cB To-Do List, FOR THE PEOPLE Options

[Simba]

Ok, I've taken the libertie of starting a to-do list of stuff we can start doing without having to wait for Mr. Jusun "Micron" Lee. Because I guess we're all just gonna have to be a bunch of Mr. and Mrs. DIYs.

Add suggestions and I'll edit it in. If you're a mod, edit it in yourself, but don't screw up the format or anything stupid.

Yes people! We want to hear YOUR voices now. Serious suggestions only though, and if there is even a hint of spam, the person will be warned quicker than I can drink a shot of patron! Well...maybe not that quick! Let's hear your voices! I and the rest of staff are on a mission to try and see to it that we do the best we can to accommodate some of these suggestions.

The mods alone can't officially attach a wiki to cB without Jusun, just for the record. If you want to start prewriting articles, go ahead, and we can maybe set up a committee, but do what can be done.

[libertie]

We can always just start one hosted elsewhere for the time being.

http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:dokuwiki
This runs on PHP and no database, so I can host it on my cbstaff subdomain if there are no objections.

[The-March-Hare]

Ooh, well that sounds good! At the very least, we can use it for pre-writes, and then attach it to cB permanantly at a later date.

Thanks for basically repeating the whole purpose of this thread in one post, lol.

But word, let's get to it.

[libertie]

Ok, I've taken the libertie

Nice pun.

Alrighty, I'll get started with what little free time I have. xD

Once I get it installed, feel free to volunteer and I'll give you admin rights to it - HEY AC I'M OFFERING YOU ADMIN RIGHTS TO SOMETHING

[Simba]

Nice pun.

HEY AC I'M OFFERING YOU ADMIN RIGHTS TO SOMETHING

:| nice try, but that just won't cut it



Ok, I'll do it.

[SharperMyspace]

What kind of stuff will be in the CBwiki?

The CBpodcast idea reminded me how a lot of HabboHotel sites have a live radio. And staff on the site are dj's and they play music and stuff. And people can request music and give shoutouts and they really brought a lot of people to the site. It's pretty cool. If CB had that, I think it would rock. I helped set one up at Neoextreme.com (R.I.P.) and I kinda remember how it worked. Just an idea.

[hi-C]

If someone's fancy with the coding, how about a createblog facebook application/widget?

[The-March-Hare]

You said it was to be a list of stuff that we can do without Jusun, and officially attaching a cB wiki to the site doesn't fall under that heading, so I was making it clear that this wasn't something that hadn't happened so far purely out of laziness. But you're welcome.

[SuckDickNSaveLiv...]

Man I was thinking this was like a CBers you would like to do type list.

[superstitious]

Man I was thinking this was like a CBers you would like to do type list.

Dani, let me know what I can do to help.

[karmakiller]

I don't think I'm going to be very helpful in this Different people are going to write articles for this, right?

[libertie]

^Yeah, I think that would be best. I went ahead and made Arjuna an admin on the wiki just because I think he's kind of emotionally attached to the project, LOL. If anyone wants to register, you may do so here:

http://libertie.cbstaff.com/wiki

I haven't gotten much chance to look around and I have made absolutely NO changes to it. So if you think the software totally sucks, tell me and we'll go a different direction.

One question - do we want the wiki to be moderated (posts have to be approved)? Or more of a "community runs it" type thing? Sorry I'm not making much sense, I'm trying to get all my thoughts out quickly because I know there's a lot that needs my attention right now. xD

[Simba]

Emotionally attached? What the f**k?

I'M ARJUNA "MUTHAf**kIN" CAPULONG




















I'll get back to you on the articles haven't to be approved and stuff. I had it down in my mind, but I'm too tired at the moment.

[superstitious]

registered xD

[LoveToMySilas]

If someone's fancy with the coding, how about a createblog facebook application/widget?

Oh man, that would be hecka awesome!

And the cB idol is a tad lonely. :( And I have no powers to edit that in.

[Simba]

I guess this should be pinned, or sumfin.


