      Whoops! Maybe you were meaning to ask me a pointless question instead?

About my "Shit-ton" of sub pages

I really don't see what the problem with having an assload of subpages is. The editing pages even say I can use it to my leisure, so I don't suppose I'm breaking some sort of newfangled editing rule... am I? My answer to your question is that I am so lazy when it comes to typing a, pardon my restatement, shit-ton of "html-wiki" markup, that I'd rather have a shit-ton of subpages to make my life easier. Because it's way easier to type "{{User:B1KWikis/SF|YES|150|center}}" than it is to type "<div style="width:100%; height:100%;"><div style="font-family:Times New Roman, 'Meiryo UI', 'Kozuka Gothic Pro EL', 'Kozuka Mincho Pro EL', 'Arial Unicode MS', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'MS Mincho', 'DejaVu Sans', Code2000, 'Y.OzFont', 'Everson Mono Unicode'; font-size: 150px;line-height:1em;text-align: center">YES</div> </div>" I mean jesus christ that's a lot of typing to remember.

I hope I answered your question


- B1KStuff

You aren't breaking any rules at all, you know, but you show up in Special:RecentChanges so often I'm inclined to ask. When you make a lot of edits, they do pop up somewhere.
Anyway, I find it weird that you have so many subpages and templates but your signature is still subst'd. You might want to read UN:SIG; not only is your signature too big height-wise, but wikimarkup wise it is pretty enormous as well.
I make the code as an insurance policy, so that when I have to type in big text, I don't have to tear my hair out looking for a page with that markup, I can just type in the subpage
At any rate, you didn't really answer my question. You said they were shortcuts to typing out longer amounts of code, but what is that code for in the first place? And I can't honestly see a use for, say, "the largest text ever". It's not meant as an affront to you, but it's just got my curiosity about what you're doing here on this site. If you wanted to test out markup rather than edit the wiki, why not just install a personal wiki on your home computer instead? I'm just confused.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 20:40 May 31, 2011
Okay, I'll reduce the size, but The signature thing automatically puts that, I honestly don't even know why it does that. I do put ~~~~ into the code. Whatever it is, I'll fix it.
What do you mean "personal wiki on my home computer"? I don't spend my life on it so that would be a waste of time and energy. - B1KStuff
What I mean is, you seem to be here not to edit the wiki itself, but to test wikisyntax in your personal space. Am I correct in that?  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 21:16 May 31, 2011

I'm being BULLIED

Lyrithya and Ljlego are bullying me. They are vandalizing my userpages and protecting them. --Canada, eh? >> Hello, my name is Sir Lollipop, and I am Canadian! 02:25, 1 June 2011

Oh dear. Have you tried not using font tags?  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 02:28 Jun 01, 2011
I don't know what you're talking about. Maybe you also don't know how to use the edit button.~~ Sir Ljlego, GUN  [talk] 02:29, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
Maybe you don't know how to properly click the protect tab. --Canada, eh? >> Hello, my name is Sir Lollipop, and I am Canadian! 02:32, 1 June 2011
I sorta got an apology from Ljlego, but Lyrithya is bullying me. --Canada, eh? >> Hello, my name is Sir Lollipop, and I am Canadian! 02:34, 1 June 2011
I wouldn't worry about it. It's just her way of trying to win UGotM. Sad, really.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 02:36 Jun 01, 2011
She should probably win Useless Gobshite of Eternity. --Canada, eh? >> Hello, my name is Sir Lollipop, and I am Canadian! 02:42, 1 June 2011

Remember

The joke block log entry you made? In that BHOP forum, where I jokingly claimed to have been "silenced". Well, Ljlego deleted that forum topic, and the only word in his deletion summary is "silence". When I asked him why he'd deleted my forum entry on his talkpage, he didn't respond (the "Fascist" bit was a joke, just so you know). Could you please ask him why he decided to delete my forum topic, because given that this was in BHOP, I don't think I did anything wrong while posting it. I'm taking this matter to you as Ljlego hasn't responded to my complaint for almost a day now. --Scofield & 1337 06:01, June 2, 2011 (UTC)

