Well...

Although I think it sounds a good idea, it would only encourage people who are new to vB to copy existing hacks and call it their own, or cause people to start spamming the Full Releases forum just to get their hack to be "top"...

In theory it is a good idea, but in practice it isnt - We as vBulletin hackers shouldnt be put into competition with each other...In my experience, it wouldnt be fair on the newer or less knowledgable hackers, or the existing consistent hackers who have developed strong friendships amongst the community...Putting people into competition is never good for the community, as rivalrys and all sorts of bad feeling can seed from it...

yeah i agree with that and tried to compensate for that by saying to options and one would be the feedback to hacks after they had been posted.
Many people go out of their way to give help after a hack so this would ov been added to the table once they had voted.But yep you do raise some good points.

As do you

Perhaps a more immediate focus would be the Requests forum...

Also something I have noticed :

Is it just me, or are more and more requests being made in "General Hacking Discussion"?

I myself have found me asking Requests in there...

Perhaps a clean through of that forum as well might be a good idea

I think an ok suggestion would be to implement a sort of bot that Filburt has at his site, it could maybe only work in the Requests forum or so, and when someone 'requests' a hack, the bot searches the hacks database for it, and returns result, it seems to work at Web Design Forums, and I think the bot could also give the user some hints on how to search while it does it for them, which would encourage the user to use the features available, also may I state that if it is installed, do not tell anyone that it is a bot, don't even mention there is a bot

Very good idea

.

I doubt that Chen will want to hack this site anymore though... he's probably going to wait for vB3.

Thats a really good idea, would be useful to the community.

Dean C · #**177** 02-09-2003, 10:00 AM

I don't like the idea. You can never rely on AI and also this bot stuff. The day that vbulletin.org becomes run by an imaginary person is the day when my job here will be done

My two cents..

hmm, good idea, which will stop a lot where can i find this bla bla...

Thats the most annoying thing in the request forum and would make my work easier..

First of all, its not an AI, it just responds to certain formation of words. vBulletin.org will not be run by bots, it would only aid people in the Requests forum.

Also what job?

Dean C · #**180** 02-09-2003, 02:31 PM

In theory it is AI drk. But still no system is perfect. Like i said i just don't like the idea of an imaginary person helping people out as bot's do get things wrong. Also programming it to answer questions will take quite a long time.
