in reply to Would it make any sense to add "graduation announcement(s)" in the nodelets?

I like this idea a lot.

Enough so, that I might actually implement it.

I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.

    Yea, I just thought some of your users might like to see their names up in lights.

    Heh, maybe even mesg a virtual tankard of mead to everyone. OK, maybe just those who graduated. :)

    my $perl_version = (5.12.5);

      Well, you already get a message in your XP nodelet when you level up. (Technically, only on the day you level up, and only in about 1 out of 4 page-loads, on average.)

    On the flip side.

    What about implementing the Alienator. A routine, perhaps the reaper, could monitor offensive Anonymous users. Mark their IP, for say 3hrs. and convert their name to Anonymous Troll. Also seems appropriate for the theme/times -- humiliating them in public, a sort of Cast them to the dungeon kind of thing.

    Just a thought. Seemed like it might be fun. In fact, I think I just might create a Module that could aid in such a routine. <evil grin>

    EDIT: To make it even more inflammatory, the color could be red, and even blink. OK. Maybe blink isn't such a great idea. ;)

    #!/usr/bin/perl -Tw
    use Perl::Always or die;
    my $perl_version = (5.12.5);
    print $perl_version;
