Re: Admin Chatter
#120330 miles high and 100 x 300 miles give or take. WTF?
I wanted to be gentle but it came out anyway. -
Re: Admin Chatter
#1204Thank you and good work, gentlemen. This is why I made you admins!
You never know...weird, giant, 666 mile monster today...subscription-paying, ebook contributing customer, tomorrow. -
Re: Admin Chatter
#1205Strolen, Val, and AG will all appreciate this little tool. I foresee this helping my testing efforts tremendously for the generators.

#1206Tis cool! -
Re: Admin Chatter
#1207I'm not sure what's happening, but something is...
We're getting new members! Slowly and unsteadily, but still.
Wisedreamer, Jojokiwi, Young0ne2, Fukurou, few others quite recently.
Carefully they come, like newborn lemurs, feebly grasping at branches with their sticky finger pods, looking out into the light with scared, saucer-wide eyes, but they come. -

#1209This is my next idea: Adopt-a-Newbie. -

#1210:read:
The strolen's Citadel Mentorship program!
YOU can be the next Scrasamax!
Let Kalabar take you under one of his six wings and learn how to type in ALL CAPS!!

Re: Admin Chatter
#1211I was thinking more...
Shadoweagle: Good, Wisedreamer, that's enough push-ups. Now, pick a Bareka district and get to writing. Which Ozquin Dremorix ideal will you feature in your piece?
Wisedreamer: Which ideal do you think I should emphasize, sir?
Shadoweagle: This will work out just fine, i think, this tutor program, just fine. Now go comment on my chocolate milk sub!
Wisedreamer: Umm
Shadoweagle: You want to be like Scrasamax someday, don't you?!
Wisedreamer: yes sir!
Shadoweagle: Good, draw my next Decathros map. -

I approve -
Re: Admin Chatter
#1214Heard about "the incident", where much of the citadel was overwritten and stuff lost and people left.
Also heard that you searched through the google cache.
Just an idea. Since this Forganthus is back, and happy with his award, perhaps you could restore its comments:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:VlujyF_27AsJ:strolen.com/browse_sub_comments/forganthus/20+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=no&client=firefox-a
And restore it to Golden status, and attach a 5.0 to each vote? -
Re: Admin Chatter
#1215Yeah!! -
Re: Admin Chatter
#1216 -
Re: Admin Chatter
#1217A great gesture to the award winning sub, and I am sure it will mean something to Forganthus as well. -
Re: Admin Chatter
#1218Somebody let him know if you don't mind. I am being pulled too many directions at the moment. -
Re: Admin Chatter
#1219I already did yesterday :) -
Re: Admin Chatter
#1220So I just joined RPG.net as Muromets, with an "s". (:P).
This is part of my new plan to infiltrate these stupid sites and steal members somehow.
First thing I see...
Edit my Profile. But alas, I cannot, until I post 10 posts or more. Ok, so far so good, I like that. You're a nothing til you add something.
Then I see...
"Want to become a "member"?
Yearly Membership ($29.95) Lifetime Membership ($149.95)
The main reason to become a supporting member of RPGnet is to help pay for the community that you regularly take part in. However, we've also tried to offer a few perks to say thank you:
No Inlines. Inline Google Ads will automatically be turned off.
Filter Ads. You may choose to turn off some or all other ads at the site.
Forum Recognition. You'll receive a special supporter flag on your forum account.
Forum PMs. You get a larger PM 150-item Box, can mail to users with full PM Boxes.
Forum Avatar. You can select a larger 60x60 avatar.
Early Columns Access. You can read columns before they're posted.
Early Review Access. You can read reviews before they're posted.
XP. Just for fun, we'll give you Experience Points every month, to reflect your contribution to the site.
I was blown away!! This site is so much better!! And these a-holes get $29.95/pop!! For what??! Endless, vast forums of blather and game reviews. Graphics/General Ambience/Atmosphere SUCKS ASS, or rather, is non-existent!!
gaaaaaah.
What am I missing??? Oh and they have billions of members of course. :huh:
(Oh and MoonHunter! You're active there, not here?? :bat:) -
Re: Admin Chatter
#1221the perks of a memorable URL.
I hope success won't destroy us, like it has them. I understand if Strolen gets a watery mouth at the thought of 30 bucks per member.
But the financial supporter award was a nice idea.
Let people get a nice badge, for instance "Taxpayer 2014", if they support the citadel that year. -
Re: Admin Chatter
#1222I think this would be fun...but probably a bad idea.
Thought: Putting the linked in the author's profile.
http://bootsnipp.com/snippets/featured/rating-card
Show their voting range just for curiosity's sake.
So if you get a 5 from X and 80% of his ratings are 5, well good for you. But if you get a 5 from somebody who only does 20%....well, that is something to swing from.
I personally don't care if people see my vote spread, but would that bother you? -
Re: Admin Chatter
#1223nope, wouldn't bother me -
Re: Admin Chatter
#1224Nor i, but certainly an opt in feature... -
Re: Admin Chatter
#1225Make it a leveling feature.
Once you hit Level X, you gain the ability to view Voting Cards and see the voting range of your fellow citadelians. You can always see your own Card, and it might open your eyes to your own voting habits. -
Re: Admin Chatter
#1226Level feature is better.
And for those that cares.
Adding this for search terms
ajaxchat ajax chat blue imp blueimp chat history admin access
That might do it. :)

