----------------------------------- Dan Sun Jun 01, 2003 1:41 pm New Compsci Idea ----------------------------------- The idea of making Compsci.ca more school orented has come up, and Tony had the idea of making fourms just for each school. the way this whould wrok is each school that whonts one whould get a user group here at compsci, only the users in this gourp could see there schools forum. there whould be a school mod for each gourp/school which whould have the same powers that the normal mods do here but just in there schools fourm. also the school mod whould be respobale for keeping there user gourp for there school good, ie not letting dumass in, ect. each school whould have a few fourms like. mostly a genreal one and a some for each progaming lague they whont. we whould like your opione on this idea, and of cores the existing fourms whould still saty just we whould have hiden ones for each shool. ----------------------------------- Prince Sun Jun 01, 2003 1:47 pm ----------------------------------- it would b great if i get to mod my skool :twisted:... i mean :D ----------------------------------- krishon Sun Jun 01, 2003 2:06 pm ----------------------------------- that's a good idea, tho i think we could still keep the general forum with it so that we can talk with each other, while talking with our school friends. Cuz probably we may not know stuff, but other ppl do. so yah..that's my opinion bout it ----------------------------------- Dan Sun Jun 01, 2003 2:10 pm ----------------------------------- all current fourms will saty and all poelop can read them this will just be adding more fourms that are school spifck. ----------------------------------- krishon Sun Jun 01, 2003 2:30 pm ----------------------------------- ye, that's fine then :D ----------------------------------- Mazer Sun Jun 01, 2003 3:15 pm ----------------------------------- ok, i apologize in advance if i sound too harsh but honestly, what the hell would be the point of that?! all you're really accomplishing by doing that is dividing a community that is already small enough. and seriously, why the hell would anyone need a message board for their school? if you go to the same school, would you not see that person just about every day? can you not email/call/visit this person if you need to say something? really, what's the purpose? ----------------------------------- nate Sun Jun 01, 2003 3:30 pm no point ----------------------------------- Dan, there probably is not point. Although it would be a good Idea, there would be only like 3 - 5 people from each sckewl. 1 mod for 5 people is not nessisary, and making 20 diff. forums for skewl would be lots of work. I would wait till there are more ppl. ----------------------------------- Ravage Sun Jun 01, 2003 3:45 pm ----------------------------------- I think it's a bad idea just for the fact that if you want help from friends at your school you could arrange for something other then at this site. Also there is only 3 people from my school on compsci and to have all the extra would be big time pointless. So nah I dont think it would be to great of an idea ----------------------------------- Dark Mist Sun Jun 01, 2003 6:02 pm ----------------------------------- I agree with that too. There is absolutely no point. ----------------------------------- Tony Sun Jun 01, 2003 7:11 pm ----------------------------------- well the idea was not to divide up the community, but to let schools have a sord of their own compsci forum. Here's what I mean: My compsci teacher wanted to make a forum for our school similar to mine, and I told him to just use compsci (thats where the idea came from). Or do you guys remember Delta? He made a compsci forum for his school... The idea here is that all those forums would be hosted on the compsci along with other forums. What schools will be posting are their assignments and stuff like that. Maybe discussions about school specific problems. ----------------------------------- Catalyst Sun Jun 01, 2003 7:13 pm ----------------------------------- i think schools having there own forums isnt a bad idea but i worry that it might hurt the main sites usage ----------------------------------- Tony Sun Jun 01, 2003 7:24 pm ----------------------------------- thats why we put the question up for a discussion... how and why do you think it will hurt the main site? If you have bandwidth in mind, we're planning on upgrading our plan. ----------------------------------- Martin Sun Jun 01, 2003 8:54 pm ----------------------------------- No it's not bandwidth. I don't think that people would end up posting in the school forums. I mean, if you can have the five people in the school forum's help vs. having all of the site's help, most people would choose the big forum. Just on a side note, it would be cool if you could make it so that at the shop you could 'buy' your own private forum, available only to the members of your choice and (obviously) the site mods. ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Sun Jun 01, 2003 9:20 pm ----------------------------------- i dont think its such a good idea, considering even for a school like massey there is only a handful of ppl and there is really no point. but if you guys make it i wont object ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Sun Jun 01, 2003 9:55 pm ----------------------------------- well i know i'll be the only one from my school to join... :roll: ----------------------------------- Blade Sun Jun 01, 2003 11:31 pm ----------------------------------- what about the ppl that only have a few ppl that go to their school that post on the site? what about catalyst. theres no one else that goes to his school that posts on this forum.. it would be a good idea if there were more than a couple ppl from each school.. ----------------------------------- Tony Mon Jun 02, 2003 9:38 am ----------------------------------- but thats the point. Forums will be created only for schools that want to. We dont create it for each user on compsci. If a teacher wants a forum for their compsci classes, we assist