Site News & Announcements
Statistics
24th September 2024Ever since I started working on this site there has been one thing I've wanted to create, but it was always low priority. At the time I'm writing this we've got 5,340 media entries containing 8,037 scenes. The question is what are some other interesting things we can do with this data? We can probably learn some things. Have you ever wondered for example, if more men pee on things in comedies compared to women wetting themselves in horror? Well now we answer that with some graphs and charts. These can now be found on the new stats page. It turns out the men seem to pee on TV more while in movies it's women (though it's closer to 50/50). Probably unsurprising but we see far more male streams and more women sitting on the toilet. Also the peak for number of scenes seems to have been 2006 (but that might be due to recent data being more incomplete). As the database grows over time these graphs will automatically update to include the new data. You can toggle the display of certain data by clicking on the legend. Clicking on the graph data itself will take you to the related category to browse. If you have any ideas for other graphs to add then please do let me know.
An update on updates
10th September 2024Those of you who visit this site regularly will have noticed that database updates over past year or so have been few and far between. To start with I'd like to apologise for that. It is still my intention to keep hosting this site for the long term, but hopefully you understand that sometimes life can get in the way.
With that out of the way lets talk about the future. My promise going forward is that there will be at least one update per week and if I'm going to be away for longer than a week then I'll post a news post about it here. That is presuming of course that there are any updates waiting in the queue. But I have been consistently surprised at how many entries are still submitted each week and doesn't show any sign of slowing yet. It just goes to show how incomplete the original database was. There's been nearly 2000 new entries since this version of the site first launched.
A common question has been "would you like help moderating the queue?". The answer to this in the long term is probably yes. But at the moment the back end systems aren't really ready for this. I put this site together rather quickly and the main focus was getting the user facing front end functional. The back end admin systems are the bare minimum. There are quirks and workarounds that only really work because I wrote the thing. It would never really make sense to anyone else. There are still regular edge cases which need a manual database edits because there isn't a system for editing it yet. But now I'm back on this site more frequently I can start to develop and improve these systems for the long term. If/when I do form a moderation team, it will be users with a history of good quality submissions/edits to the site who get asked first.
The backlog of new entries and edits is mostly clear now. There are still a handful waiting to be processed but these are special cases which require extra attention. Particularly when it comes to edits they often end up with conflicting information and the only way to be sure is to source and watch the media myself to verify, which takes time. Some times in the past in my rush to clear a backlog I've let some less than accurate entries in and I'm trying to avoid that. If you ever submit something which doesn't appear then it's probably been flagged for additional verification.
Finally, there's the contact form. If you've tried to get in touch recently then unfortunately the message is probably lost in a sea of spam. Coming up with a new option to deal with that is high on the list of things to fix soon. I also have to admit I've been avoiding the message boards a bit knowing there there will be a bunch of messages asking why the site hadn't been updated, but you'll probably see me back there again soon.
Thanks for understanding, now let's look forward to the future.
Technical Hiccups
17th November 2023If you've had a problem logging in to the site in the last month or so I'm sorry about that! This was caused by the regular backup of all the images on the site completely filling up the drive. This has been changed to an incremental system now and so shouldn't be a problem again.
Account Deletion
23rd November 2022It's something which has been asked of me a couple of times but actually implementing a system for has always ended up being put on the back burner. But no more, if you want to delete your account here and have your data removed from the system you can do that now. Simply click the link in the Account section and confirm that you are sure and then you will be logged out and your details will be removed.
Anything you've submitted to the site will remain intact, it will just no longer be associated with an account. Your username, email and password are the only personal details stored, these will be removed.
Random
15th November 2022A user recently asked if it would be possible to browse though entries on the site at random. I thought that was an interesting idea which I had not considered. Today I've added that feature.
At the top right of every view page is a ? clicking that will take you to a random entry in the database, matching your current global filters.
Finding What's New
14th November 2022As you will likely have seen, on the main browse page the five most recent new entries and the five most recent edits are displayed. It was recently pointed out by a user that unless you visit the site every day then it would be easy to miss new additions to the site. If there have been more than five updates in a single day it would be impossible. They asked if it would be possible to see more of the recent additions.
I have now added that option to the site. On the main browse page below each section is a link to view more of the recent new or edited entries. This page will show you all of the new or edited entries from the previous thirty days. If you want to go back further than that then each of the results pages with sorting options now have the option to sort by the date they were added to the system. (For technical reasons you can't do that for edits... yet) The sorting option only allows for newest first sorting. The reverse option wouldn't be particularly useful as all the data imported from the original list has the same added date from Feb 2022 when this version of the site was launched.
Getting in Touch
13th November 2022I recently noticed that the contact form wasn't working correctly and that it has probably been that way for a few months. The problem basically boils down sending email from a private server, Gmail presumes any mail coming from the server to be spam and rejects even receiving it, not just sending it to the spam folder.
It's not been a super urgent issue for me as the form is rarely used and even when it is it tends to be a large percentage of spam anyway.
But I have now changed that system to simply save the messages in the internal backend rather than sending them via email, so now I will get all your messages there again. Also if you have used that form recently and didn't get a response then please do send it again.
You may have seen me post about this site on various forums, another way to contact me is to DM me on those platforms. That's always welcome.
Finally one other option is you can find me on twitter.
Additional note, this is also an issue with the password reset system which I will need to also need to fix in a different way at some point soon. In the meantime if you need that please contact me with one of the options above and I'll get it sorted for you.
Welcome to PML Site News
12th November 2022As I write this it's been 8 months since this new version of the Pee Movie List was launched. So far the response has been great and the site has been far more popular than I ever expected it to be. I want to thank everyone who has visited and in particular everyone who has contributed new entries or suggested edits. I would never had been able to get the site to the over 4000 entries we have now without that help. I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one who sorely missed the original list.
Until now whenever there have been updates to the site I have posted about them in a few forums. However I can see in the statistics that the majority of the visitors to the site now come here directly rather than from links in other place. So I figured it was time that the site had its own place for me to post news and announcements. You'll probably still find me posting any major updates on the forums but this page will now have more regular smaller updates.
Thanks again for a fantastic start to the site and hear's to a long future.
