We’ve had a couple of those over the years, but thankfully they’re not the norm. I’m hoping my response will nip that kind of thing in the bud. Someone’s also been voting down our links consistently every week for at least the past 6 weeks. Not sure what’s up with that.
I wondered what was going on with that and why the threads only had a few votes lately.
has everybody +1’d this lately?
August 18, 2011 at 5:05 pm #29345ElsinoreKeymasterIt’s pretty much the first thing I do every week, but yeah, maybe we really need to push the link voting. Not sure if it’ll thwart the down-voter, or if they even think they’re accomplishing anything other than being generally negative, but yeah…
August 18, 2011 at 5:13 pm #29346CauseISaidSoParticipantI’m not sure I know what y’all are talking about with the link voting – is that a TF thing?
August 18, 2011 at 5:18 pm #29347ravnosticParticipantNope–just ‘thumbs up’ the post–it’s there at the top of the thread. (with little icon thumb goodness, to boot…)
August 18, 2011 at 5:31 pm #29348ElsinoreKeymasterYeah, it’s a TF thing. If admins see a link with tons of +1 votes, it can get their attention and sometimes influence greening. It doesn’t really do anything for Farktography since we’re greened every week anyway. Used to be (in the long ago before we had a set green time) we rushed to vote up the link hoping to get it noticed and greened within a reasonable span of time and going live at a reasonable hour. Once the time got normalized and it wasn’t that necessary, a lot of people stopped link voting on the thread.
August 18, 2011 at 5:36 pm #29349CauseISaidSoParticipantI must be blind, rav. I see Facebook “Like” and Google +1 buttons (neither of which I do so I can’t help there), but I’m not seeing a thumb icon… ?
Edit after Els’s post: Ah. Nevermind then.
August 18, 2011 at 6:19 pm #29350Zero_ExponentParticipantAlso, Zero Exponent: You were so right. Now where’s my Advil? Hm, maybe I should make it tequila.
Awww, poor Els … you do know that, for the most part (ie 99.99%), we love you and think you do a great job, right?
Also, belated thank you to whoever decided to use my suggestion for the naming of the contest. I’m pretty sure it was Kestrana, but I’m too lazy to check.
August 18, 2011 at 6:28 pm #29351ElsinoreKeymasterYeah, and I hope you guys know I love you, too! I have a low tolerance for big egos and drama llamas, so Farktography has always been a nice haven away from that crap…
August 19, 2011 at 7:43 pm #29352olavfParticipantMy G-M MOFARKING SOB DNS PROVIDER IS DOWN AGAIN.
Well, crap. I know what I’m doing this weekend.
August 19, 2011 at 9:39 pm #29353orionidParticipantI wonder what happened there.
August 19, 2011 at 10:05 pm #29354olavfParticipantSecond time it’s happened in about a month – they’re back up now, but last time, they were down for 24 hours and didn’t answer the phone. One of my accounts is due to be re-upped…well, now that they’re running again, I can work on getting things changed this afternoon, and make the switch over the weekend (after the contest)
August 21, 2011 at 4:11 pm #29355ElsinoreKeymasterCongrats to oddmind this week!
August 21, 2011 at 4:12 pm #29356olavfParticipantCongrats indeed! Very clever!
August 21, 2011 at 5:04 pm #29357U-ManParticipantCongrats indeed! Very clever!
And executed nicely. Good job.
