Thank you.

For what you said; I think that means something to me, but... well, you should be careful. Such sentiments show weakness, and weakness could do you in when there are rabid moose on the loose. They can smell it, you see. Weakness. Fear. Mangoes. they have a very keen sense of smell, these rabid moose.

As for what happened, a moose got into the IRC channel and I think people may have overreacted a mite, although I wasn't really paying attention at the time. Unless it was a goat? Some sort of misunderstanding, anyhow. 1234 ~ 05:46, 22 May 2011

You're very welcome, Lyrithya. Sometimes one just has to overlook the possible consequences in favor of speaking out for the greater good. Don't ask me what the greater good actually is, because I have no idea. Anyway, sorry for not replying earlier, but I took a short hiatus from the site. I just don't like how harsh this place has become. I know we don't have to lower our standards to ED-level, but I think just about everyone here has started to take this place too seriously. Maybe we're out of ideas... We need to bring back the old atmosphere. We need another brilliant article that can bring us all together! Another Fisher Price or something! -- Sir "TheSlyPony" Invariably certifiable. Rap sheet. [[::File:Sexy_twilight.jpeg|His shameless obsession.]] 09:40 May 26, 2011 (UTC)

Bah, don't apologise for taking awhile to reply... it's all good. Isn't it? Thing is, though, has this place ever not been harsh, really? Reading old dramas, they make for a good read, but I don't think I'd have wanted to be there, you know? But yeah, seriousness... who needs it? If I could make a Taco: namespace, I would.

Considering the drama over those, I'm not sure that would be the best idea, either. It's hopeless. Unless we had a taco namespace. That would solve everything. 1234 ~ 23:07, 27 May 2011

Since "Thank you" is already the title of this section, Thank You! Your kind words on the VFH for Skunk are very appreciated. They make me cry, and now I'm crying on a public street and the large black men are looking at me to do me harm, now my wallet is being passed over to the biggest one, who has "Fuck My Momma" tatted on his forearm. It was worth it though, thanks again! Aleister 18:24 28-5-'11

Browsersidiam

Helllloooo. I saw your comment about IE. It's what came with my computer, or how it was fixed up anyway, and I recently "downgraded" from IE 7 to IE 8 which is giving me all kinds of trouble. People are suggesting different browsers, which browser do you use and suggest? And with this new vector skin, I'm going to miss the tab placements and the search box on the side, so I may just use the old skin. I still don't understand the wide opening in the tabs, and what that's about. Thanks for any advice! Aleister 11:09 21-6-'11

Howdy! :D

I've used Firefox about six years now. I love the all the addons that are available, but AdBlock is my favorite. It's actually possible to block just about every ad on the Internet using this setup. There's also NoScript, which is handy for blocking certain Flash and Java ads on sites like Hotmail. The themes and "Persona" backgrounds are nice, too. Lyrithya says Firefox 4 has wonky coding, but I can see almost no problems with the mockup version of vector (the logo-replace template is kinda buggy, though). I actually used version 3 on my other machine for a long time, since it worked great (and because I was simply too lazy to update it). The new one can be found here and the older one lives here.

If you want to broaden your horizons, I hear Chrome is a good, minimalist one. I've never tried it, but it was created in a vein similar to Firefox. It can be found here. As for the old skin, I actually like it, too. It has a certain old school look that isn't seen much anymore. I switched over because I've been here for four years (behind the scenes for three of them) and figured it was time for a change.

Anyway, If you need help with a new browser, you can always find me here. :D -- Sir "TheSlyPony" Invariably certifiable. Rap sheet. [[::File:Sexy_twilight.jpeg|His shameless obsession.]] 11:46 June 21, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the write-up. Adblock and noscript sound good, I have some kind of ad block code but it's gone schizo on me. My main and huge problem now is that I use google as a search engine, and whenever I type in a site name the thing is redirecting to full page ads and ad sites (I've never clicked on an ad, and now it's automatic!). It takes usually over half a dozen attempts to get to uncyclopedia or other sites I use, and general searching and site hopping is just about killed off because of this redirect thing. Have you heard of that before? or any suggestions. Thanks, and I'll study up on Firefox (Firebox?) too. Some people suggest Chrome. There must be a perfect skin and browser in paradise!!! There just must be!! Aleister 12:27 21-6-'11

Ah, yes. I used to help people with such a problem all the time. It sounds like a textbook case of spyware infection to me. They're not really viruses because they don't cause any damage your machine (usually), but some particularly nasty ones can have virus-like behavior. And while I doubt the narrow, yet hardly straight path of the Mormon Trail will be of any use to you, I think a good old antispyware should do the trick. It works just like an antivirus; some of these have real-time protection, some are on-demand only. And some are integrated into your antivirus.

The first step is to get rid of any nasties lurking on your machine. Usually a combination of Ad-Aware and Spybot S-D, will remove most of them and restore your Web functionality. Once that's done, you can install one that has real-time scanning (just don't install two real-time scanners at once!). Ad-Aware has one, but last time I checked, it was only in the paid version. Many of the free security suites out there have spyware scanning built into them now. Comodo is one such example--apparently, they now have a Web browser which has some built-in security functionality. Most antivirus companies have toolbars that will add this type of security ("THIS WEBSITE IS BAD, MR. ALEISTER! DANGER! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!").

Speaking of which, most spyware can be avoided by staying away from anything that looks suspect. "Free" toolbars not made by somebody reputable like an antivirus developer or Google or some-such, tend to have spyware in them. Use protection caution. Though the protection might not be a bad idea... -- Sir "TheSlyPony" Invariably certifiable. Rap sheet. [[::File:Sexy_twilight.jpeg|His shameless obsession.]] 18:27 June 21, 2011 (UTC)

FROM THE DESK OF GUILDENSTERNENSTEIN

Thank you for supporting my 40th featured article.

