The forums has increasingly been easier to navigate and find information easier, and what I am about to suggest will continue this gradual progression.

Before I continue, however, I would like to point out that by making this suggestion, it would imply that I did not find the tool readily available. If the tool does exist, please notify me.

Viewing someone's posts is incredibly useful for finding information regarding that specific person. For example, if I were to leave "Damen's Games" for a while, I would be able to click on Damen and view his posts in order to see what the most recent official news is. If I were to miss out on more personal information that maybe a news reporter or a friend may post, I could click their name and view their posts instead of taking up their time by asking through mail.

What I said above is an important influence on my suggestion: We should be able to view a person's discussions. This does not mean I am suggesting to see the discussion that a user has posted on for every post they make. Instead, I am suggesting that we should be able to differentiate between a user's post and a user's created discussion.

To get a better understanding of what I am getting at, I will use Damen as an example. If you were in the same circumstance described earlier when you were absent from Damen's Games for a while and you need to see what has happened, you would want to view Damen's posts. However, Damen is a busy man and responds to many discussions/posts daily. Some of the posts he makes can be useful, but the real goal is to see any important announcements he has made through his discussions. You can never really know what is a post and what is a discussion unless you click the title of the discussion they posted on or by judging what the post is yourself. On both of these occasions, it becomes a very tedious task.

The idea sounds good, but how exactly can we put it into effect? There are many possible solutions to this problem. One is to color code them so that you can find the difference. Another option is to simply label them "Discussion" or "Post", possibly even shortening it to "D" or "P". Many more options are possible, but these are just to list a few.

Please comment if you feel that there are alternate choices instead of this idea.

That's all.

Brayden + Damen = BraydenDamen

Your ability for advanced math equations and production of originality is simply amazing.

For anyone that cares, I'll be gone for approximately a week so I can study for midterms. I will not be online at anytime during this period.

I honestly never thought I would be posting on this category, but again it's only for a week or so.

For those of you who aren't in high school yet or it's your first year, midterms are not something you can study in just one night. For my school, the midterms last for three days, with 60 minute breaks so you can study in between. For AP or Honor courses, the tests are usually much longer and much more difficult.

However, this is not to educate you on how midterms work. I can assure you that the longest I will be offline is until December 21st, the day after my midterms are over. I didn't think a discussion was necessary for this, but I did one anyways.

That's all.

what is OldCP.biz ? I thought one of the rules was no advertising?

I don't mean to be offensive about what I'm about to say, but please do your homework before turning it in. OldCP.biz was the source of OldCP, and so it is not considered advertising as it is one of many of Damen's domains.

This is just to help clear things up for those who were too lazy to look through the announcements and see the "Final OldCP Game Announcement" discussion: OldCP is down forever.

The reason for it being down forever was because of a "DCMA appeal" by Disney, DCMA being the Defense Contract Management Agency. It is possible that Damen actually meant the DMCA, or the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, but the main thing is that the game is shut down because of this, and it will no longer be brought back up.

Please do not try to protest against OldCP being down, because it won't be back up.

On a similar note, please do not get angry at Penguin Chat 4. The reason for it having no clothes, money, etc. that Club Penguin did is because it is not Club Penguin. OldCP was a remake of Club Penguin, and because of the appeal, it will no longer be up. Penguin Chat 4 is based on Penguin Chat, NOT Club Penguin. Because of that little fact, Damen made the game for users to play a game as close to OldCP as possible.

Also, do not feel that Penguin Chat is all you're getting from Damen. The game PenguinIsles is being made and hopefully released to the public by New Year's.

If you have any questions, feel free to mail me or comment below.

This has been mentioned at one point...

I believe that something should be done for it being mentioned this many times:

I'm not sure... I just can't get hooked on these stories for some reason. In my opinion, you should add more mystery and suspense. I like the comedy, though, keep that part in. And a couple parts about food wouldn't hurt....

I know your criticizing his work so he can improve it, but at least see through some of the flaws and enjoy a fifteen-year-old's work as it is.

This would be useful, Secret Researcher. If you could find the ratio of you know...



But what would the calculator job be? If I have 800 posts and 22 rep, would it be 800 / 22? (eight hundred divided by twenty two?)

22/800, which would be 0.0275 in the calculator. This would then be estimated as 3%. It isn't really necessary to explain the math in this discussion, but I'll add it anyways.

I was wondering if we could have an addition to our user that showed us our Reputation/Posts Ratio. This means obviously that there should be the amount of reputation you get over the amount of posts you make.

I'll use myself as an example. I currently have 85 reputation and 98 posts as of the time this discussion was made. That is calculated as approximately 87% of my posts getting likes, or .87 likes for each of my posts.

I would like to say that the main reason for me wanting this to happen is so that people can see how meaningful the user's posts usually are. If someone made 956 posts and got 22 reputation, that's approximately 2% of their posts getting likes, probably indicating that the user worries too much on the quantity of posts and not the quality.

Now, I know some people may become offended for this feature because they believe it won't be accurate in describing the quality of their posts. For instance, many people are posting that they have reached up to 100 reputation and almost up to 400 posts (which is the required amount to become master), and without needing to use a calculator, you can see that only 25% of their posts are being liked. That means the rank of a master could only have a quarter of their posts even noticed. With that being said, you could suggest that as long as your ratio is greater than or equal to 25%, you'll be fine.

I also thought that it would be nice to have a similar feature that reputation does, describing if you're doing good, very good, etc. However, this is a very minor suggestion and is not the main focus of this discussion, so it won't be necessary.

For the math, it is simply reputation/posts. As an example from the comments, 22 likes and 800 posts would be 22/800, or .0275. This would then be rounded up to .03, or 3%.

That's all.

If you haven't bought that antivirus, then it's most likely an advertisement.

You know, one thing I've noticed is that I somehow always get into your discussions.

This made me cry :'(

Hello Damen and users, I am applying for OldCP Moderator!

Why did you say you were quitting the game/forums and apply for mod 30 minutes later?

I like how you gave a short character description and synopsis of last chapter to remind us, I believe it's very helpful. So much time has passed in this chapter, and every sentence matters. Can't wait to see what events will happen in next chapter.

I would like to apply for a chance to become a moderator on the forums.

I must first admit that I have no experience of being a moderator despite a short while in the OldCP xat chat. The reason for my lack of being a moderator most of the time was that I simply did not apply or I did not make it to any events that could make me a moderator.

Now, I believe that I should be a moderator because I am active on the forums - my change of avatar once everyday should be a good example of this. I also do not flame other users with dislikes, nor have I ever gone against any of the OldCP rules and regulations.

If you look at my amount of posts, you will see that it is a very few amount compared to others. This is because I intend to make a majority of my posts filled with purpose and with careful thought before posting anything.
I also attempt to stay active in other ways in the forums, not just by posting. I usually check the Albums daily and I also mail other users when I feel that the topic I would speak with them would be personal and not meant to be put into a regular discussion.

That's all.
