Looks that way I guess, I get that they probably want to visit family and such but it's still disappointing to not see any new articles.

One of the moderators on PWOT said "Cracked takes a holiday the week between Christmas and New Year"

I suppose it is an annual thing? I rarely go to Cracked anymore. I just watch the videos on YouTube.

I recall that on Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year, and the Fourth of July, they would always run articles exhorting people to pitch their own article ideas, and nothing else. I don't recall them taking a week off before, but I haven't regularly read Cracked since sometime in 2012.

They publish so many articles a day now though, that it seems like even with a week, if you really want your Cracked fix, you could go back and read some of the articles you skipped? Even if we don't count ATB, McKinney, and Sergeant as proper cracked writers (as you shouldn't), it seems like you're bound to have overlooked a few real articles.

Hmmm, I recall that on last year's Christmas Day they ran only one article. I don't recall them taking a week off before, either.

I remember when I first started reading the site they would post top 8 or top whatever lists for all of the columnists. Like top 8 songs, video games, etc.

Looking back I don't really see these in their articles or columnists sections. I always loved those articles and was sad when they stopped doing them a year or 2 ago (this coincided almost perfectly with the time when a lot of my favorite columnists stopped writing and they started writing more articles that I greatly disliked).
