Saturday, January 31, 2004 at 2:48 AM Do you have an idea that would improve this site? Post here! | |
| |
Saturday, January 31, 2004 at 1:50 PM Hey great job SV! What do you think of adding a spell checker and maybe breaking the threads into sub-categories so it is not one long string of random threads? Either way this is a major improvement. Thanks again. | |
| |
Saturday, January 31, 2004 at 2:10 PM Great work SV! How about a search feature? Or would that be too much work to implement? Either way, the new forum is still better than the old one. Thanks for the time you put into making this great site! GT, | |
| |
Saturday, January 31, 2004 at 4:46 PM It would be nice to have spell check. I'm a horrible speller, so I'm always copying & pasting messages back and forth between the forum and my text editor, where I can run spell check. I'll have to think about how to implement it, though. I've thought about categories. One of the things I hate about the various glitzy PHP boards out there is how they are partitioned into sub-boards... it's like you have to visit multiple boards just to figure out what's going on. So if I do implement categories or topics, I still want all the threads to be integrated into a single page so you don't have to run around. However, I can see where people may not want to read about certain topics (like technical FTP discussion, for example) and would prefer to just filter those things out. At the same time, I want to avoid forcing posters or moderators to explicitly categorize posts. So, anyway, I'll be thinking about this one, too. I definitely want a search page. This shouldn't be too difficult; I just have to read the documentation and figure out how to write it. P.S. I didn't spell check this message. ;-) | |
| |
Saturday, January 31, 2004 at 5:12 PM I'd like a feature where I get a candy corn each time I post something:
Please, can you do it? Huh huh huh? | |
| |
Saturday, January 31, 2004 at 11:31 PM SV, Something to think about while brainstorming alternatives to the sub-category idea: The main drawback to this layout as it relates to a long string vs. categorized format is that with the long string there isn't any kind of organization. This tends to encourage me (at least) to ignore things down the list as they have a connotation of seeming old and outdated. Only the top posts seem to be alive. If there is another paradigm that works to organize things a little more hopefully someone will suggest it or maybe we can invent something. I completely understand and agree to an extent with your feelings about the categorized format forcing you to go multiple places just to see what's currently happening. However with more code (I empathize with all of the hard work that has gone into this so far) we could select an option to show fresh posts, I think it is commonly referred to as "subscribing" to threads and options to show only fresh posts. There could also be an option to show this long string format or a categorized alternative format. I think a lot of other forums use a generic layout then customize that. You appear to have built this from the ground up. Not that there is anything wrong with that :-) You've done a good job with this -you're the best! BTW- If I am not mistaken, I thnk this new layout does in fact move all threads with new posts to the top each time you log back in. If this is so maybe I just need to get used to this. Eventually the threads that have not recently had a new post will drop away. This aspect means different dialogues on topics will often be overlooked and destined to be repeated. Just more to think about. | |
| |
Sunday, February 1, 2004 at 8:57 AM This doesnt have to do with forums, but maybe some more drops ( If there are any) and some more sound files, in any catagory. Thanks. | |
| |
Sunday, February 1, 2004 at 9:40 AM I had a suggestion, SV. How about in the "people" section when you click on someone's name you get a list of their posts. YOu already have that -- what I would suggest is a slight change. My suggestion is when you click on a message, you go STRAIGHT to the message in the forum and the part that the person (me) wrote would just be highlighted. It seems the way you have it now, it includes an unnecessary step. That way, when I am unsure of dialogue I am having with people and in which thread it is -- I can just go to my name under "people" and click on my messages and go STRAIGHT to the message where my post would be highlighted or something -- that way I could just post my reply directly. eh? | |
| |
Sunday, February 1, 2004 at 10:48 AM I agree with Josh. | |
| |
