We need an icq faq page!!!!!!!!!

[connorkimbro]

I suggested this a few months ago and was shot down!

Danq: grrr, no icq list!! no no no!!

that's basically the response i got.

But i'll overlook that, and i'll manage the list if you want. I offered to before, but i'll offer again.

"In a couple of months I'm hoping to have more time for the faq, and I was planning to expand it, with icq numbers just being part of it... "

Narck: no offence, but you've said you'd make x FAQ and y FAQ several different times, and it hasn't happened yet. if you want to do it, then DO IT, but don't make promises. Don't worry, you're precious title won't be taken away, you'll still get to be apolyton helper or whatever. i just want the icq list is all. . doesn't matter who does it as long as SOMEone does.

Follow the Nike Ad. Just do it. (Better to ask for forgiveness than permission.) Here, I'll help you.

btw, that comment about my title was uncalled for. They can take it away today and I won't care.


Anyway, if desired I could add ICQ numbers to the age faq now (as in: within a couple of days, good enough?) since that's not a lot of work at all...

Personally, I don't think we need a separate ICQ faq since all the names are already in the age FAQ, and in order. It would just be a small addition..

So, whatever, I don't mind adding the icq numbers now... Since it's not a lot of work... what I was thinking of a couple of months ago takes a lot of work and I don't have time for that right now for at least another 4 months ... but if ppl want an icq list, that's not a lot of work, so I could do that right now.

Ming: Who wants to add people they have never heard of to their contact list?

I think many people are missing one of the main points about the ICQ FAQ. You could just go down a popluar forum, and add everyone on it to your contact list, but you wouldn't know who wants to be added from that. Whereas, if there was an Apolyton ICQ FAQ, then only people who want other apolytoners on their list would post; which would allow people to expand their ICQ contact list WITHOUT all of the hassle that would otherwise be prevaliant.

If an ICQ FAQ is ever set up, then I vonenteer to assist whoever winds up running it (I'd also be willing to run it, if no one else steps forward and takes the responsiblity (Narck)).

Narck: it's just that whenever the idea for an FAQ comes up you're like "oh me me me me!" and then you never do it. the geography one is the only other one i can think of right now, but that has been more than once, and i think there were others too. And so far, the only one you've done is the Age one. I have no problem with you doing it, as long as it get's DONE, unlike the other ones, that's all. Don't say you can/will do it if you've got other things going on, see what i mean?

This is me mostly thinking out loud: I use some pretty complex Excel spreadsheets to sort and perform calculations on data at work. I should think that you could create a webpage with a form that dumps info into an Excel macro that sorts by user name, age, ICQ ect. If it were set up as a form and a macro it would maintain itself.

and the People said, "Uh huh, okay bright boy so how would you do it and are you volunteering?

Hey, I'm more of an "idea" man... Al Gore and I are too busy reinventing the internet to help right now!

If you don't want people to add you, why don't you just leave the field blank? I'm sure everyone who has posted their ICQ number in their profile want other people to message them.

connorkimbro:

Yes, I know, but the issue has been raised once again demonstrating that it does appear to have sufficient support to give the proposal another shot.

So, here we go...
