Well, I just got everything installed and set up. LispForum is now open for business. Please have a good time. :)

Re: Welcome

Looking good so far :ugeek:

Re: Welcome

Maybe:
  
  (defclass people ()
    ((ideas :accessor ideas :initarg :ideas)
     (fun :accessor fun :initarg :fun)))

  (defun lispforum (people)
    (list (ideas people) (fun people)))

Re: Welcome

Here's a fix :)
(defun lispforum (people)
  (declare (ignore people))
  (list 'ideas 'fun))

Re: Welcome

Ha! Yes, indeed. I actually went through about 5 different little functions to try to find something that would work well with the aspect ratio that was used for the default phpBB logo. That was the best I could come up with. But yes, having a warning saying that people weren't used probably isn't what I was going for. In the spirit of Lisp, perhaps a high-order function is more appropriate:
(defun lispforum (people)
    (funcall people 'ideas 'fun))

Re: Welcome

Hmmm... Upon reading that quickly, I don't think funcall really works well. It sort of elicits a "funcall of you, too" sort of response. ;)

Maybe:
(defun lispforum (people)
    (apply people '(ideas fun)))

I don't know about that. I thought using people was bad.
