also, don't bother answering me, i won't see it anyway.
Fucking schyzo ;)
Have you took your little pills today ?
Well this is beautiful marketing for the language. At some
point, the leadership will need to put away ideology and get
realistic about what belongs on this site.
I would love to see the forum evolve into something similar to
reddit, where everyone can judge the value of a comment/thread
and off-topic threads (or threads with low-values) get
down-voted very quickly. It might also help to avoid such 50
pages threads (like auto-decoding) as the most-important
thread stays on top and newcomers to the discussion don't have
to read everything to get the gist.
Preliminary documentation work:

And you wan submit the result on Pantallex DFeeds.
The widget on the homepage must use something similar (except
for up/down) votes. So at least 10 replies + something with the
age of the topic. [OT] is usally a good hint about the quality
of the topic but people must remember to add it when they slide.
I am not sure whether CyberShadow has the time to add this
feature, so I doubt this will come in the near future without
someone volunteering and implementing it. The code is here, so if
anyone wants to send him a PR:
https://github.com/CyberShadow/DFeed
From recent experiences one should definitely get the okay of
Andrei & Walter first that such a huge change is wanted.
In any case I was trying to say that we could use reddit more
actively, we have our own subreddit
(https://www.reddit.com/r/d_language), but it's not used for
discussions. So maybe killing the bot & actively encouraging a
discussion to move to reddit once it hits the OT barrier, might
be an easy solution.
I opened a thread on reddit about this, in case you are
interested ;-)
