The Boss (10035 ego points)

Really need to get some work done on the website.

I definitely need to work on the wall communication. It's a bit confusing. Eventually need to add live chat through use of Ajax I'm guessing.

lol i am sure he does, i just don't want him to think i was voting him down when we actually agreed on something lol!!

Ryan I don't know why i keep having problems with this but on the breastfeeding rivalry I deleted one of ricks ego points instead of adding one. i am clicking on the right arrow. grrrr

And yes, I am currently drafting my witty response to your reply. LOL. It won't be mean or anything, but you knew it was coming. ;-)

Just wanted to let you know that this morning I shared the newest rivalry on Facebook. You might even gain a few new members, but just wanted to see what others think. I have quite a few friends in Texas whom I know will have an opinion and would like to hear what they have to say.

Okay, Ryan. I know I disappeared for awhile but can you tell me some of the latest updates you've made to make JB more active. I figured out that I have 10 min. to edit my posts, which is nice, since I had to use it to ought already! What is this I am seeing about voting up or down others comments or votes? A couple of nieces are here for 2 months of summer, so I don't get computer time. And trying to see everything on an iPhone screen can be difficult. Just interested in knowing what all I can know participate in. Or is there an icon or something I can click on for more details? Think I actually voted and commented on 6 or 7 rivalries tonight, so am getting back into JB!

Hey, just wanted you to know I won't be posting the new rivalry I told you about until 10 or 10:30. That would be around 11p.m. your time. Didn't want you to think I was posting it real soon.

Oh, I'm certain my points will suffer as will my point of view. You know me. I just hope those that disagree will actually state a reason for why they disagree as opposed to just voting my statements down, but it will at least be interesting.

I just wanted you to be aware of the fact that I'm about to start a rivalry tonight that will probably have a few of your members in an uproar.

I wanted you to be aware of the fact that I deliberately made several comments on an older rivalry to put my points back where they should be. I know that it was TNinfidel (Rob) who voted my comments down due to the fact that his last login date shows 7/16/12. I noticed that after the other 3 members who joined the recent rivalry concerning Rice and McDonnell that no points had been voted down on either side. However, after visiting today I noticed my points had been voted down and checked Rob's last login date. I won't make any other comments on that page to vote up or down in order to keep it balanced if you wish. I just thought it extremely petty of him to do so without even offering a comment or view. I know there is no way for you to control this. I was just bringing it to your attention.

Note to self: You need to send an email notification and or create a JB notification when a friend request is initiated and possibly send an email notification the user when it's accepted.

" When you get a chance TNinfidel please take a look at rivalry comments. I have made several tweaks to the way they appear. (Make sure you're logged in) Feedback would be greatly appreciated. "

It is a little easier to keep up with but I'd consider not necessarily trying to line them up with their respective sides. The color coding is enough.

I also noticed that in the replies it doesn't indicate which side the one who is replying is on.

" You'll have to show me where this is done on facebook because from the best of my knowledge none of their comments go further than one nesting. I would eventually like to allow users to bury comments(hide them when they're voted down or hide them entirely if the number of negative votes grows to a certain number. Digg does this very well.) I will definitely look into this further and do pass on any further thoughts on it. "

Yep, I was wrong about Facebook. I was thinking about something else apparently. Hard to follow a conversation there sometimes.

"Ryan Kazinec wrote on 3/19/12 [delete]
Threading comments is a tricky item as when you're dealing with three sides of discussion potentially on every rivalry it will get extremely clustered if I allow build a feature that threads them out further. What I might be able to do is allow you to reply to any comment but they will stay nested as is with a parent comment. However, possibly the specific replies could have a support short exceprt of the comment being replied to and lead with a @johndoe. However, that too might get too clustered.

I'll tinker with it after I shore up the registrations. The initial email issue must have been due to our site not having an SSL certificate at the time."

Maybe make the comments collapsible and each side be color coded. Looks like they are already color coded, Oops. What I have in mind can be seen on Intense Debate, Disqus, and to some extent, Facebook.

I've had no problems receiving notifications since you fixed the problem.

On a different issue, you may want to consider threading the comments and making it possible to reply to each comment as well. It would make following the discussion much easier.

Be assured I will use my fake accounts for good and not evil. LOL

At least I am not using them to manipulate the winning side of the rivalry as our fruity little friend here is. ;)

Perhaps you should also make it possible for users to delete their accounts?

With the ability for anyone to so easily open fake accounts it makes the rivalries easily manipulated and can seem quite pointless to many to even bother with it.

I can still create fake accounts using bogus email addresses. I'd suggest using at least a verification system where a link would have to clicked on in an email sent from JB to validate the account. Unique user names should be enabled too as I can make as many "Rick" accounts as I wish currently.

You had to know, being a Kazinec, that your "erecting a massive tower" comment would be to hard to resist. ;)

Hope I didn't cause you too much trouble Ryan. Just having a little fun while pointing out trouble spots. ;)

LOL @ Rick :D

Assuming something works is not a good concept. That's why we test my friends.

Ryan, what I mean is that someone went through several of the debates, some which I know this person didn't even have a response or argument and down scored simply out of spite. I just thought it was petty. No big deal. Don't worry about it.

