I know you're still e still probably working on the Search Feature but could you possibly include an option to filter when a thread was started? I know looking through places like 1x1 can be hard when you're aiming to see threads you haven't seen in the past two weeks (new) when they're muddled with ones from months/years ago. Just a thought. ^^

Yeah, good idea. It's pretty necessary to be able to sort by new stuff, really. But I didn't think of that.

Nothing like a slightly heated discussion to bring in lots of posts.

@Mahz: Any further thoughts on adding additional RP tags? Or will that wait till after search is in?

I never did get sucked into that particular bottomless pit. Or Tumblr.

I'm on reddit, though. 'Nuff said.

Heh. If this is a lot of posts, the Myriad Reality RP is a planet full of them.

For what this is though, there are quite a bit of posts. I'm glad to see more people coming around.

This has basically become a few of things.
  • Debate with each other about things
  • Mahz lurks and does what he was going to do anyways.
  • We eventually like / become content with the thing.
  • ProxyMahz is wise and sage-like, and says "we" a lot.
  • The same users like each other's posts as if to reinforce the point.
  • The points get reinforced over and over.
  • The points get reinforced some more.
  • More debate.
  • Mahz still does what he was going to do.


*Disclaimer: I am not implying Mahz does not listen to us.

@LegendBegins I am aware. That was humor.

We needed some.

Major problem: Whenever I click on any link from the site, it forces open a new tab and redirects me to ads. Is it me or sm sort of s a site glitch?

Sounds like malware. First I need to find out if it's the Guild or just you.

Can you give me any URLs of the pages you end up on after it redirects you?

I am using an antivirus and it is receding. I will paste the URL here if it comes up again.

Half the ads I get on my laptop are for remote control hobby sites, mostly cause I use them a lot, and the other half are for Led glasses known as dropshades (happen to look at the site one time to see what they were).

On my mobile they seem to be mostly generic ads with an occasional university or android ad.

What I have noticed is AVG went nuts over an ad in the IRC chat that I accident click on once.

Yeah, honestly I kind of wish we'd go for the text only ads. Less obtrusive and usually a bit more relevant to the website or personal browsing habits. Not that you can't get an infection by clicking on some of them, but they're less likely to carry infections in the ad itself (via Flash or javascript).

Though I do believe the image ads tend to generate more money, and I'm all for supporting the Guild.

Speaking of money for the site and ads, could there eventually be a subscription enabling people to turn off ads? Also, I've seen sites where they have fake posts when not logged in that contain ads. Could that be utilised as well?

I truly hate both of these ideas. Donations, maybe, but I don't recall Mahz entertaining the idea, even when brought up.

That's fair enough. It's only ideas for generating money for the site without impacting members too much.

I'm caught up reading this topic now. I always read every post.

I spent an hour responding to various posts and came up with a bunch of bulleted thoughts, but I don't want to steer this topic so far off course again by pondering things so far in the distance.

There are various issues brought up in the past few pages too. Like @Awson said he can't edit titles anymore. I put these on my list. I'll rekindle the various discussions and yall's points when I get ready to cross those bridges. I know it's unfair of me to braindump a stream of consciousness into this thread like I did pages ago and then not respond to the torrent of feedback.

Anyways, I'm going to launch a basic search system tonight. I'd just like to prime yall and say it has kind of a shitty user experience right now. 95% of my time was spent on the technical implementation. Search is pretty hard.
