Restoblog

It’s taken a while, but we’ve got the discussion boards out of development and have released them to the public.

“So what?” you say. “Another message board.”

Yeah, I guess you’re right. But this one is another experiment in so-called “loser-generated content,” using the same rating engine that drives the rest of Restohof.

This means that you can classify threads as truth or tripe, and the best ones will rise to the home page, and the worst will be relegated to their own special page. The goal is to create a user-modified discussion board that is driven by the community at large.

Want to see the best? Go here. Prefer to dwell in the sludge? Go here.
Don’t like something? Set it as tripe. Something good in there? Truth, baby, truth!

The old way is to whine about it, and maybe sic the moderators on an offensive post or poster. The old way is to request a “sticky.” The old way is to hope that the moderators will listen to you. Forget about all that, now you can be in charge. The site is yours.
Even better, what you write and how often you write is linked to your profile. Do well, and your votes carry more weight. Don’t do so well, and your word counts for a bit less.
We had a lot of fun discussing it, testing it, and making it.

Hope you enjoy using it.

Have fun!
