I have 3 up there still hoping for slow motion to get bumped up to 80% some how.

I obviously can't help you there... but oh well, at least it is sitting comfortably, up there, backed by 160 votes! That's great!

Yeah I'm extremely happy with it. I just wanted to post something to bump the awesomeness of the statistics.

I love the statistics.

wow. i just realized my highest scoring slogans have less votes than the ones below them/older ones!

Its always the way Courtz, people dont appreciate the good old ones....

sloaaaaaaaaaaaaanssssss

sloantistics

God i love this invention.

Divine intervention.

Divine intervention.

wow, I havent checked this out in a second. Nice new features.

More and more high quality slogans around! By now you need at least a 71% rating to find yourself in the top 100. When I started it, 68% was still enough!

Oh, and I am in, once again... with those 71% : ) Thanks to all voters!

yay! I think I have 2 up there. (for now anyway)

New things to come! If you look at my "About me" section then at the top you will see a crude first version of a dynamically created image showing my MSQ and how it compares with another OSC member's MSQ. The other member changes automatically from time to time.
The picture will get nicer in the future and the concept might still change a bit. Once it's finished I will include an HTML generator on my Statistics Page so that everyone can grab the code to include it in the about section or in comments or blog posts.

whoa, that is pretty neat! i just finished voting on your latest slogans and it jumped up, haha. i thought it was just a screenshot or something!

What does MSQ stand for?

Mystical Sloganeering Quotient : ) It is explained in more detail in the comments. It is supposed to be mystical, though, so I won't explain again.

I still do not understand MSQ...

Did you go through the comments and read it up? Basically it was born from the thought that the average rating alone doesn't do a sloganeer justice. Because someone with an average rating of 50% but only 1 slogan is probably not as great as someone with a 50% average on say 100 slogans. So the MSQ takes into account the amount of slogans and votes you got and also the average rating and makes it into a comparable number. In future versions of the formula many other factors might be incorporated.

That's awesome.

Groovy of you to say so : )

FRICKINAWESOME in another blog:
hahaha, fun idea Colorfool pitting some friendly competition against one another in the OSC. As long as its friendly, no scraped knees or shattered feelings.

Certainly. That is also part of the reason why the program choses your "opponent" randomly. So you can't just use it to show off.

Anyways, I am not sure what the final version will be like. It could also just show your MSQ on some sort of diploma style background? Or it could show a graph of how your MSQ develops over time? Any thoughts? Which kind of option might you want to paste into your profile, blog or other blogs comments?

I like the diploma style background idea, as well as showing the MSQ's development over time (really like this idea). I think showing your MSQ rank overall might be nice, so you can really see where everyone stands. Although that may be more useful as separate page within the statistics site.

Either way, I like what you have up now. The friendly competition aspect is a very nice touch.

Thanks, PuppetMeat! Any more comments on direction or anything else?

Another bump for suggestions!

This just keeps improving man, I honestly don't know what else to suggest. Maybe a search function by keywords?

Also, I like the idea of posting your top5 and MSQ in the profile, think that is pretty sweet.

Thanks Krimson! Yeah, I want to get this thing a bit more into people profiles instead of just having it on a separate page. Since the threadless community is what it is all about : )

colorfool, you're a saint! I don't know how you do it.

and omgoodness I can't believe I'm in the 30s today!

Yehaaaa, spacesick one! Nice to see you around! I also arrived on place 30, today! Makes me crazily happy! Also happy in a crazy way, kinda!

cuckoo for cocoa puffs!

Cocoa puffs for everyone! It should be a constitutional right! For animals, too!

Slogan stats have been updated with the latest printed tees (coming Monday printed tees, that is)!

you rule, colorfool. the slogan statistics page is fantastic!

Thanks for dropping by! Bringing the glamour of a printed sloganeer with you!

Huzzah for Colorfool... I loves you Colorfool.

great work colorfool! i'll bump you if you bump me! *wink wink*

So, have you got it so we can profile stream it yet? If so, how?

Thanks all around!

@Krimson: I still need to speed things up a bit so that the cheap web-space won't die once I serve it to you fine folks. But it's on its way : )

sounds good man.

awesome work colorfool! was going to make something like this myself, but since you've already done it I cbb :P

quick ques...how does the "New Slogans" work? Is it just all the recently added slogans by OSC members? coz it feels a few too little slogans for such a large club :P (seems like all slogans listed have at least a certain # of votes)

and a suggestion - maybe have a page where it lists slogans with fewest votes? maybe limit to say 5 max per user - that way slogans with less votes can get easier attention?

I was going to ask the same thing about the new slogans page

My whole slogan processing code ignores every slogan with less then 15 votes. 15 votes are usually achieved by normal voting within 48 hours, so that shouldn't be a problem. The reason is that I don't want these slogans to influence the stats and I also want to give people a chance to delete the really crappy stuff before it appears on the list.

It is difficult to believe, but even members of the OSC, me included, sometimes submit stuff which is no good. I wouldn't want to read through everything. If a member decides before vote 15 that he/she can do better, then I don't want to see the first version.

Now to answer the second of pyko's questions: It seems too little for such a large club. Err... actually every slogan that survives the first 15 votes will appear. Only it might not happen in anything like real time. The thing is that I don't have cron jobs on my very cheap web space. Also my script execution time is very limited. So what do I do?

Every time someone calls up the stats of any member, that member's slogans are updated. Also the slogans of the longest-non-updated member are updated. That way after about 125 visits to the site every sloganeers data got parsed once.

Right now it takes about 4 days for this to happen. Traffic on the site is rising, so I expect to be more real time, soon. Also once I start this profile picture thing, I will use this to trigger updates. That should work perfectly and make for up to date at all times.

And your last suggestion... interesting thought. Should I care about slogans with less then 15 votes? Any more thoughts on this? Would you want to see all slogans? Or just those within a certain percentage range?

This nifty little tool rocks! Good job!

Really good work! Excellent tool, Fool.

hmm, i agree with your 15 votes cut off limit - makes sense and probably encourages more voting (due to automatic culling of really stupid/crappy/silly typos)

maybe, similar to my idea but it is minimum of 15 (with votes of 15 starting at the top of the list?) Also, I think since it is to encourage ppl to vote for more OSC members, I would say limit to 3~5 entries per member - since once you are on the slogan page, you see all their slogans (and if like me I just can't resist but to go through them all and read it!)

A full vote-up across the board for... rbthatcher, TimScribble, Simpletinrobot, HorsefaceDee, colorfool. Hooray, insider brotherhood!

I am commanding my brain to come up with a slogan that will get me back in the top ten.

Curse this feeble mind!
