Dq5

[XdbX]

DQ5.
So first off i want to clear this up. I do not think there is any planing for DQ5 and i don't think we are running DQ5. we are running DQ4.

So here some ideas for the admin for when they code DQ5.

and you guys list ideas to.

A good way to have guest post.
we are seeing all these post from members that post what 30 times. then they leave,

why not have guest with names such as castletac
and each IP will ave a different name set to it.
now since these are guest we have to limit them.
so maybe they can only post in news and castle zone

that is my 2 cents the idea and the thread.
I know some people are going to make fun of me for this idea and i want to say. stop dragging it out and starting a flame war and just PM me

[Lucky Joe]

Most of this is a good idea. Except for the guest posting.

Only because spambots could flood the thread like hell and then we could get some hackers in the mix. Oh, how bout a dash of racist and more "H@I 5UyZzz!!@!@!12131@! M4h n4m3 !$ J03!!@2#1!!!!"

None of use want that, now do we?

[XdbX]

Ok as lucky pointed out there would be a bad side to this. plus all the guest are tracked by IP. so it would be easy to ban them.
also since there guest and to keep things working how about they can only use letter shift space bar and enter.
that way they can not




"H@I 5UyZzz!!@!@!12131@! M4h n4m3 !$ J03!!@2#1!!!!"


they would have to follow the rule also.

plus how about ever time they post a thing pop ups stating the rules and they are the guest follow them so on. also have it says this msg will go away when you sigh up and all post you have made as a guest will be set to you new user name.

ya I am thinking big and in my own mind.
Some of you might not get it because this is all being played out in my mind and not yours.

[Lucky Joe]

If the guests where like "Hello, my name is Joe and I'd like to be apart of this community" would be fine.

Also, you should not allow guests to make threads. Because say if one person who talks like this....

"H@I 5UyZzz!!@!@!12131@! M4h n4m3 !$ J03!!@2#1!!!!"
Made a thread. It would be a mods nightmare...

[XdbX]

who said they would be able to ?

[Tawl]

I don't see the point to be honest.

[XdbX]

the topic of the thread was forum DQ5 but what lucky and i have been talking about is how we would deal with there being guest. and the reason for the guest idea is to help there being less user that only post 30 times then stop.

[Thunder]

How about a trial period? Each guest gets a couple of weeks to post, then they either upgrade to member or sod off? The IP address could work because if they tried to get in again, they could get:

'Your trial period has elapsed. Ha ha ha
- Vic

Upgrade to member?'

Oh wait, then people might think we're going to rob their credit card number or something.

[XdbX]

So you know they log your ip's fragger they lock his IP from i think just logging in/sighing up. maybe also coming in to the site.
plus having it like your idea would mean you would have to have more mods or something to combat the waves of noob that want to become members.
also as i think vic him self said... maybe it was oscar.
said something like they were not deleting user names that only have had 30 post or less. just so the users can log in when ever they want still.

[Thunder]

Wha?

I'll just play banjo for a while :banjo:.

[castlemanic]

i dont get why people post 30 posts and never come back, this is a good place, the guest posting thing could work but they would have to be limited to a certain forums page, insta ban for stuff like what a previous member suggested full of numbers and god knows what else, it could work tho, and trial period might work to, altho 'upgrade' wouldnt be the term used, it would be like 'sign up for full membership which allows yadda yadda yadda' and so on, it could work but it would be tricky too.

[XdbX]

yes
that is why it will be at least DQ5 or not at all

[Victory]

...

Just one sec... There we go.

I just hade to take my meds so I don't fall down into a manic deppresion over how loathsomely pathetic this thread is. So it's all sunshine and kisses from my end =D

... No, it really isn't.

You'd have to bat f'uck insane to give guests a right to roam the forums like a member! I mean, member privileges are the reason you join for Pete's sake!

The only improvement I seek is getting rid of the dead meat.

[castlemanic]

and the dead meat would be?

[Lucky Joe]

The people who don't post anymore. Like the people that post 5 times then leave.

[Thunder]

There's a little green light beside the 'report' button. It tells you if the person is online or not.

[New Generation]

A neat chatbox.

