So, what's happening?

Stuff.


But seriously, most of us admins are putting the app store to good use working on some... secret projects.

You'll like them.

Also, don't worry, we haven't forgotten about the features that didn't make it into 2.0, they will be coming in the next release.

Winter Charity

By SLEDGE on December 19, 2013


Every 19 seconds, a baby dies because it didn't have drinkable water.

Donation Page


SOCIALCU.BE IS A GREAT COMMUNITY. MOST USERS ARE LESS THAN 18, BUT WITH ENOUGH EFFORT WE CAN FIX TWO PEOPLES LIVES.

If we exceed $20, that will give water to somebody who doesn't have it. If we get to $40, two peoples lives will be drastically improved. Each set of $20 through this charity provides TWO DECADES of clean water to somebody who doesn't have it.

Please watch this short video to get an idea of how important this cause is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCHhwxvQqxg

If you donate and help us reach the goal of $40, I will give everybody who donated(at least a dollar) a medal on their profile that shows off your generosity.

Anybody who donates $10 will receive a gold medal on their profile. This will show you are the generous of the generous.

THE TWO BEST PARTS:

1) 100% of your donations go directly to the people in need. All the administration and hosting fees for this charity are paid by other means, your money helps these people directly.

2) After we've provided the money near the end of winter, they will begin work helping these people. They will SEND US PICTURE AND GPS COORDINATES of the people we helped. When somebody clicks the medal on your profile, they will be sent to a dedicated page WHERE THEY WILL SEE WHO YOU HELPED.

Now if you need a better reason to donate, I will be matching all your donations at the end of the campaign. That means for every dollar you donate, I will donate one(up to $50). You sacrifice $5, and the charity gets $10. Ask your parents to help you donate to this cause, it is a charity and they will most definitely say yes.

BONUS: All donations made before Christmas, I will matchx2. Every dollar you donate, I will donate two. You donate $5 and the charity will get $15. Hurry up before Christmas is over!

The goal of $40 is relatively small, but it will help two people that need help, and that is amazing. Every dollar counts, so please do whatever you can. Ask your parents for help if you don't have a credit card.

I will be editing this with more tiers and rewards later on as I formulate them. Keep checking back


PS: If you are a visitor that is not part of SocialCu.be, your donation will be even more appreciated. If you ever do join the site, we'll make sure you get your rewards.

PPS: I put in a few dollars to get the ball rolling, your turn!

ATT: WHEN YOU DONATE, PLEASE PUT A RECOGNIZABLE NAME AS YOUR LAST NAME. IF YOU ENTERED YOUR FULL NAME DURING SOCIALCU.BE REGISTRATION, THAT WILL BE FINE. WE MUST HAVE A RECORD TO MATCH TO YOUR DONATION FOR YOU TO RECEIVE A MEDAL.

Dev Section

By SLEDGE on December 15, 2013
So a while back I introduced the developer section of Cu.be. It basically puts all the coding stuff on a different part of the site as not to confuse new users, and to prevent spam submissions.

It broke a while back, but I needed it for the future link to app submissions so I fixed it.

Anyway, you can mess with themes again.
developer.socialcu.be

And for those wondering about the PHP/API section, that was something I was working on forever ago. It makes it so you can login with Cu.be on other sites(that want to use it). Kind of like the login with facebook or google things you find all over the place now.
But I thought about it and realized nobody would actually use it on their sites so I never quite finished it(it's at like 80%). Just so you know what kind of stuff may eventually show up in that section of the dev panel.

BOT FACE

By SLEDGE on December 2, 2013
<!-- So I had an idea to make a second bot that is more friendly, to help make the site more inviting, to help us help users, give tips, etc..


Some of you loved the idea, some of you didn't like it. Vote yay or nay and next week I'll start work or cancel it depending on your votes.


This would probably not take away from my time developing other parts of the site. Most of the work I have to do I don't really want to, but I like AI/Bot stuff so I would do it &quot;on my own time&quot; so to speak.

