Which results? Forum stats or ATAR (but they aren't out yet) or something else?

Which results? Forum stats or ATAR (but they aren't out yet) or something else?

I think results as in study scores/ATAR results - hence, the "11 days until results, 10 days until VN changes forever...". My bet is that the design of VN will change, the night before results come out. I think the current colour of the website (blue) will remain, though I think the layout of the website will change - i.e. new format. That's my prediction for what will happen.

I could be totally wrong, I just though I'd have a stab. :P

I agree with the whole results thing. Somehow the Forum Vs Notes things shall become more...integrated? I like the colour blue though :)

I hope there is more integration with the Notes section (make that look better too) and Viki (I want to see that going!).

As for the colour, I wouldn't mind  an option of different themes, but this is a very minor issue

Title: Re: The revolution is coming... in 10 days (or less)
Post by: stonecold on December 02, 2010, 11:04:53 pm
I'm sure there will be more surprises, possibly such as display of member results or an archive of results.

But this is strange.  I can sense a forum upgrade/makeover, but I doubt enwiabe would upgrade to an RC. 

Surely he would wait for the final 2.0 to be released, which is not available yet.

Clue #3: Not *so* much a clue as introducing you all to a new Administrator with the title of Chief Technical Officer, Vortex (whose real name is 'David') and hails from Florida in the USA.

Say howdy!

At a guess, somebody wrote a nifty little applet or altered the forum code or whatnot to integrate viki/notes section into the forum

No, I only joined the forum 6 months ago, whilst the idea was made in 2009 sometime

I just think it is a really good idea and maybe in the future, can replace the Notes section. It provides the following (if used well):
1. General info on nearly all subjects
2. Tutorials (in words, pics or vids) on key/hard concepts
3. Could be an organised place to get exams and other resources
4. Links to other good websites
5. And anyone could contribute!

Seems like a great idea (much like this forum was a few years back!)


EDIT: I actually joined the forum around 5 months ago, my mistake

If it was there would be a large group of people who know about it. So the fact that even the mods have not been told rules that out.

But still hope, if you wish. ;)

Post by: chansthename on December 04, 2010, 02:09:29 pm
3. Could be an organised place to get exams and other resources

The exams will not happen. The Viki is a great idea, we just need it to be filled, even if only with stuff taken directly from the forum.
VN should not been seen to endorse copyright infringement via active distribution of trial exams. At the same time members (such as myself) would prefer that we did have trial exams on here. and therefore turning a blind eye on the forums is not too bad but having a designated area is not acceptable.

Do we want Tasmanians or Sydney-siders on the forum?

We'll have to adopt less complex forum language (maybe just lol and atm, anything else would be pushing it) to meet their intellectual needs.

Trust me what's happening is wroth the hype :) Keep discussing. Most of what you've all been writing has not been correct but within the speculation have been an idea or two that I'm actually trying to incorporate...

(And really all I was hoping for was some buzz and excitement!)

Again, I wish I could clarify and explain but you'll see why it was all kept hush hush when it happens :D

At the moment there are just a few members who are proponents and they easily sustain some huge discussions. There must be many more who would join that category Australia wide.

For the uni stuff, it would be fine (if not beneficial)

But do want random Tasmanians (for example) flooding our Foundation Maths/Methods (if they dare) threads with questions like:

I was merely pointing out that the primary source of pain originates from some physical damage.

Oh yeah obviously. Lol there would be no pain if there was no physical damage but people misassociate physical damage and pain: they think that oh they've scraped themselves there must pain from THAT....when in-fact its the neurons in your body telling your brain so if you could control your neurons to shut up, you'd feel no pain: basically anesthise yourself :P

And for the caption to your dp: pain may be mental, but tissue damage is physical.
Ehem. What is pain? Neurons telling your brain that your hurting. Theoretically if you could control your brain, you could control your pain. Even if you had tissue damage as physical, there would be no pain...in theory of course :P

That is also a physical process though, is it not?

I was merely pointing out that the primary source of pain originates from some physical damage.
Oh yeah obviously. Lol there would be no pain if there was no physical damage but people misassociate physical damage and pain: they think that oh they've scraped themselves there must pain from THAT....when in-fact its the neurons in your body telling your brain so if you could control your neurons to shut up, you'd feel no pain: basically anesthise yourself :P

Well, the pain IS from the damage. The neurons are just the middle man. :P

It's like a fire alarm, the alarm is a warning. It was set off only because of the fire. Would you argue here that the alarm is not from the fire?