[XdbX]

I have seen that done before and ether 3 things happen
1 Can't load it for some reason.
2 Filter blocks it (Not really a good reason not to put it up)
3 No ones ever on it even when there is a bigger then DQ's fan base.
It could work. I don't know if it will be DQs feel though.

None of use want that, now do we?

I agree with your post, Lucky.

DQ5 is a great idea, but I think Oscar is more focused on the flash.

[Thunder]

We could leave him do Rep, THEN flood his pm box with pleas for a new DQ.

[XdbX]

We have had DQ4 for less then a year.
There is no point in having DQ5 yet,
Ok so what if we had it so you click a tab and the flash menu pops up. you click on a flash movie. it loads in the sane page. if you want to go back to the forums then all you need is to click the forums tab. and it will load in the same page. if you want to go back to your movie then all you had to click is a movie tab. and it will take you to your movie where you left it.

[Victory]

Here's an idea. Take all your ideas... Put them in a sack... And then go kill yourself. I'll tourch the sack later, when it's decomposed a bit. You get rabies from that stuff, man! Have to be careful.

[XdbX]

To add to my idea.
Ever this would be running in the same page.
So let's say you have DQ as your home page.
and lets also say you were to click on the flash tab.
Then you would being looking at the flash page but you did not leave the first page.
So if you want click back it would not work because you did not leave the first page. it is all one page.

[Klawg]

Yeah. Infact, Oscar will quit all that repercussions stuff, just so he can re-arrange DQ. Brilliant.

[Thunder]

SHUT UP KLAWG HE MIGHT HEAR YOU!

But I think the idea where you pick up your movie where you left off is a good idea. Cause then you could wath all the castle series back-to-back without waiting for them to load.

[XdbX]

Yeah. Infact, Oscar will quit all that repercussions stuff, just so he can re-arrange DQ. Brilliant.
Well if you really think that the case then you should read the rest of the thread.
People of DQ hate noobs because they do not use there head.
I call my self a noob. You are saying that because a noob use his mind for the betterment of all DQ user that it is a noob idea that will never work.
then you do not want a better DQ where noobs become members.
all the members talk about how they hate noobs but when one trys to help the group you just try to push him.

ok there is my norant that is a rant.

TR I was thinking you click on flash you get a list of flash movies. when you click on one it loads. if you go out side the flash it saves where you were
for when you come back. but if you wanted to watch something else i was thinking that you had to load that also. and the after you are done you would have to load the other movie.

OK so um we could still make your add on to the ideal work...
if we use the EVIL jave code. :( sorry that means i will have to turn off all my jave blockers

[Thunder]

I still don't get it.

AAAANYway, I was thinking that if Oscar put DQ members into the game it would be awesome. Of course, People wold have to earn it AND it will bump up the amout of active users.

Just an idea for Vic to murder me for.

[Klawg]

Wait... Could someone get me a translator? I really have no idea what you are rambling on about. Stop acting senile, and make sense. But technically, from what I could make out:

Noob = moron, doesn't use head
You called yourself a noob. Therefore, you are equal to a moron.
So, why listen?

______
It's all about priority. Maybe a feature like that would be "cool", but Oscar is kind of busy now, and adding a "cool" feature like this would be too time-consuming, which will have you all whining about the Repercussions release date.

Thus, it is not worth it at all. It's better to invest time into more important things, rather than spend lifetime on some really cool features.

[Thunder]

Yeeeaaaah, did you just spend that post saying XdbX is a moron?

[Netrosis]

Oooook. As coder, infrastructure designer for DQ's website and part designer, I can tell you that making your ideas a reality, while they seem simple in function, are either too complex to bother (seriously, assigning a name to EVERY IP? wtf?) or just plain not worth bothering about.

The way I see it, Deletion Quality is a community. If you wanna be a part of the community, you sign up to the forums. So what if some people make 30 posts, thats their decision, and its their obligation to come back at their own discretion. Some people simply don't like what they see, and theres no need to judge them discriminately or objectively. Its a part of life, its part of being a website on the internet.

