I see where you're coming from mate.... I think?
That's going to be a lot of work going through each line in each post and documenting which lines subsequent events can be linked back to.
It also is likely to get very disjointed and difficult to trace all happenings back to a given post, if not indexed in the correct way.
Additionally, if every posted happening for a Q post includes the original post it will chew up a lot of thread space quickly.
Can I suggest that the new thread index includes a dozen or so posts that just contain url links for posts in format INDEX Q1, INDEX Q2, ... INDEX
Q4953 (I can generate these for you if needs be). Then when anyone posts a "proof" of happenings against a post they just have to give it a heading of
, for example "INDEX Q2".
This way you would only need to search "-@TH3WH17ERABB17- INDEX Q2" To get results of the original post and any posts containing proofs against it?
The other feedback I'd give is that this exercise shouldn't rely just on a dozen (or less) members actively helping to document happenings vs. posts.
That road will end up with max 20% of posts being documented. You'ld get better results asking for proofs on posts 1 to 100 on day 1, 101 to 200 on
day 2 etc.
One other possibility is to just post Q Proof graphics. For example, I could post a half dozen Q proof graphics that include Q1 in them in one post
and people reply with any other graphics they have for that post. Even this option though would take time... for me, it would mean looking through 35
archives zipfiles of Q proof graphics 4000+ times.
I guess what I'm saying is... Do you want us to generate a systematic catalogue of proofs for post 1 through 4953, or do you just want people to post
only dumps of any graphics they have that contain Q proofs. Is pt36 to be a Proofs only thread? Or ongoing events posting with intermingled Q proofs?
If the former then it might be better to ask MODS if we can have a Q PROOFS GRAPHICS thread running alongside this day to day events thread?
What the Q World is missing is a database of graphics which is searchable by post number! I wonder if the new owners would allow us to host one on
ATS? It would certainly bring them a lot more footfall.
I'm confused with the complexities already... need some zeds.
