board stuff list

Post by Crunchums » Tue Sep 04, 2018 1:43 am

i know there's a thread already but i want a thread where i can keep a list of things and then edit them

things:
  • remove nested quotes button
  • quick quote button
  • the active topics / unread posts should include a column that's which subforum the thread is in which is a link to that subforum and a column for the user who created the thread
  • disable avatar links to profile
  • spoiler tags
  • i don't think we need a million subforums like grobot had but it might be nice to have a few forums instead of just only "Everything"
  • ability to ignore other users
  • some of the old smilies are missing :kiddo:
  • make it so you can see who started a thread (outside of active topics / unread posts)
  • get rid of some of the shitty smilies
  • bring back that functionality where you could click on a number by a thread and it would show you all the posts made in that thread broken out by user
  • polls are broken
  • the PM CSS is broken
  • "changed thread titles still show the original in the subforum display"
  • GG's "ignore thread" functionality (i.e. ability to ignore threads so they won't show up in active topics / unread posts)

I miss seeing the words Grotesque Rotisserie fwiw

i'll get that done today. i'd like for quick quote to work too and i have stared long and hard at its code, and at good gamery's too, and it all seems pretty simple, like just take some text from one place and put it into another place, but, you know, this is like staring at a spell. i'm not a magician

also, if you guys know php we could be like ... coding stuff into the website itself

things that i thought made sense on grobot:
Miscellaneous Games
Energizer's Grotesque Rotisserie of Arts & Entertainment
Look At This Stupid Picture I Found
Video Games, Comic Books, Anime and Other Reasons Girls Won't Talk to Me

but probably 4 is too many? it feels like the things are
games (e.g. video, board, card)
media (e.g. movies, anime, TV)
look at this stupid X that i found (e.g. tweet, video, image)
but i'm not sure what the right way to group things is

the way I just described it is basically those same categories except "Video Games, Comic Books, Anime and Other Reasons Girls Won't Talk to Me" got absorbed into the others; maybe that's fine?

i think it should be a bit more like

Chio's Trash Zone, video games, anime, comics i guess?

it's weird the way things get split, like, media, stupid image / video etc, but then also tv and movies? doesn't feel like it fits right? and then what do you do with everything. if we specialize then is everything just gonna be like lotus and this thread is for posting in?

but then i wouldnt want things to be so broad either, like. if you wanna talk about media, then it's over here. and everything can be everything else

it'd probably be nice to have a like forum games zone thing so they can take up their own space, but then that subforum is what one thread?

everything will still have tons of stuff, i'm not worried about that
my main thought is right now everything feels too crowded and so it would be nice to have a few more subforums

forum games would be a fine subforum to have; it may only have 2 threads at the moment but it's like 100% that there will be additional threads that fit there in the future

i guess qualitatively anime and webcomics and stuff goes with tv and movies, but i think i feel you here - tv and movies could fit in everything
in that framework Energizer's Grotesque Rotisserie of Arts & Entertainment is the one that gets absorbed. i think that makes sense - it has 7 threads with posts in 2018 and then the 8th thread's most recent post is in 2016
the others are 11, 17, 11 with a drop off to 2017 instead

so yeah i am feeling:
Miscellaneous Games
Look At This Stupid Picture I Found
Video Games, Comic Books, Anime and Other Reasons Girls Won't Talk to Me
Forum Games

as the subforums, dunno what clever name you want to give them

sure i guess
the reason to split them out would be if there were a ton of forum games crowding out the other stuff
but might as well hold off on solving that problem until we actually have it

I never read threads outside of Everything on grobot because like 95% of the interesting content was in there, so if you start creating a bunch of subforums that's basically just removing content. So, uh, I support anime and forum game sub forums?
