DoF Histories

Post by Blue »

So, DoF Histories haven't been updated in over a year and no one seems to be in any mood to fix it. Is there something we can do to get it caught up? Can I bribe someone with an ultra rare comic card for the upcoming IFL? Bake them a cake, put some ice cream on it, maybe a little hot fudge and a candle?

Just curious, and a little concerned that it will eventually go on so long without an update that the effort to find all the details for each opal will eclipse any desire to see the histories reflect the last year(s).

Diamond list, ShadoWeaver, FireStar and PathFinder are up to date (though I have to go back and fix a couple things; like alternating line colors).

IceDancer and MoonBeryl should hopefully be done tomorrow.

If you see any errors or challenges missed, please let me know.

Everyone please thank Kal...the history updates are time-consuming and by no means an easy task and Kal volunteered (much as Harris did in the past...thank Harris, too!) to tackle the job.

The update was sorta quick and dirty, mostly to satisfy the request and preserve the information. Thanks to Harris for catching some of my mistakes and pointing them out for me.

At some point in the next couple days/weeks I'll probably go in and clean up the overall formatting.

It was pointed out to me that there were some inconsistencies in the histories. Changing date formats from one entry to the next; whether the note about an opal changing hands fell under the ousted holder or the victor.. that kind of thing, which seemed to be triggering an OCD meltdown. On a second look though I had to admit it was right, so I've been playing around with these some more trying to do a format cleanup instead of the original quick and dirty, just get the past year in there, approach.

ShadoWeaver, and FireStar have been updated at this point. I should get the others soon. I guess IceDancer should be next since it just changed hands.

If anyone has other suggestions, please let me know. I'm always open to them. Oh, and also, a ton of the old entries lack thread links. I suspect that many of them could be found on the DoF Archives site if anyone feels like hunting them down. I'll probably get around to it myself at some point, though I've got around 37 other projects in queue so it may be a while.

I had located all the thread links at one time. Let me look for them again.
