petition: hire ffr user "Fission" as a site dev to fix/coherent the site code

[s1rnight]

i am very excited at all the support for adding user fission to the flash flash revolution dev team. i think he is exactly what we as a site needs! please give him a chance, velocity~

[FoJaR]

can he make TGB searchable? that is my only question.

i am sure he could!

If he was global mod & admin I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be that hard to include a search function

But I wouldn't want to start adding stuff to Fission's plate without him forming his own opinion first in all this.

Ban fission

Something like that. I'll try to bring it up with him tonight. If it is the indexing issue, Zag mentioned that in order to Index TGB he has to Index the entire forum (Indexing is apparently all or nothing) which would require a ~12 hour forum downtime.

Yeah, I might kill the Wiki at some point.









Kidding.









But that could happen you know.

Not sure he can unless he has access to some permission that, I guess, only a few admins have.

There are no downsides to adding on Fission.
Like, let's be real lol.

no
it's not like something will break if you try to fix shoddy coding

yes, that was part of the idea because i'm more than aware that this is what needs to be done at this point

i'm also aware

with all due respect, it was a misguided effort. it wasn't targeted correctly. i can expound upon this if i need to.

choof is right -- this is a fallacy in programming. how do you think high profile websites evolve? they don't just twiddle their thumbs waiting for something to happen.

immediately? no. it is something that would easily happen in the long term though just as a result of an entire revamp of the front end.

i appreciate that this thread was created, but having actually pondered it i only need a few things that don't require a lot of access right now. mostly placeholder entries to get a better understand of the layout of FFR's database so that i can actually write code against it.

As long as the end game is Raw Scoring leaderboards and level ranks, I'm game

[s1rnight]

fission is a good and cool user and has loads of ideas to make ffr a really fun site looking forward and has even agreed to velocity's terms to be on the ffr dev team. i really hope velocity puts him on the ffr dev team!

[Mahou]

Now if only FFR would let me make gfx for them.
