Casino Chip of the Day

So I’ve never enjoyed the act of posting new chips, my laziness gets in the way when I have 30+ chips to post. I continued to post because I really enjoyed the comments and discussion back and forth between members. However sadly the last few years we have lost a good number of our posters and the conversation died. There would be times when I posted a new chip every day for 5-7 days and there wouldn’t be a single comment in the thread. The conversation seems to have been revived the last 6 months a little bit which is why I’ve continued. I think that for now I’ll continue to post new chips but I do understand Doc having enough of it after so long. I’m personally on year 10 of this thread and I think it started 3 years before that so he’s been at this a long time.

I always read the posts and enjoy keeping up with the discussion. Sorry for not contributing more comments to keep the thread alive. Also, I have half a dozen chips to contribute that I've been slow to post.

Perhaps a few of us could share the effort to keep the index up to date?

No need to apologize, my comments weren’t directed at anyone.

As far as the updating of the thread index Doc had special privileges that allowed him to edit the thread index. I’m not sure if someone else would be able to edit his chip index unless it was a mod. If it was a mod I think that would work but at the same time I’m not sure if a mod would want to take on that responsibility.

I still feel sorry for failing to support the thread. It was especially helpful to my state of mind during the pandemic.

The prolific chip posters are a behaved bunch. I wouldn't be surprised if the site found a way to let us edit the index. I don't think I would do it alone, but welcome the camaraderie of a joint effort.

Dieter is pretty active in this thread so maybe next time he comes in he will weigh in on the index issue.

Me? Pretty? Hmph.

Technically, a mod could edit it. Editing old threads is a superpower allowed to mods.
Practically, current mods are too busy.

Managing the thread index probably means having an offline database (spreadsheet, whatever) and pushing updates to the website.
The solution likely involves finding someone who wants to manage the thread index and empowering them to do so, rather than finding someone who has the powers and giving them the burden of regularly formatting and posting index updates.

I am not available. Between my "day" job, my casino activities, my family, the bothersome nuisances of staying alive, and regularly checking the forum for trouble, my schedule is already pretty full.
I'm assuming similar situations from other mods, only without the flexibility benefits that my insomnia offers.

So we need one person that would be interested in taking over as the index keeper. Any takers?