Much Thanks for making Padmé

Your support is what made Padmé!

Thanks...

For the nomination! I wasn't sure it was done, only that I didn't have the time to do more with it. I originally envisioned the ads being inside a television or on a billboard, but I don't have the design chops to make it happen. --T. (talk) 13:38, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, no problem! You did a great job on it. A billboard or TV might make it a bit more snazzy, but it works very well as it is. Still, maybe we could post something to Image Requests to see if someone can figure out an image and some code so it would work. And congratulations that it's now Featured! -- Sir "TheSlyPony" Invariably certifiable. Rap sheet. [[::File:Sexy_twilight.jpeg|His shameless obsession.]] 18:10 July 14, 2011 (UTC)

Summer Contest

Yeah, i'm in your group and I have an idea. UnBooks:Our Family Vacation.

The article (or book, in this case) is in the style of a photo album. The album shows signs of fail photos, odd captions, and terrible photography.

Contact me on my talkpage about this. Cheers, and GO TEAM AWESOME! -- Lollipop - CONTRIBS - WRITINGS - SHOP - Now adopting! - 06:04, 15 July 2011

Hey man...awsome that you are going to do the competition. But...please man...dont plan anything until it starts (don't share ideas with the other contestants as nothing is supposed to be talked about or written beforehand...I hope you understand!). I'm sure you'll do well. It will be a fun challenge. --ShabiDOO 11:31, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, didn't know. -- Lollipop - CONTRIBS - WRITINGS - SHOP - Now adopting! - 20:12, 15 July 2011

Ah, my apologies. I had no idea. This is my first competition. I guess I'm still a noob around here in some ways! Anyway, thanks for letting me know! -- Sir "TheSlyPony" Invariably certifiable. Rap sheet. [[::File:Sexy_twilight.jpeg|His shameless obsession.]] 21:18 July 15, 2011 (UTC)

Hey...dont worry...theres no general rule. However, as far as I know...contestants arent supposed to write anything before hand. Theres no reason why they can't brain storm in their own mind...but the actual writing is supposed to start on the actual day. I guess that would apply for team mates talking amongst each other as well. Though...Ill ask Joe what he thinks and if he says that the contestants can at least debate about what topic to use...then thats fine (though communicating about the competition via IRC or chat...would be totally out of the question). You can...however, send us your credit card information...to...um...confirm that you are infact who you say you are. Which...we can't know...until we get those numbers, and the expiry date, and those three digits on the back. And your mailing address. Oh...and we need to know if its a visa or mastercard (we dont accept anything else). CHEERS! Oh and a great Friday night (do go out and meet girls hey!?) --ShabiDOO 23:24, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, I see... Well in that case, I'll just give you the same card number I give everybody who asks me for it on the Internet!

Name: John H. Smith.

Number: 1234 5678 9010 1112

Card type: MasterPimp (seriously, I saw that on an old bumper sticker once, complete with two overlapping circles).

Address: One Microsoft Way.

Anyway, thanks for clearing that up with Joe. Hope your Friday night goes well! -- Sir "TheSlyPony" Invariably certifiable. Rap sheet. [[::File:Sexy_twilight.jpeg|His shameless obsession.]] 07:07 July 16, 2011 (UTC)

Okay Lollipop, it seems the rules have been slightly modified. We're now allowed to come up with titles for the first two articles, without discussion beyond that. Shall we stick with Our Family Vacation and Don "Juan" Henley's "Toys of Summer" or some such? -- Sir "TheSlyPony" Invariably certifiable. Rap sheet.

I do not care at all. I'm up for whatever. - ho scopato tua madre nel culo - 13:51,29July,2011

Okay, so when do we start the articles? -- Lollipop - CONTRIBS - WRITINGS - SHOP - Now adopting! - 01:29, 1 August 2011

We can start on it right now. Let's write "Our Family Vacation" first, since we have a more solid idea for it. We can work on it as soon as you're ready. If it's all right, it would probably be best for you to start the basic framework for it, then we can all build on it. Is it going to be in separate pages like ToddiPhone Viral Marketing Campaign? -- Sir "TheSlyPony" Invariably certifiable. Rap sheet. [[::File:Sexy_twilight.jpeg|His shameless obsession.]] 04:48 August 1, 2011 (UTC)

I'm getting on it right now. Also, we need a fourth group member. -- Lollipop - CONTRIBS - WRITINGS - SHOP - Now adopting! - 23:20, 1 August 2011

Hmm... I think it's too late for anyone to sign up now. Maybe we'll have a handicap of some sort when things are judged. In any case, I'm thinking about what to do with the second article... Parodying a song "Weird Al" style is harder than I thought. If you've got any ideas for a second article, I'm all ears. -- Sir "TheSlyPony" Invariably certifiable. Rap sheet.

I admit you've got me curious now. Why is this tagged with {{FFW}}? And what do you suggest we do with the pages it's used on? – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • critchat) 17:14 Jul 26, 2011

Well, I noticed it was used on Doom (1993 video game), which is already overloaded with pictures. I figured since this 2005 Photochop looks it could use a redo, it wouldn't be missed. However, it seems I neglected to notice it is currently in use on people's userspaces. I should go and remove that tag now...... -- Sir "TheSlyPony" Invariably certifiable. Rap sheet.

"SIGN UPS HAVE ENDED!! And Round One has been extended by three more days due to incompetent bastards not finishing!

Exactly three days after that post would be 9:10, August 12. Since our article was finished at exactly 5:08, August 12, it was finished four hours and two minutes before the extended deadline.
