Okay, so when we started this whole subscription thing one of the features I promised for gold and up was the ability to have your own personal mod. I'm going to be working on that soon, but we need to decide how this will be implemented.

There's basically two options:

1. A personal mod that only the owner can use and is purely novelty, the only time a post will have this mod will be +1 [personal mod] when you're the first and only mod.


2. A personal mod that becomes available to the post once the owner has modded with it. This means once the owner has used that mod anyone else can use it on that post. This makes the mod a bit more than a novelty and creates the possibility of a +10 [personal mod]

I'm not currently leaning one way or the other so I figured I'd throw it out there and hear everyone's thoughts on it before I decide one way or the other.

In the next month or two I'm also going to be bringing the random images fully online with a nsfw opt out. In addition, I'm also going to be shifting the user avatars to appear based on user participation. Having avatars showing up for users that haven't done anything more than make the comment with their avatar isn't really fair to those users' avatars that keep getting edged out by the randomization of it all. So, I'll probably end up making a script that processes the posting, commenting, and moderation of the previous day and taking something like the top 10 most active users's avatars and placing them into the image queue.

That's about it. We've been going for about ten months now and think we've made some decent progress. I've gotten the major functional features I promised in the beginning done. Fun stuff over the horizon a bit now that all that's out of the way. Still hunting down the occasional mod issue :-/

I'm thinking about april or so I'm going to be locking down work on features for version 1 of the code and start working primarily on 2.0 which will basically be a fresh start of the codebase with an html5 frontend.

Thoughts? How are things with you guys?
