GhostMalone Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I was wondering how everyone feels on linking all the heresy WIP logs into an accessible database. I was thinking have the legions in numerical order with the persons name company designation and a link to the project to help us locate all the differing blogs. Maybe even a section for group logs? I just find it time consuming searching all over and through book marks for people's armies and I was wondering what the concensus is Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291839-all-the-heresy-projects/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 That would be amazing. But it's not very manageable. It would require a massive amount of upkeep and cataloging. The problem I have with it, is that many people start a WIP thread that lasts a page or two before dying off, never to see the light of day. I've done just that more than a few times on here. Perhaps we could add users and their logs to a pinned thread after some staying power is displayed? The risk you run with something using this system would be the elitist feel. The exclusiveness might regurgitate that boy's club look. Like why don't the 40k Chapters get their own database of users who've represented them on the tabletop? I don't know, man. It's a thought.

GhostMalone Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Your right maybe it needs to make at least 1000points of models before it is pinned? Or something similar to a criteria we can always remove a log if it doesn't get past the inception period Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291839-all-the-heresy-projects/#findComment-3705466 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 For what it's worth, perhaps a topic along the lines of Brother Tyler's Tabula Astartes might be in order (insofar as it has links to the various project URL's ) Once the topic is set up, it shouldn't take too much time to maintain. What the minimum criteria should be for projects to be added is, of course a relative thing. I must admit that such a thing would be handy for myself as I tend to lurk in here more often as of late Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291839-all-the-heresy-projects/#findComment-3705492 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 As a serial army changer I would be hesitant to put forward any of my work (seriously I think I am possessed by a lord of change. Hmm....thousand sons....), but I would be cool to have easy access to other peoples logs as stuff can get lost on the WIP forum, and even here, easily.

Grotsmasha Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Your best bet is get one or more of the HH Forum Mods on board as their ability to keep the thread up to date will outlast most members. As for limitations and exclusions, I would suggest neither, even short-lived threads can have that one model that is truely inspirational. As for layout, Jaspcat's suggese of Legions, then Users with Company number would be the simplest and easiest to negotiate. That's my 2c anyway, Cheers, Jono Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291839-all-the-heresy-projects/#findComment-3705512 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Eremon Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I think it could be done like the Fleeta of the Heresy thread. Make a thread, claim the first twenty posts as your own (might need a mod for this to make it easy). Each post is a Legion, each line has: the Member's name the Unit Designation (Company, or something differently named like an Alpha Legion Cell or White Scars Brotherhood) And a link to their WIP thread(s) Things like points and such can be added in, if necessary, but I wouldn't use it as a qualifier or anything. I would suggest no restrictions. It will seem like a lot in the beginning, because you will have everyone playing their information. But since you get caught up, it will just be simple updates.

Tyrannicide Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Maybe it could be a Mod(s)-only operated thread, where you petition to have your force added. Only 20 posts long. Would keep down on all the discussion and keep it purely link based with proper information.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I think that's the best idea yet, Darth. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291839-all-the-heresy-projects/#findComment-3705534 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tyler Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 See, this is another case where appropriate use of tags would work wonders. While we might create a basic index or set of indices, these could very easily be nothing more than gateways to the tagged blogs, simplifying the maintenance process (and believe me, maintaining these indices is no small effort, especially when additions/updates happen on a regular basis - I'd hate to burn mods out with this kind of make-work when the solution is at our fingertips).

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I guess it's a good thing I used all of the ones available on my WIP thread. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291839-all-the-heresy-projects/#findComment-3705578 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would keep down on all the discussion and keep it purely link based with proper information. Pretty much this. Thread is set up with 24ish posts, 18 posts for the Legions, one each for the Imperial Army, Missing Legions (shared post), AdMech and Custodes/Sisters of Silence and maybe two "Reserved" spaces for something we may not be prepared for that appears at a later date. To be placed in the thread P.M. a mod with the Legion, Company and Co. Title and the link to your thread.

Relict Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I would prefer a catalog of sort. Eighteen pinned, each dedicated to a single Legion. The first post of each thread would be maintained by a moderator, containing links to various units created by various members. I think this would be better suited to the Hall of Honor section - completed units only. For example: HALL OF HONOR [sub-forum] --> XII LEGION WORLD EATERS --> RELICT --> 77TH BATTLE COMPANY [unit] Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291839-all-the-heresy-projects/#findComment-3705581 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ordo Machinum Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Specific Tags like "Legion X Iron Hands" for Legion and other tags like "Troops" "Assault Squad" for types then?

Marshal Rohr Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Just make a pinned index of how to search for tags, and the 'format' of tagging for people who want their logs accessible. For instance tag Imperial Fists and WIP and all the wip fists logs would show up. You don't need to tag your Username because the search function already has that option.

Conn Eremon Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 While the population is probably minor compared to the Desktop users, tags are useless for Mobile users. Anything related to tags requires the full site, including seeing and searching. But the population of Mobile users is increasing.
