Xepha Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Yes Like AC coverage is usually ready in advance :P
Shadaw the Rampage Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 :P your welcome for the idea of the magical pinata XD though because were 2 months in advance we can make the theme and everything else look really really nice before it.
Alberto of Meridell Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Each display name must be unique Go figure, someone's display name is already Alberto. <_< YesLike AC coverage is usually ready in advance :P That's why we're so amazing! Actually, I'm planning on having most of the team/player info (and etc.) updated in the spring, so we're really ready. :D Though I can't say anything about daily coverage. ;) Haha thanks Shadaw. :D
antiaircraft Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Ah yes, daily coverage for the AC tends to be ridiculously slow, thanks to one particular staffer. :rolleyes_anim: Another random idea: maybe we can announce a 'purge' of inactive/unvalidated accounts from the forum (like TNT's purge)?
Spritzie Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Another random idea: maybe we can announce a 'purge' of inactive/unvalidated accounts from the forum (like TNT's purge)? Now there's an interesting idea! You know everyone would go crazy over that.
Anime Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I'd prefer to just actually do that... so many unactivated accounts...
antiaircraft Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 That would hit our database pretty hard for a while though - and it's under enough strain as it is. :(
Anime Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Ah, fair point. And it'd take forever to do it by hand.
antiaircraft Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Ah well. Maybe Ian could script it using cron do remove one member a day or something? xD
Shadaw the Rampage Posted January 26, 2011 Author Posted January 26, 2011 Ah well. Maybe Ian could script it using cron do remove one member a day or something? xD ^ and it shall be called "TDNS In-Discriminant Reaper Program" {breaks out in evil maniacal laughter}
antiaircraft Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 xD We should do a horror-movie style banner for it. "The REAPER shall be UNLEASHED! Coming April 2011."
Xepha Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Can anyone make a list of things left to do regarding The Daily Pinata? Thanks :)
Shadaw the Rampage Posted March 17, 2011 Author Posted March 17, 2011 Well if i understood correctly and feel free to modify this with done if its already done but. optional -> were going to change our names to "pinata" related stuff. Forum upgrade -> we were going to release a forum skin for it also to go along with the main board getting a new theme Pinata related avatars -> were going to make magical pinata pictures for our displays. if i am forgetting anything modify my post to put it on here.
antiaircraft Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Forum upgrade -> we were going to release a forum skin for it also to go along with the main board getting a new theme Hmm... wasn't the plan for a main site theme rather than a forum theme?
Shadaw the Rampage Posted March 18, 2011 Author Posted March 18, 2011 If i remember correctly there was supposed to be a forum theme so that people who log into the forums directly {LIKE ME WHOO!!!} actually know theres a joke going on immediately.
Viridian Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 But it's true there was to be a main site theme, not the forums.
antiaircraft Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Yes, an IPB theme is significantly more complex to create than a theme for our main site. I don't think anyone here has much experience in IPB theming, but I could be mistaken...
Xepha Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Yes, an IPB theme is significantly more complex to create than a theme for our main site. I don't think anyone here has much experience in IPB theming, but I could be mistaken... Theo is right here... we can ask Ian to change the logo http://www.tdnforums.com/public/style_images/4_logo_splat.png He probably has a skin for it on his computer so that shouldn't be too hard!
antiaircraft Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 All right, a logo change on the forums and a theme change on the main site sounds good. :)
Shadaw the Rampage Posted March 18, 2011 Author Posted March 18, 2011 not trying to rock the boat guys, i probably was just mistaken on the plan.
antiaircraft Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 xD I'd say this is the most amusing planning thread for an April Fools' day to date.
Noog Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Please summarize the thread for me I really don't feel like reading. XD From what I gather, I need to change my name to "I am a magical pinata"
Shadaw the Rampage Posted March 19, 2011 Author Posted March 19, 2011 Ok for all of you just coming in. basically we have a site theme {for the main site where the news shows up NOT the forums} On April first {dur} were going to all change our names to something pinata related, apparently a HEADER change on the forum {the daily neopets part} Also staff avatar pictures that are optional to use, and optional changing our names to pinata themed like "i am a magical pinata" ive already claimed lol XD we have a picture of ian holding a magical pinata... err pinata on the main theme were going to put up also. ^ just encase you couldn't find it elsewhere. Ya know lol, i just had a thought. We could announce on the same day a new member title obtainable somehow on that day also. XD kinda like a seasonable member title. Wouldn't that throw everyone into a uproar. The kicker to this? It doesn't actually exist XD ^ oh i am EVIL Also a site theme was discussed and ill take the initiative to ask Ian personally about it lol. I think maybe we should orginize this a little sense we have A LOT of things to do.
Noog Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 If only "I am a magical pinata" was available. xD I think I want "Soy una pinata magico" I just made up the word magico but i'm sure there's some spanish word for magical. :P
Shadaw the Rampage Posted March 19, 2011 Author Posted March 19, 2011 Why not? i dont see any reason to be creative with it, site names have to be unique though or we'd all be "i am a magical pinata"
