what was so bad...

about /all anyway?

Why was it 'secret' in the first place? and why has it been taken away without explanation? It's not like it put people off posting is it?

Why is it one rule for image comps and another for QotW? I know some grief was dished out because high-voted QotW suggestions apparently 'weren't being listened to' but couldn't the /all feature can be used for QotW only?

/all was a great thing...and I miss it like fuck. I loved watching people's posts 'climb the charts' as it were...

Perhaps a view to the /all page could be handed out as a passworded 'prize' for winning the QotW? - with the possibility of it being revoked if the privilidge is seen to be abused?

Or even made an option on your account details?

Or even become part of a 'premium' account? - for people who have made a donation?

Or you could just bring it back...and help everybody out.

I concur.
Oh to have the power of a Fuhrer, to be able to create and destroy concepts of such importance to us mere mortals as /all on whatever whim takes your fancy.

What could such a Fuhrer do possibly do to help appease unrest and disaffection among his loyal troops?

I think I like the premium account idea... That could work... maybe?

I miss /all too :(

Does anyone know
for sure that it was removed on purpose? It disappeared during a period of code changes to the board (nested replies etc), so possibly the /all function in the earlier code simply wasn't added to later version.

I think it was a 'debug' feature so in all likelihood, debug functions were disabled during the code change. Wouldn't be much work to re-enable it, I'm sure.

Chart Cat...

You sound clever and wise. Please pass on your knowledge to the B3ta Grupenfuhrers and tell them to sort it!

(I would do it..but they might ask me something technical and I'd end up looking at my feet all sheepshly muttering 'I dunno')

Already dunnit
Mailed cr3, robtoo and The Ubermensch rob ages ago, but nobody --NOBODY-- even acknowledged the message.

Then I pestered rob again.

Then I pestered him on facebook.

I think he hates me.