As for the flash file loader thingy, its good in theory, and I can tell you I've considered it before. However one of the reasons its not feasible, is the fact that the different animations are of different dimensions, sizes, frame rates and so forth. Secondly in the way which flash handles a file within a file, its not the most efficient way and for smaller files, yeah its fine, for these bigger files reaching 3mb+ it causes lag, amongst other things. Another reason its not feasible is updating old content and inserting new content. There are ways to do it, but most are too complex to worry about.

In all honesty, if you can't be bothered clicking on a link to open another page to watch a flash movie, or to click on a link to go to another web page, web content or whatever, then GET OFF THE INTERNET. ok?

[Thunder]

Net, you just ruined the thread. it was about SPECULATION.

[XdbX]

No infact he made the thread better.
the thread was about ideas.
He um sort of killed my all ready dead guest idea.

So maybe we are taking this to far.
we are trying to make the site look cooler and that is not what it needs.
What is needs are new ideas.
for one.
How about we have a writing page where storys people have done on DQ have a chance of making it up there.
Yes we have a writing page for admin and mods but not for members.
and only mods or admin could say what should go there.

so what do you think

[Netrosis]

We could leave him do Rep, THEN flood his pm box with pleas for a new DQ.

This line of thought, is selfish. Seriously, Oscar, myself, Rezuth, the mods and the community behind DQ have worked hard to make it what it is today. Us admin make updates to the website when necessary. But spamming, begging, whining, and other methods of mass annoyance for yet another version of DeletionQuality would seriously piss us off and I'd be personally inclined to ban you.

The site works fine, we have a good community, good mods and of course we got Oscar. He does all this voluntarily, infact he actually pays to have the website hosted, so people can view the movies. Honestly what more do you want?

We've gotten lots of different suggestions about what people would like at DQ, and we're added some, but others just aren't meant to be. Just an example, a while back people kept asking for a portal to put up their movies. TBH theres lots of places on the net you can host your movies at, then link to them. The trouble of adding, moderating and maintaining a portal is just too much. A chat room, while it may be cool in theory, I find the forums are much more accomodating for discussion on a lot of subjects. If you make friends on DQ, thats great. If you wanna chat with them, send them a private message and see if they would be happy chatting with you, then you might exchange your MSN, AIM, ICQ or <other> chat program details. Keeping in mind with people from all over the world, we're all in different timezones.


Net, you just ruined the thread. it was about SPECULATION.

No people were giving suggestions. Speculation is theorising a formulated guess about something.

But.. This forum section is the report section. Supposed to be used to let members tell us when somethings out of place, but you can use it to suggest stuff too, thats fine. I'll leave the thread open if anyone has anything constructive to add to the discussion. Just please use your head before you speak (type).

[Silence]

I liked what you did in DQ3 with removing the post count. Can you do that again?

[XdbX]

Do you want all post count removed or your or others?

[Silence]

No, you don't understand.

You see the post counder under your join date? That number that goes up once every time you spam a post? That will be gone.

[Aval]

That happened in DQ 3?

[DrunkCat]

Apparently so.

[XdbX]

No, you don't understand.

You see the post counder under your join date? That number that goes up once every time you spam a post? That will be gone.


Do you want all post count removed?
Yes i know what the post count is.

Thank you silence. I think this might be a good idea.
Taking out the post count will take way the reason to spam for most.

[Netrosis]

Geez, its just a post count. It doesn't count for e-peen or anything. Seriously whats all the fuss over it?

[XdbX]

Geez, its just a post count. It doesn't count for e-peen or anything. Seriously whats all the fuss over it?
I was cranky that day like most days.
But any ways we all so far are saying take it off.
There might be more member saying keep it.

[Silence]

Geez, its just a post count. It doesn't count for e-peen or anything. Seriously whats all the fuss over it?

I'm not fussing. It was a good idea that you did back then, and I think it's still a good idea. I'm not flipping out about it, I'm just suggesting an idea. I wouldn't really mind if you didn't implement it.

[Aval]

I don't know about everyone else, but I really miss that frame on the main page that showed the six most recent posts on the forum.

[Silence]

Yea, I REALLY missed that. One of my favorite features.