Restored. Prepare for an epic admin revert war that will undoubtedly tear wikifriends apart.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 06:04 Jun 02, 2011
Thanks, dude. You might want to place it back on the BHOP index too. --Scofield & 1337 06:08, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
It is already. Are you fucking blind or something?  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 06:12 Jun 02, 2011
Hey, hey calm down. Lol. What's that fleshy thing I touch? It feels like balls, though I cannot be sure..... --Scofield & 1337 06:17, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
No no no, balls is what you suck, you cockmunching peabrained sunuva IP.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 06:18 Jun 02, 2011
If I'm a sunuva IP, then you're a sunuva IP! EVERYBODY's a sunuva IP! You wouldn't even have an account if it wasn't for your IP! Most people are so ungrateful for having IPs, but not you. Not anymore. --Scofield & 1337 06:28, June 2, 2011 (UTC)

Bot restoring {{subcat}}

Hypothetically, if I were to bot replace [[Category:Category name]] with {{subcat|Category name}}, how would I go about doing that with AWB? --Mn-z 01:03, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

First, you'd have to learn regex, and then you'd get banned for essentially getting into a revert war spanning hundreds of pages.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 01:17 Jun 05, 2011
It's not a revert war until I revert a revert, and it would involve thousands, not merely hundreds, of pages. At any rate, it looks like Lyrithya haz consensus. --Mn-z 02:09, June 5, 2011 (UTC)
Indeed. But yeah, learn regex. It's helpful.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 02:10 Jun 05, 2011
Do you have links to any sources that show how to use it? --Mn-z 02:15, June 5, 2011 (UTC)
How about this one?  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 02:28 Jun 05, 2011
...Just wandering past. I thought you could do find & replace in AWB without needing regex. It does have a find replace feature. Perhaps I dreamt the whole thing. Forgot I was ever here... MrN MrN9000SouthParksmall.jpg 22:46, Jun 9
You can, but standard find and replace isn't very good at, say, yanking a parameter from a template and sticking it somewhere else (in this case, a category). Regular expressions, on the other hand, are just dandy for that.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 23:09 Jun 09, 2011

You forgot to close my (unnecessary because not serious and admittedly annoying if you didn't find it funny) VFH nomination of that article which has been clogging up VFH ever since. Schamschi, 23:18, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

