Ideas for ILX

btw, this is closely related to the thread about how the mods did 9/11 (obviously true, it's more about why they did it)

#onethread

#onethread
#except77

We used to have One Thread, it was called Site New Posts and only mods could see it. It was technically problematic - it’s hard to do the security thing and make sure only 77 members see 77 posts on there. I loved it though, it’s a great idea.

Pretty sure not reading the thread before you post would not be an innovation for a significant number of ilxors

I was thinking, there should just be one long thread

ILX should have a virtual Tip Jar, because tipping should be encouraged whenever a service is rendered. Then each registered user could have a running total of how much they've tipped ILX, just like each of us has a total of how many posts we've made.

(Aimless stands back, hooks his thumbs in his braces and admires his suggestion for several minutes before clicking Submit Post.)

Not a bad thought but let's take it to its logical conclusion and bill people for bad posts

or kill people who have goats

IPv6 for the ilxor.com domain/server - just found myself on an IPv6-only LAN and couldn’t connect.

aw dude goats are great

good shout Siegbran, will take a look

what ipv6 lan doesn’t have a proxy/dns translation layer tho

Can we auto-replace "The Discourse" with "DUMPLINGS!!"

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Can we auto-replace "The 1975" with "BALLOON”?!

can we auto-replace "taibbi" with "proxy/dns translation layer"?

Is there a way to see which threads are most bookmarked? Sitewide and by board?

Sitewide:

1. outbreak! (ebola, sars, coronavirus, etc)
2. Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread
3. Ongoing U.S Police Brutality and Corruption Discussion Thread
4. pitchfork is dumb (#34985859340293849494 in a series.)
5. why do i hate that artist thing that people keep posting on my facebook so much? why am i such a jerk?
6. so not gonna happen
7. everybody on ilx complains about reddit
8. zing
9. Mostly Apolitical Thread for Discussing/Venting our Rational/Irrational COVID-19 Fears and Experiences in 2020
10. Another fucking spree shooting. Great.

lol i think i've got one of those

7/10 for me

can we implement #onethread?

i used to browse by board, then i moved to site new answers, and now i basically just sift through my neverending series of bookmarks. it's amazing, and tbh i'd do it for far less than the $35/hour i'm getting paid right now

emojis and #onethread

💁🏻‍♂️

0/10 for me

re: one thread

I think what you’re talking about is a chatroom

Maybe just make an ILX discord or IRC channel?

9/10

too many bookmarks, anxiety at having been away for 24-48 hours and returning to see what looks like a page of the phone book

^one reason I would love a reordering feature!

I would be okay w/ letting some bookmarks fester at the bottom of a list, but arranged as they are I have some kind of disorder which compels me to keep clearing them out

let's just fire up mIRC and create a DALnet chat room.

also change who the AOPs are each day, and every time someone chats about the secret forbidden topic, they're permabanned for the day.

discord

Is there a publicly accessible API? If people really want to test what it would be like, I bet it wouldn't be hard to build a Discord bot that just relays posts into a discord channel in near-real time. Probably wouldn't have functionality to post back to the website, but the bot could include the link to the thread so if you want to reply in-thread, you can click on it and post. Otherwise, if you would like to just comment in the "single thread only", you can just chat in Discord as the posts roll by.

If you have true interest in an ILX chatroom, I encourage you to visit poxyfule.slack.com

There is already an ILX discord

I just like being part of the #onethread movement

We wait, an ILX slack, I meant. Same thing

I bet there's multiple channels in there also

See my post above

maybe just create a thread called #onethread ???

#onechannel

stet I'm pretty web design illiterate so I don't really know what the hurdles are to almost any of these (excellent) improvements you've been making

maybe Nas will do a commercial for this one thread initiative to the tune of One Mic

Maybe just make an ILX discord or IRC channel?

Lol just catching up don’t mind me

Actually can't get into the Slack. Can't authenticate.

OH OH IT SUPPORT TIME

let's fucking do this shit

post on the #onethread instead