Re: Admin Chatter
#1227FYI
I loaded up that landing page on the strolen.com site. If you are logged in you are instantly directed past it. If you are not registered, it loads up for you.
So if we want to play with a couple different versions of it, let me know what you want to change and we can do some experimenting. -
Re: Admin Chatter
#1228I have officially run out of tricks to pull that could get the generators working through Apache. BBH just did too much to fiddle with Apache, and I can't get Django working with it. I've put almost everything back the way it was, though I left the modules installed in-case inspiration hits and I feel like beating my head against the wall again.
My one remaining possibility is using Apache as a reverse-proxy to another web server (such as lighttpd or nginx) which then handles Django. Going that route would prove...interesting (and also rather amusing, considering most people use those two as a front-end with Apache as the backend; it'd be an interesting reversal).
If all else fails, we could always spin up a minimalist Rackspace server and host it there, but then we encounter interesting challenges with the authentication process. (Also, I'd need to check my personal budget to ensure I've got the funding for it, though I don't think that's an issue.)
Regardless, all of that will likely have to wait until next weekend. I might have time to work on it this week, but not exceptionally likely.
Edit: My badassery knows no bounds. Linkage -
Re: Admin Chatter
#1229I can't access the chatlog feature thing. It asks me to log in, then it doesn't do anything, just sends me back to the login. -
Re: Admin Chatter
#1230Not sure where it is looking for the admin setting. Is there something you are looking for or just 'cause? -
Re: Admin Chatter
#1231I happened to see something mentioned in the little bit of chat history that displays when you hit the chat, and wanted to take a further look at it to get some pre-emptive prep work done.
In short, "because I can". And because reading the raw table in the DB is annoying. :P -
Re: Admin Chatter
#1232All hail, valadaar!!
His visit to Reddit last night, somehow produced about a dozen new members today!!!
Holy shit!!!!!
:wizard: :victory2: :yourock: -
Re: Admin Chatter
#1233I'm pretty sure we could pull in more members quite easily with a minimum of evangelism on other sites. Anyone care to be our outreach coordinator? :P -

#1234Aramax is back with ummm...

Re: Admin Chatter
#1235That post is going to get moved into in work...

Re: Admin Chatter
#1236val, you are no longer allowed to visit reddit, my fingers are numb from welcoming people.
:lol: -
Re: Admin Chatter
#1237We need a Quest! It doesn't matter what kind of quest, as long as it's a quest. So many new people. Such a high percentage of those that seem like they may actually stick around. We need a Quest! And no, we don't need anymore forum posts, asking people "what kind of Quest would you like?" We get nowhere with that. Someone grow a pair, and pick a damn quest! We need a quest. Seriously, the timing is right, we need a quest asap! -
Re: Admin Chatter
#1238Yes, and with prize. Something fairly generic and easy to make subs for.
-
Re: Admin Chatter
#1239I'll provide the prize. -
Re: Admin Chatter
#1240To the Quest! :medieval:
I say we should do something basically retro, a throwback to the first years of gaming, none of this highfaluting, artistic, fancy stuff that we take a liking for, but nitty gritty dorito dust covered dice and crumpled character sheets hack and slash monster killing treasure finding artifact hunting dragon slaying Lord of the Ring's plagiarizing classic fantasy.
and shit
