Reimer: Self-updating top posters list possible?

Imitation Gruel

Sat Apr 20 02:04:59 2002

This would be cool to have, if you could code one up. A forum I found recently has one.

:sagrin:

It's a great idea.  I'll look into it.

From memory, only AYB and I are above 3000. OW's got something between 2500 and 2600, and no one else is even at 1600 or more. Somewhat dominant, that.

And AYB's about 500 ahead of me.

I thought IG was our Self-updating top posters list maker?
Imitation Gruel

Sat Apr 20 07:23:54 2002

The list would remake itself, automatically, without my intervention; thus saving me work.

I like things that save me work. :sagrin:

I have less. But, less is more, so I have more. More or less.

Judging from the amount of useless post upping threads, no, you dont.

Jeremy Reimer

Sat Apr 20 19:17:36 2002

I have added a Memberlist page!!   By default it shows Top Ten posters by postcount, but you can change that to view other lists, including a complete member list.

Click on the top banner on the right hand side where it says Memberlist, or when you first enter the Pegasus3d message forums it's under the category "member list" in the forums page.

Am I cool or what??

Jeremy Reimer

Sat Apr 20 19:38:54 2002

Man, I have to get posting more, if only to get on the top 10 page (and bump off Socrates!)
Jeremy Reimer

Sat Apr 20 20:57:46 2002

Testing something..
Jeremy Reimer

Sat Apr 20 20:58:48 2002

Testing again...
Jeremy Reimer

Sat Apr 20 21:01:41 2002

I've added a hack that allows you to bookmark posts as links, and also redirects you to your post automatically after you finish posting, instead of having to go to the last page in a thread.  

However to test this I need to make this thread 2 pages at least...

Jeremy Reimer

Sat Apr 20 21:02:31 2002

testing..
Jeremy Reimer

Sat Apr 20 21:02:47 2002

man, when will this get to the second page?
Jeremy Reimer

Sat Apr 20 21:03:50 2002

ahem
Jeremy Reimer

Sat Apr 20 21:04:05 2002

....
Jeremy Reimer

Sat Apr 20 21:04:38 2002

some more to go...
Jeremy Reimer

Sat Apr 20 21:04:55 2002

just a little more...
Jeremy Reimer

Sat Apr 20 21:05:14 2002

well, if nothing else, it gets my postcount up...

postcount++ !!

Jeremy Reimer

Sat Apr 20 21:05:25 2002

almost there...
Jeremy Reimer

Sat Apr 20 21:10:03 2002

It WORKED!

I am TEH WINNAR!!!!!

I remember when this suggestion (redirecting to your post automatically when replying to a multi-page thread when replying) was made in the Openforum suggestion page... the answer was "yes, that's a great idea, but it will take a long time to implement, it's a major code change, etc, etc, blah blah blah"  They did finally implement it, but...

.. it's not a major change.  A few lines of code.  Tee hee.

Jeremy Reimer

Sat Apr 20 21:15:22 2002

And yes, I know the code to ikonboard isn't the same as the code to Openforum.  But they both do the same thing, namely, post messages.  

I know OSY is just a little fun hobby forum, but there are some advantages to this.

I am at the top of the  member list.  I am very happy with this.  Well done JR!

It's joyful. Four-star work, Reimer.

Apparently I need to do a bit of work to get there.

Pisser, that.
Ah well. :D
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:06:40 2002

postCount++;
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:07:17 2002

Heh, let's see...
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:07:45 2002

if I have multiple instances of OSY open...
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:08:06 2002

then I can post again
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:08:41 2002

while the first window is updating.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:09:02 2002

Hmmmph. Flood control, eh?
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:09:17 2002

How bloody annoying.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:09:38 2002

But I shall perservere.

(Edited by Magus at 1:10 am on April 22, 2002)

Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:10:28 2002

Aren't you impressed?
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:10:46 2002

No? Well, screw you!
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:11:07 2002

I don't need your approval.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:11:42 2002

I'm smart, I'm good, and dammit, people like me.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:12:10 2002

Although the occasional bit of approval might be nice...
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:12:35 2002

But if I can't have it, I can't have it.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:12:49 2002

Oh well.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:13:19 2002

At least I got this thread to page three.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:13:35 2002

Fairly quickly too.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:13:59 2002

I guess having three browsers open does help.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:14:32 2002

So I'm racking up a few numbers...
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:15:02 2002

Though nowhere near the mighty AYB...
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:15:20 2002

But I'll do my best.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:15:50 2002

So, what shall we discuss, you and I?
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:16:14 2002

Religion? Politics? The Great Pumpkin?
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:16:41 2002

None of those topics piques your interest, you say?
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:17:11 2002

Hmmm, I suppose I could ask how you're doing.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:17:57 2002

But since you'll prolly answer after I've gone to sleep...
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:18:26 2002

I fear you wouldn't have my full attention.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:19:07 2002

So, I guess I'll simply extend my hopes that all is well for you, reader.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:19:45 2002

