#487 - Bring Me To News |
Weekly Newsletter; Bring Me To News#487 - Thursday 08th October, 2020groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Every Thursday, Watching old episodes of Spitting Image ; Hello WorldBit lacklustre, this week. Not a whole lot going on. I mean, there's "some" activity on the site, but it's mostly all be contained within a few small threads. Incidentally, I realised something that would make for a new "game" for the frontpage, the other day. Take a famous quote, chop it in half, and let people write silly endings. I spent about half a day sitting here, preparing small snippets of text. Took ages finding a nice big collection of quotes, then had to manually chop them down to size so they could be extended nicely. Then I came to implementing the scripting, to integrate the new game into the site, at which point I realised it'd end up flooding the forum with threads.. Absolutely FLOODED.. I scrapped the idea, but will probably revisit it with a rethink at a later point. Maybe just turn it into a static page, like the Poll Highscores, but then it's not really front and centre like I was intending it to be. Hmmm.. So many of these ideas get abandoned due to how messy they make the forum. Why can't there just be, like, a super awesome game that works like Polls do!?!
