Something IS coming – UPDATED… AGAIN

We've been busy here at iFanboy. Hang on tight, it will be here soon.

UPDATE #6 – Hi. Ron here again. What a long road it's been. I have to say, I didn't think I'd have posted this many updates. We've had our fun. There have been some laughs, but everything comes to an end. No! iFanboy isn't ending, what are you crazy? It's just beginning! We had hoped we'd have something very special for you by today, but it's not quite done yet. Everyone has been super supportive and we appreciate the "take your time"-esque messages. Josh has some pretty high standards, so some things take longer than others. But fear not true believers! The end is indeed near and if we all can hold on just a little bit longer….

UPDATE #5 – Dearest, most patient iFanboy Faithful: Hi. It's your buddy, Ron. How are you doing? We're doing well. Boy are we busy. You might have noticed this week's podcast hasn't been pushed yet, AND whatever it is we've been tempting you with hasn't made it's presence known. You've been so patient and we really want to thank you for that. Like we said, the wait will be worth it. That said, the podcast (which has nothing to do with what's coming) is indeed on it's way. We got a little distracted and to be honest, I'm still not used to being on West Coast time. So hang in there and we'll be publishing it soon. As for whatever it is that's coming. It's inching ever closer to the finish line. So just a little longer. Feel free to keep speculating though, we love to see what your theories are. Now excuse me, George Lucas' won't stop screaming I mean, I have to get back to work…

UPDATE #4 – Almost There…

 

UPDATE #3 – It looms on the horizon….

UPDATE #2 – We appreciate how patient everyone has been, we're thoroughly enjoying the speculation, so keep it coming by all means, but we don't want to string you along either. Those long time members of the iFanbase will remember the last time we announced something, we told you it was coming a full week before it happened – so let's just hang in there for a little longer…

UPDATE – So you're all wondering what's coming. Well…something is…but we just need a little more time – so be patient, stay tuned and we'll keep you updated. We think it will be worth the wait.

    Oh COME ON!

  2. import says:

    This popped up at the exact moment I heard you guys mention it on the podcast. It was creepy.

  3. import says:

    Ooh, I’m excited. =)

  4. import says:

    looking forward to the surprise

  5. import says:

    Argh, scary. I refreshed the page and this was here just as you mentioned it in the podcast. Eeep.

  6. import says:

    God damn guys. I thought it was supposed to be here?

  7. import says:

    So excited.

  8. import says:

    Teases!

  9. import says:

    Is it Voltron???

  10. import says:

    … I keep refreshing this page… There’s a thing called overhyping you know….

  11. import says:

    OMG your skrulls.

  12. import says:

    Ron’s changing his name to Charles Xavier?

  13. import says:

    Dude………….come on.

  14. import says:

    Dude, it’s the first iFanboy Rock Band Invitational, isn’t it?

  15. import says:

    Ugh..all these delays. I’m so close to dropping this site. iFanboy is just too event heavy.

  16. import says:

    Tease…

  17. import says:

    Someone’s having someone’s love child?

  18. import says:

    A new version of the website?

  19. import says:

    iFanboy magazine!

    Wait, no… VOLTRON!

  20. import says:

    ifanboy magazine? That would be pretty cool. I’d buy it.

  21. import says:

    This is worse than a spoiler……

  22. import says:

    Fred, I’m with you. Pretty sure we’re in for a website revamp. Regardless, the suspense is killing me.

  23. import says:

    iFanboy becomes iBrubaker? ;)

  24. import says:

    a new member of the iFanboy family? A new co-host? iFanboy webcomics? Is there gonna be pie? Man, I hope there’s gonna be pie …

  25. import says:

    SPOILER ALERT!

    Gordon referenced a new design a couple of weeks ago on Twitter. I’m guessing new site design.

  26. import says:

    Are you finally announcing that I won the prize pack including the usb dongle?

  27. import says:

    Is it cupcakes? Please let it be cupcakes.

  28. import says:

    oh please let there be pie.

    ifanboy – discussion and podcasts about pies

  29. import says:

    Ha! I wrote mine before I saw Ronin’s post. Apparently we have similar thoughts.

  30. import says:

    Is it a Red Ryder BB Gun?! Oh, I hope, I hope, I hope!

  31. import says:

    Oh dear… DOWN WITH iKieferSutherland.com

    I like the comics!

  32. import says:

    I’m a set designer, grigs.

    I was referring to my “other” job.

