Unthirsty 3.0

After much waiting, Unthirsty has finally been upgraded to 3.0.

Simple Question:

I’m curious, are you more likely to continually look for new and different happy hours, or do you find yourself going back to your favorites over and over.

Where is Unthirsty going?

As you probably have already read, we were having a lot of spam lately, and had to turn off the ability to add happy hours. We’re hoping to release a refreshed backend that will counter much of the spam we’ve been receiving, as well release some better administration features as well. We’re also working on a few secret new features that will affect the users, but we’re always anxious to hear what you guys think Unthirsty needs.

Problems Adding Happy Hours?

We’ve gotten quite a few e-mails from people saying they can’t add Happy Hours to our site anymore. Unfortunately we had been dealing with a massive amount of spam through adding happy hours, and we had to turn off the feature. We are working on solving the problem by adding some anti-spam tools in the backend.

On that note, we should be upgrading Unthirsty in the next few weeks. Keep checking back!

Keep forgetting to try the Vesper Martini

I saw Casino Royale when it first came out, and told myself I’d have to try the martini Bond describes in the movie. Yet, it’s months later, and I still haven’t remembered to try it.

But the post wasn’t really about us. They listed our arch-nemesis MappyHour as being the best happy hour site, then mentioned us as competitors. Read on for our take on what they said.
