Preserved Topic: another suggestion...

If you wouldn't mind another suggestion...I was wondering if the date thing could be fixed to be in everyone's respective timezone? Mine reads 6 hrs later than it actually is. Hope that's not too picky...
<P>------------------

Heh, I might be able to do that, I've already set it to display things in MY timezone, which is Sweden right now. It might not be easy, Javascript can pull the times from your machine, but a server-side script pulls it from the SERVER, which is in Minnesota and thinks the time is 7 hours less than it is for me. I'll have to think on this one...<P>-doc-

No hurry, I just happened to notice and wondered if it was possible.<P>------------------

You could put an option in the preferences thing that let's people specify their current date and time, and it would account for the difference that way. I also thought of a different way you could combine Perl and JavaScript, but it's really complicated...

I like it displaying "Sweden" time. I KNOW what time it is here, I like to see what times the Doc posts his messages - an interesting aspect as far as I'm concerned.
<P>------------------

Not to stir the pot with slime or anyone else, but I'm with DL-44. I like seeing what time it is when Doc posts.

Oh and BTW Doc, I like the addition of locations, and #'s of posts for the members. How many posts does it take to become a full fledged lunatic anyway?

Heh heh. Actaully, Malin and I are the ONLY lunatics on the board, that's another word for moderator. I'll look into hacking that one a bit, shouldn't be too hard. Where should the cut-off be? Suggestions appreciated!<P>-doc-

Hmmm...how about 50? If someone posts 50x, that would usually be an indication that said lunatic candidate cares enough about the Ozone forum to warrant promotion to full fledged lunacy....what do you other maniacs think? (slime, DL-44?) Maybe you guys have another suggestion too eh?

I think we should try to come up with as many as possible, and make the differences between the post counts get larger and larger. Something like...<P>75: lunatic
200: something better
500: something really cool
1000: something incredible<P>Y'know? Maybe not... I can't exactly think up more things to be.<P>Maybe 75 or 80 for "lunatic".

OK...gotta email DL-44 to see what he thinks of it as well. Of course it's still going to be up to the L.I.C. (lunatic in charge) Doc Ozone heheheh<P>

How about Sanitarium Bound, Bedlamite, Ebeneezer, Schizoid, Neurotic, Diseased, Aberration, Driveler, and finally Rambling for those that reach some ungodly number of posts and prove that we can have too much time on our hands.<P>And if we get too carried away we can start people off with Cataleptic until they reach ten or so posts. <P>------------------
-I'm not a complete idiot,
there are some parts missing.

Okay, how 'bout this:<P>1. Confused
2. Delusional
3. Deranged
4. Stark Raving Mad<P>Retain Lunatic as the moderator title.
<P>------------------

Wow. Just thinking about what a productive conversation this is.

Hey Doc, just wanted to say good job with the "number of posts" info. Thanks for replying in such timely fashion, I know you're busy with things other than just the Forum.<P>------------------

I kinda like: "Thorazine induced drooler"<P>------------------

good one <IMG SRC="http://www.ozones.com/forum/biggrin.gif"> how about plain old "Drooler" ?
