I'm tired of doing IotD
 

It's been a good long run folks, but damn, every goddamn day... it's finally gotten to me.

Should I make it an open forum? Where anyone can contribute an image?

WOW...no....make bruce do it.

or go every other day/week with him .....

srsly . . . ...Bruce...uh..."volunteered"!... . . . :::takes one step back at exactly the same time as everybody else:::

I asked him at one point... and axlrosen

If I volunteered, it would have to be "Image of the Workdays and Days I Don't Take Personal Days or Vacation Days and Days I Am Not Sick and Days I'm Not Swamped." Otherwise, it'd be fun.

'Toad? Don't tase me, bro.

What if we (Cellar members) voted on submissions before they went out for general (actual IotD w/ Blog view etc.) consumption?

Have an IotD "staging" thread.

What if it was IotW (image of the week)?

IotEoD?

image of the every other day?

IotSS

Image of the Summer Solstice

IothEtTHtit21st?

Image of the every third Thrusday that isn't the 21st?

srsly, if you open it up to general posting, it will lose all integrity. there will be multiple pics one day, none the next, etc.

appoint 7 people. give them mod status to that forum. assign 1 day per each. have standards, teach them how you do it.

i'd do 1 day per week for a quarter.

i mean a quarter of the calendar,.....not trying to negotiate salary here.

The voting problem... one thing that this vBulletin software is really bad at, is hooks to the outside world. I was able to code up the IotD blog view pretty easily because it's read-only, you know, in programming, reading something is usually much more trivial than writing it. Then I wrote a queue manager which holds pending images and the posts them when I press the "publish" button.

But the first time I ran it, it logged me out and changed my user title to the default. I shit you not. This is because I used some of the vBulletin functions to post the message, but didn't fully understand what else the function needed to do first. It does a lot of things with the user, before and after posting the post...

So it's hard to write additions where a logged-in user is verified to be logged in, then the user information is used to count a vote, then back to the old forums... and it wouldn't work to have people log in twice, they wouldn't do it.

More time for coding is wot i need

I'm sorry, I don't speak Undertoadinese.

(This is why I couldn't do it because I have no idea what you're talking about.) ;)

what?!