And woo, revolution. Can't wait for that. :D

Ahah but see if you could control the fire alarm to not got off, you'd never know there was a fire....but then the alarm wouldn't go off if there was no fire in th first place...true! :P I think I shall edit it...but my main point was why can't we anesthetize ourselves..:(

They won't be disappointed. There's a reason that only a select few people know what's happening. I don't think people understand that there are only 5 people (including myself) who are in on this. Most of the mod team is entirely in the dark. Though I should clarify that they will know 2 days beforehand.

Mmm, that'd require him to compensate the students individually and there's no guarantee they'd be interested.

Perhaps VN will integrate to become more of a facebook style process, where the discussion threads can be accessed through individual profiles etc and results are combined into your profile as info

Results: used to pick top students.
Tom Harvey: performed an autopsy on Einstein (and most famously, studied his brain). A metaphor perhaps? Current students being able to learn from the best in the state?

I think you're on to something there. I know that VN has money lying around, so perhaps paying those top students (to avoid people cbfing due to laziness) to write their success tips etc?

Considering there is a change of code in the backbone that is being done by the CTO (chief technology officer?) and enwiabe it should be more than a theme. The fact that they want a graphics designer indicates that any new theme shall be custom made rather than just found on the internet.

I couldn't find anything on a tom harvey who is a CTO (didn't look very hard)

Title: Re: The revolution is coming... in 5 days (or less)
Post by: pi on December 08, 2010, 01:21:40 pm
This was the criteria last time:
Quote from: enwibe, the CEO
Hi all,

As we near the end of the year, it suddenly occurs to me that I've gotta start this process of picking and screening new candidates for the moderator positions. Sadly this year we've lost a couple of wonderful people from the moderator staff who are off, pursuing other things in the next stage of their lives, and so we've got to fill the holes that they've left.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to be as active on VN this year as I was last year and in 2007, so I have not been able to see many of the abundantly helpful members strut their stuff.

This is why, for the first time ever, I'm actually going to have you guys apply! And we're really looking for some humanities applications. Requirements for moderators of these subjects/sections will probably be a bit more lax.

There are 3 types of positions up for grabs.

1) Global Moderator - Moderates the whole of VN. This is a position of immense trust on my part in you. Only responsible people will be selected for this position. You've got to be incredibly active for this position (should have at the very least 500 posts, but ideally 800+) and be very helpful in a wide variety of subjects.
2) Section Moderator - Must have good proficiency in at least two, but preferably three subjects covered in your section. Must be seen to be helpful and active in the boards within your section
3) Subject Moderator - Must have completed the subject you are applying for by the end of 2008 and be extremely knowledgeable in your subject matter. Must be very helpful to members with questions.

Here are the rules. If you do not follow these to the letter, I'm sorry to say that that will automatically disqualify you:

1) You must have at least 200 posts and have been a member for at least 2 months to apply. The reason being is that you must be an established member of the community to become a moderator. We don't want to hire anyone from off the street and put them in a position of responsibility! If you have less than 200 posts/2 months membership, PM me and I'll tell you if it's worth applying.

2) In order to apply, post a reply to this post according to the following format. The stuff in red text is my instructions to you on how to fill that section out/an example of how to fill it out:

Finishing/finished VCE: Year you finished/will finish VCE
Position(s) desired:  Place these in preferential order, e.g.
1) Global Moderator
2) Section Moderator (Business)
3) Subject Moderator (Accounting)
4) Subject Moderator (Economics)
5) Section Moderator (LOTE)
6) Subject Moderator (LOTE: Japanese)
7) Subject Moderator (Mathematical Methods)

That would be an example of someone who did well in Accounting, Economics and Japanese's preferences. Of course, you don't have to put "Global Moderator" or "Section Moderator" in your preferences, you may just be content with moderating the one board, but this example is just to showcase how you're supposed to apply to the various positions on offer.  


3) THE ABOVE INFORMATION IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED IN YOUR APPLICATION, NO MORE, NO LESS. POSTING ANYTHING MORE (e.g. talking yourself up)/LESS WILL RESULT IN DISQUALIFICATION OF YOUR APPLICATION.

I would go for Global or maths if I could.

De.railing.

As an insight, nominations usually open a week or two after results. Us mods are fairly active in our own subject boards, and we take note in potential mod materials throughout the year. When nominations open, we usually have an internal thread of mods making our own recommendations, and then Mr CEO makes a decision.

