LoyceV, can you please tell me if you can add the time of user bans to your website?
Sorry, I didn't keep track of this. Currently, I upload banned users once a day, and I have "
modlog records for the past 6 months, but for the majority of bans I won't have any data on when it happened. I got many users on my list from Vod, and even that list doesn't cover the full history of bans on Bitcointalk.
After the problems with BIP many people have lost this opportunity. In my opinion, this is very important information.
I'm still hoping Vod will fix it again
Thank you for the answer. You have a great resource that I visit a lot. It's a pity that the website doesn't have the dates of user bans. I also really hope that Vod will restore the BIP.
There are a lot of us who had gotten used to several of the informational and interface presentations of BPIP, yet it is starting to feel like a "take my marbles and go home" kind of situation.
Of course, VOD had contributed a lot over the years, and of course, there is not always recognition for HARD work that is done, but that is the nature of both open source and these kinds of forum contributions that can devolve into nonsensical personal arguments and all or nothing "you or me" kinds of presentations.
If VOD does not continue with BPIP, then hopefully someone else will take the reins of such a project with some kind of similar interface and/or accessibility of certain kinds of forum-related information. I don't want to jinx anything, and surely I am not superstitious, yet at the same time, I understand that sometimes, we could be at the end of an era and the person(s) that had historically been doing that kind of work does play his cards hard and sticks with his hand, however, stubborn that might seem to be.
Richie_T did a similar thing with Chartbuddy - even though a precedent had been set for the existence and utility of Chartbuddy, no forum member has so far taken up the reins of programming a Chartbuddy 2.0, just like we might be witnessing the early days for a need for a BPIP 2.0 programmer.. .and surely I have no fucking skills beyond possibly rhetorically filling up the spaces of various threads with walls of text, to the extent that might questionably do any good in any direction: good, bad or ugly?...
