Really. I don't know burke prefect from a hole in the wall, but this has got to be one of the funniest things the metaverse has ever produced.
I think next we need is a dating site for only people who have beautiful avatars
Ok, well, and Taco Rubio's upskirt museum, that was pretty funny too.

*bows* Thank you. I hope to make it shiny over my weekend off on Weds. Hopefully add SL integration, get the club crowd on it, let the drahma flow, then to pay for the site (and the software, god that was a dent) run some SL ads in a banner.
I need to make it look... better, tho. I also locked a couple things down. I hope to maybe expland different section of the site for different MMOs, but that's down the road. I also need to learn php and sql scripting because I keep getting brushed off. |

Hey, cool... how'd you come up with the idea? Someone in IRC inspired me. I can't remember the exact conversation. |

I had to wipe the site after something broke. (missed a checkbox). I don't plan on doing any more more wipes. I will make a backup before I take a Shinehammer to the site in a couple days. |

Dunno. why, is there something I'm missing? I gave him the idea a few weeks ago to mod Snapzilla to do this. I asked that if he use it, that all I'd ask for is a bit of recognision. I didn't get a reply; I assumed this meant that either he didn't like the idea or already had it. Seeing how you're using turnkey rate software, I thought it might be possible that the idea got passed along to you. It could very well be a sheer coincidence; someone eventually would have thought of the idea if not me. _____________________

I actually don't remember. I know I got the IDEA during a conversation on IRC. But i don't think it was about snapzilla.
I need a codemonkey that can tamp the site code down to something more... secure. Know anyone willing to work on it? |

I just know it wasn't done already yet, and it would attract people if I did it right. It's in prelaunch because I literally havent had time to work on it. This job consumes most of my time. I also just kinda got rusty when I comes to making websites.

Know anyone willing to work on it? work ... cheap. *cries* and people wonder why there are so few scripters for hire in SL.  _____________________

i guess I'll just have to learn php. I begged and pleaded for advice during the whole week before I bought i-rater and never got a peep about it. And then people immediately started nitpicking me saying how the could code something better and/or the site code sucked.
There was a little FIC buzz about it but as usual I seem to have bunged something up. |

I also just kinda got rusty when I comes to making websites. Great start, by the way - now that I'm looking at it... Well, while you're still gathering ideas, here's a few: 1. Sort by AV type in addition to male / female / both (goth only, robot, creature) - can use metadata keywords 2. One big central picture so it's obvious for stupid people like me what to do. (Picture, 0-10, sort option button) 3. Like Snapzilla, allow email snapshot -> RateMyAV (put category / keywords in description) 4. Allow different format (as in, length and width) for pictures. (within reason) 5. Normalize all ratings 6. Round the average rating to a single decimal _____________________

Yeah. I need someone to help on that. At the moment I'm kinda stuck, not sure if the people that said they were busy are willing to deal with it. I do need to sledgehammer the site to better fit SL, and shore up things I don't like about the software.
Hell, at this point I'd just sell the site off to someone to get it off my hands. |

Not the first time its been done for SL, either. Davo Greenstein did have and probably still has a site like this for ages.

Can't help but wonder if LL will use something like this when revamping the ratings system.
