    Default Random Questions and Things

    Question 1: Why doesn't SRL have a IRC channel? I could think of some amazing stuff we could do with one.

    Thing 1: There should be a central database thing, with a few members given access, in which we would distribute Noob Points (make the things in my sig a reality). We would just pass these: out, then upload how many points we gave to someone.

    Question 2: Why do sigs scroll? I find that just a BIT annoying, when I'm scrolling with middle bar, and it takes forever to get to the bottom of the page because I'm scrolling through at LEAST 5 sigs (Sorry about mine).

    Thing 2: I heard many Freehostia people went down, I can offer temporary hosting for them. If it's auths, and you don't trust me, alls well and good, just know that I don't play nor auto, and you and I will be the only ones with access to ftp and other things.

    Other things to be added. Feedback appreciated.
    I guess the holidays are over - no sig for now.

    Thing 1:It's a good idea, but I think that we could get a better name than that... maybe reputation points or something. It'd be good to see who's a leecher and who isn't, but I think that people would end up abusing them and if a leecher turned into a scripter, that scripter would still have a bad reputation w/ them.

    EDIT: Oh, I see what you mean; I thought you meant noob as in non-contributor. By posting standards, those would be a good idea.

    Question 2: If you move your mouse around the sig (to either side of the screen) you don't need to scroll through them
    I dunno, those asians are pretty difficult to out-auto, legend has it they don't need sleep or food...~tim0suprem0

    Not Leecher points. If you'd bothered to read the guide in my sig, then you'd know what I mean.

    And about the scrolling, I already knew that. I just don't do it sometimes.

    I'm not an idiot. Sorry.

    Heh, thanks. You should be one of the people to pass them out (as well as RAM_RUNE for suggesting the idea).

    Google the IRC chat..their have been a few set up, but not many people on them, as well as Ventrilo server...

    As far as the sigs scrolling....annoying..slightly...but even more of an annoyance would it be to see all of these sigs exposed on a page....

    As far as the noob points, I give "sore abbs" all the credit..I like the icon you found..and although we have a reputation button here and it doesn't really account for anything, I think we should be able to inflict negative reputation, as long as it is visible and you leave a valid excuse...As far as the actual assigning of noob points...I think openly flaming someone and referring them to the tutorial is shame enough, that hopefully they will see the light...I've never told anyone not to flame, just that if you do it, try to be helpful as well...We all had to start somewhere, just some of us have enough common sense to look around a bit before asking questions...

    How about if noob points decrease over time? Like 1 a week. 20 = a review + temp ban if they're legitimate.

    Oh and if you're talking about the ventrillo server that special ed posted, it was bought out.

    For IRC, I have tried Googling, but nothing substantial came up, as you have said. I was thinking more along the lines of an OFFICIAL IRC server.

    For the sigs, I was thinking more about reduction and restriction to a certain size rather than having them all exposed. But it would require massive changes, and I understand and respect that.

    For "Noob Points", yes, "soreabs" aka "toomanysitups" has all credit for them. As far as the icon, I made it. The reputation button isn't used much, nor have I seen a negative rep button (though I've felt the need for it sometimes). Well, once you try to make a flame helpful, I've found that it's not really a flame, but more like a warning blast of heat. But I'll have what you say in mind. Thanks.

    Hmm... we need noobs.
    I hate em, but we gota have them.
    I like the noob point idea, and im handing them out now whether u give me permision or not :_P

    They should not be visable everywhere, they should not folow your repuatation, they shoould not be associated with your profile in any way.

    Everyone is a noob once, and wizzups thread is HUGE to go through. Sometimes people decied to have someone else do it for them, and they deserve noob points for it.

    The shame and humiliation on the thread should be enough. Givew a solid reason, and still be helpfull.

    Having them folow ure profile would be like a rep system, and that was disabled for a VERY good reason, and I atribute it to why these forums are such a nice place to be.

    A while ago, WT-Fakawi said signatures should only be 5-6 lines long.

    So something like this.

    Code:
    a
    a
    a
    a
    a
    a
    Keep it under there and it won't make a scroll bar. :/

    Here is a button to disable siggys :)

    User CP -> Edit Options -> Uncheck Show Signatures.

    And Here, I think there's something around that page that lets you disable smilies :)
    EDIT: Nevermind, there's an option when you post to show smileys on that post.

    :)

    [h]Small Announcement[/h]

    Here and I have agreed on a system for noob points.

    There will be a web site, where people will be able to fill out a form to submit noob points.

    They will be logged for the reason why (corresponding to points given), who gave them. and who got them. They will also have a timestamp.

    This will be used to dynamically generate a signature png file, showing the last three or four noobs, what they did, and how long ago it was

    sound good? Let me know about changes now while I still have everything changing.

    What might the website be?? I wouldn't mind getting in on the action

    And I totally agree with the sig thing, though I'm betting mine scrolls too.

    Hey Smartzkid, thanks a lot for notifying me. Idiots think I don't know what basic .htaccess shit is. They're idiotic. Fixed in a second. All right, thanks again.

    And Greg, thanks a lot for all the work you've done on the noob points. I move today, so I can't do too much work for about a month.