Sunday, February 1, 2004 at 2:24 PM Darkfloyd -- indeed, this will be the place for public discussion on how to improve the site in general (not just the forum). I don't really have any more drops, although I'm always collecting new ones. Right now, the only drops "waiting in the queue" are "Alphabet" ("A B C D" in the little girl voice -- does anyone know the date of the original show?), "Bang!" (shotgun blast), "Mahalo" (that Hawaiian guy), and the recent "You're gonna go to jail, buddy" (Dr. Bruce). I wait for the new drops to pile up, then I add a whole bunch at once, just to save time & effort on my end. I also have a new bumper waiting -- bumper #23. When I initially created this site, there were entire categories of clips which I eliminated in order to make everything fit into the 200MB of web space I had at the time. I wish I had saved the original MP3 playlist, because now there is much more space available. Here are some examples of the categories which are in my personal MP3 collection, but absent from the web site:
By the way: in theory, any clip which doesn't win a permanent place on the site will eventually become a "Clip of the Week". Anyway, all this to say: look forward to new clips in the future! | |
| |
Sunday, February 1, 2004 at 2:35 PM Josh, I have been finding the people/messages section to be disorienting myself. I've been reassigning messages to different authors -- i.e., trying to make sure that all the old messages listed under a person's name were actually written by that person, and all the messages written by that person are listed under their name! Going back and forth between a person's message page and the main thread page is annoying... I've been juggling multiple browser windows. Thanks for the suggestion... I may recruit you to play with new, experimental page layouts once I have the chance to create some ;-) | |
| |
Sunday, February 1, 2004 at 10:38 PM is there/can there be a way so we can click a "next" button that will go to the next post? thanks, the new forum rocks | |
| |
Monday, February 9, 2004 at 3:50 PM OK this isn't so much a bug as an inconvenience :-p I just edited a post to make my AIM screen name a link to IM me. I was using Jeremy's link, because I am lazy this way, and I forgot to replace his screen name with mine, so now if people click on my name, it IMs him. I tried to edit it again, but it said "Cannot edit, this message is more than an hour old." Perhaps you could make the limit like 2 hours? Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope! .... And by Obi-Wan Kenobi, I do mean Silent Virgin. | |
| |
Monday, February 9, 2004 at 7:18 PM I know im a bitch, but it would be so helpful to have a "next" button that would let us go ot the next thread. thanks you rock. | |
| |
Sunday, February 29, 2004 at 12:58 PM Speaking of "funniest calls," here's an idea.... Why don't we name a Funniest/Best Call of the Week? Over the weekend, everyone can throw out their nominees from the previous week, and we can have an informal poll. Oh, SV - Is there a poll tool that you can use to vote and put on the main forum page?? That'd be good times! | |
| |
Sunday, February 29, 2004 at 5:40 PM I'm sure Pan Pan would be more than willing to let everyone use his poll tool. *rim shot* "Thank you everyone -- I'll be here all week!" I like the idea of voting on a best call of the week. That sounds fun. | |
| |
Sunday, February 29, 2004 at 6:09 PM Yes, it is a good idea. You'd just have to allow time for us East Coasters to listen to the Thursday show. :o) | |
| |
Sunday, February 29, 2004 at 7:42 PM Yes we need more Trig were has he gone too? He must be very busy these days, don't see him on here that much anymore. Enjoy the site keep it up. | |
| |
Thursday, May 6, 2004 at 11:49 PM Dear SV, Can you add an image uploader feature in the Advanced Options? It is possible to link to images and use IMG SRC however if the linked address updates and/or changes the image is disabled. Thanks | |
| |
Friday, May 7, 2004 at 8:48 AM HOw about a picture archive of hot female guests and the porn stars Adam likes? And an archive specifically created by Magnificent Bastard? That dude ROCKS! | |
| |
Monday, May 10, 2004 at 7:35 PM if webspace is a problem sv, let me know because i have more than enough of it and i am willing to share the wealth at no charge. i feel it is the least i can do for the use of such a great forum. | |
| |
Monday, May 10, 2004 at 9:31 PM ok disregard my last message, i accidetally read a message wrong. i think we might actually have the same host. | |
| |
Thursday, March 3, 2005 at 8:04 AM I've been wanting to suggest this for a long time, but never got around to it. No one may care now, but, what the hell. :) Any of you who called boards in your life time probably remember Renegade (and the like, Telegard, Illusion, etc -- COTT LANG PHEARS TIM STRIKE!!). One of the nice features their forum software had was called a "New Scan." A new scan would go through all of the new posts in any of the discussions groups (which in our case would be threads) and would show you each new post in a sequenial fashion. This was good because it automated going through each discussion group that had new messages and reading them. The new scan would do all the work for you, getting and ordering all of the new posts, showing you where they were posted, and letting you reply. In this way, you didn't need to visit each discussion group (threads, in our world) individually