SoFlaJets Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Why aren't we doing it anymore here at JN and will it ever come back? It was one of my favorite things going here and I think it made people step up their game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 BergenJet offered to do it going forward. Have to get some programming done to allow people to nominate posts again. Working on the bookie progam and new virtual cash system. Once those are in place which should be soon, I will look for a programmer that can make the potw changes. Thanks.

war ensemble Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I imagine you could automate most of it to make it easier.. Most of it was automated. Regardless, we always had the POTW guy read every nomination, comment on every nomination, choose a winner, write a little introduction, and post it as a thread.

That's right you filled in for Beans doing it one week or so didn't you W.E.? You did a good job and I think GG did it one week too...EY was doing great at it-I just miss it-it was one of the best and most original things about this site. Remember when Crusher introduced himself and won it that week? That was frigging awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when Crusher introduced himself and won it that week? That was frigging awesome. It was fun to do, it just became burdensome. When I started back with school, I just didn't have the time anymore. It was over an hour a week to do it right, all for the sake of a bunch of people telling you how much your pick sucked.

I am surprised you were getting it done in an hour. And, yes, it would have taken me 2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I imagine you could automate most of it to make it easier.. Dude, I did it both ways. the old way (which was insane!) that Beans used to do it. and the new way. it still takes a lot of time every week. BTW Beans was still the greatest at doing it. god bless him! and he also gave me my one and only win 1 more than Klecko has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW Beans was still the greatest at doing it. god bless him! and he also gave me my one and only win 1 more than Klecko has Agreed-Beans is the best-he also gave ME my one and only win -I think he felt sorry for me because I was whining about never winning and being the good guy that he is-he threw me a bone. Not for nuthin' but I think Klecko should have won at least two of them while EY was doing them but with the JI crowd thing and all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to go on record that I have never whined about not winning POTW and that I was beaten by worthy posts. I would also like to go on record refuting Chan's notion that bergenjet doing POTW would guarantee me wins. If anything Frank is the type who wouldn't pick my posts simply to avoid the appearance of favoritism. On the other hand, you can all go screw yourselves.

T0mShane Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 As the original Post of the Week compiler, I can honestly tell you that it was a huge pain in the a$$ to sort through. That's why I always just picked my own posts to win every week. My recommendation? Make the previous week's winner perform the task of reading and sorting and, ultimately, selecting the winner for the following week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