I was just being lazy and hoping somebody else would do it. But I'll do it!  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 23:21 Jun 06, 2011
Wow, Mrthejazz' Don’t some work (or/and its recent VFH nomination), which, for some inexplicable reason, has a "right single quotation mark" instead of an apostrophe in the contraction in its title, seems to have an effect on people. Don't think that I care whether the nomination would have continued to exist or not, I just thought it might be good for maintenance. In fact, come to think of it, it would be interesting to see a deleted article featured on the Main Page. I believe this hasn't been done before? Schamschi, 23:33, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to say about Don't some work (though the nomination is really annoying with the apostrophe, and the fact that Fnoodle managed to handle it is pretty cool, I think) but yes, it's interesting for two reasons: one, it brings up the old discussion of "is vanity too alienating or can it be funny sometimes?", and two, it's a rather scathing parody of someone whose opinions used to be the most prominent on the site way back when, so it shows that we've finally "grown out" of that era.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 23:48 Jun 06, 2011
I was just (jokingly) referring to the fact that you were too lazy to close the VFH nomination, thereby not doing an amount of work. Also, I must admit that, while I have read the original article, I have not studied in detail looked at any of the changes Famine made to the Accordion article or the state it had been in before Famine edited it, so I cannot really talk about what Famine actually meant, although the idea that putting work into an article is good doesn't sound bad to me per se... and what does Do/Don't some work have to do with vanity?
Also, speaking of work: A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon your story UnBooks:The Frogs, and, believe it or not, I actually read it, and I must say, I'm impressed. I didn't really find it funny, but I think that this hardly matters, because I enjoyed it, funny or not. I didn't quite understand why Osiris needed frogs, or maybe I just can't remember, I don't know, and I didn't get the part at the end where the elevator leaves a gap in the room, but I'm glad I've read it, and I suppose you put some work into it... Pity the sequel seems to have died or something. Schamschi, 00:28, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
Frogs is actually absolutely, unforgivably terrible compared the stuff I've written lately. Same goes for the sequel. It's really childish, the entire thing. I guess I can't really hate it, since everything I write just helps me figure out how to write better in the future, but still, yeesh. It was also written during a very angsty time of my life, which didn't help matters.
Speaking of terrible things, so is Accordion. Famine had a lot of opinions but humor-wise he fell pretty well flat. And anyway, vanity was the wrong word, you're right. I meant "in-joke". Apparently I can't type today.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 00:39 Jun 07, 2011
Eh, Accordion was a lot worse before Spike gave it a go-over. 1234 ~ 16px-Pointy.png 00:48, 7 June 2011
I was referring to the pre-SPIKE edit, which is how I remember it. I didn't realize SPIKE did anything to it.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 01:04 Jun 07, 2011
Well, I haven't read any of your other stuff except for your article huffing forum, the 10 reasons to defrost Frosty, and, as I just discovered by looking at your user page, the Ode to the Monotony of Life (for some reason I had been under the impression that this article was written by Thekillerfroggy). I found that the article huffing forum was starting out hilarious, but seemed to drag on a bit towards the end, the 10 reasons list was slightly chuckle-worthy but not too great in my opinion (wtf, this got featured? So much for in-jokery. Oh dear, this place is really going to the frogs dogs), and the monotony ode was excellent (and funny). HowTo:Rob A Bank With Your Penis sounds interesting, though, I might have a look at that. And about the Frogs: I think what you describe as "terrible" might be the fact that not really everything wraps up, or at least I got that impression. I found most of the ideas contained in it really good, but some of them didn't really seem to have their place in the story, they were just there and could just as well not have been, for instance the part at the beginning where the first guy (don't remember his name) dies and that woman appears to him, saying that she is his death, and that everyone's death looks different. I like that idea, but it's just that — an idea, not really integrated into the story. Or the old dude with the blender (Charon?), he is also rather dispensable. But the fact remains that it is well written, so yeah (or yeesh or whatever). Also, say hello to Fnoodle from me. Schamschi, 01:44, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
"Article huffing" was written (and I do use the phrase lightly here) with the intent of taking up as much space as possible in as little time as possible, since anyone could have chosen to edit conflict me at any time and ruined the joke. "10 Reasons to Defrost Frosty" was purposefully horrible because it was a jab at his similarly terrible listy articles about users in his userspace. And I'm not saying it was horrible just to cover my butt, here, it wasn't supposed to be anything. The joke is really that it got featured. So you've basically read the two things that were a) written under time pressure and b) supposed to be unfunny. Monotony, while also very old, is at least some of my actual writing.
As for the plot threads, Frogs was actually the beginning of a trilogy of short stories, most of the things you've mentioned there were picked up in the second one. But really, I'm not going to defend it more than just that. It's old, it's loosely plotted, and while it has its clever bits the overall presentation leaves much to be desired in comparison to the stuff I try to write today. I'll have to get Amadeus Winds a Watch in some sort of readable order if you want to read something actually recent.
What with having three authors and all I can't say I contributed much to the bank article but, well, there you go.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 01:52 Jun 07, 2011

Hey Skully,

Huh, that's weird. He's made to resolve redirects, and he's managed to do so on a number of occasions. Wonder why he stopped.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 05:47 Jun 09, 2011
Well, I ran a few tests, and the only conclusion I could make is that the API was somehow lagging behind, as he resolves the redirect perfectly now. I did add in another check, though, to see if #REDIRECT exists on the page, so this doubly shouldn't happen.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 05:58 Jun 09, 2011

Could you...