to read the new posts in it. You could also configure your new scan to ignore posts in particular discussion groups (threads). The one thing I find particuarlly laborious about reading posts on this site is jumping from thread to thread. For instance, if I log in and see all of the new posts and click on one thread read all of the new posts and comment, then I have to click "Forum" and click another thread, and restart the whole process. If all the threads are short, this isn't so bad. But, loading the entire thread (from the first post to the last) is usually completely unnecessary since I just want to read the new posts. This was particuarlly noticable with the 600+ post picture thread, and all of the other threads that get ~100 posts. If there was something like a "new scan" feature, the entire thread for each thread containing a new post wouldn't need to be loaded, just the new posts from each thread (say with a link to view the entire thread they were posted in, and a link to post in that thread). So, with something like the picture thread, people would have done a new scan, and seen the most recent 10 or 20 new posts since they last logged in, and not had to load the pictures/posts they seen already and weren't going to read -- no overhead. All of the new posts from each thread could probably be displayed on one screen (maybe splitting it up there were more than 50 new posts). This way, I could read all of the new posts at once and not have to go from thead to thread. So, thats my suggestion. :) I have mad perl and sql skilz. So, if there was some way to collaborate on adding this, I would be willing to help. | |

Thursday, March 3, 2005 at 11:14 PM having to be able to create a poll | |
| |
Thursday, March 3, 2005 at 11:37 PM web or java based chat area. too often people get into conversations during the show. a chat area would use less space then the 50 posts cor the same conversation. | |
| |
Thursday, March 3, 2005 at 11:53 PM ZT has point... old school BBS was the shiznit.... WAS. Why not embrace the current trend in web based forums and adopt one of the common formats/languages out there? Not that I'm saying copycat others... just a more richer GUI user friendly interface that does not allow the likes of Mirror_Phoenix (with his middle school haxOr education) to copy all of our profiles to his? Seems a pretty serious exploit to consider... Other than that, SV, you have done a wonderful job and keep up the good work... But could you get rid of the Mexicans? (and dusty, too)? Fankies! | |
| |
Friday, March 4, 2005 at 12:48 AM CALLING ALL N-- Oh, forget it!!
| |
| |
Friday, March 4, 2005 at 1:32 AM It's only out of love that I want to extenguish you, Dusty.... Kinda like how Hitler loved the Jews... You remember that history lesson, right? :) | |
| |
Friday, March 4, 2005 at 1:32 AM oh, yeah... and theo too. | |
| |
Friday, March 4, 2005 at 7:41 AM WE NEED A "SEARCH" FEATURE ON THIS FORUM | |
| |
Friday, March 4, 2005 at 8:49 AM I need to decide who lives and who dies. | |
| |
Friday, March 4, 2005 at 8:57 AM "mmm... just lying around in my black lace garter, thinking about the holocaust..." | |
| |
Friday, March 4, 2005 at 10:05 AM What the hell is THIS shit all about?!?!?! —Dusty TheHick I think it's that huge influx of 'tards finally rearing their ugly heads at YOU, my friend. | |
| |
Friday, March 4, 2005 at 11:08 AM Oh yes, and "mmm... just lying around in my black lace garter, thinking about the holocaust..." —OneManArmy Hip-hip-HOORAY! | |
| |
Saturday, March 5, 2005 at 9:11 PM I'm not going to read those posts up there, but I searched for php on the page and only got one other post- I like phpbb and, although less cluttered crap is good, so are more features. Would the free phpbb work out to impliment on here? | |
| |
Saturday, March 5, 2005 at 10:09 PM I just had another idea to add to the list of possible Loveline merchandise: black lace garters that say "I'm thinking about the Holocaust" on them. | |
| |
Friday, April 22, 2005 at 12:47 AM Speaking of merchandising... how about an official "I had sex with ZT's mom" bumper sticker? I'd buy two. | |
| |
Friday, April 22, 2005 at 12:59 AM Does that mean you had sex with her twice? | |
| |
Friday, April 22, 2005 at 10:00 AM Speaking of merchandising... how about an official "I had sex with ZT's mom" bumper sticker? I'd buy two. —masonjar_condition Well, they could only be "official" if my mom verified them after every "encounter." But, she can't do that, because she died of ovarian cancer in 1992. | |
| |
Friday, April 22, 2005 at 11:33 AM Yes, it is a good idea. You'd just have to allow time for us East Coasters to listen to the Thursday show. :o) —JooJooBee or you could listen live or download it... Get a hand in! Staying up til 3am isn't late! Speaking of merchandising... how about an official "I had sex with ZT's mom" bumper sticker? I'd buy two. --Jar_con LMAO! I'd buy one. | |
| |
Friday, April 22, 2005 at 12:10 PM Hey ZT, yeah, umm, sorry to break this to you, but I tapped that ass in 1994.
