Link catcher

[Fish]

This is a sticky to remind us all of Zok's awesome linky thing (http://zoklet.net/ircstats/urls.php).

We all love that linky thing, Zok.

I suppose this is also the place where people can post ideas about it, or Zok could post updated features.

Idea:

perhaps for the linky thing, you could set up a system of comments. I know that the whole "link rating" thing is stupid for recursive reasons (people click on the popular links, which get more popular, etc.), but a system of commentary or labeling might actually be useful - people could see others' impressions of the more popular links.

Of course, I also have very little idea of how many links you actually catch, and how many people go through the links. If it's popular, I'd say that comments might be the perfect addition.

what linky thing are you referring to

[Kwinnie Bogan]

It usd to catch links dropped in IRC and log them.

Why is this a sticky when the link catcher doesn't even work anymore?

[Kwinnie Bogan]

Because it was stickied in 2007, Duke.
