I have an idea :

We should be able to attach images and music onto our pieces.

I do hope you were being sarcastic.


Nope! Illustrations to non-childrens books are awesome! And don't worry, nothing too graphic . . .

Music: no.
Images: Perhaps. I can see it all going horribly wrong though.

I think the site itself should be reserved for text... leave the pictures and music to the forums...

and also... in the new IF, can we include a user level of bran... make it near the top...

maybe ask people what they think levels should be called, might get some funny ones...

As far as transferring old stuff to the new site...

What if you could both rate and vote for a particular piece... a hybrid system if you will...

So say you really like a piece... you give it a +1, then a rating of 5 or summat...
Or if you really hate it... you can give it a -1 then a rating of 1...

you could, of course, rate it without voting... this piece was a 5 for imagery, written well, i just don't like it enough to vote for it...

or the other way around, I just really like this piece, +1, but for no other reason than the subject matter... or the writing style... don't want to rate it just yet...

this way you could have a "most liked" top list and a "best rated" top list... the difference being obvious... "most liked" is the highest number of votes, therefore, more people liked this particular piece than the other pieces... "best rated" is the highest rating, therefore, people thought that this poem was really well written...

i dunno exactly how this would work out but it's an idea on how to transfer the votes over...

I have an idea.  Of course, I'm not sure it's a new idea.  I don't know if anyone suggested it yet or not, but I know I've thought about it a few times.

but whatever...

Howzabout an #indyfluency channel in IRC?

I don't know how many people here use irc or are even familiar with it, but it's a pretty good chat program.  As for which server to be hosted on, I recommend efnet, simply because it's the only one I'm familiar with.

It's not complicated at all.  Just need to download an irc client [like mIRC] and log onto whatever server [like efnet] and type "/join #indyfluency".  If the channel doesn't already exist [it shouldn't, unless neo's way ahead of me], then it will immediately be created and you will automatically be the op of the channel.

Neo, if you think this is a good idea, and you already know how some of that stuff works, maybe you could find out how to make some sort of bot that just sits in the channel, so that it's always open.  'Cuz if it's closed and someone else joins it, they'll automatically be the op and everyone who joins after them will simply be normal people, subject to the current op's whims.

And stuff...

I have no idea how much of the stuff I just finished talking about made sense, but yeah.

Yeah...

Mmm, chat systemwhatevers will exist in IF2, and IRC seems like the easiest way. The problem with chatroom anarchy can be solved, on many networks (which provide a free bot which makes sure you stay op). I can also set up a java IRC client on the indyfluency server which allows people (who don't have a client) to connect up through a webpage.

I want there to be multiple chat-rooms though, and so using a public server might be less viable if I want to automate it. I'll probably look into how much renting an IRC server would cost.

this would, of course, be subject to the approval of ironypills, since she is the discoverer of the power of bran and the almighty queen of the forumz

Actually, she is not; Dan is the bran man. Not to say that he has attained branness, however that he hath found of it.

I was about to take the blame for that misleading. However, I have since decided to CONTEST it.

http://indyfluency.com/forum/index.php/topic,102.msg3125/topicseen.html#msg3125

That was the first utterance of the word 'bran' on these fora. She was also the first to utter Lol, Bran. Thereby utilising its power.

Unless, of course, Dan used it in an image preceding this, thereby making it unsearchforable. But I do not recall this to be the case.

Unfortunately, ironypills is not with us to confirm or deny her claim to the Throne of Bran.

So, I wanted to test a couple of things out today involving voting and I ended up giving one of someone's piece a vote and an A*. This brings up a couple of issues (I think):

1. Should you be able to vote on a piece and give it A* status/piece of the [time unit]. I say no to the A* part of this, which I don't think will be an issue in the future.

2. Can you take votes or ratings back after you have made them?

There was another one, I think.

DUDE PICTURES AND MOVIES AND MUSIC ARE NOT WRITING!! STAY PURE!! LIKE THE POPE!!


but I do suggest that we include one thing: this thing is:
formatingz.

like paragraph indents (that is a convention of the printing world btw) and italics, and bold, and maybe colored text.

hell, you have all that in forums, why not in the zone actually dedicated to creative expression.

and if this has been said before I apologize profusely.

again: formatingz