Anyway, vote. -->

There was a resounding "Yes" to the bot vote. So now you get to decide what it will look like. I have compiled eight faces to choose from. Feel free to suggest swapped features or whatever("I like 1 but the hair would be better if it was like 3" or whatever). Also submit names. I was thinking some one or two syllable girl name followed by "Bot", like AmyBot, SamBot, etc.

Contest Winner

By SLEDGE on November 28, 2013
So Thanksgiving is here, and it's time to choose the winner of the &quot;Useless Contest&quot;. To win this contest, you were to list a useless product that you can buy for any price at any store. There were three potential candidates, but only one could be the winner.

@umer936's submission definitely stood out.... HD Sunglass Wraparounds. When compared to @heldplayers USB rock it was a hard choice, but I have to give @heldplayer the win. The reasons being wraparounds could maybe be useful as just sunglasses, but mostly because I said a link to the purchase page would give you an edge, and @heldplayer provided one.

So, Heldplayer, choose your prize from the three listed in the previous article. Umer will get second pick because it was so close.

Honorable mention goes to @wellsandlava for his Cup Lock.

Charity Event[edit]

By SLEDGE on November 26, 2013
How many of you have digital money? I'm thinking of something that would be fun to do for 2.0, or maybe Christmas.

With the app we(at least were?) working on, we have been discussing the possibility of purchasing points through in-app purchases(or just through the site for no-android people).
(Points and Reputation are different mind you, so your level would not go up with purchases, but you would be able to buy apps and what not. Maybe bigger purchases would yield you Rep, or a medal, but this is all just swirling around in my brain so we'll see what happens).

Anyway, back to the point of the article. What if I set up a charity goal, and had half the purchases the first few weeks of 2.0 go to that cause. You would get points, help charity, and help the site. Everybody wins.
At the end of the thing I can either choose a good charity, or let you guys decide if you want.

The more I think about it though, I don't know if I'll have the time to get it in for 2.0. So, Assuming 2.0 is far enough away from Christmas we could do this as a Christmas gifting thing. The contest would end Christmas eve, and I would donate the money we raise on Christmas day. The 50/50 split is also flexible, so let me know how much you want going where.


Only worth setting up though if you guys would participate and help get at least $30 for the cause. So, let me know if you can do it, what charities you would like if we did, the split, what our goal should be, etc.

Also staff give your input on how you can help(you can respond in the staff status if it involves other 2.0 stuff)


This just barely came to me and we are short on time so I am posting this publicly so we can all work together to get a decent donation ready in time.

<hr>

Edit/Prize: If we exceed our goal by some currently undetermined amount, I will send the top contributer a SocialCu.be mug, can cooler, or mouse pad.

Details on those here.

A Useless Contest

By SLEDGE on November 21, 2013
What is the most useless thing you can purchase? On the internet, at a drugstore, anywhere for any price(at least $.01). Leave your creative response below, and whoevers response satisfies me the most will receive one of the following prizes, whichever one you choose.


(Steam Key)


(Steam Key)


(Equivalent of 50 Status Posts)

The winner will also receive a medal for his/her profile, to be redeemed when that system is created. I may give medals to runner-ups if it is close enough.

I will announce the winner on Thanksgiving. You get two tries. Start thinking.

Themes

By SLEDGE on November 13, 2013
Because we are revitalizing the CSS here on 2.0, I will probably be putting a &quot;Outdated&quot; message on every current theme when 2.0 comes out. It will be automatically removed when the owner updates it to fit the new styling.

I can also make it so themes can have more than one contributor(so the owner can give edit permissions to friends). Each theme will then hopefully have more time spent on it and be better quality.

And also also, I will probably reset all your themes to the new default as I have no idea how screwed up some of them are going to be with the new design.

Letting you all know now so nobody freaks out later.


Edit: And I am aware that the dev section is not really working anymore. I'll make sure it is back up before 2.0.