    Sorry to spoil the spoiler.

  33. import says:

    A move toward political correctness? iFanperson?

    Personally, I’m against it.
    I have enough trouble trying to relate to Conor’s proud African traditions, and Josh’s womans problems.

    It might be Godzilla!

  34. import says:

    Why the hell do I read spoilers? Arrg!

  35. import says:

    A girl comic geek Allie or Rachel joining the podcast?

  36. import says:

    A wedding! A death! A Resurrection! Oh, the possibilities!

  37. import says:

    I’m guessing it has something to do with the Cloverfield monster….

  38. import says:

    I hope that Boobies and mixed drinks are involved…

  39. import says:

    Robert Kirkman is joining the crew to pay you guys back for all the sales you’ve gotten him?

  40. import says:

    An iFanboy Crisis!

  41. import says:

    iFanboy the MMORPG? You create an intern character and travel to different cons accomplish quests for the Conor, Ron, and Josh.

    I can’t wait for this game guys. Will it be Mac compatable?

  42. import says:

    im listening to an old ifanboy podcast, and i just spit my soda out when i heard ron say “ughhhh oh god, im just sitting here holding my stack, and its like an inch and a half thick! ughhh”

  43. import says:

    Just when I thought I didn’t have enough to look forward to in my life…

  44. import says:

    Gabbo?

  45. import says:

    Are you guys finally going to start your own con. Imagine it iFancon. That would be awsome!!!!!

  46. import says:

    nothing needs to come. i love this site as is.

  47. import says:

    I just have to shout out….. Giants baby! Whoo!

  48. import says:

    Secrecy!

    Speculation!

  49. import says:

    Is it a retcon of the iFanboy origin?

  50. import says:

    Return of the speculator market!! (Get it, we’re all speculating on what it is)

  51. import says:

    the questions should be: Who made the deal with Mephisto?

  52. import says:

    A Little Orphan Annie Secret Decoder Ring????

    So we can listen in each week and get hints for the new advertiser/sponser. ;-)

    C.

  53. import says:

    Duh, Conor made a deal with the devil so Ron and Josh are now a hot redhead and a hot blond vying for his attention while ooing and awwing about comics. Unfortunately, Conor has no memory of his Giant Cupcake.

  54. import says:

    Is this gonna take ONE MORE DAY?

  55. import says:

    new layout ?

  56. import says:

    YES! YES! YES!

    Let there be pie!

  57. import says:

    I know what it is — “Conor: The Fragrance.”

  58. import says:

    Oooh… Cool.

    Conor The Fragrance is much better than the site design I thought was coming.

    This new “something” is a long time coming.

  59. import says:

    It’d be nice to have some cryptic clues.

  60. import says:

    Well, “it” IS certainly taking it’s time to get here.

  61. import says:

    Maybe you should put up coded messages on the backs of blurry photographs that lead us astray from whatever the hell is happening.
    It’ll cause so much tension within iFanboy that one won’t want to be on the team, wants his name removed from the criticsm they lose fans…but then its a brand new day!!

  62. import says:

    This. Ain’t. Over.

  63. import says:

    Maybe all of the iFanboy t-shirts have secret powers and they are trying to figure out the activation code to give us super powers. Than take them away a couple weeks later.

  64. import says:

    Did I miss it? Is there some secret link…

  65. import says:

    How do you keep an idiot in suspense?

  66. import says:

    “I know what it is — “Conor: The Fragrance.”"

    Ooohhh! I guess that’s what the iFanboy pin-up calendar is promoting! Snap!

  67. import says:

    If i squint I can see it, and it is both amazing and beautiful.

  68. import says:

    Man, I hate shipping delays. I don’t understand how you can solicit something and then be unable to deliver it on time.

    It’s like Mighty Avengers all over again.

    Wait a minute! Maybe that’s it. Yeah, the evidence is right in front of us the whole time.

    iFanboys have hired Frank Cho. It explains everything.
    :-)

    (Just kidding guys. Get it done when you can. We know you have “real” jobs as well.)

  69. import says:

    You guys are totally going to change the banner, aren’t you.

  70. import says:

    You guys have brought back speculation.

    Are you proud of yourselves?

  71. import says:

    I see a sailboat.

  72. import says:

    A free box of Boo Berry cereal for everyone!!!

  73. import says:

    i hope this wont rape my childhood like spider-man did

  74. import says:

    They travel through time and stop Secret Wars from being published

  75. import says:

    An indepth interview with Britney Spears live from the padded room!!