Someone needs to teach me how to work the cB Wiki.

[Simba]

Well yeah, but I'd rather someone just teach me. T_T

Eh whatever, I'll read it later if I must.

[Simba]

I wanted to use MediaWiki, but I'm not sure if that's possible at the moment. :(

[Simba]

^ well you haven't started with this one, so it doesn't look like it'd be a problem to switch. :/

Ha ha, I originally wanted to use MediaWiki from the start. It's the one that looks like a real wiki.

[Simba]

*waits for somebody to confirm that we can use MediaWiki, namely Dani*

[superstitious]

I'd like to see cB have an "Adopt a Newbie Day".

=)

lol

[The-March-Hare]

Cute, but shouldn't we, like, get a dog first? I mean, I killed my fish, so I dunno if I should be incharge of a real live ePerson.

[*paperplane*]

And your gerbils...and your rabbit...

But, you did save my fish. So props for that.

[superstitious]

Ah come on, James. lol

Oh well, I thought it was cute. haha

[Simba]

I'd like to see cB have an "Adopt a Newbie Day".

=)

lol

Ha ha, aight. I guess I should go ahead and update the list anyway.

[DoubleJ]

I'd like to see cB have an "Adopt a Newbie Day".

=)

lol

I am all for that idea. ANYTHING to improve relations around here, I am all for it.

[The-March-Hare]

And your gerbils...and your rabbit...

But, you did save my fish. So props for that.

HEY the rabbit was SICK, and the gerbils lived to be positively elderly.

Ah come on, James. lol

Oh well, I thought it was cute. haha

Aww, no I'm on board. I probably won't have to stick my hand down Nicki's garbage disposal to save any of the newbies. Although frankly, weirder things have happened around here.

[libertie]

*waits for somebody to confirm that we can use MediaWiki, namely Dani*

Sure, why not?

[Simba]

Oh, I was wondering if you needed to check if you could have that set up on your staff subdomain.

[libertie]

Oh, well we'll need a database I'm pretty sure to install MediaWiki, so unless we set it up somewhere else we'll have to have Jusun install the database and whatnot.

There's also the possibility that he already has and I can just get the information from Trish who I haven't spoken to in ages..

[firechild]

REMOVE ALL POPUP ADS!!!
(Im on CB on a wii, i get these every other time i click on a topic)

-CB Mobile?

[libertie]

Turns out Trish has none of the information. I sent Jusun a text..

[firechild]

CB RSS Feed?

[hi-C]

CB RSS Feed?

YES. I love that idea! Although... what would the RSS feed cover? What would be included in it?

[firechild]

Newest Posts, Announcements, and New Members

[firechild]

or most popular topics

[superstitious]

There are a couple of RSS options in the admincp. I'm not entirely sure how they work though, so I'll have to get with Dani and/or Dee and before doing anything, probably Jusun.

[Tung]

[*](8/6/08) Tung only: Participate in cBNTM

I'll think about this when the next cycle starts up.

[Simba]

Ha ha yeah, I guess it's too late to jump back into the current cycle.

That's strange is it supposed to look like that?

I thought they looked similar to these:

http://flyff-wiki.gpotato.com/index.php/Main_Page

at least like the same wiki set up.

[Insurmountable]

We need a proof reader

you can just use feedburner cant you?

[hi-C]

^ But you still have to configure what information goes out in the feed.

[Simba]

http://avierspiel.net/mediawiki/index.php5?title=Main_Page

Ha ha, I still don't really know how to work the cB Wiki, but it looks better than the first one we had.


I made a Jusun Lee page for starters.

[Jghelfi]

Thats a Great Idea for the RSS Feed, because then you can go on createblog Off-line, i can get used to that because my Older Bro Uses XBOX LIVE TOO MUCH!

that was a great Idea Of the RSS..

hahahaha
i started CRACKIN' UP at when i saw the "ADOPT A NEWBIE DAY!" haha, but then i saw that March-hare's fish died, then i got worried..