Protect all the pages of UnBooks:Let's take a walk in the city!? Seeing as they're all technically featured articles, and could still suffer from article rot. Thanks. --Wanna see a magic trick? 22:02, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

The modification I just made to the protection script should have done so, but seeing as they didn't, this article is officially my testbed. Muhaha!  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 22:04 Jun 09, 2011
Oh wow, did I ever make a dumb mistake. Think I fixed it though. If I did, this article's subpages should be semiprotected in the next few minutes or so. If I didn't, well, you know where the shelter is.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 22:13 Jun 09, 2011

In case you haven't noticed

You have a redlink category on your talk-page. --Mn-z 22:16, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

I know. It was to prove a point. Sadly, the point was not proven.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 22:16 Jun 09, 2011
What is the point? --Mn-z 22:18, June 9, 2011 (UTC)
I was under the mistaken impression that a category added to a page's talkpage could somehow list the actual page rather than the talkpage on category pages. Would've been useful for maintenance templates. Alas.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 22:21 Jun 09, 2011

Fnoodle has a new homework assignment

Something has got to be done about Special:LonelyPages. They are a pretty big oversight and a pretty big bad thing to have, since all unlinked articles only show up on random, or to their lone authors who most likely gave up caring long ago too, so it's a big maintenance thing we oughta pay attention to fixing. The problem is that right now it's absolutely cluttered completely with UnNewses. --Littleboyonly.jpg TKFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFCK Oldmanonly.jpg 01:43, June 11, 2011 (UTC)

So then the list would be... empty? But the pages would still not be legitimately linked to. So I'm not sure where you're going with this.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 01:50 Jun 11, 2011
Or you could take the first page in the list and add a link to the second one. Then you insert a link into the second page pointing to the third one, etc. Schamschi, 01:54, June 11, 2011 (UTC)
I'm not sure how any of this would actually solve the problem of a lack of legitimate links to these articles.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 01:55 Jun 11, 2011
(That was the joke, at least in my suggestion). Actually, I don't get it either. It seems to me that the only way to solve this problem besides huffing all the articles in the list is to look for articles where links to the orphaned pages could be inserted, which is hardly something a bot could do (unless it's a super-intelligent bot). Maybe TKF's announcement of a new homework assignment for Fnoodle was a joke in the first place. Schamschi, 02:03, June 11, 2011 (UTC)
No. What you can do is add all of them to a page, which would take a long time for a human to link, then a human like myself could preen out the few non-UnNews articles out of the bunch so they go back on the Special page, while all the archived UnNews remain linked. --Littleboyonly.jpg TKFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFUJewriken.GIFCK Oldmanonly.jpg 02:30, June 11, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the vote on VFH!

Thank you for voting on my article HowTo:Face your upcoming death! I heard people send out message to people who voted for them as a sign of thanks.

Browsing

Thanks for the help and great advice. I must explain that there is probably an entire section of my brain that is tuned differently than most peoples. Most math I had in school was Algerbra, and it took me two years and two summer school sessions to pass it with a D. I can't diagram sentences, and they gave up on me on that in school because labeling words as parts of speech makes no sense to me (seriously). Computer talk and programming, codes, etc. falls within there somewhat, although not as serious as the math, etc. Which is why I've never studied it closely, and that's where my problem with it comes from. Your kind leading-me-by-the-hand approach is appreciated (again, seriously). Thanks. Aleister 23:40 14-6-'11

Sure thing! Sorry it took me so long to reply, I was busy with Fnoodle stuff and got sidetracked for most of yesterday. But yes, anytime. And I appreciate that you've taken the time to read what I say, too, cuz knowing what a browser is is pretty important and all. So go us ^_^  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 18:48 Jun 15, 2011