  76. import says:

    Finally adding porn to the site..? Cloak & Dagger slash fiction? It seems like a good idea but it gets old fast, I promise.

  77. import says:

    they are finally going to tell us what “gleaming the cube” means

    Seriously WTF?

  78. import says:

    did one of you guys make the real world?

  79. import says:

    It’s only been a couple DAYS….

  80. import says:

    “It’s only been a couple DAYS….”
    Hey! Those Jenna Jameson competitions don’t write themselves, pally!

  81. import says:

    Luke Hopkins, I’m ashamed of you! You obviously didn’t watch enough early-90′s Christian Slater teen movies! (just joking mate, never seen it either) :)

    Is anyone actually going to apply for that jenna jameson thing? Was this something iFanboy were excited about, or contractually obliged to?

  82. import says:

    Am I the only one that likes Spider-Man single again??

  83. import says:

    Nope Joshua from Florida, I love it too.

  84. import says:

    I have no problem with Spider-man being single, just how he became single….

    Wait now, what kind of sneaky diversion is this?

  85. import says:

    We’ve voted in change, where are the results? I thought someone was going to make a statement at 11:00 eastern standard. Did iFanboy get the nomination? How many delegates are in Latveria anyway?

  86. import says:

    considering i was 7 in the early 90′s, yeah i didn’t watch any teen dramas.

  87. import says:

    What was the last “it’s coming” announcement? Was it the video show? (It was pre-my time)

  88. import says:

    am i the only one who thought that dude up there’s name was hasselhoff when they looked at it the first time?

  89. import says:

    I’ve finally figured out what the change is…Josh finally grew facial hair…our boy is growing up so fast…

  90. import says:

    Josh grew up a long time ago. He has a Green Lantern tatoo. Only a mature adult would have a Green Lantern tatoo. Right?

  91. import says:

    I’ve got it…in wake of the writer’s strike iFanboy is now a sitcom on NBC. They will be a part of the new, new must see TV. Conor will be played by Vin Diesel, Josh will be played by Kiefer Sutherland, and Ron will be played by Colin Hanks.

    In addition to rating comics, they will be a part of a top secret government organization, and try to balance their crazy love lives, AND trying to keep swarms of geeks from discovering that Joe Quesada is secretly in league with Al Queda to take over the world by reconning Ronald Reagan out of existence…

  92. import says:

    Wow, there is no bitching about the delay.
    This is the Internet right? Or did I make a wrong turn somehere?

  93. import says:

    I hope this is better than Cloverfield…

    j/k iFanboy hasn’t ever disappointed me, so I’m sure whatever is cooking, it’s going to be delicious.

  94. import says:

    GRRRRR

  95. import says:

    I gotta admit, there’s something about iFanboy pie that just makes my mouth water. Regardless of whatever you guys are scheming (because let’s face it- this much secrecy and speculation has pushed you from”planning” to “scheming”) it could probably be made even better with pie. Preferably apple.

  96. import says:

    Perhaps iFanboy is trying to take over Yahoo instead of Microsoft? iFanboyahoo! Does kind of have a nice ring to it…. the search engine that only returns comics websites or always redirects to iFanboy.com ….ahh…nice plan….

  97. import says:

    Maybe all of that dating advice has gone to their heads and they’re launching a comic book dating service.

  98. import says:

    Last two blog posts before this one:

    * Jenna Jameson
    * What’s on your pull list?

    That’s funny.

  99. import says:

    If it’s a severed head I’m going to be very upset.

  100. import says:

    Ron, put down the Jenna Jameson comics and get to work.

  101. import says:

    Is Josh finally marrying Liza Minnelli?

  102. import says:

    jenna jameson comics aren’t exactly the mind blowing news i was expecting.

  103. import says:

    Did Conor get a tattoo of the word ‘vittles’???

  104. import says:

    When their powers combine they can summon Captain Planet?

  105. import says:

    When their powers combine they can summon Captain Planet?

  106. import says:

    “iFanboy hasn’t ever disappointed me…”
    Really? I think it’s just been one disappointment after another ever since the tie-fighter…

    @Maynard: I don’t know how to swim, and talking cars are just silly. Only the microwave and percolator talk to me.

  107. import says:

    iFanboy the comic book?

  108. import says:

    Amazon.com is going to start having iFanboy clickthroughs now?

  109. import says:

    Is this the test? How long we keep guessing before you send us all Harry Osborne?