| |
| |
Friday, April 22, 2005 at 1:02 PM I think ZT is lying to evoke sympathy. Shame, shame, shame. | |
| |
Friday, April 22, 2005 at 2:00 PM Geez ZT, way to lighten the mood. | |
| |
Friday, April 22, 2005 at 2:37 PM Hey, I didn't bring it up. Yes, you did. | |
| |
Friday, April 22, 2005 at 2:40 PM He brought up your mom, but you brought up the cancer part that brought everyone down. | |
| |
Friday, April 22, 2005 at 2:44 PM LOL. this is awesome. Keep it going! | |
| |
Friday, April 22, 2005 at 3:14 PM I really hope ZT doesn't take an indefinte hiatus. | |
| |
Friday, April 22, 2005 at 4:23 PM SV, you said earlier "Stories: Adam rambles about his past. I love these clips even more than the "Personal" clips. But like "Rants", they tend to be very long! I don't know what percentage of people have high-speed connections, but I try to keep individual clips under five minutes in length (since that would be the length of your average MP3 song)." How about cutting them into bite-sized pieces? Maybe in 5mb sequences. As for my own suggestion, I'd like a way to get entire shows. Perhaps put up an ftp section where people post their ftp information that are willing to share. I don't know about the relationship between webpages and ftp protocals, but maybe there's a way to signify which ftps are up and running on the ftp section of the webpage...? And thanks for the site. I just found it not too long ago and I have to say, I really like it. | |
| |
Friday, April 22, 2005 at 7:03 PM Sorry about your mom, ZT.
| |
| |
Friday, April 22, 2005 at 7:24 PM ZT, I think we should shake hands. Sorry about your mom. Sorry that you are sensitive. Sorry you have to shake my smelly hand. | |
| |
Friday, April 22, 2005 at 7:46 PM I keep getting broken links when I try to get the MP3 clips. I share them with fellow listeners at school and would like to update my collection. | |
| |
Friday, April 22, 2005 at 11:39 PM Ian, there are already many people sharing full-show recordings, give the FAQ section a read through to figure out the details. | |
| |
Saturday, April 23, 2005 at 12:23 AM Thanks kevin, I'll check it out. | |
| |
Saturday, April 23, 2005 at 12:36 AM Zt, I'll see you, your 1 mom died of ovarian cancer and raise you 1 mom died in a fiery auto crash. | |
| |
Saturday, April 23, 2005 at 2:17 PM DAMN IT!!! I fold. | |
| |
Saturday, April 23, 2005 at 5:36 PM My great-grandmother died in a house explosion. Of course, that was in 1944, but still... | |
| |
Saturday, April 23, 2005 at 7:27 PM There was this kid in my class in 7th grade who was really into magic tricks. He tried to do a Houdini trick with a rope and wound up strangling himself to death. | |

Saturday, April 23, 2005 at 9:01 PM Silent Virgin needs to share Silent Virgin's loveline audio library. I'm speculating that its one of the greatest untapped resources for loveline fans. | |
| |
Thursday, May 19, 2005 at 1:44 PM please have a "search" box for forum (or whole website) so people can locate specific info easily. thanks | |

Thursday, May 19, 2005 at 1:59 PM The entire forum? Don't you think that would be overdoing it just a tad? | |
| |
Thursday, May 19, 2005 at 9:55 PM I know you guys are sick of Dusty-posted images, but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE?!?!?!? | |
| |
Thursday, May 19, 2005 at 9:56 PM I'm not sick of them *ducks as she gets pelted with rocks* | |

| |
Friday, May 20, 2005 at 11:55 PM First off..."Thanks, thanks, thanks thanks for hosting, running, and maintaining the " to all that are involved. Would it be possible to add the link to Bryan's Blog on the top of the forum main page list of links? I know all it takes is a book mark or a quick trip to the main page...but I have enough book marks to wrangle, and it would probably save more than a couple needless main page views. Thanks again. | |
| |
Saturday, May 21, 2005 at 12:04 AM lazy ass.... :) | |
| |
Monday, July 18, 2005 at 9:55 AM Hello, In lieu of a more comprehensive search page, how about a thread search not unlike the "People" search we have now. The threads could be arranged alphabetically with a view all option and people could use good old ctr F to find what they're looking for on that HTML page. I'd be happy to code it (or a bigger search page) if needed. Thanks for all the work on the site. | |
| |
Thursday, July 21, 2005 at 8:25 AM Thanks muchly Silent Virgin for the forum. Great job. Someone should mention you on the show. | |
| |
Thursday, July 21, 2005 at 10:28 AM Yeah, cuz that's NEVER happened before! | |

Monday, June 12, 2006 at 10:03 AM Suggestion: Please diable embedded sound and hotlinking of quicktime that autoplays. actually, this is a really good suggestion. the last thing I need at work is a screaming orgasm clip playing all of a sudden. And I'd like to see more threads dedicated to the best ways to prepare semen cocktails (me- with a splash of vermouth, on the rocks, with a twist) | |
