IDEA: Random thread
« on: October 23, 2009, 01:20:47 AM »
I sometimes go through the old forum threads on Amiga.org when i`m bored.  Sometimes they make for very interesting reading.  Reading posts from people who have since disappeared from Amiga.org etc.  Then I had an idea...

We have the random image feature, now showing more random images than ever.

What about a random thread feature??

Pssh.....


I'm going to assume that none of you are virgins, nor do you have any to ante up to the Amiga.org Gods, 'cos they ain't coming!  ;P

Don't look at me. I haven't been a virgin for a *LONG* time. :P

Theoretically, it's easy enough to do. Making a vbulletin compliant module for the front page might not be so easy without the requisite documentation. Having said that, there might already be one available :)

I`ve never seen or heard of it being done before...  Could it be an Amiga.org exclusive?!?!?

When I read the title "Random thread" I thought this was going to be a thread where we just post random stuff...

Like,

If a duck farts while swimming, does it's speed increase?
A3000D (16mhz, 2MB Chip, 4MB Fast, SCSI (300+MB), SuperGen Genlock, Kick 3.1)
Back in my day, we didn\'t have water. We only had Oxygen and Hydrogen, and we\'d just have to shove them together.

This is one of those pivotal moments when I point out that you really need to talk to Bill P to see what he'd like to do.  As easy, or as hard as it may be (dunno, haven't looked), I'm specifically not touching anything to do with the administration of the site any more out of respect for the new owner(s).

Karlos could probably check vbulletin.org and have one installed in a few minutes if it existed and/or Bill agreed.
