If you were this site's admin for 24 hours...

I would implement a shop system so you can buy coloured names, custom avatars, custom titles.. extra addons (special effects =)), extra smileys. And make a whole combat system behind this forum to earn the gold >=)

Also ofc, a bank!


I would also assign 2/3 ppl to keep the damned spam to get more gold to a limit, probably >=)

I would also give myself the agony of agony spell (Dungeon Siege, anyone knows?) which allows me to cause such a massive pain to the user, he would be in the agony of an agony.

Each and every moderator/administrator has shown a huge amount of maturity, judgment, and overall brains.

[SUCK_UP] Quite true. The World Editor Help section is crawling with strange creatures called noobs, so it takes a lot of patience to not lose your temper. [/SUCK_UP]

If I'd be made an admin, I probably wouldn't change anything. I like the forums the way they are. :eek:

Hmm... If I ran TH (since the "if you were an admin" part doesn't apply to me) I would actually turn off rep for members and probably reset everyone to 0. Mods and Admins would then be in charge of repping helpers and such and the rep flood control would be taken off.

Signatures galore! I like signatures and I think members would be able to handle text-only signatures with a character limit. Pic sigs for people with X+ amount of rep.

Custom titles for all! We do this on GH.com where if you post 100 posts, you go up a ranking. Then your custom title is automatically activated and you can use it/change it, etc. etc.

I'd probably change the direction of the site, but that's because I'm not TH. TH is older and knows a lot more about technical support and business than I do. I'm more into art, writing, etc. etc.

Basically, I'd probably make it more like GH.com. So it'd be a waste for me to run this site when I already run GH.com :D

You know, I am actually a naked chimp behind a computer, eating banana and scratching my head and occasionally helping people at here, thehelper.net.
The fact I can read, write and socially interact makes me wonder, everyday (Because I am a chimpanse).:D

Now, to be serious, I agree with Seth on the repute thing.

I would set every members rep to -1. Just because I wasn't allowed to be it for 48 hours. Ha.

Same thing! But for me its becuase I'm a pineapple.:D

First i would make a rule that allows members to flame noobs (the people who ask "how cna R me chage mix hero lveel¿:confused: " Because I just hate them soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much.)

Then i would let mods and up call dumb ass's dumb ass's.

I would give signatures to some people, but they can't change it so if the person is a noob i plue "please don't be mad, i just suck... in both ways.;) "

I would ban the next person to post."

And i would make a rule against chat speak (u, r, etc..).

Oh and every 10th of the month everyone must plus rep me so I don't cut them over the internet.

Yea, i really think my ideas will help improve TH...:rolleyes:

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Well, the first things I would do is remove users who haven't logged on in over a year.

Then, I'd allow sigs.

Then, I'd start randomly deleting posts, according to my whims.

I would make the entire posting system into a game.

a person would start with 1000 hp.

A persons post to the reply would do damage based on how long their post is, minus spelling/grammar mistakes.

If the post kills the thread starter, that person gets 200*level+(current level*100)g and a defined amount of 400*(level*2) XP

The thread starter's HP would restart at 1000, and you have one less level.

Levels would give you bonus HP, and a level up in a chosen ability.

Abilities would be bought with gold.

Anything that would be considered off topic or spam would result in the posters level and everything being reset.

The thread poster gets +30 hp every day their thread goes unanswered. Also, the starting post would add one armor per word. Other posts would have their post's damage minus the armor.

Locked threads would result in a reset in all players accounts (or whoever made the thread become locked)

Now if this could work... XD And it would be impossible, everyone would bicker about it, but it might've been fun...

Yay! Seth for the admin!
Damn he already is...oh well... :p

Well the only thing worth changing is the registration process, as a matter of fact I'd add one thing...
Every new member should be forced to watch the below for 30 minutes at least before being able to post. :p

Make all users of TH praise me as the only Divinity. Then i'll make them march each 5'th of november in respect of their deity, and to recruit new members to a allready growing religion. The march should include dancing, music, and prayers.

If I was a admin for that long, I would find my first animation on flash. that I had posted in Jindos Winky avatar thread * i cannot seem to locate this thread anywhere.* and I would get it back.

I am so angry that I can't find it.

It was the one where Smurf Winky pulled a sword out of his pants and then *By mistake* cut of his "wii".

I know it was on the second page of the thread and the third comment. right after that Halo_king had posted after me.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
