@Catch: yeah, but where to steal that much moderators to get that forum ordered? ;)
well, we'll see what we can do.

@MindTrix: thx for your offer, but we have a Testboard with an old vb.org DB, so no need for a board by you ;)
Also we have a teststyle on this page, where i do all greater Templatechanges before adding it to the global set, so everyone can see ;)

but you all know, what informations are around in the postbit template, so feel free to submit template suggestions as well.

Hello Xenon,

You just added some new moderators and that should help make things better. You are trying to delegate and that is all that can be expected. No one demands perfection because we all know how difficult it is to manage a busy site. Good luck to everyone!

I just spent a few hours reading through 46 pages of the vb3 modification request forum and it was extremely disorganized. I saw some requests repeated at least 25 times.

It would be best if people could organize their thoughts and post only essential ideas, but unless the vb.org posters suddenly become more intelligent perhaps the forum should be heavily moderated so things are merged or redundant threads are locked.

Some threads in that forum have actual hacks posted (as replies to the request) but it is buried in a thread...not released as a hack! A couple of nice gems are lost because of this confusion.

When there are a dozen threads requesting the same thing, in one thread a coder says he is working on it and in a different thread a different coder volunteers to do the hack. They might be disappointed when they find it was redundant efforts.

Other threads have people requesting features that are defaults in vb3. Other threads have people requesting hacks that already exist. I did not have time to point this out to everyone. But if a request is filled, maybe the thread can be closed or the title can be changed to add the [Answered] prefix.

I do not want to be negative because I know how much work it must take to keep this place going. There is so much to be done and everyone runs out of time. But the request forum is fairly important to match people who want to make hacks for fun with people who need help with problems. It was just disheartening to see it in such a condition.
i think you're right, it would be great to have that place cleaned up a little and filled hack requests moved to another forum or deleted.

I may have missed it in another thread, but was there a reason for turning off the "Similar Threads"? I personally found those most handy for finding, obviously, similar results on what I was looking for. In fact quite a number of answer to searches I have run both here and on vB.com came from thread listed in those results rather than the thread itself I was in.

Xenon 03-30-2004 04:24 PM
As the Serverloads are currently very high, we decided to disable that feature.
Also the experience showed, that the similar threads were not that similar as they should have been ;)

Yes, but adding an idiot moderator as myself makes Xenon's job even harder trying to fix the mistakes I will contantly be making. I think he felt sorry for me. Must have been all of the crying and begging I was doing at the time. ;)

People were also bringing up 2/3 year old threads from it so that's another reason why it was removed.

And you said it wasn't just the money. By the way, it was 5000$. Someone is holding out on you it seems. It's all becoming clear now, my friend. ;)

[high]* Boofo would start thinking what have I gotten myself into now if he could form a thought of some kind on his own.[/high]

Xenon 03-30-2004 06:31 PM
the other 2000$ went to Logician, as he has had to agree ;)

ok, serious again: I'm currently very busy because of universitythings, but these are finished soon, and then i can continue adding features to this site :)
