It took forever, but I think I'm finally happy to say that the Disktonary is upgraded to v3.0!

Here are the new sections created throughout this update:
  • Things You Should Know (Sec1)
  • The State of the Forum (Sec2)
  • User Birthday Guide (Sec8)
  • Timeline of the Forum (Sec9)
  • Hall of Notable Users (Sec0)

Notable Updates:
  • Grammar errors (some existing since the beginning of the Disktionary) have been fixed.
  • Copy+paste errors appear to be fixed.
  • The Table of Contents has a new style.
  • The Ctrl. + F search feature works properly again.
  • Some sections have a newer style.
  • The titles to sections are slightly easier to spot due to asterisks (*).
  • Over 30 users have been added to the User Directory.
  • Tons of new and updated entries throughout the Disktionary.

Every section has been updated.

Things that still need to be included:
  • Cell phone numbers to the User Directory.
  • Fixing a few deleted segments to entries in the User Directory (I've decided to keep all available segments intact).
  • Adding a few more events to the Timeline, like when certain users received their admin/mod abilities.

I'd like it if some of you could read over the entire Disktionary to spot any errors that I've missed. I would also like you all to throw any suggestions about this thing to me. We're getting to the point where there's not as much simple stuff for me to add.


I want to make one section in particular known: The Hall of Notable Users (originally called the Wall of Stuff). Here is what is mentioned in the section itself:
Hall of Notable Users wrote:
NOTES:
  • This section is made up of many of the most notable users.
  • A user may get onto this list by being nominated, seconded, and voted for the most in a monthly poll set up for this.
  • Eight users can be nominated each month; the three (or more, in case of ties) users with the most votes will be added.
  • The users that are nominated can be anybody: regular users, users that are no longer active, users that have retired, banned users, etc. Look over the Disktionary for help with your nominations.
  • Users are only able to nominate and second two users a month (they can nominate two users, and second two users). They are not allowed to second their own nominations.
  • DO NOT TURN THIS INTO A DRAMA-FEST!
  • Please notify me if you need more help with this.
In a nutshell, users may nominate two users and second two different users to be added to this section every month. Once we hit eight people that are fully nominated, I will create a poll that'll last in this thread for the remainder of the month. You'll be able to vote for two of the eight people chosen, and at the end of the month, the three users with the most votes (or more if there's a tie) will be added to this section. However, there's a couple things that I'd like some input about:

  • Do you think that I should include all of the admins/mods/Alberto up front (the way it currently is)? While they've all contributed to the Forum greatly, it reduces the amount of users to choose from each month, and it really does flood the list.
  • Do you all think that I should change the numbers for this (2 nominations, 2 seconds, 8 nominees altogether, 3 winners a month)?

You all have around a week to figure that out, since the first month of nominations will begin on June 1st.


Thank you all for keeping up with the Disktionary; I promise to keep updating this with the information provided to me.

You left Shwoo out of the mods list in the Hall o' Notable Users.

3 winners a month seems like a lot.

I mean, what if this goes for a year? We'll have 36 notable users. That's way too many.

Well, if I took off all of the admins and mods from the list, then that number could be a little better.

This could also be bi-monthly, as well. Or even tri-monthly. Heck, it doesn't matter to me. :P

Big revisions will soon be coming to this. I've realized that some things need to be changed around for more accurate data and such.

Several things:
  • How should I make the layout so that it is easier to spot and read entries? I am also thinking of changing around the first post's layout a tiny bit more.
  • I need people to submit advice for the "Things You Should Know" section. I already have one person's that I need to add, but I'll still need more.
  • Notable events from the last week or two for the timeline. I haven't really been keeping up.
  • Cell phone numbers and your service.
  • DON'T DO ANYTHING WITH THE HALL OF USERS. I need to somehow change it, because I really don't think that it'll work out in its current form (god I hate how much I've changed this section).
  • Anything else you can think of.

Don't come off spouting memes. While they may be funny at first, all they'll end up resulting in is crappiness.

Add the rest of this week (when it's over) as "The Week Random Thoughts Stood Still" or something.

The Dress is the name of an image that Ramrod posted back in 2005 of him in a dress. It was made as part of a bet by ThatCinnamonRolls (I think that was the user, anybody want to correct me?).

ThatCinnamonThing. That's it.

I think that his first account was ThatCinnamonRolls. Any mods have the ability to check that (unless he changed his username when that was still possible)?

Okay guys, being the idiot that I am, I never saved my Disktionary 3.5 Timeline plan from awhile ago. I need every major thing to happen from the last month, whether it was an awesome series of posts, a relatively large event, etc.

Hey I like that. Maybe we can get Keanu Reeves to star in the film adaptation!

For me it's "The Rainbow Morning". Don't discriminate against different timezones. :p

This is, like, "the day of psychedelic happiness and love", that's an alright name, right... man?

Oh I forgot... you can't talk back to me until I hit the post button, man, that's so weird....
