Ask the Moderators

[JadedWraith]

The mods just pick a theme out of their hats. Folks can contribute ideas if they want, just PM a mod.

Oh, no, the mods here are quite tyrannical. You should see what they come up with for casual Friday*shudders and runs away scared* ;D

[Bagpuss]

Luckily for y'all we only do the Themes once a Month.

Thank goodness. I haven't been anything "good" in a long time. I mean really? Blue handed bounty hunters?

[Bagpuss]

The Hands of Blue reference makes sense in the context of the Show.
If you or others want something "good" : come up with a Theme idea for us to consider and some rankings if possible.

[Jper]

Is there an overview of the themes GW has done so far?

Can we see Iron Man 3 themed ranks this weekend?

[Bagpuss]

Sorry but no.

What I can do is add Iron Man into the Lists for future Monthly themes.

[Seaboe Muffinchucker]

I think we need a Moomin theme.

Seaboe (I'll take Thingumy & Bob)

[DarkenLycht]

Are you only picing themses from fantasy and sci-fi movies/TV shows or would you do one from a sci-fi game like Mass Effect, too ?

[Bagpuss]

Thanks,Seaboe.

Ok.Theme Suggestions/discussion from this post onward : please use PM ,folks!

Back to non-Theme Questions,thanks.

[Skydiver]

The general qualities for themes

fun
well known
PG suitable
something that an average forum member may know about

Also....it's gotta be something that we know about. the mods make up the ranks and rep comments and we need to have some degree of familiarity with the show/thing/fandom

We welcome suggestions. We may/may not use them, but it's always good to add more to the list.

Okay, I love this place, come here every day, well almost.. okay, okay I am guilty

got no complaints but just one.. just one..

Why can't you bring back the [spoiler] tags - please!! You have all the other buttons back, but those!!



Anyhow, just wondering?

Thanks

[Bagpuss]

The Spoiler button was a customised hack Darren put into the software to save us time,but as far as I can remember,vbb changes kept wiping out the feature.

I've mailed Darren to see if that template's fixable,and I'll post his answer when possible.

[Skydiver]

Like Baggie said, the spoiler button was a template hack that Darren put into place. And an update removed it and I think made it hard if not impossible to 'make your own buttons'

VB is great in some ways, a real pita in others. And everytime VB pushed out an update, it undoes every hack and tweak he puts in...and sometimes makes it impossible to redo them.
