I'm not talking about anything close to as sophisticated as you are, but on a forum with a similar format, there was a birthday bit at the bottom of the page ( http:// ) .
I also think admin should be able to move threads that are in the wrong place, and delete rubbish or unused ones instead of just locking them.
Frankly, I'm shocked. But, even more frankly, I'm always shocked.

we can do all that, except the birthdays, but I think there's a plugin for it that's really easy. and it wouldn't be hard to code.

I didn't know you could delete... And when I said move threads, I meant posts.
Also, at the bottom of the page, Fell has been "in the corner" for ages... Maybe you should change that.

And just another idea...
You could maybe have some kind of encoding that changes n00B writing into proper English automatically. I think that's possible...? ???

When you are put in the corner, you stays in the corner. I must have been there for nearly a month before Fell got punished for ordering Tage to do stuff. At least I think it was something like that.

By the way, when you look at a user's profile on thier birthday it has a little cake next to thier age. So having it at the bottom would be kind of redundant, plus the birthday thread; either way I don't think that it really needs to be done even more so since I like it the way it is. Of course around here the single thing that I like it might put the Admins dead set on changing it. :P

e, did you put The_Bot in the corner or did Sprigg; because the amatuer mistake with spelling makes it dificult to tell.

I put no one in the corner. I'm above putting people in the corner. I've moved beyond it.

Usually either EUOL or Tage does the corner thing.

Another suggestion:
In the last updated-type bit next to the categories, could you not only put the name of the poster but the thread too?

Why would they want to do that? So they can rob you of your much needed nano-seconds worth of exercise in your fingers while they spend hours re-coding?

I've been re-reading my old articles. There's one in particular I want to have deleted. It's very old, terrible quality and I don't like the fact it's one of the first that comes up when you search for my name. This may have have implications in the near future as I plan to use TWG as a portfolio of my work for an endeavour I've discussed with some of you on IM.

Who currently is doing Admin stuff like that? Can I just PM you the title of the article?

Fell and SE are the only ones that could do that.

And Tage, the horrible monster of the deep mist.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

yes, but that abyssal monster won't bother himself with article management, he's got more nefarious things to do.
