Im trying to set up a BYOND top 100 website that will handle a system where programmers can submit their game and then their players can vote for them, like many topsites on the internet. I was wondering how you would use topics in the cgi library? I would like to do something like this: www.blahblah.com/index.dmb?register
is it possible to do this? If so, how?

I got part of it done already. The layout currently sucks(ill redo it to look real nice later). It should be up later tonite. | |

The reason I need to is to make it so people can vote for a site. So I could do something like this : www.ebonshadow.byond.com/Byond100/vote.dmb?fireking or something like that. I cant figure out how to do that though, and I would really appreciate it if somebody would tell me. I got it so you can submit your site ect. and it will save all the info. I got another CGI prog to display the results, but theres no way to vote for any site yet. | |

I would like to do something like this: www.blahblah.com/index.dmb?registerOk, I figured this much out, you can do www.blahblah.com/index.dmb?type=/Form/register But how would you do something like to where you could vote for a specific person. I need a way to do something like this www.blahblah.com/vote.dmb?id=fireking or something like that. Ill prolly figure it out in about 10 minutes but if you already know could you tell me? | |

I also I have to redo the layout though because it sucks real bad right now. No graphics or anything. Hehe. | |
or something like that. Ill prolly figure it out in about 10 minutes but if you already know could you tell me?Yep nm, I figured it out. Now i just need to get it to display the ranks in order. | |
Ok, Ive got it just about ready, but I need help with making it so you can only vote once every 24 hours. So far nobody as replied to any of my questions so I expect help this time ;). I need help with cookies. Could somebody explain to me why this doesn't work?
if(usr.client.CGI.cookies["Voted"]=="1") o = "You may only vote once every 24 hours." goto skip usr.client.CGI.SetCookie("Voted","1",10*60*60*24) it seems to ignore the cookie everytime I test it. | |

actually, that would be really cool if byond made this on their site and it would add alot to the whole community and gaming experience, Actually, I dislike toplists, because then they pressure people to vote and do various nasty things if they don't. But whatever strikes your fancy... | |

Hmm, ok. Whatever you say. Anyway, I got the new layout almost done, I got a guy making the banner for it right now.actually, that would be really cool if byond made this on their site and it would add alot to the whole community and gaming experience, http://www.ebonshadow.byond.com/Byond100/BYOND.dmb tell me what you think. | |

I was just stating an opinion... ;-) (You wouldn't find anything of mine in there, though, unless someone else put it there.) | |

yeah I know, I just dont agree with your oppinion ;). It is possible to use toplists without pressuring people. For instance, you could put it in your game somewhere, and have to reward the person somehow everytime they vote for your game. This way, your not pressuring them, and your getting your game a little more publicity. Im going to be getting a domain name for byond 100 and im gonna get it on the search engines, ect. I fixed some more things on it just now too. However, theres only like 8 people signed up on it. Im gonna go make it so the games can be categorized and have a screen shot in their info. BTW, the new url is http://www.ebonshadow.byond.com/Byond100Actually, I dislike toplists, because then they pressure people to vote and do various nasty things if they don't. | |
Actually, I dislike toplists, because then they pressure people to vote and do various nasty things if they don't. The bad: what Spuds said. Generally, the higher a site is in a list like this, the less eager I am to see it, because it's probably jam-packed with gimmicky links (e.g., the mysterious "Click Here!" link on the EW site that casts a BYOND 100 vote). Try looking for free clip art on the Internet some time... you will soon find yourself in a hell of top 100 lists, all of which point to each other and none of which actually offers clip art. Or as the old saying goes, "You are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike." The good: The BYOND 100 and EW sites both look good! And if BYOND gets big enough that there are a ton of top 100 lists out there all pointing to each other, well, that'll be a great day! | |

Or as the old saying goes, "You are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike." yeah but BYOND will always be on the top of the list.. and oh yeah if you go looking for things like that try it from the bottom up if the top ones link to each other! really! i went looking for playstation ROMs and the entire top 50 on each list never had a single ROM in them.. they just did the for ROMs click here(witch cast your vote adn took you back to another list..) but when i started at the bottom i got to the non trick sites with shitloads of roms(the ones that go on the list for being good sites and not a cheap trick to get banner add exposure) also i think BYOND should have a web page list(not just the games list) that has every site registered with games on them (to be a safe haven from the CLICK HERE! gimics) but everyone knows that Jobe Net is going to hold the top spot for all time as soon as Jobe gets a damned server(i have a setup for a web page that has news[not just about my shit but about EVERYTHING] dayly and tons of features.. Jobe Net is going to be in the running with GameSpy as soon as i get a server.. i have every URL for gameing BOTs and bot news along with just about every other game out there... you can get all your Gameing News at Jobe Net(note byond is not yet a part of Jobe net due to the fact it is not ready to go public yet. also note that Jobe Net is not sencored whatsoever but adult areas [games rated M or AD] will be clearly marked and all responsiblity it placed on the viewer of that page. Jobe Net can not be held responsible for ANYTHING even if we download your hard drive and then format it from a remote location [only in selected areas marked DO NOT CLICK HERE!!!]. also note that any claim of Jobe Net is void unless it is disclaiming any other claim. this last sentance is an example of a non void claim of disclaimer.]) | |