    Is this the next series of Big Brother and no one told us?!

  110. import says:

    Hmmmm, I’m gunna take another guess and say we are getting an updated website with personal logins’, not only that, but the “What’s on your pull list?” section will have check boxes so we can all see what we are all reading; this will also be able to be updated during the week, but any additions will go under a sub-heading of an unknown name but could be something like, “Oh I was conned by the shady comic clerk and now I’m missing more money”?, and thus the site will be able to determine which books are mostly read by the iFanboy fanbase, which also leads to an Overall User based Pick of the Week that is generated by people selecting their personal top books of the week ranking 1-5 (1 = best).

    No? Ah well…. but I bet you wish you had thought of it…. AND implemented it

  111. import says:

    is it a puppy?

  112. import says:

    Pie? Rhubarb pie? hmmm… Or a user generated comic rating system… Whatever it is, I’ll be stoked to find out.

  113. import says:

    After the iFanboy crisis can I be the Klarion the Witch Boy II?

  114. import says:

    Ron, more Red Bulls until you get this done!!

  115. import says:

    There is no more iFanboy.(But not really. It’s only to fool Tony Stark, so he won’t make them register their mutant powers.)

    or

    Along with Chuck Norris, they are supporting Mike Huckabee.

  116. import says:

    iFanboy will be having its own One More Day, and we will witness the trinity of iFanboy revert to there highschool youth.

    How will they juggle prom AND podcasting??

  117. import says:

    Is this what it was like reading Civil War? C’mon guys, the wait’s killing me!

  118. import says:

    Update #3 should be a picture of the punisher fighting Gordon

  119. import says:

    I like luke Batt’s idea. I think a weekly, server generated Pull List pole to see the most popular iFanbase titles would be pretty cool.

  120. import says:

    any word on Y the Last Man getting the hardcover treatment?? I know Wanted is getting such b/c of the movie and word is the Holes/I Robot/Constantine/Bobby/Disturbia/Transformes/Indiana Jones kid(yeah yeah I can’t spell his name) is being approached with playing in the Y movie.

  121. import says:

    Man, I had a dream last night that the site got a complete design overhaul. Your new logo looked like the JSA logo.

    I’m such a lame-o.

  122. import says:

    I think I’m slowly going from anticipation and speculation to not really caring at this point.

    Man. It IS like Civil War all over again…

  123. import says:

    Ifanboy Comic Book Store?

  124. import says:

    OMG! I got it!

    Let me just say that I think your idea of a “Michael Turner is NOT amazing” section is COMPLETELY un-called for ;) Why would you hype that up, to further your own agender?! :D

  125. import says:

    My money is on the ifanboy comic company. The whole site and podcast and videocast were just tools to lure us and various comic creators in to buy their books or work for them at dime an hour. We can’t stop it either, because they’ll slap on their hypnotic puppy dog eyes and say “hey want buy my book” or “can you finish it by noon”. It was the perfect plan but you were no match for Tony from Queens.

  126. import says:

    “Something IS coming” …is it Galactus? (shudders)

  127. import says:

    Let me guess…you’re all finally admitting that you’re gay lovers??

  128. import says:

    Tony,

    We won’t even need puppy dog eyes. Our comics are going to be AWESOME!

    I’ve said too much…

  129. import says:

    Ohhhhh….. so it’s a new comic book theme for the site and cartoon intro for the vidcast with the three of you in the guise of Superheroes and Gordon as a sidkick, GENIUS!

  130. import says:

    “It looms on the horizon….”

    CRAP! It is Galactus!

  131. import says:

    IFanboy arranged the end of the Writers’ Strike! Thanks guys, we really appreciate that out here.

  132. import says:

    Gah lak tus?

    OH NOES.

    Or it has to do with the show coming out today.

  133. import says:

    Does that mean that Conor is the Silver Surfer?

  134. import says:

    Well, they’re both bald….

  135. import says:

    Then again, so is the Watcher…
    I’m assuming “It looms on the horizon” means that it is coming tomorrow morning. In that case, it should really make my Monday mornings interesting.

    We shall see…

  136. import says:

    Refresh, no update. Damn.
    Refresh, no update. Damn.
    Refresh, no update. Damn.
    Refresh, no update. Damn.
    Refresh, no update. Damn.

    This has been the past week of my life.

  137. import says:

    at this point, i think they are enjoying making us wait!

