New Moderator

[sperry]

Well, I finally decided I need help...

...actually, I knew that a while ago, but this time it's help with moderating the board that I need.

So MattR's out 1st moderator! Make sure to piss him off so he can ban you and feel useful. ;) :lol:

[ArthurS]

Oh....don't worry.....we will be sure to piss him off.... :twisted:

[STIwish]

dats cool, congrats Matt.

[MattR]

Oh....don't worry.....we will be sure to piss him off.... :twisted:

Hahaha! I will never be like the Nasioc Nazi's of old..., but Art, I might just ban you because I can , hahaha

BTW, thanks Scott.

[STIwish]

Hmmmm.. I wonder if I could unban myself....

[tysonK]

so how much did he pay you?

[MattR]

hahaha!

[BOO]

MATT Congrats!!!!! You have earned it dude !!! 8)

[tysonK]

So what else can you do besides ban people matt? I mean show us some of your super-powers or we won't really think you are a moderator just b/c your name is orange now!

[AtomicLabMonkey]

I wanna be a moderator too. I lust after having an orange tint over my name at the bottom of the screen...

[ZER026D]

you can ban me

[sperry]

The best part is... this board sucks so much, that Matt's complete moderator abilities pretty much amount to being able to sticky threads and have an orange name.

Hell, I'm not even sure how to operate the ban function on here! :lol:

[STIwish]

I KNOW!!! :)

[AtomicLabMonkey]

Hell, I'm not even sure how to operate the ban function on here! :lol:

Oooh, ooooh... I'l figure it out. Make me one, make me one... :lol:

If you can orange tint Austin, can you give me a pink one? :lol:

[tysonK]

I would like a dark green tint now that we are asking.

[sperry]

Go to hell, you can all have what ever fucking color name you want just as soon as you program the message board to handle all the different colors.

That's very nice of you Tyson, so your exempt from the following statement,.

You all can go to hell

Matt is the best Mod here anyway, so bitch at him for a while. He deserves all the accolades and props for the direction of this site.


:wink: :wink: :wink:

[MikeSTI]

Scott :wink:
ha ha, this is just like the tempermental coder's response I got, when I asked a programmer at work to build a blinking red error message when an error condition was met. I guess part of that reaction was because it was for a green screen as400 program, :lol:
Ditto to what Tyson said, well-done on managing this site, and all us ass-clowns :lol: (did I SAY that???).

[STIwish]

Dude, if you're going to be that way about it... GET MORE FUCKING SMILIES!!! j/k :)

[MattR]

Hahaha! Sorry Mike, I have no idea how to change the colors, I don;t have access to that shit. like "Scott" said above, there are a lot of other things to do to the site before colored names will happen. Also, Scott is currently writing new software for our SCCA scoring, so he has his hands full.









I had to write all this defending Scott, cause I posted the shit above under his name :lol:

[MattR]

BTW, my new title is cool/

"Welcome to the El Matt-ador.......spanish for The Matt-ador"



BTW - Funniest movie evAr.

The best mod? He's the only mod - you're the administrator. :wink:

Actually, it wouldn't be that hard to allow users to set their own colors.... ;) (add a field to the user table with the HTML color code then have the select from users table statement include that color field. Then just apply that color to the user's text).

At the same time, this would slow down the board exponentially as more users logged in since you'd have an extra x^2 db calls per user (at least I think that's the math) logged into the board. The way around that would probably be to store the color field in the table that stores the logged in users. (haven't looked at phpBB structure in a while, but I seem to remember one)

So basically, what sperry said.

Okay 1st off... Matt posted all those things under my name (if you didn't catch his yellow colored confession).

2nd... changing the text color is even more work than Joel mentioned. The 1st step is editing the DB to store a color. Then I'd have to edit the code that displays the user's name and all of the template files for each theme, which would include: the post display code and templates, the user control panel code and template files, the admin and moderator control panel code and template files, and the pm system. I'd also have to add all the controls and forms for allowing the admins, mods, and users to change the color, which is another mess of source code and template files. I'm guessing I'd have to modify like 2/3rds of the entire code base to get this working.

3rd... once all that's done and working, it prevents me from ever upgrading the board's software, since I'd have to go and re-do all the changes. In fact, just the simple little addition of the [img = size] tag has kept me from upgrading the board... and that's not hard to re-implement after an upgrade!

So, no colors. :P I can add it into the code I'm writing for our own board, but that project is back burnered since the gallery and board are working pretty good as it is, and I've got plenty of other projects going with the AutoX timing application, rallycross development, and all the racing/track events coming up.

ok ok, I withdraw my request, I'll just play with fonts instead.

[ArthurS]

Bwhahahha...good idea Debbie. This should drive them nuts

[MikeSTI]
