Trivia & #Trivia

First of all, are you going to fix #Trivia AF? I loved that, when only a few people were on and I was doing other work.

Second, I have a trivia question for all of you.

Which two songs from Queen and AC DC convey a similar message about women and what do you interpret that message to be?

The downfall of #trivia

1) #trivia started to a relative success but it soon became apparent that the questions where too hard

2) Swiftspear volunteered to make and maintain new questions and answers to make #trivia winnable to an extent without requiring a google search. However it was next to impossible for swiftspear todo anything as iamacup promised an FTP account and did not deliver any means at all with which to update or edit the quiz.txt file.

3) Iamacup moved servers and forgot to copy the 8MB quiz.txt file, leaving #trivia with the same 3 ridiculously easy default questions, whats the capitol of france, UK, and US. #trivia was locked soon afterwards.

4) Iamacup evicts cookiebot from his servers. With no new hosting for cookiebot and an ever paranoid iamacup seeing fault with every sentence I say #trivia was left for dead.

Well, when Cup is back, I'll consult him about working with you on it, then. Oh, and keep the old questions - trivia isn't supposed to be easy.

I'll box both your ears if you start a tussle in my thread, boys.

But its true and it is quite laughable. After a point, iamacup found fault with every single word I said regardless of what it was.

Anything nice became sarcastic, anything forthright became an all out attack, anything helpful became an endeavour to criticize and humiliate. It seeams he took the usual "add a lolol to the end of every post I make", and instead added "you lanky b*stard" instead....

Its been ages since #trivia worked, and I wouldnt expect iamacup to help, and tbh I dont know if I'd want his help, not untill hes sorted out his problem with me.

Yes, but it's not supposed to be as hard as #trivia was.

I mean, who knows what actor had a minor role in some 1932 short film?

Also, the #trivia questions seemed to be 9 out of 10 about pop culture... and 9 out of 10 pop culture questions seemed to be very old pop culture... stuff about early '50s musicians and the aforementioned 1932 short film. The ratio of pop culture:interesting stuff needs to be fixed.

That's cause they were downloaded off of some random site which contained only questions made of pure lame.

AF · Post by AF » 28 Jul 2007, 16:39

Indeed, I just searched for the largest file I could find and found that one with 8000 questions

Neddie · Post by **Neddie** » 28 Jul 2007, 23:32

Well, just add to those we have. No need to toss them out.

Anyway, anybody have an answer to my majestic and quite simple trivia question?

BlackLiger · Post by **BlackLiger** » 29 Jul 2007, 02:22

We should do geek trivia. Precisely what kind of server does cookiebot need to run, AF?

AF · Post by AF » 29 Jul 2007, 05:51

its a jar package, so anything with a 'java' command thats persistent will do

swift is a sausage.

Unlocking this.

Cup, that image is flamebait. Remove it please.

Please keep this civil or I will hunt you down and stab you. And since both AF and Cup live in the UK, I can fufil said promise.

Those words hardly carry weight outside a select circle

SwiftSpear · Post by **SwiftSpear** » 03 Aug 2007, 22:20

I'll box both your forum accounts.

Satisfied?

Neddie · Post by **Neddie** » 03 Aug 2007, 22:20

Thank you, Swift.
