Top Sites/links

Red Squirrel · Post by **Red Squirrel** » Mon Feb 03, 2003 1:22 am

Just an update, mostly for the ones who were on our top sites, that I'm working on it now, and it will be here:

So you can check it out once in a while to see the progress. Right now we got the links to show up (none of them are valid in the datebase, but it all shows up what it's suppost to). I still need to get the ranking to work. I'm thinking of making it original and have a vote automaticly bump the site on top (so the more often you vote, the more on top it stays) and it will be based on a point system where you can "buy" things with certain points, so let's say a site has 1000 points they can email me to get 100 ad impressions in our banner rotation script, for example. Also, "vote 4 us" buttons will be configurable to link directly to the home page (which would give 2 points) or to the top sites, which would give 1 point.

That's basicly how it will work, but I'm not 100% sure though.

Sweet! I got the ranking system to finally work. I had some trouble, but finally got it going. This is different from other top site lists - does not matter where you are, a vote bumps you to the top! Also, there are different ways to get different amount of points, which can be used for advertising further on the site, for example. There's also an option to go directly to our home page, which gives more points since it's better for us. So webmasters can choose what they prefer. There's also plenty of easter eggs, including evil ones that reset you to 0 points.

But if you say good things about me in the code, you get a high score.

But it's case sensitive though which makes it harder (and easier for me to program

). I can't wait to get rolling with this. Anyone wanting to put their site is welcomed now, but the Webmaster CP is not close from done (in fact, it's not started

)

It's now completed!

Everything seems to be working in order now.

There's a nice easter egg in there that will give you 1000 points per vote too!

Another easter egg gives you 100... and there's a few that give you 0, as in, resetting the points. oops, don't look too hard.

It's here:

Anyone that is in charge of a tech site, or site closely enough related is more then welcomed to add it in.