  138. import says:

    from the way this announcement has been presented I’m thinking Joe Q is joining the team

  139. import says:

    in the words of flava flav, “dont dont dont belive the hype!’

    ….jk seriously cant wait to find out what IT is that is looming on my horizon.

  140. import says:

    “at this point, I think they are enjoying making us wait!”

    Yeah, probably, but who can blame them? With everyone’s crazy and damn funny ideas, this has been one of the most entertaining threads I’ve read in ages!

  141. import says:

    “LOOSEN UP!”

    Very funny guys.

  142. import says:

    Suddenly everybody makin’ Viral marketing.
    I dont know if the video will fit into the whole piece or will it just be a fanservice thing ?

  143. import says:

    We’re all getting Star Wars arcade machines? AWESOME. You’re my favorite podcasters for a reason!

  144. import says:

    I fairly bristle with anticipation.

  145. import says:

    I’m hoping for iFanboy action figures, with kung-fu grip

  146. import says:

    AAAAHHHHHHHHH I check like a million times daily waiting to see what you rascals have in store and I still get NOTHING!!!

  147. import says:

    Hurry! The F5 button on my keyboard is starting to give out!

  148. import says:

    Holy moley! I had no idea the F5 button did that!

  149. import says:

    Blue Harvest: The Ifanboy Star Wars Musical Parody Special? Starring Conor as Chewie, Josh as Lando and Ron as the Rancor Keeper? featuring Gordon the intern as Greedo?…..wishful thinking.

  150. import says:

    That last update made it all worth it.

  151. import says:

    I know — it’s a very special iFanboy podcast where Josh and Conor confront Ron over his abuse of quaaludes.

  152. import says:

    “Did it go in?”

    -”Negative, it just impacted on the surface…”

    Star Wars quotes, or dirty pillow talk? You decide.

  153. import says:

    Can’t you just make the new design into Ultimate iFanboy? I like the design the way it is and want to continue with it; I’m afraid Ultimate iFanboy is going to pander too much to younger readers, or to older readers with an insatiable need for faux-teenager dialogue written by guys in their 40s.

    Ultimate Josh might be interesting to follow, though, if it shows the character before he became so disillusioned with life.

  154. import says:

    they kidnapped George Lucas…………

  155. import says:

    Something to do with Mark Hamil, perhaps? He’s a big comic book collector. Interview or even a guest host? Eh? EH?

  156. import says:

    I know there changing their name to iheartdanikapatric.com!

  157. import says:

    They’re starring in the Fanboys movie.

  158. import says:

    I was going to guess snazzy new banner…but now I just want pie…

  159. import says:

    You guys have to ifanbase to the ifandath star?!

  160. import says:

    Please let George Lucas go! On second thought….keep him.

  161. import says:

    Getnlemen, we all know you have actual lives and responsibilities, sp get to to it when you can……. that is, unless ifanboy has become your full time gig :)

  162. import says:

    The fourth Ifanboy… Made from DNA of you three.

  163. import says:

    I got it! A certain third of the ifanboy trio has moved to Cali, but will be green-screened into all future video podcasts! (a la George Lucas)!

  164. import says:

    An iFanboy video game perhaps……..

  165. import says:

    Does anyone actually still care about George Lucas anymore?

  166. import says:

    > The fourth Ifanboy… Made from DNA of you three.

    The Serpentor of comics!

  167. import says:

    I’m sure whatever it is will be worth it. iFanboy hasn’t let me down yet. I have faith.

    Better to take your time and do it right than rush and do it wrong. — My Mom

  168. import says:

    I’ve got it all the updates, teasers, and over hyping it isn’t a comic book company. its countdown to final ifanboy.

    “some readers are fans, few are ifanboy”

    coming to a Ipod near you.

  169. import says:

    IT’S SUNDAY AND I CAN’T PLAY MY IFANBOY DRINKING GAME.

    Maybe if we all donate money, it will go faster?

  170. import says:

    ifanboy is making making a bid for Around Comics to consolidate their power even further.

  171. import says:

    Ron, I trust you buddy, and it’s apparent the hours you guys have put into this are above and beyond the call of duty.

    The theories have been fun, but I think we’re all more than willing to wait for something cool. I think a lot of sites could learn from how cool the community is here.

  172. import says:

    i eat podcast

  173. import says:

    what up with the new logo on the podcast

  174. import says:

    I believe the NEW LAYOUT will be awesome. Keep working hard guys.

    I am an Ifanboy faithful, I trust you.
