That looks good, so far! I assume you’ll have a complete list of all the text formatting options, as well as a more thorough explanation (in laymen’s terms)?

jrpowell's avatar

That is just a few hours old. Keep in mind that anyone can edit it. It has just been me and allie. Feel free to go nuts. The edit option is in the lower left corner.

I would add how moderation works, and that everyone gets moderated.

PandoraBoxx's avatar

It’s a great idea. Finding the chat room is a pain in the ass. Whatever I bookmark never seems to work.

Nice JP, nice.

The first thing that comes to mind is: Everything that is in the faq and guidelines, because no one seems to read them anymore. And it would save us from one or two how do I make a link or bold text.

Awards seem to confuse people and could use a place to be explained (not giving the answers away obviously). References/links to user generated content would be nice, like RaR, the campfire chatroom, etc.

I’m tempted to say the moderation process, but I feel like that would become a mess if people can edit it freely..

What else.. history about the site and founders, meme’s and ongoing jokes, userstats and visitor data, technology behind the site, known bugs, etc. etc.

how you get the robot crush award! that’d be vicious.
no, but maybe a thing about ettiquet (sorry if it’s spelled wrong) on here.

fundevogel's avatar

the map and the photo album. I don’t know where the map went.

oh, and jellies and evrul ought to be added to the slang page.

PandoraBoxx's avatar

A link to the site usability stats. I keep looking for that, and can’t find it. I think Bendrew posted a link in a response around the time of the wis.dm invasion.

Why is there an insult to those of us from the South? We’re not all stupid.

I can does spells gud.

Being a new jelly you answered most of the questions I first had. Maybe some screen shots would be helpful?

PandoraBoxx's avatar

What about a Popular Questions questions page? How many times has “Why do street lights go out when I go past?” been asked?

You forgot the poo hat…

J0E's avatar

The etiquette thing is kinda funny, but probably not in good taste.

Dog's avatar

I tried editing! It is so easy!
(Added flagging to the moderation area)

This is really cool @johnpowell !

Sarcasm's avatar

I’d lurve to see a user map.

Allie's avatar

@troubleinharlem There is a page for etiquette here: http://www.weshouldbedancing.com/fluther/wikka/Etiquette
@PandoraBoxx Popular questions based on…? How many answers? How many GQs?
@fundevogel @Sarcasm I think the map might have been removed. I thought @PnL had mentioned somewhere that it was taken down.

jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities's avatar

I think it would be great to put The Fluther Story on there.

jrpowell's avatar

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities :: It is in here. But I might give it its own page since it should have one.

jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities's avatar

@johnpowell Nice. Good work on this site, it’s a really great idea.

Dr_C's avatar

I’d like to see something along the lines of a “The girls of fluther” 12 month calendar… there are some drop-dead gorgeous jellies out there.

jrpowell's avatar

@Dr_C :: I added this…. That is about the closest you are getting.

Dog's avatar

Great add on @johnpowell!

jrpowell's avatar

Like I said. Anyone can edit. I would like it if you do. I am Lazy.

Sarcasm's avatar

@johnpowell But I am lazier…

augustlan's avatar

And I am laziest.

Dr_C's avatar

I defy any of you to be lazier than I. I just had a nurse type this up for me.

Dog's avatar

@Dr_Cyou win.

Saturated_Brain's avatar

Great project! It would be pretty cool if Bendrew were to integrate this into the site and add all the jellyfish and under-the-sea theme everywhere.

Oh, and I went exploring around the index, and I found some pretty interesting stuff. For example, what’s haha? It appears to be a woman wearing bikini, a pair of goggles, and a funny hat thingy thing. Plus a photoshop effect has been applied to it. What is it?

augustlan's avatar

@Saturated_Brain That’s Allie, in a shark fin hat!

Allie's avatar

@Saturated_Brain @augustlan Oh my goodness. Haha. (blushes) The original shark fin photo is better than that one with the PS effect, at least I think so.

augustlan's avatar

I love that picture. And yes, the original is better!

Dog's avatar

I just added a couple of dog pix to the photo album. It is great to have it linked in so easy to the wiki! Would it not be totally awesome to see Milo and others in there?

jrpowell's avatar

Crap.. I didn’t realize that viewing the contents of folders was allowed. I should turn that off.
