Hey all

Today I announce the opening of the #cemetech Quote DB.

It features a user-system, raking system, mod queue (still in development, lol...), and a couple cool pages to view the quotes as you wish.

Quotes aren't moderated for any specific content, mind you, so some quotes may be profane.

Any comments, feature requests, criticisms, etc... would be much appreciated. Enjoy!

Also, Kerm, I'm sure it wouldn't be hard at all to link Melisma and CQDB, so let me know your thoughts on how you would like to accomplish this

So be sure to register, and rate and post quotes and enjoy!

#cemetech Quote DB Website
The CQDB can also be accessed at http://quotes.bluelogicteam.com/

So I'm thinking that she just needs to wget a script, passing POST or GET parameters with the quote and some kind of private key. Does that sound workable to you?

Nice to hear!

I liked when #tcpa had a quote database. I wish they kept it up. Rcfreak0 should add one on his bot too.

That stuff can be fun to read sometimes

Feel free to post quotes from other channels, of course

I'm thinking of adding an optional input for what #channel and/or server it was quoted from

Kerm, most definitely. I can throw that together pretty quickly (though it's Father's Day weekend, so I can't promise anything immediately, but it'd only take a couple minutes to write I'm sure).

You can wget melisma.php or something with the title and quote. My DB requires titles for the quotes, but I'm sure we can figure something like that out... But at the moment I'm not really available to brainstorm or work, hehe.

What's with this past tense? It's not like you're ever around to know for yourself.


Also, this quote database is stupid. Only retards are on #cemetech and they say retarded things.

Which is why there's a quote database... duh? To record all the retarded things we say so other people can laugh at them.

Silly, Allyn Folks Junior

This logic astounds me. Most of the quotes will be like this:

* LZULZULZULZULZULZULZ Kerm SUCKS BALLZ

* ROTFLTOFCLTOFOEROFLC TI SUCKS BALLZ

* HAHAWHAWHAHWHAWHHAWHAWH NIKKY IZ R LAME

Let's not forget "Windows is a n****r"

#cemetech userlist at the moment:

Code:
Who's the retard now?

Anyway, Swivel, let's get this script together.

Well I am not a retard

I humbly request you fix my IRC nickname. You misspelled it.

Also, neat idea Swivel. Who knows? Maybe it'll outdo Bash (which seems to reject 90% of quotes if they aren't racist in some way)

Yes, it's a very original idea. There are no quote databases anywhere online.

Nope, ours was the first. We're just now getting around to implementing it. :p

Indeed, tifreak8x actually had the idea when he was a few months old, so his was the original idea. Bash.org and QDB and all the others just copied him.

Duh, Nikky!

So Swivelgames, what should we have Melisma pass to your application? I guess the body of the quote, of course, and probably also the username of the submitter and the source channel? I don't see any point in a timestamp.

Did we figure out a title yet? Perhaps "!qdb {title} {quote}" I'm sure username and channel can be picked up automatically.

Sure, I can easily modify Melisma's existing quote database script to accept that format, that would help a lot. I propose that the quotes submitted thus still get placed in the moderation queue on the CQDB rather than immediately accepted, for the sake of avoiding abuse?

Sure thing. You can use index.php?cp=submit&ct=post&melisma, then you can pass the follow:

• $quote - Quote
  
• $author - Nick of submitter
  
• $channel - Channel (with hash? or without?)
  
• $botid - Super-Special Hash

Since CQDB takes titles, what do you think the title should be?
I was just thinking something incredibly generic like "Submitted by ".$author." in #".$channel

If the user has an account at CQDB, they should be able to edit the quotes sent from IRC with their username in the title...? Or would that be too unsecure?
