Is there anyway to see the average ratings given for our strips? It seems that there would be, if so than where?

That's just crazy talk!

i would like to know that to.

We used to be able to once, before the dark times and the exodus of our people...

Fuck it - I did this joke once before and no-one liked it.

Do you want ants? Because that's how you get ants.

I just thought I'd revive this thread, just to be a dick. AND because I greatly enjoy inflicting my own personal comic taste on other people's comics when I read them -- and I'd like to know I'm getting results.

Ratings -- I love, ratings... la la la

And, just out of curiousity, what's the problem with adding ratings? It can't be too hard to code -- does the ratings database take up too much space on the server? Is there a problem with mutexes? (I don't know PHP, so I don't know how hard it could possibly be.) Seems like all you'd have to do is store two integers -- a sum of all ratings and the number of ratings given so far...

"Old" is the old new.

The whole stat collection/collation thing is still there, but Brad took down the actual display of the results, since he never managed to figure out a cheat-proof system. I mean, why have the stats at all if they are going to be grossly inaccurate, and it just encourages braindead monkeys to sit there cheating until they're on top? He has a secret URL with the comic rankings on it... :)

Actually, I can live without knowing who has the best comic ON THE SITE. As I recall, the way it worked before the ratings were done as a strict sum, not an average, so comic #15 would always beat comic #69815 no matter what. I'm just curious which of my own comics rate best, and I want to be able to tell anyone who doesn't reload his comic with "10" 4 million times how good (or horrendous) his comic is.

Let the monkeys reload until their computer explodes for all I care.

I'm much the same to be honest. I don't think a ratings system is that important. The only real advantage I can think of it giving us would be if random comics on the front page could be limited to a minimum number of points, so only reasonably good ones will greet new visitors.

That's just me being a snob, though...

I think it might not be a bad idea to see our own ratings. If I create a comic illustrating the perils of dicing food when drunk and a thousand spontaneous combustion comics, and I see the rating of the one is much higher than the thousand, then I may be more inclined to create the former, and thus funnier comics are made.

I hope that made an inkling of sense.

Some of us don't always read what's on the front page... and consequently rate everything one.