I'm currently being lazy, because I just don't give a damn.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:20:32 2002

I have two papers, three programs, and one semester project all due within the next week and a half.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:21:02 2002

To call me 'stressed' would be a serious understatement.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:21:39 2002

Add 'depressed' because I have not female companionship...
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:22:16 2002

And you'll see I'm in a lovely mental state.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:22:47 2002

I'm sorry, have I depressed you too?
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:23:04 2002

I really didn't mean to.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:23:17 2002

Honest.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:23:42 2002

Let's see, what can we talk about?
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:24:00 2002

We could make fun of the BF...
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:24:23 2002

But that's hardly original for OSY.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:24:52 2002

We could talk about your dedication.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:25:24 2002

After all, you've read all this tripe.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:26:09 2002

Why, I've nearly written two pages now.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:26:43 2002

I'm more desperate for a distraction than I thought.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:27:10 2002

So, how's life been treating you, reader?
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:28:01 2002

How's the gf/wife/SO/sex slave?
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:28:30 2002

Remember, if you do have one of those that loves you...
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:28:51 2002

You're very fortunate.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:29:18 2002

Take some time in the near future to tell 'em what you think.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:31:06 2002

Whether you say it as, "I adore the poops you take on OW's head, my little sweet potato" or "Damn, you're a fine bitch!"...
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:31:27 2002

Tell em how you feel.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:31:49 2002

You might get sex0red

Mon Apr 22 06:32:21 2002

Or at least some playtime with teh b00bies.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:32:58 2002

Well now, I seem to have passed 700...
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:33:15 2002

That's roughly 50 posts.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:33:32 2002

So, I think I'll go to bed now.
Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:33:53 2002

Magus, you're so far behind the leaders that even if you kept three windows open for two hours posting every 5-15 seconds, you'd still not be #1.

I figure you'll tire by 1000. If you break 1500 this way without stopping, you'll get my respect.

I'll check back sometime later today.

Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:34:04 2002

Good night, dear friend, if I may have the honor of so addressing you.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:34:33 2002

Sleep well, and may the week be at least tolerable for you.
Imitation Gruel

:sagrin: Just kidding.

Mon Apr 22 06:35:35 2002

Mon Apr 22 06:36:00 2002

Ah, I don't seek to dethrone #1.
Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:36:11 2002

Interesting strategy.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:36:29 2002

That were a goal beyond mine patience, vast though it is.
Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:37:00 2002

You seek, then, perhaps #3?

Only need to get to 2533 without him posting to claim it. That's only about 1800 more posts.

Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:37:23 2002

Perhaps when I have another lazy/procrastination spell...
Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:37:39 2002

We've been at this longer than you. You'll learn.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:37:56 2002

And I have taken this thread to page 5 after all...
Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:38:07 2002

I've done 150 in an hour with one window open.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:38:14 2002

Don't I get some credit for that?
Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:38:27 2002

It is a bit fun.
Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:38:42 2002

Yes.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:39:00 2002

150 in a hour? How?
Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:39:12 2002

Remember though, that I've done 10-page threads alone.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:39:23 2002

The flood control doesn't get you?
Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:39:29 2002

I got bored.
Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:39:52 2002

One letter posts. Not sentences.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:39:54 2002

Or are you not really IG, but an IG-bot?
Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:40:16 2002

I'm the real thing. No bot here.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:40:30 2002

One letter posts?
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:40:54 2002

De gustibus non disputandem.
Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:40:57 2002

It's why I had the custom title Postcount Spammer Deluxe. At least until I asked for the new one.

Latin, "Of taste there is no disputing."
Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:41:34 2002

Yep, one letter, symbol, or number. I'm a professional.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:41:57 2002

I prefer sentences, short though they be.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:42:31 2002

But of course, I respect your postwhoring abilities.
Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:42:43 2002

You'll get there. The students learn.
Magus

Mon Apr 22 06:42:57 2002

Though it should be remembered that you've been here longer.
Imitation Gruel

Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:43:32 2002

Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:45:03 2002

Quad 3's didn't last long. I wonder when AYB hit that.

Doesn't matter though.

Ah, thanks.

Master of the Post Whore Tao

Nice custom title idea. I'll consider it.

Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:48:40 2002

But I rather like the current one.
Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:48:59 2002

So I might have it for a while.
Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:49:19 2002

And that one later.
Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:50:12 2002

I wonder who'll be first to quad-5's (5555)?
Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:50:32 2002

Probably AYB, but not for several months.
Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:51:06 2002

It'll be interesting. No more ranks though. Unfortunately.
Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:51:50 2002

Reimer'll have to change it to a non-Navy theme so that this current rank isn't highest.
Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:52:11 2002

That'll happen roughly never.
Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:52:48 2002

So we'll be Admiral top-heavy, among the elite. Or even the casual :D.
Imitation Gruel

Mon Apr 22 06:53:23 2002

Meh, whatever. I see I'm alone in this conversation so I quit. For now.
