Last Drop Thread

S3RO · 04-30-2008, 03:26 AM

With Brutal's new tool we can see the last drop without relying on triple posts, fake drops, missed drops, and all the other problems. My suggestion is to close last drop thread, and just leave a link to the last drop script that brutal made.

Site is here
http://www.taorankings.com/drop.pl

If there are any problems with the site working, the last drop page can always be opened back up for last drop posting.

I dont think that would be good cause its in EST and you have to convert time zones and with the military format and what not...

It gives you the following data up top :
Last Drop:02:14:54
Average:04:58:59
Maximum:07:21:29
Minimum:01:48:28

Which means you can see how long ago the last drop was, in this case 2 hours and 14 minutes. Which is easier then calculating the time from the last post for yourself.

the last drop thread is here for when the bot misses a drop, which it does do

Looks like its at 100% accuracy from going down the list of drops. I think there is more human error in missing drops then the bot. At the very least link it to the front page of the last drop if it hasn't been done already.

I agree with S3RO, With site of brutal, no one need more the thread "The Last Drop".

Duraza · 04-30-2008, 04:26 AM

and I agree with Red, sometimes computer programs have errors. If it misses one, it's good to have a "backup" to handle things

2 last drops can't hurt.

I think close it and if something happens with the tao rankings bot it is reopened

Well, it can be basically summed up by the following:
Pros to Having Both:
More accurate, less chance of missing drop.
Con to having just bot: It may miss a drop
Con to having thread, or just thread: Spammy triple posts, misreported drops, missed drops.

Either way, having the link up is a easy plus. I already use it, so it doesn't affect me whether the thread is closed.
