I want to publish like three or four epic threads in book form. I've talked about this before.

It would be sort of like a novel: there are the conversation topics but the reaaaal story is what is going on between the posters.

i've also had the idea of writing a novel where the text was just fictional message board threads. it would be a lot easier to just copy ilx threads though

That's potentially something greasemonkey could do give that the board id is in the url... Would need to lookup board name (or use a hard coded list)

Mind, I dunno how useful anyone but me would find it - just sometimes I'm looking idly but nonspecifically for a familiar I Love Photography thread to peruse, say.

the time words force you to engage your slow thinking and ask yourself "will this zing be good if it is responding to a fifty-eight minutes old post?"

I like the relative timing - I feel like it's been this way since I came back? Y'all whinin' 'bout 'nothin
― El Tomboto, Friday, 26 August 2016 00:02 (seven years ago) link
The relative time only bothers me on zing touch because you have to click on the individual post to see the date-time

every day when you sign in you are randomly assigned the username of another poster. you need to post as that person -- each poster's identity becomes an ongoing, collaborative performance.

instead of fp, can we have a button that just puts a cap on how many posts a poster can post per day/week/month or something
― a but (brimstead), Wednesday, 7 December 2016 02:34 (seven years ago) link
Ability to "like" posts - but every upvote costs you yourself a fp, so they'd be used sparingly. Then a button to display most-liked posts across all boards. Breadcrumbs to the gold in them thar hills.
Ability to edit yr post if nobody has posted behind you - generally, then, would be confined to fixing rypod.

Would require adapting for every style sheet

would it? how many style sheets have a non-white background color? fuck 'em, make it work for the 80% (or 90% or 99%).

Realized immediately after posting that oh yeah I just sounded like that guy
― The beaver is not the bad guy (El Tomboto), Wednesday, 25 January 2017 14:31 (seven years ago) link
change is bad, unless you're changing from a bad thing to a good thing I guess but when does that happen
― kinder, Wednesday, 25 January 2017 14:33 (seven years ago) link
i would go black on black rather than white on white so that you know the spoiler is there and don't accidentally mouseover something you don't want to see. though there's probably some weirdo out there with a black background stylesheet so maybe it has to be configurable
