I think everyone should have to fill out "who you are/why do you want to join club409" retroactively and have it on their info page for great justice.

Hey do you think you could allow aliases? e.g. - If I want to keep this same account but change my display name to "t-man." I would just create a new acct but I don't want to lose my veterency (I'm what a double star now maybe? No red bullets for me but maybe someday).

Also I've been working on my Simpsons game a little and I'll be adding login functionality soon. Could I use club409 for login authentication? I wanna make this shit intergrated!

i'm inclined to just change your account name to t-man in the database unless other ppl think that would be a useful feature.

as for the simpsons integration i'd be happy to get something worked up :-D i've never messed with flash + the internets; i've only used it to draw ass pirate flags or "dont pee on the seat" signs so i don't know anything of the scripting or stuff like that.

but if the flash stuff can access the php session information (which includes whether or not you're logged in and your username if you are) or if flash could just load up something like this and parse it then we're good to go.

not sure if anyone actually uses the link archive feature but if you've taken a look at it in the last 2 years or so you might have noticed that every post was labeled as "Anon" .. that was a leftover effect of the original no-login enter-your-name-every-time-you-post process.. Current posts are identified by the userId field which is a number and i wasn't populating the "name" field which still exists in the database table (so to preserve gems like this one fourth from the bottom).

so anyway now all of the posts that were created after the switch to threads have the appropriate user name applied. And every post created from now on will also have the correct user name applied.. with the exception of anyone in the attached list. Those users need not only their firstname but also their lastname to differentiate / make sense.

[4] => sugar tits
[9] => Matt Taylor
[18] => Chris Hankins
[24] => Chris Ronderos
[28] => c b
[30] => Send Help
[31] => Drew Day
[32] => V Pesh
[40] => Alex Langley
[41] => matt ford
[43] => Muhammad Jihad
[47] => Angry Mob
[48] => alex chang
[67] => Chris Ladewig
[71] => Teh FBI
[72] => Teh GBI

luckily none of those users are regular posters so i can just run my little "update names" script every so often and fix 'em up :)

Well this new "feature" wont really make a difference to anyone else but I'm changing the way the whole "have i seen the latest version of this thread" system works.. it should end up taking a lot less space in the database :-D

P.S. In the midst of the upgrade to this database optimization I neglected to propagate the "newness" of any thread that you've never seen. So basically if you'd like to make sure you're up on everything just check the front page or two of threads and see if there are any titles you dont recognize even if they're not in bold :-)

You might notice the "remember me" checkbox.. that's just a teaser because i'm not finished with it yet. but it's pretty close :)
