Forum:When George Bailey stepped in...
Hello.
I am a Sysop of Frikipaideia, the Greek Uncyclopedia. I am also the only person in Frikipaideia to ever be awarded with a WotM award (I translated HTBFANJS in Greek). I don't know if you are with us or against us, but I kinda feel like George Bailey when he asked Henry Potter for help when I'm about to ask you this:
I need your help, Uncyclopedians.
Frikipaideia can be a great place for all of us, I know it. Due to time constraints and personal problems (and, sometimes, lack of inspiration and/or humor), I can't visit and edit Frikipaideia every day. What is more, the Bureaucrats rarely edit the site these days. And who can blame them, since the site is being loaded with cr... sorry, I meant "shit", every single day. Locking quality pages only results in dealing with newly created shitty pages.
I'm not asking you to come around and clean the shit for us, since I think that most of you won't understand jack shit about the shit we're surrounded by. It's all Greek to you, anyway.
What I'm asking is to give me a few tips on how to improve the site. Is there a page where I can see how you did the forums, the hacks on the Main Page and other useful stuff? I doubt Frikipaideia will ever be Greece's Uncyclopedia, but I believe it can be something else than a garbage can.

- Well, I got several ideas. Why dont you start changing things to be more like this uncyclopedia. Start with what you have, then throw in our Vanity policies, The Beginers Guide and some other big policies. Also, in order to increase the Cream:Crap ratio, translate some of our top ten articles into greek to give people a better sence of what to write as funny. But the vanity policies will probably help majorly get rid of the crap. If not, then you've got one major case of WTF on your hands.Lieutenant THEDUDEMAN Dude ...

- Just going through Special:Newpages once or twice a day is huge, and an active VFD system is equally great. You may also want to implement something like our ICU and QVFD. If things are indeed as bad as you say, you could even have a FFW--but that's pretty drastic. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon

- We already have a VFD and a BGBU. I'll consider about the things you two mention, and maybe pimp up our VFD and BGBU to make them look like yours. Thank you for the support. Seems like you DO give a shit about us - it's just that you don't understand our sh... okay, enough with all the scatology. Thank you again. By the way, the word "scatology" is Greek, you knew that? :D --UnfunnyGuy3xtr3m 19:18, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- What's the ratio of admins vs. users over there? ~

420.957 registered users, 7 sysops. According to the statistics, the ratio is 0,00%. --UnfunnyGuy3xtr3m 17:00, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- If you are looking to improve the quality of the content on the site why don't you translate some of our featured articles into Greek? -- Sir Mhaille
(talk to me) - You, my friend, need more ops.--<<

- Yeah, I think Brad's right, (for once...Ooohh, ammonia-and-bleach combinations are harmless, he says...fucking poison gas...) you could prolly use some more ops. You can check out VFS to see how we do it. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 00:18, Mar 14

The forum is done with the DPLForum extension, which you'll need to install to be able to do that. The main page hacks and lots of other similar things are detailed here, if you want to use some of those. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 02:42, 14 Mar 2008
