The Ministry thing was clever but it's hell trying to remember whether VvW is in Showing Off or Slacking Off.
That's not a problem with the "Ministry of..." naming condition, it's a problem with the "...____ing off" naming convention. IIRC the names were clearer originally, though I admit I don't remember any of them except "Ministry of Sticking It to The Man". Which I liked. Oh, and "Ministry of Keeping It Real", which I liked because it's a Simpsons ref.
Anyway. Sounds like we've decided on how we're recategorizing; you're right, we should focus on snappy new names.
Perhaps Videoland for games, Hall of Justice for politics, Neighborhood of Make-Believe for creative works...or do place names sound too much like Pyoko's new Earthbound theme?
I think Thad meant more about the second response.
Indubitably.
Ridiculously poised question; simple answer. Direct.
Like hell. "OK" is not an appropriate response to the question "Are you speaking on behalf of all the programmers in this community?" It does not even parse.
Yes, it LOOKED like you were probably using "OK" to mean "yes", but you could just as easily have been using it to mean "Whatever, dude, I'm going to blow off your question rather than answer it." You answered ambiguously when you could have easily answered clearly.
I think I speak on behalf of all the programmers in this community when I say: I'm not spending my time on that shit.
So there's your answer, Guild: the guy who, judging by his previous posts in this thread, wants EXACTLY what you're describing more than anyone else here, doesn't think it's worth the time it would take to make it work.
But it would still be pretty cool.
I've upgraded & to admins.
Ah, that's why my front page looks different.
