ChipGuide Member Value Enhancement Announcement (13 Viewers)

[Tonysquander]

I assume when you say "this website" I assume you are referring to PCF? You are absolutely right, PCF is also an excellent resource with a lot of great people and that's why I chosen to be a supporter of it but why can't we support like the club.

You are correct, I was referring to PCF. The following was a much longer post but I have pared it back to the basics.

In my opinion, I think the club does not get much support from persons around these parts because:

1. Website is very outdated, confusing, difficult, and unappealing to anyone accustomed to modern web pages (e.g. the younger generation of chippers);

2. Some persons in power have traditionally scorned, insulted, and/or needlessly antagonized the members of PCF instead of seeing them as an incredible resource for information, club participation, and growth that should be cultivated; and

3. Attempts to interact between the two populations have historically been hindered by #1 and #2 above.

I will rebuild the chip guide web site for free + 24/7 maintenance when (WHEN) they will stop telling me that they own the rights of my own pictures submitted on their web site.

This a dibs and serious offer.

Consider the uploaded item as a file rather than a picture. By uploading, you transfer rights to the file to ChipGuide. They enhance or modify it in various ways. The original file remains yours on your device or storage, you still own it. The file on ChipGuide is different from what you own.

Oh, the ChipGuide is fine just the way it is but thank you for the offer.

Seems like at this point it might just be worth creating a new chip guide... Hell, @BarrieJ3 might have enough samples to get us half the way to the current one.

I've realized in this thread that there is a need for two laughing emojis. One that conveys laughing at and one that conveys laughing with.

Maybe that could be an enhanced value feature for supporting members.

I mean we can just recreate 90%+ of its content and functionality in hours.

Hell, if we didn’t want to deal with setting up the automation to strip its database, we could always pay someone off fiverrr $250 to get the whole thing done and provide the file/mapping, then we could have fun building it.

I’d be happy to do it myself and just donate the whole thing to public or PCF members or whatever. Would need to wait until I had a free weekend or something after the move, but it’s never bad to poke around and add a new skill over a weekend.

A free pro tip : avoid to give any legal advice to friends. Or do it but to your ennemies.

I don't know why and maybe I am off base and am the only person that finds this specific angle of the post hilarious.

But there is something about an organization filled primarily with 80 year old men arguing that a dinosaur website is basically a reverse NFT that is so God damn funny to me
