I don't like it. I just got here, and I don't want to get pushed out of the capsule that quickly.

I just got here too and am writing the program that will "kick me out" (the auto-updater), so just imagine how I feel! :P

Also, there doesn't seem to be a way to get a list of members sorted by reputation score

There actually is one. You can do a member search and then sort by reputation. For whatever reason, if you go to the next page it reverts back to sorting by name, but if you manually type page 2 or page N or whatever it will stay sorted correctly.

I've got the auto-updater program working with the new system to the point that it is functional again. No idea if I'll be able to put links to profiles or do colors, I imagine not since we can't use HTML or BBCode or anything like that, so say goodbye to those features (and any formatting in the descriptions: italics, size, color, etc). If we set the bar at 1000 rep then there are 71 members currently in the group.

(Edit: Holy crap! BBCode size and italics actually still work. This version doesn't test colors, but that might be possible too [hopefully])

25 rep per day limit no matter, pick something too unlike and to pick something else to like, Fun it became pretty volatile. I wonder about how the notification sytem deal with that kind of like/unlike/like/unlike/etc. things anyone tried ?

 

EDIT:  not totally sure but appear the user profile user side only keep track of last update change stat

Hey, you're right! It wasn't easy to get to but I got there. Interesting-- now all rep counts can be measured, including that of SQUAD and the orangesuits. I suppose it's not just possible for a member to get past Val and Jeb, it's inevitable--they're stuck at 61,000 while we steadily increase :)

Great news! Our basic BBcode still works! You can do Bold, Underline, and Italics, as well as color, size, and titled links! Lists also work, much to my delight. Everything in the OP except tables is still functinal with BBCode! Which means we won't have to drastically change the program. :D

There is a way to update the group, magico13 has assured me of that. 

 

@Red Iron Crown, I thought rep power was going on the to-do list? Is it not possible? And your argument is made invalid by the fact that our x5 rep count was carried over. If our total rep count was divided by 5 to make it as if we had received all the rep on this forum, then it would be fair to leave it. But we were left with our x5 rep from the old forums, meaning there's lots of users on the list who didn't receive 500 replikes. 

Either increase rep power, or figure out a way to divide rep to where it would be like all rep had been given on this forum. Right now the hybrid doesn't work well at all. I'm putting the group on hold until the migration chaos subsides anyways, so we have some time to discuss all of this. :)

Expand  

But there's one more problem: I've already got 10 or 15 replikes since the forum change, and then they would be worth less.

Good news everybody! The updater program has been updated to the new forum. For those of you who want to check it out, here's the link. Thankfully most of the BBCode still works and I just needed to modify the data scraping parts. For those of you who might be interested in the output, here's the list it came up with for users with reputation >= 1000 (note: the descriptions file I have is not the same as the one @Endersmens has. Mine is very outdated.)

Neither of these options is quite feasible, I'm afraid. I guess you'll have to just choose a threshold for the group and go with it.

I need some opinions. The new group is almost ready to post. So I have a question: Should I change this thread, and keep the last LGG update in a spoiler, or should I start a new thread and link this one? This one might be locked to prevent confusion, but it will still be easily accessable. The new thread would keep things clean and tidy as well. Thoughts?

I am nearly certain that it's a quote from a movie or show or something.
In any case, I think the previous LGG should be put in a spoiler, and the new one taking over the OP.

Expand  

Pretty darn sure it's a Doctor Who reference. In any case, we should keep the old LGG somewhere, so I suppose the spoiler will work.

I support the new thread idea, for the same reason: keeping this one preserved, and keep it as a memory.

Also, starting a new thread would make more sense considering the forum and reputation change.

Maybe do a poll to decide ?

:confused:

 

I think I've chosen, I'll be starting the new thread when I get home tonight with the first update. Since there are no descriptions to write at the moment updates can come on a whim, so if you suddenly pass 1000, or the ranks change, shoot me a PM and I'll run the program. :) Actually, it will probably start with this question: What to name it?
 

I've come up with two possible names. The "Rep Grand Group" (grand being 1 grand, or 1000) or the "Like Grand Group." Anyone have any other suggestions?

This thread is quite old. Please consider starting a new thread rather than reviving this one.
