Flood Script - Leaky Homepage Ring

[Bakartridge]

what happens if it fills all the way? O.O
does the page just get flooded?

[DiffydaDude]

Lol this is cool but i think its kind of annoying with the water, so i just blocked the element in ublock
Can there be a button to turn off the flood element?

[e-]

when a page floods it should capsize and sink to the bottom of the web ocean with the deep ocean beasties

making stuff that floats on top of the water like boats or a rubber duck or something?

Yesss this was my first thought when I was making it, but I wanted to just get it finished first, it should be pretty easy to add though

I think having some reaction to a full flood would be cool!

Oh no! He's drowning!! 

[Melooon]

Oh no! He's drowning!! 

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to unsee this

It just kept happening by accident and it was too funny to me to not share lmao

Quick question I noticed, how come sites leave the flood list on occasion? It seems that every time my site gets flooded, it gets taken off the list. As well as some other sites I notice aren't always listed, it seems the website list kicks off anyone at 100%, since it's a lot shorter of a list today than when I checked the other day. I like the idea of the webring, but it is a little inconvenient that every time I check my page it's completely underwater. I feel like an abandoned shipwreck ;_;

If a site is not bilged for 8 hours it will be delisted since the server assumes that the script might have been removed from the site - if it's bilged it should re-appear on the list! Maybe there's a better way to do this though!

I really like the idea of this, but I decided, instead of trying to drain the flood, why not increase the size of the flood? So that's what I made:

I like to think of it as trying to fill a tank of water. I'm quite proud of it. The only thing I would change currently is making it more intuitive. Usually when the flood is at 100%, people see a lot of water, but on my site you see no water at all at 100%. I think this confuses people, and leads to them not doing anything (instead of clicking the "flood" button)

i have decided to have a flood on my neocities site.

At first I didn't understood the point of flooding pages. It seemed more of a bother than anything else. Sure it was funny but I quickly dismissed it as something that isn't for me.

Now that I've thought about it with an open mind, I finally added it to my website and made a dedicated page. It's called "La piscine" ("The Pool" in french.)

I wanted to include it in a way that would be part of something, either fun or aesthetic but my very limited knowledge of Javascript quickly kicked my butt back. But with proper help, I managed to make a more simple thing that still uses the flood as the main element.

I present to you : "La Piscine".

Perhaps it"s a deep metaphor of me feeling drowned by other people's cooler code stuff (represented by the neverending flood). Or it could just be the feeling of not knowing what is going on at the scale of the universe, going left and right in the vast sea of existence, managing to wander aimlessly while trying to understand life, universe and everything else. Or it could be just a goofy page I made for funsies because the sound of flushing the water hits a relaxing spot inside my ears and I want to flush it whenever I want while my picture boings around, like in a big trampoline !

It's all up to you but I've finally to make something that doesn't have a real purpose beside "because it is what it is and that's anything you want it to be".

Thanks for the script Melon

It's fun, but can get a bit annoying if a page hasn't been un-flooded in a while. I think it would be neat to be able to remove it all at once (flush it?), especially since it prevents you from clicking on links and stuff.

I think this is the ideal setup. Putting it on the homepage can make navigation hard, so a dedicated page for it is a genius idea!

This was actually the point The flood ring came out a conversation with a friend about the idea of how all code is essentially a promise that it will do something. We have this social expectation that a promise should be supportive or helpful in some way; but I wanted to make script that would promise to cause problems! Essentially its a deceitful promise; it offers you entry into a lil club, but it also damages your usability ~ yet from that there is a sort of collective effort, where visitors and the site owner have to work together to keep the site functional.

If the script is annoying you; that means its doing its job, after that its your job to manage the script. You can delete it, mop up the site, hide it in a box, adblock it, whatever! ~ the fun is in solving the issue and turning a difficulty into a positive, while dealing with the inherent faults that all these solutions contain

I see! I'm just a bit concerned on how this would pan out in the future- I usually mop up the sites I come across just so others have an easier time, but from my experience not many seem to do the same. Maybe it's just not my thing...

Ah, well. For all my opinion's worth, I think it's a pretty impressive and creative script.