But it appears now that Ms HRO will be making that decision. Grats Ms HRO on all the new title/powah. :P

That's enough mod talk for now, it's not appropriate yet.

Well, of the 20,711 members, only 3,457 have ever posted, so I'd say in terms of valid e-mails, the number of people axed would be at least 2/3 of all members.

Cause Americans know their shiz. =p

I don't think VCENotes will go "global". Wasn't the purpose of this website designed for VCE students?.. students in the Victorian education system. I don't see how in any way it would benefit students in the US. =p If anything, my hunch is that VCENotes will go national rather than global. For that reason below.

A National Curriculum for schools in all states and territories of Australia, from Kindergarten to Year 12, is currently being developed. The first stages are scheduled to commence in 2011.

Definitely don't believe you, you patrol every thread since 2007.

No, just no.

No, again.

The only threads I have gone through pre-2010 are in spesh, and they were late '08 threads on some specific concept that was troubling me.

We briefly discussed it at the VN meet the other day. It definitely has the potential to be awesome, but it's not awesome yet.

It would be cool if we could get people to start talking in the National forum section to make it look less plain (to a new user it looks very mediocre), additionally if the non-education discussion could be moved to the national page, it would look ALOT more like a massive community.

At the moment if you are a Western Australian student, unless out of curiosity you click the link, you will be oblivious to the bustling community that is VN.

This would get more people to stick around and post :)

Also the impression  may have been given that there would be multiple things :P

All said, the new layout of the "notes" is ownage :D

To be honest, i think it's great news for AN as a business but not really of massive benefit to students. Of course this might attract more members and make the community better, but I was expecting more. ATAR Notes was quite an obvious progression. I think many members would've liked at least an upgrade to SMF 2, even though it is a superficial change. So yeah, take the feedback onboard :D

Well the feedback I've liked so far is from taiga which is to take the off-topic discussion to the National forum. And, we will move the database tables tonight and have that going.

As for SMF 2... I'm not going to upgrade to it while it's only a release candidate. Once they release SMF 2.0.0 officially, we'll work on manually updating. The CTO will try to do it and if he can't (because we've hacked the SMF 1.1.9 software to pieces so hard that the automatic updater is going to take one look at it and go "wtf mate" and go ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR), then I might pay Daniel Lo Nigro some money to make the upgrade :P

There is almost no change for us. It's good, but so far all that users have had is teething problems with the new site.
When the other state boards get bustling with activity it'll be good..

One thing I fear though is that some state boards will become as the VCE section of BoS was: desolate. I know there's nothing you can do to stop that except try and get word around to encourage new members to join, but it just sucked on BoS. As I've said before, that's one thing I never want for VN (Now AN, I suppose.).

Though this will only be temporary - once the national curriculum is implemented state boundaries will be dissolved, and we will become one massive, coherent community :D

Only then will we see the true benefit of this transition.

Maybe you think the really exciting part is that you are now Mr CEO ? :P

You said something in your subconscious that you were trying to suppress from being said and therefore expressed your true inner feelings. Or is it from the unconscious?

AGAIN LOLwut. I'm totally perplexed by your question. :(

I'll say "no comment" for fear of incriminating myself. :P

EDIT: FAIL.

Other Mini suggestion to get everything integrated together in order to get VN to expand into the AN community would be to get VN to appear as a subboard of AN in the portion where it is like:

VCE Notes > End-of-year Exams Discussion > Exams Discussion 2010 > Business Management

Instead

ATAR Notes > VCE Notes > End-of-year Exams Discussion > Exams Discussion 2010 > Business Management

may help to integrate everything.

And also expanding to IB would allow interstate and international people to mingle AND exchange notes :)

The other suggestion I made on the AN forum was to try and get an idea of what components of the course in VCE can be related to HSC, WACE, etc. subjects, that way interstate people can exchange notes + tips in that fashion as well :)

It's all the white space around the old VN part. Also wastes screen life. xD

If you guys want the forum to look different why don't you make a theme and show it to enwiabe instead of complaining about it?

Show some initiative.

It's not really much of a change for us existing users besides the notes being overhauled so in-terms of what the established user base got out of it, it wasn't very much.

I'm also not sure how well some of the state forums will catch on, as someone already mentioned, we have a very strong VCE community, it might sort of be like bos where they had a strong NSW community but a smallish VCE community.

Anyway i think the new website will shine come the national cirric