them with that. Besides, forums will just be user for stuff like school assignments and discussion of class material. ----------------------------------- Blade Mon Jun 02, 2003 10:52 am ----------------------------------- ok - then thats a good idea.... i would support that.. but only make a forum in that section for each programming language that's needed... dont go and make like 50 million generals and 50 million submissions here... i'd only make a help for each or something like that ----------------------------------- Tony Mon Jun 02, 2003 10:59 am ----------------------------------- well those forums would be hidden unless you're part of that group anyway, so you're not going to notice a difference between 1 and 100 school forums ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Mon Jun 02, 2003 2:54 pm ----------------------------------- you know that there's only less than 2 weeks left till summer right?! ----------------------------------- Blade Mon Jun 02, 2003 3:24 pm ----------------------------------- for me htere's only 11 days of school... well 10 and 1/2 because i have school for the first half of the day then at noon i have period 1 exam... so it sweet... but getting back on topic. oh, i didnt know you were gonna hide them. but you administrators will still be able to see all the forums and go in there and help the pplz with their problems as well. right? ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Mon Jun 02, 2003 5:18 pm ----------------------------------- http://help.msn.com/!data/en_us/data/messengerv50.its51/$content$/omg_smile.gifhttp://help.msn.com/!data/en_us/data/messengerv50.its51/$content$/omg_smile.gifhttp://help.msn.com/!data/en_us/data/messengerv50.its51/$content$/omg_smile.gif Does this mean that i cant go to other schools posts and see what they need help with or submittions??!! if yes then i vote no http://help.msn.com/!data/en_us/data/messengerv50.its51/$content$/confused_smile.gif http://help.msn.com/!data/en_us/data/messengerv50.its51/$content$/confused_smile.gif http://help.msn.com/!data/en_us/data/messengerv50.its51/$content$/confused_smile.gif ----------------------------------- Tony Mon Jun 02, 2003 5:24 pm ----------------------------------- well if there's something they'll need help with, they should post in general area (existing compsci) though you'll be free to join school groups if you're bored... such as some schools (Vincent Massey) might post up some very interesting challanges that many students might find interesting. And you get to pick which schools you would like to view, so you dont get overwhelming amount of threads when browse ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Mon Jun 02, 2003 5:28 pm ----------------------------------- so you dont get overwhelming amount of threads when browse well compsci's community aint that big yet... ----------------------------------- Tony Mon Jun 02, 2003 5:31 pm ----------------------------------- true, but I'm thinking few steps ahead... ----------------------------------- Blade Mon Jun 02, 2003 5:32 pm ----------------------------------- i'm running in 1280 X 1024 and when i go into turing help the whole forum is filled with new posts, cant even see any already read ones... and they've all already been replyed to... this is when i check in the morning then go home for lunch... its crazy. i dont even bother reading most of it ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Mon Jun 02, 2003 5:33 pm ----------------------------------- i think it's a good idea for future... but deviding them into school groups is the part i dont like... =/ ----------------------------------- naoki Mon Jun 02, 2003 5:43 pm ----------------------------------- True dat. Splitting up an already small community is dumb, as is the thought of the crap that ppl from my school could create. I mean, if that mod does anything he might just be beaten up at school, who knows? I also feel putting the submissions of students in school folders is a bad idea; if I need help, I'm gonna ask the person, not wait till he uploads it here. So thanks for considering us little schoolchildren, but I'm happy in this community. I don't need another reason to yell at my friends. ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Mon Jun 02, 2003 6:22 pm ----------------------------------- no bull shit about massey. i can be mod and if anyone lays a finger on me, i'll kick their ass ----------------------------------- Martin Mon Jun 02, 2003 8:11 pm ----------------------------------- Word. I like my idea better though (the buy a forum for bits thing). ----------------------------------- krishon Mon Jun 02, 2003 8:14 pm ----------------------------------- ye, but the bits price might be too hefty for the ppl that dun't have many bits ----------------------------------- Martin Mon Jun 02, 2003 8:21 pm ----------------------------------- That's partly the point...I'd guess that it'd be around 500 to 1000 bits for a personal forum. ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Mon Jun 02, 2003 8:41 pm ----------------------------------- or how about categorized forums which would devide the forums in to classified categories that people with special ranks could access them... and u'd gain access to more forums as yer ranks goes higher.... ----------------------------------- krishon Mon Jun 02, 2003 8:42 pm ----------------------------------- not a bad idea too ----------------------------------- nate Mon Jun 02, 2003 9:04 pm mod for ucc ----------------------------------- I call being mod for UCC if you make the skewl thing. There is about 6 guys signed up from my skew. 