No use crying over it. It's given us something to comment about, but that's boring now.
Let's focus on the new and what we'll do about it.
One good thing that's come out of it is the suggestion that we do something unique. Good suggestion.
We looked at resurrecting the bastardisations, not looking good so far. My gripe about that is that they were all originally Cr0's humour. And they were what drove people to det1 in hordes. A few other people tried doing their own bastardisations, this mainly entailed copying cr0's content and running the same gag line over and over in the same speech bubbles.
So, what can we do?
Well, it's K's resposibility really as to what goes on HIS site. But, he's a self confessed non-admin type and non-tech type and is quite dissimilar to cr0 in all aspects. So should we expect something in the same vein? No.
What IS K good at. Ok, he feeds himself (usually) through photography.
He likes to write/post/ramble.
He visits LOTS of different forums and sites with the amount of spare time he has right now.
He's willing to get on with everyone and has time for us all.
So here's my suggestions, a whole 2 of them:
1: You guys think for a bit and then post some unique things he/we could do for regular content.
2: Photos.
K knows cameras and photos. I'm not ashamed to admit I got the idea from SA's photoshop phriday.
Instead of giving us a topic of images to edit and add the standard "It's a trap" and "OMG, LOL" text, give us a topic to express in photos.
A whole bunch of us have cameras, digital and 35mm, which we'd be quite willing to use. The problem is space.
A lot of people post images here and do so from their own domains, some like me, don't have this available.
We'd need to have a 'gallery room' to submit photos.
We also need to decide on rules.
Who judges? Just K? Then we just need to mail them to him. The collective? Then we need a gallery and a (working! poll.
Do we post 10 or just 3 of the best? Thumbnails?
Resolution. Decide on a permitted submission resolution to save space and those still on modems/carrier pigeons.
Can images be edited or tweaked?
Tell us whether you think this would work guys. Do we have the space on the webhost?
Then K, all you do is pick a subject topic, even just a word or concept, and wait for the submissions. Then judge which ones should go through to final judging.
Do it over say a 2 week period.
Let's see what happens.
Everyone else, think of stuff to do or comment on this. Give us a yea or nay.
(Edit: spelling - I'm anal sometimes)

Well IF I can ever convince these bastards that a CMS is the way to go, we could easily have:
News that works and allows anyone to submit to. Which is then approved by Admin/Authors. And is automatically archived. A way to Search for news posts.
Survey's that actually work.
Integrated Forums that actually work, and have working polls as well.
A place to store Bastardizations, that is also integrated so that you don't loose the homepage links.
And finally a Photos section that allows registered users to submit there own photos, which then go into a queue for admin approval before posting....
All of this runs on a single sign-on system. All the code is already done. All that would have to be done, is a slight re-vamp of the images, and editing one Cascading Style Sheet, in order to change over the color scheme....

So fucking do it (j/k) and help change things for the better.
Q1: What's the cost in time and money?
Q2: Who's gonna admin it? If only you know how to operate it, who does it when you're gone/absent?
Q3: What's stopping you?

Hopefully just Kevin. It's easy enough for a monkey to do it. He would have a special block that looked like this:
Administration
· Administration
· NEW Story
· Change Survey
· Content
· Logout
Waiting Content
· Submissions: 0
· Waiting Reviews: 0
· Waiting Links: 0
· Downloads: 0
· Photos: 0
Simply click on the link if there is content waiting, and approve or disapprove it...
| Quote | | Q3: What's stopping you? |
Owner of site + DL = Request Denied
Simple fact of it all. All the code is done, it works, and works well... The only thing that would need to be edited is images, and the template.
That is MAYBE a 1 day, 1 man, job. It's something I could do, and did do for the site refferenced above. I just figured someone more artistically talented than me, may want to have a go at it...
Or hell, the system supports multiple themes. You could easily make several them and give the users a choice.

What about running it as a mirror to test?

I offered to do that as well, and was told things like:
"Fuck You" "You suck raw eggs" "Quit trying to redesign DetNet and Post Content" "Post Content or shut the fuck up." etc. etc. etc...
I'm not going to trouble myself for people who don't want help. If any interest was shown by the people who would actually make it happen, then I would gladly release the source code in all it's glory...
But as it stands, I'm still waiting for some peoples prides to be swallowed, and admit that this is a better system, that could potentially open the door for content.
At the very least, it solves problems that are already existing... Even if you never add a page of content ever again.

hmm.
as one of your nay-sayers, it now seems that i have my foot in my mouth.
this sounds a very good idea, jim.

Sir? May I recommend I load myself into the reverse-thrust tubes and you use my body as decoy-fodder? This will, of course leave me splattered across deep space and unable to complete today's laundry, for which I apologise in advance.

Jim, I thought it was an awesome idea when I first heard about it in the Richard is making pictures thread.
WilleyPete, your idea reminds me of www.16color.com
Everyone could submit whatever pictures they want and then later we could make voting catigories. Either way... awesome concept and I'll definately participate!
