Yo, Master Alien- giver of all code that is good, This is a really low priority request but I was thinking, being the sort of person who enjoys data (and that includes the android on TNG): How about adding a last post date on the "Top 25" list. That way we could check up on the active people here to see who is around and who has drifted off? Just an idea... The Capt. has left the bridge... P.S. Is it me, or do most of my suggestions involve dates?? . ---------------------------- Scotty, the native aliens here ARE friendly...
Instead of *just* being on the Top 25 list, would it be possible to add the "last post on" field other places too, like maybe under one's profile? And while we're discussing it, how about a Top 50 list in addition to the Top 25? It might get some folks who aren't posting a whole lot to make a little more noise... ---------------------------- My knob tastes funny.
And we can have a "everyone who is breathing" list while we are at it... . . I'll start sending phone books for you to type into the list. I'm kidding! Don't we want to keep it somewhat limited to motivate everyone to make it on to it? I guess Top 50 isn't too bad- no more though! I like having the "last post" in the profile also- good thinking there! You can be a real fart smeller (whoops was I dyslexic or what!) . . ---------------------------- Scotty, the native aliens here ARE friendly...
Oh, more stuff to think about. . ...and to think I'm simultaneously creating a search engine site as well! ---------------------------- Alien - Administrator / Owner ["Everything was true. God was an alien. Oz really is over the rainbow. ...and Midian is where the monsters live." -Nightbreed]
I mentioned this a while back as a possibility... How about a posts per day item in a persons profile? Something that can show up in a column in the Top 25? ---------------------------- I am Jack's raging inner child. Without me, Jack has to deal with the pitfalls of reality.
After I finish off a few bug fixes (karma bug, etc.) I'll look into these possibilities... . ---------------------------- Alien - Administrator / Owner ["Everything was true. God was an alien. Oz really is over the rainbow. ...and Midian is where the monsters live." -Nightbreed]
I'm just happy to be *on* the top 25 list..I could care less how it looks . ---------------------------- You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocketship underpants don't help. - Calvin
omg..spider's taken over #1..hehehe ---------------------------- You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocketship underpants don't help. - Calvin
Spider and Alien go back and forth as #1...they're battling for that #1 spot. ---------------------------- A conservative is a liberal who's been mugged.
Man, you go away to Aruba, get sent to Chicago on business, and get your house broken into, and see what happens?!? Before I left for Aruba, I was ahead of spiderg by over 50 posts. Now, look at me. . ---------------------------- I am Jack's raging inner child. Without me, Jack has to deal with the pitfalls of reality.
I'm only 100 behind you . ---------------------------- A conservative is a liberal who's been mugged.
I've also been posting like a maniac today. No unnecessary posts, of course. Unusual amount of free time today, since 3 of my coworkers are in Chicago today. ---------------------------- I am Jack's raging inner child. Without me, Jack has to deal with the pitfalls of reality.
. I have been too..been kind of quiet here today..kind of scary. ---------------------------- A conservative is a liberal who's been mugged.

You'll likely be the first one to earn the 1000 post patch. Other than Alien, of course... . ---------------------------- I am Jack's raging inner child. Without me, Jack has to deal with the pitfalls of reality.
Oh wow! You're almost there! You don't ever leave this place, do you? ---------------------------- A conservative is a liberal who's been mugged.
not really . i always have it running in another window when i'm doing other stuff on the computer. that way i can refresh once in a while to see what's new ... now if i could get these kids out of my hair, i could post some hot (to some) deals . ---------------------------- "it's easier to stay out than get out"
. so you never leave...wow... I guess I don't either and that's why my posts have shot up. People walk by and give me funny looks when they see "Alien Soup". ---------------------------- A conservative is a liberal who's been mugged.
Summertime, and the living is easy here at this graduate school i call "work". When there's no classes, there's no students, and therefore no students to bug me in the computer lab here. Alien Soup all day every day!* * All day every day offer void on weekends, or when boss approaches. One offer per computer. Offer valid while server lasts. ---------------------------- My knob tastes funny.
