Talk:Fansites

I'm still looking for better ways to upkeep this, as well as make it look nicer. Any ideas, questions, or concerns should go below.

I did a couple of updates; one little thing I'm wondering about. Wouldn't it be appropriate for the current sites to be organized by date? I'd update it, but they might already be organized in some other way.. or maybe I should just resist my perfectionist tendencies..

There's two problems with that. 1. The way the table organizes dates isn't right. 2009 August will go before 2009 January. 2. It's a bit unfair for older blogs (although if they've been active this long then that's impressive) and it kinda gives a matter of "senority" to older blogs, which may not work. It's sorted alphabetically now, and someone is bound to come around with the "12'oBlock Roblox News" and be put on top, but that's for later.

Dates and Alphabetical ordering are the two fairest ways to sort the list, but the date ordering isn't optimal, and most of the dates are guesswork by me. --Briguy9876 18:23, 18 January 2012 (EST)

Okay, I see your point there.

If you can find a way to fix the sorting of dates, then that might be the best way to sort it. --Briguy9876 18:31, 18 January 2012 (EST)

RobloxHQ

The site's quite inactive, isn't it? The last post was in 2010, and the forums were shut down a while ago. Seems like more of a memorial now -- maybe you want to mention something about that?

Yes, I was considering removing it. RobloxHQ has user generated content such as place reviews, but that broke at some point. I also thought about adding an "inactive" section, but there's really no point to linking websites with old Roblox news/content. --Briguy9876 18:44, 18 January 2012 (EST)

Could you check the edit? Otherwise only writers will see the changes. Legend26 (talk | contribs) 19:42, 18 January 2012 (EST)

When adding new sites...

When adding a new site, please place it in the right spot. It's alphabetical by the URL, not the site name. Users can hit the sort buttons to sort it by real names if the please. --Briguy9876 12:37, 24 January 2012 (EST)

HTTPS

Why use the HTTPS protocol for accessing roblox fansites? I highly doubt hackers who just happen to be on the right network are interested in what someone's looking at or commenting on or whatever on a blog.

There's also the fact that some browsers don't support it, and considering most of the people on Roblox probably use outdated browsers, that's a big problem. There's no need for it, and it has disadvantages, even if minor.

There's also the fact that a lot of people have bad connections and HTTPS would make an impact, if not major.

They don't even link to the correct website. :/ - Quenty (talk • April 19)

Chrome also gives me a bunch of SSL warning flags. I suggest an undo. Legend26 (talk | contribs) 18:04, 19 April 2012 (EDT)

If a browser is too old to support HTTPS, it probably won't be able to display the wiki correctly anyway and the user would be unable to play games or view the ROBLOX website properly. Every single browser today supports HTTPS. As for the loading speed, don't even bother about it. The advantages of HTTPS are definitely worth the extremly slightly increased loading time. As for the SSL warning flags, they appear because the website doesn't support HTTPS properly. Just use HTTP for these websites and use HTTPS for the websites that support it. --JulienDethurens 23:46, 19 April 2012 (EDT)
