I'm over 69 as a funny number. Please join me in respectfully laying 69 to rest. Anyway there are other funny numbers uh... like what about 28? Imagine if a month was so lovely it had 28 days. gently caress you February!

Nah 69 will always be the funny sex number. I'd say 666 is ripe for replacement as christian mythology is not cannon and draws us further from God's light.

instead of a reductive numeric rating just have a text box for each thread where people can write their opinion of it

plz change the voting options to emoji smilies. I have difficulty expressing or identifying emotional states and these really help me communicate and understand others. I know many yosposters suffer from the same condition.

most people only vote 1 or 5. we could change this to 0 and 1 and store the vote in a single bit, this optimization could solve all of lowtax’s problems.

It would be more efficient to store the total value of votes and the total number of votes to avoid slow queries on the individual votes duh.

no need to change the ui. 1 or 2 becomes a 0 vote, 4 or 5 becomes a 1 vote. 3 gets thrown out for being a mealy mouthed bullshit vote.

speaking of thread ratings. i was just the first vote for a thread and then someone else voted. my vote was a 5, his was a 1, but the thread rating was 2.33. i clicked the 5 button again and the rating jumped up to a solid 3. i think radiums got some bugfixing to do.
