MVC's, the ones we missed


Recommended Posts

I post in no more than 10 sub-forums, but I don't know why we're on this anyway, I'm not that fussed :D

Heh, I know it's no big deal but I like making sense of things :p

But yeah, take the case that you post in 10 subforums: Evenly spread out, your posts would be 10% in each... So it makes sense that if one is more (such as 13%) then all the others go down and therefore that 13% is the majority.

That's weird, I was just reading threads in the Hardware Hangout, and thinking to myself that chconline would be deserving for this award as he does help a lot in there. And now he has. :laugh:

Haha :p

glad for chconline :)
Yup, he is definitely a great guy (Y)

Sure is. ;) :p Thanks buddy lol

Congratulations to all the new MVC's, especially gwai lo and chconline who have helped me when it matters most (Y) !

Scirwode

He's been notified of MVC status one way or the othe(Y)Y)

Radish?

Thats cool, just looked at his profile and wondered you know when they aren't around you always wonder if something bad has happe:ermm:rmm:

Should we be worried Gwai lo hasn't been on the forum since September!

So Gwai Lo is a ghost man?

Thats cool, just looked at his profile and wondered you know when they aren't around you always wonder if something bad has happened :ermm:

Something bad like a girlfriend probably did happen.

rofl, I got the emails and it was "o_0, what's this?"

How random, who would've though I'd get chosen for something like this. Thanks guys, yeah I haven't been around much, school totally ruins my life -_-. Yay for engineering? I haven't got to post or read much hardware news at all =/

How interesting that I would be recommended for something like this, seeing as I haven't been around for a few months. Thanks again guys, now that I'm on break I should be posting a bit more. My next semester looks simpler too, so hopefully I get more free time as well.

Oh, and Fred..a girlfriend did happen haha. Girlfriend + engineering = free time? no wai

Glad to see you around!

I noticed you weren't around and thought but congrats man (Y) I know how school and college stuff can really take your time!

Ah well, seeing as a few people think my posts are more unreputable than someone who primarily posts in a more specific-topic sub-forum (as the (small) majority of mine are in General Discussion (well, posting funnies in the Jokes & Funny Stuff sub-forum specifically (and I very rarely even reply to threads in there))), I have decided to stop posting jokes in the Jokes & Funny Stuff sub-forum.

I will focus on the Gamers' Hangout from now on :)

If this is about qualifying for the next round of MVCs, I would point out that I do not know of anyone who studied the most active forum data of the nominees. I'm sure at least one of our current MVCs were most inactive in a non-tech forum.

My rant wasn't really a rant. I honestly don't mind about the MVC thing at all, but I am little worried about my credability to most members. I like to think I have helped people (and I have certainly been helped countless times!) and I don't want my words tainted by members who bring up the fact I have most frequently posted (by a small amount) in the General Discussion forum.

That makes absolutely no sense at all.

Obviously there must be a reason as to why you posted in those sections to begin with. To stop posting in them now just to try and get a badge makes no sense. :huh:

Edit: I see you just posted saying it has nothing to do with the MVC group, but if it never existed you wouldn't even think twice about posting differently...

...and I don't want my words tainted by members who bring up the fact I have most frequently posted (by a small amount) in the General Discussion forum.

I just wanted to point out that I do not think it should be a problem.

Just think of yourself as a Renaissance Man.

No, I've said multiple times, I don't care about the badge.

It's just I know myself I rarely reply to topics in the General Discussion forum, yet 13% (the majority in this case) of my posts are in there and I want to shift away from that. I have more to offer in specific topic-related forums, and I do offer that as much as I can, and I feel it's overshadowed by the 13% majority in the General Discussion forum (which, to me, isn't as credible as a majority in some other sub-forums) if that makes sense.

I'm extremely confused right now, my immediate reaction is; So what if a big chunk of your posts are in General Discussion. Wanna provide some assistance & help in the Hardware section or Games section, then go ahead, why all this fuss about percentages? It's like caring about your post-count :s

Please slap me if i completely missed the point.

