joe says:

    is it just me? or do the fails all cut off on the right side? can’t read the whole fail. :(

    • nope says:

      well great – this is now getting the poor look of the other cheezburger sites – and now unavoidably connected with them – with all of their business around every page – i really enjoyed the old failbooking where it was cleaner – simpler – proper spacing – not just used for cross promotion. And i hate the way you all do comments – why don’t you mimic the facebook style of comments – i liked it the way it was

  26. emma says:

    so like… lamebook… except they’ve been here longer.

  27. plaidley says:

    Thanks for adding the banner widgets.

  28. Rev. Layle says:

    To all the haters:

    All the Cheezburger sites eventually get transformed to this. Yes this has been a cb site for quite a while… it happens to all of them eventually. This is how they make the money. The ads and crap do not bother me, as long as the content is here.

    The ONLY complaint about the standard CB layouts is that it does load a bit slower, if there was a way to trim up the page sizes or JS performance, you’ll have a winner.

    Ad haters: get an adblock program or something and quit using IE :)

  29. moej0j0j0 says:

    So…… how much did you end up paying the orig owner of failbook.com?

  30. Amos says:

    Its not super better, it just has improvements for the people who actually have a cheeze burger account.

    Do something with the huge gap at the top of the page please.

  31. Kate says:

    It would be ok if you could see the whole posting. New format cuts off the entries.

  32. nananananabatman says:

    should be called lolbook

  33. Matt says:

    Facelift? Feeling Pretty? This site is as ugly as balls… It’s a mess!

  34. Dallas says:

    Um, it’s “formerly,” not “formally.”
