create a web app that allows us to log when we use the can... fields should include: name, date, time, method (integer), and TP_used (boolean).

The data page showing results should be sortable by the most frequent users.

Do a search for the ATOT birthdays thread. There used to be a web-pseudo calendar in the monthly view listing all the days and the ATOTers name within the day for their birthdays. Beside each day in the view should be an "add" button. Just create an app that will allow us to add our own ATOT names (with admin approval/review of course). I don't know why the previous one went down...

A location database. We enter our zipcode or state and country into the webpage, and it stores it into the database. Then, it provides a graphical representation of all members on the a world map, which can be zoomed in. Would be great to find out the distribution/state and country.

I nominate this idea. Would be a cool.

This had been attempted twice and bravenet also has this feature. But if you want to create one that will actually stick around... go for it.

ok, gonna look into that. But how would I do the validation with the user? I don't have any access to the AT DB. Hhhmmmmmm.

It's all your own dude... but I don't think anyone minds where it's located as long as it's deemed "official ATOT..." and works nicely ;) Validation could be... user throws it into the db via web front end (the calendar add button) with a default setting of '0' for (don't show on calendar). You can then go in there and validate (just make sure it's not a joke) each one by setting them to '1'. Your calendar would obviously show only '1's.

Have you seen those sites like "rate my boner" or "rate my boobs"?

Well build one of those sites for "rate my kitten" (and I'm not talking about felines). :thumbsup:

How about a "nuke" portal system worth a sh!t...

Something with working search engine friendly URLs...

Pull that one off and lots of people would be referring to you as "da man" ...

How about an app for LAN parties so we can get all of those stickied links out of here. It would be nice if there was an app that somone could schedule a LAN party and then AT members could sign up to attend. Have a little news bulletin for each LAN party so whoever is hosting it can update, etc. and attendees can give some feedback.

But so, I would have to validate it with the ATOT member itself to be 100% sure, right? I want something automagically actually ;)

^ that's as automagic as it is gonna get if you want it somewhat controlled... cause people will start entering names like santa clause on christmas day otherwise. You don't have to validate with the member... who wants to lie about their own birthday... it's not like there will be years involved... just month and day. Just validate there's not any mickey mouse bullsh!t going on. ;) If you don't want that validating process, you can assign the procedure to someone else who doesn't mind...
