Awful quote splitting time!

Quote:Man, you should see the garbled php mess that is the STSI system...
Some of us have! That thing is atrocious.

Quote:But modernizing the forum software gives us access to so much more cool stuff. Imagine having a poster rating system, and being able to filter posts and threads by a certain rating level. Forums can become self-moderating and dynamically police themselves.
I haven't always been a fan of moderation by the masses. I've seen it fail pretty spectacularly depending on the crowd, particularly in a forum atmosphere where even idiots should be read by everyone - if only to confirm they are idiots. Wowhead's has worked out pretty well overall, but that's a website designed to get you the information you want as quickly as possible. Not quite the same as a forum.

Quote:If this sounds somewhat familiar, it's similar to how sites like Slashdot do things, and it's a system that works. I figure, since they crashed the Lounge more than once by Slashdotting us, I can take the liberty of swiping their design ideas. :)
Just don't select editors that promote sensationalism over actual facts, like Slashdot does.:wacko:

Quote:Again, please respond with your thoughts, recommendations, ideas, offers to help, etc. If you are familiar with the softwares I've mentioned here, please sound off on what you think of them. If you have cool ideas for web styles, discuss them! If you think this is all a terrible idea and will never work, say so. If this excites you, say so. If you don't care at all, then you haven't read this far anyway.
Will the editors be game specific, or overarching for all Lounge games? Also, you know me. While not a genius at anything I'm willing to put in time figuring out any technical issues - just don't ask me for art!

Quote:If you're wondering where 10 years of your life went, the answer is: you wasted them playing computer games, you dolt. Glad to have you here with me.
I was in Junior High when I wrote my first DSF post. Chew on that.
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