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) ----------------------------------- krishon Mon Jun 02, 2003 9:35 pm ----------------------------------- oh ur from UCC, lol. guess where i'm from :twisted: ----------------------------------- kythoon Tue Jun 03, 2003 10:24 am ----------------------------------- where? i'm from ucc too nate who us is here? ----------------------------------- ShadowStorm Tue Jun 03, 2003 11:57 am ----------------------------------- me me!!! i'm from UCC... ohh yeah and nate... u'll never be MOD... btw, having a forum for each school sounds cool, but only if there's like 6+ people.. you don't want to make forums for ever 2 people... but yeah as someone said before.. you're just gonna divide a small community into even smaller pieces.. ----------------------------------- Blade Tue Jun 03, 2003 12:00 pm ----------------------------------- as tony said its only gonna be done for the schools who actually want one... ----------------------------------- Mephi Tue Jun 03, 2003 12:35 pm ----------------------------------- shadowstorm who r u? newayz, i think ill be mod fur ucc:P ----------------------------------- Martin Tue Jun 03, 2003 12:45 pm ----------------------------------- Just a thought....see the similarities? http://www.theonion.com/onion3814/orgy_logistical_nightmare.html ----------------------------------- ShadowStorm Tue Jun 03, 2003 1:10 pm ----------------------------------- lmao .. very funny Darkness.. but yeah.. i get the point. :lol: :lol: ----------------------------------- krishon Tue Jun 03, 2003 4:32 pm ----------------------------------- CRESCENT!!!! :twisted: ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Tue Jun 03, 2003 5:13 pm ----------------------------------- what's that man doing with that dildo?!!??!?! :shock: ----------------------------------- krishon Tue Jun 03, 2003 5:31 pm ----------------------------------- ????? wut r u talkin bout, shadow's avatar? ----------------------------------- kythoon Tue Jun 03, 2003 5:34 pm ----------------------------------- yes i think he is :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: CRESCENT :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: sounds ok, but bandwidth problem? ----------------------------------- krishon Tue Jun 03, 2003 5:35 pm ----------------------------------- lol, u from UCC as well? w/e just drop the stupid rivalry. i dunno y it even exists in the first place. ----------------------------------- Blade Tue Jun 03, 2003 5:52 pm ----------------------------------- about the bw. tony said he was upgrading the plan to unlimited.... ----------------------------------- ShadowStorm Tue Jun 03, 2003 6:21 pm ----------------------------------- no he\s not talking about my avatar (in what why does it look like a dildo?????wtf..) go to this link and you\ll see what he\s talking about : http://www.theonion.com/onion3814/orgy_logistical_nightmare.html btw, yeah.. they're upgrading thei bandwith so it won't be a problem.. ----------------------------------- Mephi Tue Jun 03, 2003 6:45 pm ----------------------------------- yea...its a dumb rivalry...i have no idea how crescent ppl somehow got it into their heads that crescent can even begin to compete with ucc ----------------------------------- Martin Wed Jun 04, 2003 6:09 pm ----------------------------------- Alright, for those who this escaped, let me explain my logic. First of all, I recommend reading the article over just looking at the picture. The guy was complaining that, at his orgy, everyone had different porn preferences, so that if he let everyone have a room with their preference, there would only be one or two people per room, MUCH like it would be if there were school forums. ----------------------------------- naoki Wed Jun 04, 2003 6:16 pm ----------------------------------- mebbe what you do is set a price for a forum, and the idea is you get a group of people from that one school to chip in bits and purchase it. then only they and the mods have access to that board or mebbe those people and the mods can post, but the rest of the people can only view and download this is sorta neat but screws over newcomers after the board's been bought. ----------------------------------- krishon Wed Jun 04, 2003 7:37 pm ----------------------------------- oh really meph, maybe that's y we owned u this year in b-ball :D ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Jun 04, 2003 7:50 pm ----------------------------------- I think you people still miss the point of the whole idea. Its not here to divide us, but to bring in other communities into ours. A school that is interested, might use our tools to make their own forum within ours, brining in people from that school... Members that are more interested then in just reading school related posts will move on to visit forums of the outter (existing) community. 8) I hope this explains things better ----------------------------------- krishon Wed Jun 04, 2003 7:51 pm ----------------------------------- i know, i'm just "clearing" some things up..i just said to forget the rivalry and crap..they just dun't listen ----------------------------------- Mephi Wed Jun 04, 2003 8:28 pm ----------------------------------- which basketball? w/e...we own in hockey...and this is CANADA after all ----------------------------------- krishon Wed Jun 04, 2003 8:29 pm ----------------------------------- w/e, let just stop, its gettin stupid ----------------------------------- ShadowStorm Wed Jun 04, 2003 9:09 pm ----------------------------------- hey. krishon is right.. just STOp... but, yeah . Tony is right.. like none of the people from ucc knew about compsci.. when we got you first projects in Turing.. i gues a lot of people signed up.. so if their were school forums it would sort of swing around.. everyone would know.. it would bring in a lot more people/.. ----------------------------------- BlAcK TuRtLe Fri Jun 20, 2003 6:48 pm ----------------------------------- I agree wholeheartedly. I go to a relatively smaller school and as far as I know noone from my school goes here. If we make a board however our schools comp teacher can spread the word and bring in ppl if they want help. I also think that it should be languages in general cuz we have diff languages at our school . ----------------------------------- Jonny Tight Lips Mon Jul 28, 2003 11:31 am ----------------------------------- I think that the school form idea is a good idea because then people could talk about specific assinments that a teacher assins :D
