Do you need to VENT? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Halx · 05-06-2004, 12:50 PM

I was inspired by a story in the news recently about a guy who set up a 900 number for people to call and pay $1.99 per minute for him to listen to them vent about stuff. Immediately, I looked up ventanger.com and discovered that nobody had registered it. Ahah, Says I.

http://www.ventanger.com

I've decided to turn it into a little mini site where people can come to vent their frustrations. It also doubles as a promotion tool for the TFP. It's brand new, so it doesn't have anything in it yet, so I'm hoping that everybody here can contribute to it by either posting a vent or spreading the link around any way they can.

It helps the TFP

World's King · 05-06-2004, 12:55 PM

Hal.

You are the coolest person I know.

Besides me.

clavus · 05-06-2004, 01:04 PM

My god. It's lowbrow.com's angry twin brother!

I like it!!

absorbentishe · 05-06-2004, 01:35 PM

Way to be heads up!! Good goind Hal!

CSflim · 05-06-2004, 02:11 PM

Brilliant!
As it happens I'm perfectly calm right now, but trust me...next time I need to, I will be availing of your service! Kick ass!

Halx · 05-06-2004, 04:11 PM

yeah I made it to sorta bite off of lowbrow.com

HamiC · 05-06-2004, 04:17 PM

Great idea.....I've added my petty gripe.
Feel better already. Thanks.

bernadette · 05-06-2004, 04:24 PM

too bad i didn't find this thread earlier... i could've saved a long distance phone call to a friend i vented out on.

thanks!

BigGov · 05-06-2004, 04:30 PM

I have a question. What exactly would be "inappropriate content" in a vent?

Halx · 05-06-2004, 04:37 PM

ummmmmm ... i dunno.. anything that kinda takes away from the quality of the site..

Phaenx · 05-06-2004, 04:54 PM

I made one about my property manager. That whore.

Phaenx · 05-06-2004, 04:58 PM

You know what would be cool Halx? If you could rate the vents like bash.org.

Halx · 05-06-2004, 05:10 PM

I had thought about a rating system... it's easy enough to implement

gmoot · 05-06-2004, 06:52 PM

This reminds me of a site I saw a few months ago. It was based on the 7 sins and let you choose one and write an anonymous confession. It would then show a random one like your's does.

Anyone have a clue of the site I'm thinking of? I can't remember the url or even the name of it.

Harshaw · 05-06-2004, 07:07 PM

Pure. fucking. genius.

One vent down and I feel better.

BigGov · 05-06-2004, 08:17 PM

2 for me.

Fuck you Comcast

Aletheia · 05-06-2004, 08:20 PM

I 2nd the fuck you to comcast (and charter).

VitaminH · 05-06-2004, 08:26 PM

Ahh feels good to bitch about finals to...someone who will listen.

Hal, this site is an excellent idea. I'll vent when I'm mad

Memnoch · 05-07-2004, 10:07 AM

Hal...thank you so much. This is just what I needed, right now.

Halx · 05-07-2004, 10:38 AM

the site is almost a day old... it's doing fairly well.. just need more people passing the link around

absorbentishe · 05-07-2004, 11:46 AM

I just put my most frusting work thing up there!! Great site, have sent it around to several peps now...

Halx · 05-07-2004, 12:23 PM

just added a rating system

carrot glace · 05-07-2004, 03:56 PM

cool site, when im pissed ill be sure to vent there

crow_daw · 05-07-2004, 06:56 PM

I must say, that is a really good idea. Gone come in handy.

SixEdxMia · 05-07-2004, 07:29 PM

Ever seen... notproud.com?..not site plugging.. just directing you thatta way... quite... similiar. and I <3<3<3 it. I posted a vent...I wanted to post two.. it didnt let me wtf?

Halx · 05-07-2004, 08:31 PM

There is a time limit when you post.. you cant post twice in 15 min and if you try again within the 15 min, it resets the timer.

Strange Famous · 05-07-2004, 11:55 PM

I vented, a little, I feel greater levels of anger and self pity are still within me though.

WarWagon · 05-08-2004, 01:23 AM

I vented, but I still have that undying urge to hit something. That site needs a virtual punching bag.

Latch · 05-08-2004, 03:40 AM

I vented. Great idea Halx.

Halx · 05-08-2004, 09:31 PM

things have definately improved since i added the rating system.. vent vent vent!

flamingpeach · 05-08-2004, 10:41 PM

oh.iventedalright!

Cynthetiq · 05-09-2004, 04:46 AM

great with the rating system, but after I rate it, shouldn't I get to see the next vent automatically?

Halx · 05-09-2004, 01:04 PM

you would like that, wouldn't you?

I figured it was better to display a confirmation because of the way the rating information is sent from page to page. People are less likely to hit the refresh button when they see the confirmation, thus lessening the chances of them attempting to vote for the vent more than once.

isis · 05-09-2004, 02:40 PM

Ahh, I feel better already!

Tholo · 05-09-2004, 08:23 PM

BRILLIANT!
