Today, I tracked over one hundred attempts of abuse on ANN. I've been working on the filters and editing mechanisms for over four hours. Maintaining ANN is turning into real work, and all I see are tasks that I despise. This one individual, and the general attitude on ANN lately, is alienating visitors and making this site a horrible place to be. Most of what I see is insults and blind advocacy... I'm tired... And I can just see the negative comments again, in reply to me posting this...

MOTD 02/01/2002 : Comment 34 of 174 | ANN.lu |

>Christian, ever thought of using REBOL???
I've become interested in Ruby lately, and that's another potential alternative- however, it's not that Perl is, in itself, a problem, it's just that Christian is the sole maintainer of ANNCode, and OOPifying things may make it easier to distribute development. Of course, switching would likely entail a major rewrite, which is the sort of thing he probably doesn't have time for. :}
As to logging in, the real problem is that Slashcode and its variants have a poor UI if you prefer to avoid cookies. Even the ubiquitous UBB script allows you to enter your l/p from the post form itself, which is convenient enough- as it is, we have to type just as much to enter names and addresses.
Is ANN's codebase clean enough to become a Sourceforge project? Anyone know of similar services that welcome private projects? (Opening ANNcode without an initial invite-only scour would give the s'kids easy access to any obscure exploits)...
Just a few thoughts. |
