gryphon Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I would say it is Googlebot. It is the new evil.wrong.. it are the Dutch. . again. . . [ check the Landsraad boards if you wan'na know more ;) ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Alright enough of this. ;) Gob, looks like the front page is stale huh? Is that why we aren't having as many members coming in as before? :-I would have to agree with you on that. If I go to a website, and it hasn't been updated with new news, then I usually qualify it as being dead or very slow. Over 4 months of no news is kinda bad for getting new people to come. (not that the site is to get people to join the forum or anything, but if nothing new happens, then how can they come?)So Googlebot is a Dutch agent?In the poll archive, maybe you should start putting the start and finish date of each poll (if applicable).I thought we had a poll between favourite dune novel and how long poll?

Gobalopper Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 There is news coming, I just have to get around to posting it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Maybe make an announcement news post of that one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 An news post saying a news post is coming? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Yes, after 4 months of no news, it isn't so weird to do that ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Yes!That way you would be building up excitement! Add some tips or hints about what will be in the news post. Keep us guessing! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 It would surely be something like revealing a letter per day, and after 11 days, the news post would be complete... "No news today." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I thought at one point in time, only the member could view his own stats, but now everyone can see the stats of every user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seal89999 Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Which is pretty cool.......Do you not like it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted November 19, 2004 Author Share Posted November 19, 2004 As far as I know it has always been this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I like viewing my stats, but being able to view other people's stats is kinda an invasion of privacy (not really though).Example:Hey Sard, according to my time, you are most active on the 0 and 24th hour!You seem to like the General Board a lot, but your highest percent (of total board posts) is in the Landsraad.I thought it was hidden. Because I remember wanting to make a thread about "your own" stats.And the link to delete my account is still there.Hmm, although knowing when a person may be on by looking at the total posts per hour may be useful if needing to talk to the person.

And just as a correction I am most active during the 21 and 22 hour and most popular board by posts is General. Landsraad is highest in activity. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice_Cube Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 And the link to delete my account is still there.Having a delete account link is useful, it allows considerate people to delete their accounts is they wish to, to stop cluttering and save space!

Kiyouta Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Yeah but what if I clicked it by mistake... what a sad day that would be. :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice_Cube Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I'm guessing there is a confirmation step.... lol.The link is so small that clicking it will be an unlikely possibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted November 19, 2004 Author Share Posted November 19, 2004 There is a warning message before it actually deletes anything and even though it shows you can delete your profile I'm not 100% sure it actually does.Plus its pretty easy to re-assign your old posts to a new account. The only thing that might get lost is any IMs you had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiyouta Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 The only thing that might get lost is any IMs you had.Ahhh ok, no problem, shouldnt take me long to write them again. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 There is a warning message before it actually deletes anything and even though it shows you can delete your profile I'm not 100% sure it actually does.Any brave souls want to test this out ? Y'know, research purposes and all ? :PI actaully had a dream I deleted someones account and was going to get in trouble ! Sad, eh ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 I dont see your point......its not like its secret information. And just as a correction I am most active during the 21 and 22 hour and most popular board by posts is General. Landsraad is highest in activity. :)That it most likely due to time differences in the account settings. My time offset is +4. I was right in what I said about the boards, but I probably worded it badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted November 21, 2004 Author Share Posted November 21, 2004 Main page now has an RSS feed of the news for those of you interested in using it... Not that there ever is any news. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 What's an RSS feed? :)And how can people use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
