New FAQ organization

[Priscellie]

Just wondering - will this include threads that have book signing Q&A summaries?  They are still the Words of Jim.

Excellent suggestion.  Yes, it should.

[Ms Duck]

a sugestion for the spoilers section:

rather then split it on questions, which tend to wander, but split it on antagonist

for example:

the cowl section
the nicodemous section
the mab section
the marcone section

and sticky a WOJ thread at the front on each, containing a short locked list of all WOJ statements about that person; for example, a note under a 'demonreach' would be that the island was injured by the ice age glaciers approx 70,000 years ago...

could be a lot of fun for new members just to browse in, honestly.

I nominate Shecky for the project, as Duck is obviously too untrustworthy 

[Priscellie]

Good idea.

I nominate freaking EVERYONE for the project, as it's too big for one person!

[Ms Duck]

Okay, Mac!  I'll give a bit of summary for each.

Is Mac...God?  —A lot of talk of gods/deities in this one.

Who's Mac?  —Looks to be one of the original Mac threads.

Theories on Mac  —More o' the same.  One of the first threads I posted in IIRC.    Talks about WC connections for a lot of it.

Mac  —White God theory yet again.

Who is Mac (heorot spoilers)  —Norse Pantheon, Merlin, Elvis, Tom Bombadil, etc.

Who is McAnally?  —Okay, an earlier one than the other.  Typical merlin/deity posits.

McAnally & His Bar  —Maybe THE original Mac thread.  A lot of talk about Mac being a retired version of Kincaid.  Linked to by Priscellie, incidentally, in the Who is McAnally? thread. 

McAnally and the Accords?  —Specifically about Mac in relation to the Accords, and Neutral Territory.

What About Barkeep?  —Dragon, Merlin, God, Bombadil, the Gatekeeper, God of Beer, Vanilla.

The word of Mac 2.0  —Norse pantheon, again, vanilla, a god of beer, ex-special-ops guy, white god, Mr. Clean (courtesy of Mickey), van helsing, ex-wizard, Kvothe, Dagda, Cowl, changeling. Oh wait, also proposed Mad = Jim.

Mac's true id  —More Norse.  Ex-wizard.  Same old, same old.

Who, or what, is Mac?  —Ivy's father, Mister, former Gatekeeper, Hound of Ulster.  Jim.

Mac's identity finally revealed  —Bombadil.  Aberforth Dumbledore.  NSA man.  Ex-warden.

Mac  —NSA man, God.

Why did Mac come to Chicago?  —Venatori Umbrorum.

A theory about Mac  —Wizard, changeling, venatori, powers that withered like Mortimer's, former blackstaff, dragon, djinn, agent of god, black cat.

Mac and Ivy Possible stretch --- or is it? (SmF Spoilers)  —Ivy's grandfather.  Shepherd Book and the Operative, thank you Priscellie, Shecky. 

///EDIT///

One more:  Is Mac (from McAnally's) the Original Merlin  Same old same old—but in poll format.

Okay, made it through all 87 pages of the Spoilers.  These are the major ones.

Site Support FAQ:

What are the guidelines on user icon size?

Avatars should be less than 125x125 pixels, with the standard 100x100 being preferable.  (LINK)

Why can’t I upload my own user icon?

New members unlock the ability to have a personal user icon at 100 posts. (LINK)

What are the guidelines on signature size?

It shouldn't be any taller than 5 lines of text, or 75-80 pixels (with the exception of Remember Bob sig icons).   (LINK)

How do I post a picture?

You can’t upload a picture directly to the site.  First you must upload the picture somewhere on the internet that will allow you to link to it.  Then, in the post you’d like to put a picture, you surround the link to that post by the codes [ IMG ] amd [/ IMG ] (without the spaces).  Your picture should show up in the thread without a problem.(LINK)


(I'm sure I could come up with more.)

[Myyrdn Eopia]

Good idea.

Okay, Mac's down, Amber's on the Support FAQ, whaddya want tackled next?  My short list:

Cowl/Kumori
Nicodemus
Justin
Black Council
Marcone
The Swords

[Ms Duck]

ohhhh boy:)

i geus my sugestion would be to let it lie rather then spend 60,000 hours searching the various pages of spoilers for info on say cowl;

here would be the

Cowl Section
with the first thread being a stickied, facts only woj thread; no theories or conspriacies allowed, just facts, with sources.

then the rest of the threads allow to run amuck within that heading

[Myyrdn Eopia]

Ha, no, I just skim for those with the major discussion.  The find function comes in handy for finding thread titles—if it comes up in a derailing of a thread, I don't touch it.

[Ms Duck]

my thought on breaking up spoilers as it has gotten zilla sized would be 'archive' all the older stuff, set up a new format, and then let folks start new threads. save the poor mods about 6 months of therapy.

 

[iago]

Honestly I think the "SUBMIT" boards should just go away. Folks have misunderstood and misused the purpose of those boards, as some commenters have noted. I'm fine with keeping the answers sections as is or pruned or transmogrified or whatever Pris wants to do with them. But the questions/submit area is drawing conversation away from other areas of the board where it should be happening. Folks can point us at threads that should be FAQ'd within those existing other areas as it is.  Am I wrong?

[Myyrdn Eopia]

Nope.  Honestly, I think you should get to bed and worry about this later today.  If you aren't there already.  Many thanks for what you've done, Fred.