Hey. Just out of curiousity why am I not listed as one of this week's top debaters? I think there's something hinky there. I believe someone is deliberately lowering my votes even when I take a neutral stance on subjects. Not going to say who I think it is, but that's a bit petty. Didn't know if that was it or just a glitch.

That's fine. No worry. Why were you putting up a cell tower? Is the coverage out there at your house that bad?

I have thought long and hard about this, I really think you should have a third choice, "I don't care" or "Not of interest" or "Neutral". I do believe this would get many to at least give an answer. Many of the rivalries that are listed now, I have no interest in, but would at least post to them.

we rikkSay something...

NOTE TO SELF: Need to strip slashes from notifications on output.

NOTE TO SELF. Need to filter out deleted comments from showing up in activity stream. Second Note: You are the man!

Sorry, I see you popped him out of here.

kilove is a spammer. I'm sure everyone else got it too.

Note to self: When a user has comment moderation on add a note to the commenting user letting them know their comment has been added but is awaiting approval for posting.

hahaha dennis gave you a stamp.

Long time friend! I see your site is booming from when we would stand in Wal-mart you telling all about your ideas for this site. GREAT JOB MAN!!!!!

Your recent activity tab should have a time stamp now.

oh la la

Sure thing. lol. I am having shirts professionally made if you'd like one.

Ryan, before you leave Greg's route, make sure that you allow me to promote this site with a t-shirt. The one that is identical to yours.

Ryan, I finally made it on. It's been how long since I last signed up? LOL...

lol, I'll have to look for it. It changes ads frequently so I'm not seeing what you saw.

you know this ad on your page scared the shit out of me the first time i saw it. i thought it was crystal. kinda looks like her, but crystal is a million time prettier :]

dude just cause i dont walk around "fabulous" doesnt me im not comfortable with my sexuality.

well my last comment somehow got lost in cyber space. anywyas i just wanted to say CONGRATS! that date arrived! its looking great. and sorry about not being able to see you all while i was in town. i actually had a lot less free time then i though i would. and i wanted to spend as much time with greg and his family while i was there. anyways i OWE you guys when i come back. Ill see you soon and keep up the good work!!!

oh yea an p.s. where can i get a shirt like the one your wearing?! lol i want one

"I never would have thought that I could get into contemporary but Mia has made it happen. As sad as it sounds I actually look forward to all of the dances she choreographs." Dude, no....

The finished product is even cuter than what i saw yesterday...I love it..I put in on my myspace..lol

yes that works lol thank you and i am sorry for all the trouble

Ryan
hey the profile you deleted for clay was the one that would let me log in the one that is showing says the password is incorrect. I tried to send it to his email but it never showed up so i don't know what happend that was why i made another one for him.

hey thanks ryan i don't know what i was doing the only reason i made two was because the password i entered for reason wouldn't let me log in i don't know if i just couldn't remember my password or not but everything is working fine now. thank you for helping. i hope you and crystal had a good 4th.

ryan your the best! keep up the good work. site keeps getting better and better everyday! :]

Test you to buddy

ok im glad you guys have gotton this far on this website im sure you all are very excited. Yeah my picture looks funny. lol I thought I was doing something wrong because my picture is so much bigger then everyone elses.

hey okay ive got a question thats been bothering me since you started the site. did they model the one cartoon looking guy after you? the one on the right? i swear he look like you just with hair! lol :]

okay so i just though about something..is there a way that when someone replies to a comment you made on a rivalry that you can be sent like a message or something? its not a big deal but i didnt see the comment you left about the t-9 until this morning cause i didnt know you left it. :] site is still awesome!!

hey ryan! im so excited about the site going public! theres nothing that i can think of right now that would make it any better. things are going and looking wonderful!!

FRIENDLY ADVICE FOR YOUR SITUATION
;
Myspace Layouts;

damn you ryan! now im getting the gay ads cause you mentioned it! lol

yea i just noticed the arrows. your doing a great job! i love the site! its only going to get better!

hey im liking the new pictures on the side of the rivalries. oh yea im and LOVING the gay ads!! lol

HaHa Johnny.

Gay gay gay!!! Sorry saw dennis comments and couldnt help my self.

But I don't want to sign up for lesbian singles...or do I?

yeah artillery is kind of a sledge hammer.

haha your movies say chick flicks.

Now I have a naughty or nice ad, but I must say, they blonde looks like she might be hiding something, if you know what I'm saying.

GayLatinoDating.com lol

One other thing to look into Dennis. Try typing something into my shoutbox and then before posting it click within the shoutbox with your mouse. The text already written disappears. I'm not sure if it's designed that way but that could get annoying for those who would like to copy and paste html.

I see what you mean about the funky comment shnitzel.

BTW your gay ads are sweet. Every time I say the word GAY you will see more GAY ads FYI. So keep saying GAY in your comments and you'll get even more gay ads. lol

Thank You Charlie.

And here I am...very nice work!

Dennis, The GAY ads are back, what is the deal? Are you trying to tell me something?

Ryan, looks like Dennis changed your ads. I liked the one from before, that was funny.

Hey, I love this. How exciting!!

Thanks Dennis... HaHa.

Maybe it's because you watch Ellen.

I'd love to know why I have gay ad's on my profile.

Dennis, You are the man, looks great, html works. We may need to consider a preview page so people can make sure the html code there using looks right and the can make sure there is typographical errors as well.

Hey boss

Let's see how this works...