I think you get the point completely but now I am disappointed that I don't get to slap you. :cry:

Well it's the old-age thing of "he doesn't have many posts, I'd rather truth the advice of the other guy, he has a lot more".

Whilst that is daft, people still believe it and I am worried people will not take any advice I give seriously due to my apparent higher activity in the General Discussion forum (which is on similar lines to the above).

You are kidding me, right?

I've been here for some time ( Long than one would think :ninja: ), I have never looked at a members 'section-dedication' if they gave me advice/help. I haven't even heard of anyone turning down help, because the member had more posts in another section, It's absurd.

If you see someone with a problem you can solve, post the solution and the guy will probably be thankful ;)

    • There is a default resolution setting in Settings > Display that can be changed with a click. You can also change the settings on a per-game basis. No CLI needed. Also, Steam has countless games that are not "[perpetual] alpha/beta games", so no need for the straw man. Plus you can use other stores as well. And console games (e.g. PS5) cost a fortune, which itself more than negates the price subsidy on the system, unless you plan on exclusively playing 1 or 2 games. It's true that you shouldn't buy a system that doesn't support the game(s) you want to play, but I think that's kinda obvious, and applies to every console as well as PC. I don't game in the living room and have no need of a Steam Machine, but there is a clear market segment that would find it useful.

RSS Guard 5.2.0 changelog: Added: Feed auto-fetch can now also be delayed while Feral GameMode is active on Linux and startup auto-fetch is skipped when GameMode is already active. (#2265) WebEngine builds can now use RSS Guard generated proxy auto-config (PAC) rules so article/web browsing follows per-account and per-feed proxy settings more closely. (#2273) Generated PAC rules now also cover related subdomains and use Public Suffix List data, so feeds such as feeds.bbc.co.uk can also proxy resources from images.bbc.co.uk. (#2273) Standard feeds can now define extra proxy domains, useful when article images, stylesheets or other page resources are loaded from a CDN or another domain that should use the same feed proxy. (#2273) RSS Guard now asks for proxy credentials when a WebEngine page needs proxy authentication and can fill credentials from the current feed proxy when available. (#2273) Network settings again include an option to ignore all cookies, which clears stored cookies and prevents new cookies from being accepted. Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now individually ignore cookies while downloading feed data. Stored cookies can now be deleted from the Tools menu. Custom skin colors can now override the feed list article count color separately from feed titles, including a separate highlighted color. (#2275) Settings dialog can now search across available settings and highlight matching controls. (#1754) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now optionally be reported as broken when they are valid but contain no articles. (#2039) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now override the application-wide feed connection timeout per feed. (#1023) Tray icon can now use a custom background color and unread-count text color, with an option to reuse the generated icon as the application icon. (#1973) Support for more benevolent parsing of Gemlog entries (#2295). Article list can now show when an article was received by RSS Guard. (#947) Feed deep discovery now actually scrapes all links found in the website and checks if they are feeds or not. This greatly enhances usability of the deep discovery mode and discovers many more feeds than before. (#2306) Search boxes now show a small dot when the feed or article list is hiding some items because of active filtering. (#873) Articles now have a shortcut-assignable action to open the homepage of the feed they belong to. (#2060) Fixed: Parallel feed updates no longer crash when multiple update results are processed at the same time. (64cf521) Links in WebEngine articles opened from feeds such as Kill the Newsletter now open correctly instead of being swallowed by the embedded page. (#2272) Relative article URLs resolution was kinda broken. (#2282) Clicking article URL did not work when the URL had "fragment" set. (#2293) The default proxy setting now uses Qt/system default proxy behavior instead of forcing no proxy. (e0263ad) WebEngine article loading now keeps the current feed context, so feed-specific proxy credentials remain available while the article page loads.
