My modest proposal regarding CC reform

[Il Duce]

Tons of people aren't happy with stuff like the removal of the clockification system. However, I find that everybody's just disputing to either bring it back or not, not suggesting an alternate system. While we've got Internetcult to build off on, I still think we can do tonnes to improve Clockcrew.cc. I don't want to propose some gigantic reformation that's supposed to revolutionize the Clock Crew as we know it etc. However, we can start off improving right away by tweaking some small things before we try to move up to other things.

One thing I noticed when I joined was that there were tonnes of other sections of the site besides the forum (arcade, clockopedia, etc). It seems to me like we tried to branch off in a ton of different directions with the site instead of working collectively on each section, but I'm probably wrong. We should start off by just tweaking these sections, since it's a simple thing to do and it will get us moving forward. I put this in the general discussion as opposed to suggestions because it's more than just implementing some new features; it's going to need members involved in maintaining it and building on it.

Duck.fla, camels, etc. were popular because they could be made by almost everybody here, and they were simple to do. I hope we can do the same thing with this. If everyone's up with this, I propose we start off with improving the clockmap (I still show up as a clockfriend there, there should be a search bar, and there are tonnes of inactive members on the map), which will involve both coding and people actually going in and putting in their locations.

Anyway, this is just my two cents. Again, I think working together on making some simple changes could help us move forward and help us with how we can tackle some bigger issues that we've been facing.

[Heliopios]

Or we could light this one on fire and try again with clockcrew.info

[TwistClock]

Agreed.

i Have a few ideas on how to make the site better.

Sorry, but over here two cents don't even get refunded, so I don't care about your two cents.

[PropagandaClock]

YEAH FUCK YOU GOGGLES
SHAME ON YOU FOR EVEN DREAMING ABOUT MAKING THE CLOCKCREW A BETTER PLACE THAN IT ALREADY IS
LETS GO KICK SOME KITTENS TO FEEL BETTER
MMMMM YEEEAAAAAAAAWH.

[Kodiakclock]

they were also organized by people now at internetcult

that still come here for some reason

[DWARFINATORclock]

that still come here for some reason

Are you saying that because I made duck.fla I'm not allowed to come here anymore or something? Or that because I visit another site that I shouldn't come here?

What are you trying to say?

[SilverClock]

I didn't read this topic at all.

[PropagandaClock]

that still come here for some reason

Why shouldn't they?

Who gives a shit it's two internet sites that are three virtual clicks away.
Why let that pathetic distance create a real one in different clock relationships?

Guys you're hurting my feelings

[YoYoClock]

man you guys are dicks. He was just coming up withsome ideas, not forcing anyone to do anything. I think it's great that someone is trying to be constructive instead of insulting everybody elses thinking, like this thread has turned into.

regradless of how good his ideas are and regardless of his time spent in the clockcrew, I think he has the right state of mind

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Duck.fla and camel day were terrible events.

The point is they were easy to do, so people participated in them.

I propose we start off with improving the clockmap (I still show up as a clockfriend there, there should be a search bar, and there are tonnes of inactive members on the map), which will involve both coding and people actually going in and putting in their locations.

A search bar and updated usergroups would be nice.  i've been looking at the plugin and there's no built in way to do either, it seems.  It looks like I could manually go through and fix everyone's colors...but that's not much of a solution.  So as to those suggestions - we need someone who can code vBulletin plugins.

As for the inactive members, I could go through and start deleting them, but why?  I like seeing bunches of clocks across the world, even if they're not all active on the forums.
