If not for the current qotw
could we at least have it back for the offtopic board and past qotws?

It would be nice
to get some kind of response about this. We've been banging on about it for over a year now.

Ever thought
of actually gazzing rob or cr3 or robtoo about it?

I think this place is just a backwater unfrequented by the likes of them.
( Noely Noel people in my ear are telling me to stay calm, Fri 17 Apr 2009, 13:13, Reply)

Done.
Rob didn't give a shit. I've sent off messages to robtoo and cr3. I'll let you know if they respond.

EDIT: cr3 tells me that it was disabled because it's very CPU intensive. I asked if he could come up with a substitute and he said he might, but that he wasn't feeling too fluffeh toward the QOTW crowd because someone in there keeps bashing him.

So: whoever is badmouthing cr3 (*coughBERTcough*), knock it the fuck off, willya? The guy seems pleasant enough to me.

I'd be more inclined to say
"man the fuck up" to cr3. If one person bashes you, ignore them. It's childish and unfair to punish everyone because you hold a grudge against one person.

Exactly
Well put my friend.
(PJM Does not love Liberace, Sat 18 Apr 2009, 11:38, Reply)

I code this site in my spare time out of the love in my heart and rarely visit QOTW.
So when I'm searching around for my username for things that have gone wrong, and all I ever see is people badmouthing me on QOTW, it does NOT exactly inspire me to jump in to it and pander to their requests.

If I was salaried this would be different, but as it is, I'm not. And I have very little love for a community that I've never really participated in which only comes out with negative things. I put a lot of time in to this site and could do without it.

This isn't to say that I won't be putting it back (I probably will some time this week), but your attitude stinks
If you want a favour done, telling me to "man the fuck up" is a fucking stupid way of doing it.

It's a QOTW meme
Don't take it personally :)
( cunt cat retarded science: indistinguishable from religion, Mon 20 Apr 2009, 3:42, Reply)

I did already
perhaps two or three times over the last year, never got any reply from rob, cr3 or robtoo. I guess I'm just not important enough to warrant a response.
( cunt cat retarded science: indistinguishable from religion, Sat 18 Apr 2009, 8:19, Reply)

If there's a gaz sent to more than one mod it should probably go to /mailus instead
As that'll get a response. With gaz, we don't know who's replied.

Thanks for responding :)

It's enabled now for the 30 best posts
Essentially replicating the "best" feature which is the default view for old QOTW posts.

Am I missing something here that "best" wasn't doing? I can't have it spew out all of the answers, before you ask. Too CPU intensive and was never designed to be public.
( cr3 history books forgot about us, Sun 19 Apr 2009, 13:03, Reply)

Thanks so much.
Best does its thing at the end of a question... /all did it at any time. One request - please could it be linked from the 'Pages:' cell as 'Popular', like in image challenges, if it doesn't load the server too much?

I think the main reason you might get negativity from QOTW is because many of our requests go unanswered. I, for one, appreciate that this is a hobby for you and you're not paid, and I hope I speak for everyone who's used /all before when I say thanks for taking the time to amend the code.

Oh yeah, that's what it does. Heh.
Naw, I won't add a link for now. I'll see if it's stable and such before doing that.

I might go add a search link to the links board, though.

We really *do* appreciate the work you put in cr3, but hopefully you can see how frustrating it gets when QOTW board members make all the right noises (for over a year) but get absoutely no action --or even a response-- from any of the various mods who were contacted independently by several of us.

The majority of those asking for this feature have donated to the site too, ignoring us (by accident or otherwise) just makes us feel marginalised.

QOTW: a lonely frontier town, populated by fluffy people.
( cunt cat retarded science: indistinguishable from religion, Mon 20 Apr 2009, 3:56, Reply)

Woo!
Thanks for bringing it back, even though it wasn't meant to be that widely known before for server reasons. As No3l said, it means we can check what's doing well before the question is closed.

Thank you!
This is a great feature, cuts out a lot of crappy posts (which I sometimes write myself) and means I'll be reading more of qotw than usual.

Love it!
Ta.

Cheers cr3
As you already know, volunteering to do things gets you silent thanks from the majority and non-silent hassle from a few. Such is life.

I didn't know about this feature before, and now I can see the best off topic posts without having to wade through 119 pages of the stuff. That's the rest of my evening sorted at least.

Thanks cr3
sorry you've been getting bad-mouthed!

some people out there need to realise that you, Rob et al. aren't getting paid for this, neither are you doing it out of the goodness of your heart.

Sometimes I wouldn't be surprised if you told us all to fuck off...
( Vipros too orangey for crows, Sun 19 Apr 2009, 20:46, Reply)

Thank you for reinstating it.
It's appreciated.

Most of us appreciate that moderating can be an utterly thankless task. Most of us who contribute do so in our own time out of affection for the site too, so it's good to see something given back.

Well bugger my buttocks...!

Thank you kindly cr3 sir.

I wasn't aware of any cr3 bashing, but I can kind of understand why you let us 'stew in our own juice' now. On behalf of fellow QotWers, I apologise.

I'm also sorry to hear that you don't visit QotW much and that it doesn't 'pump your nads'.

Give it a go again if you get the chance...you might be pleasantly surprised.

I'm almost a little bit disappointed...what have I got to whinge and bitch about now?

*thinks*

Oooh hang on a sec...WHERE'S THE FUCKING 'SEARCH' FEATURE GONE??

EH?...EH??? Pull your finger out man!

*Starts protest*

Woo!

Just kidding.

Thanks again.

Thanks A Million
I, for one, really appreciate this.

Now who the fuck is bad-mouthing you on QOTW?

Remember my Mad Afghanis who used to do jobs for me in London? - I've still got their numbers and can send them round to whoever is giving you grief. A swift knife up the Khyber Pass should sort them out.

Cheers
