1.1 Starting Out
The Thread Indexer was created such that it would become possible to more effectively manage the thread's ever-increasing material, by switching to an individual system of indexing. Essentially, this solution combines the DYI factor of updating one's own works by oneself, and also the so-called 'combined works' factor by having everyone's
1.2 Ground Rules
Firstly, following the reading of this message, you will be informed that this account is, effectively, the property of Outer Cadia Zwei and its various denizens. Everyone is root-admin on this account, so:
First - Responsibility. Do NOT tamper with anyone else's index unless authorized. If you do, be sure that you WILL be found out, and you WILL suffer for it. This is not an empty threat. We're all sensible people, I trust. Second - Organization. Please do not be messy. That makes life hard for everyone, both you and the rest of us. Civil society, please.
1.3 How This Works
There are two steps to the function of the Index:
1. Individual Indexing:
For Old Stuff: If you already have an existing external Index which you update regularly enough for it to be current, hook it up to the central index via the hyperlink system. If not (and if you're too lazy to make your own), put your old stuff up yourself on this page. Bug ghaz to send his source text to this account if you want the Old List FULLBLOWN.
For New Stuff: Copy View Single Post link, log-in to this account, and put up the link yourself on your subpage. If you can't, send a PM. Central Admin (LokiScylla) will attempt to handle it. May result in delay or backlog, of course, so it's not the first choice
What Happens When We Have Too Many Works?: New post, duh. Talk to the hand.
How do I keep track of what's happening?: Don't be funny here...you own this account. You mean you can't keep track of one or two posts? And if you're that lazy, save this post, and keep going back to that hyperlink that says "Unlimited OC Works". The saved page will remain outdated, but not the real content.
2. The Cadia Compendium: For organization's sake, split the stuff into Fic (one shots, series, stuff) and OC (profile). If the two are mixed, then we'll take that too. I'm Looking At You, Gundam. In other news, though, we'll be doing this the old-school way: Alphabetical Order.
1.4 Why The Hell Is This Better?
Well, simply because you can just put your works into a common room instead of sniffing around for your own works and those of others, and you get to be a lazy bum. Just switch over, and posto linku!
1.5 Where to go from here?
UN and PW are kinshi - one for pure fail and one for security. I'll scream it on the chat. Non-chat goers...err, well, PM is in order then...
...Anyway, Look out below!
