    Re: Who Killed The Ceroc Scotland Forum?

    wanted to make a cake especially for this thread...

    but had trouble tracking down :-
    Fish shaped ethyl benzene
    Fish shaped volatile organic compounds
    12 medium geosynthetic membranes
    1 cross borehole electro-magnetic imaging rhubarb.

    among other things.. The fish shaped dirt and Sediment shaped sediment are coming along nicely though..


    Cake anyone?

    Re: Who Killed The Ceroc Scotland Forum?

    OK I'm bringing this comment back to the notice of everyone..

    If what is said about the search engine is true (and I can heartily believe it - I have searched for the Message in a Bottle Thread several times, and it never is the top result, despite the fact that this appears to be the only thread to have the words message and bottle - in the title! ), then if it was replaced with a better search and combine it with the idea below we would end up with a really good archive of information...

    I have been in here for 3 years, and I have to rely on members who have been here for longer to point me towards the older information... I think this would be really useful for most of the forum sections, with the possible exception of the social polls, which could be left to die peacefully.

    Cheers Whitetiger

    So lets do away with repping the PERSON.. but rep the POST instead. Positively scored threads get highlighted/ promoted, negatively scored ones 1st get dimmed then hidden. (NOT deleted) if you want to read them you have that option to expand hidden posts and view what's there.

    people then get the choice.. do they want to see or not see negatively repped posts? Thicker skinned ones, who like an argument , can view by default.. or set their hidden threshold lower. Other people, faint souls like me can set their threshold higher and see less of them.

    both sides win, no body takes it personally as it's anonymous.. and one vote per person per post. Everyone has the same say.and in the end you can set your own personal threshold as low or as high as you like anyway giving you your own personal forum experience.

    and it would do away with the relatively meaningless rep system as it stands. I mean, don't get me wrong.. I like getting (+) rep.. and thanks to everyone who's thanked/repped me in the past. but because I have a rep score of xxxx does that mean I know what I'm talking about when it comes to Tango or Jango or Blues or musicality? non!

    I started implementing a similar system to the WoW forum I hosted but there wasn't enough content to work with. Also , implementing this from scratch the old threads would have no scores (so therefore be rep neutral) until someone voted for/against them.

    Just an idea.

    the oldest one - it seems the forum only keeps the last 5000 posts. It's sad that so much of your genius may be lost, but wait! theres google

    Found this one: http://www.cerocscotland.com/forum/s...?t=1843&page=2

    I'm sure there's earlier ones, but I haven't found a terribly good way of finding them.

    Edit: above link is the thread, the actual post is: http://www.cerocscotland.com/forum/s...2&postcount=28 (Dec 2003)

    No, searches are limited to 5,000 results – which isn't the same thing.
