Frequently Asked Questions

 

1. How do I create a profile and why should I bother?
Creating a profile is free and easy and we'll address the process shortly. But first, we'd like to take a moment to speak frankly about the whys of profile creation.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the population in the United States recently topped the 300 million mark. Get your head around that for a minute. In a nation this large, your voice has a tendency to get lost in the cacophonous roar. Not so at Jewcy. Sure, we're here to inform and entertain and sell thongs, but our main mission is to bring people together. So create a profile. Comment. Argue. Get involved. Meet people. Make friends. Telling others who you are in the form of a personal profile is the first step in expanding your community and enriching your life. You might even get lucky.

To create your profile -- which will make you an official member of the Jewcy website, which will in turn allow you to make friends with other members, upload events (see #2 on our FAQs), comment on all our blogs, articles, and forum topics -- simply follow these easy steps:

A) Click on "Login/Register" on the upper right corner of the homepage
B) Click "Create a new account"
C) Fill in your information

Now you can click on "Edit your member profile" and fill in all your personal info. Make it interesting.

2. Why should I upload events and how do I do it?
Well, it's free publicity for your event, isn't it? There's no PR like free PR, and we think you'll find your fellow Jewcy members to be interesting, intelligent, and ready to party. In other words, if you've got a great event to promote, you'll do well to blow the Viking Horn here at Jewcy, rallying this enthusiastic community to attend.

How to do it: Go to your profile page. Make sure the "view" tab at the top is selected and click on the "EVENTS" tab. Click the "submit an event" button. Fill in the shindig's info and submit. Oh, and you should probably buy more beer.

2. I'm not Jewish. Am I trespassing on this website?
Out, heathen. We kid. Nobody ever said you have to be Jewish to be Jewcy. (That's actually a slogan we've been toying with around the office. Not bad, huh?) We preach the gospel of inclusion around these parts.

3. Who is the creative team?
Here's where we encourage readers to check out our Masthead to see (literally—there are photos) the fertile minds and supple bodies behind the Jewce.

4. Who's paying for this?
Our founders keep the lights on and the water running. More information on these dedicated folks -- who came to prominence in the Jewish community after creating the "Shalom Motherfucker" t-shirt -- can be found on the Masthead.

5 . How do I submit a pitch?
That's easy. First read our writers guidelines by clicking here, and then send pitches to submissions@jewcy.com.
