In the overall history of things, doesn't Slackertalk just represent the boards going full circle?

Posted by Jason Dean Nov 4 '08, 16:11

Ticker Talk came from the old Money message boards and moved to HSX hosting when HSX hired the Money webmaster (Gary Burke).

Or at least something like that. My memory could be suspect given that those events happened over a decade ago.

So from community run board to HSX run to back to community run

Wow, I didn't know that. Good stuff. -- nm - Votin' Vermin Nov 4, 16:20
Your memory is accurate. -- nm - Mop Nov 4, 16:13
except with a completely new and custom codebase ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 16:12 11
- Well, yeah (and much overdue thanks for the all the work). I think Gary's codebase was custom back in the day as well - Jason Dean Nov 4, 16:15
- But how are we supposed to get Cappie awards if we don't know how many responses there are? -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 16:13 9
  - When I create the stats interface, it can dynamically award that honor. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 16:14 8
    - Well, that's just damn fucking awesome. Which are the awards again? -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 16:18 2
      - The twiki just has the cappie and the spammy, I think. -- nm - mara Nov 4, 16:19 1
        
        we also created the Havens for dragging a topic onto a new board (though I think it shoudl be a Guy). -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 16:25
    - You can't give out an award without accounting for intangiles, like scrapiness. (nm) - musubi voted Nov 4, 16:18 4
      - *shrug* it's just an idea. Something to make it a bit more fun. There'll also be the counter everyone wants, of course. :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 16:20 1
        
        No new counters! - musubi voted Nov 4, 16:22
      - He can do what he wants. It's his board. If you don't like it, you can go back to TT -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 16:18 1
        
        Stop oppressing me! Violation of my first amendment rights! (nm) - musubi voted Nov 4, 16:20