Template:MonthlyAwards

Can you help me? the first phrase of the Matt snow blurb is buggn me. It needs more words to help with the flow. It is uneditable by me I am presently on IRC and no ops are answering. --K evillips эвилипс MUN,CM,NS,3of7 18:44, June 15, 2011 (UTC)

Hey

You seem like a self appointed expert and I thought up an idea. You know you discourage the use of <center>BLAH BLAH BLAH</center> and instead encourage <div style="text-align:center;">BLAH BLAH BLAH</div>. Well I think and have noticed the center tag is still being used for one simple reason: PEOPLE ARE LAZY, <center> is simpler to the alternative.

So this got me thinking, is there another simple way to do it? I think so. User:Frosty/center, check it out. It auto-centers texts using a template and holds two major advantages:

  1. Laziness is no longer an excuse, its easy to remember and does the job.
  2. If HTML convensions ever change, one edit will fix hundreds of pages in one go, rather than individually find them all and fixing them one by one, which takes ages.

So what you think? --Is it getting chilly in here? Yeah, you get awards now when you mock Lyrithya Frosty dah snowguy contribs GUN PLEB If I do good If I do bad 05:23, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

I like! So far, anyway. You/I/we'd still need to solve a few more issues first - <center> centers a few elements that aren't text too, like tables and images. Kind of a shame it's deprecated, almost.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 15:40 Jun 19, 2011

I am considering that we should rally for reform in Uncyclopedia. Currently, the bureaucratic system is shit. And regarding the "SubSpaces" thing or whatever you like to call it, we need a simpler, easy-to-understand-by-an-idiot version. Put simply, the simpler the system, the better it is.

..

Ok, I have no idea what grudge you have against me, ever kicking me out for stuff nearly everybody so rampantly does and being so cold attitude wise nearly every time, or why you are so sure I won't try and dodge the ban again and succeed (which I don't want to do anymore because I respect you, even though you probably don't care for nOObs who know nothing and are annoyingly interrogative) but seriously tell me. I asked you about the IRC client thing you didn't respond, I asked you about the Opera thing you didn't respond. I'm not asking to be friends with you and grow old flying kites or anything, but seriously. Shit, I still am using a web client and don't even know the name of any client because you admins just wouldn't answer on IRC when asked about things. My nick too irritating? My writing? What? --PoopManPoop -> That's Poop Man Poop 21:28, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

I had you on /ignore, and thus didn't hear these questions. /ignore-ing a user is perfectly common practice on IRC when you find another user irritating.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 21:30 Jun 25, 2011
Oh. Never knew that. If by irritating you mean pinging people and asking too many questions, then I guess I don't really care, it's purely your choice to do that. And yeah, btw, I only pinged the people who I talk to and who I was sure wouldn't be irritated by it, well except maybe Chief, but I just needed to ask him something. Anywho, now that you know why I said what made you ban me in the first place, will you remove it? --PoopManPoop -> That's Poop Man Poop 21:44, June 25, 2011 (UTC)
Sorry, what ban?  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 21:46 Jun 25, 2011
If that's a smart way of saying you have already removed the ban then I guess it hasn't worked because I am still unable to join. The ban on IRC.--PoopManPoop -> That's Poop Man Poop 21:57, June 25, 2011 (UTC)
And I just edit conflicted with myself, fuck! Nevermind--PoopManPoop -> That's Poop Man Poop 22:02, June 25, 2011 (UTC)
I did find a matching ban in the ban log, however, after a quick poll of the active users on IRC there is a strong consensus not to lift said ban.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 22:05 Jun 25, 2011
Ok so you mean to say you did not make that ban and just happened to have found it. But how does that matter it's IRC? If a poll were to hold to keep the bans on people on IRC, then polls should be conducted to ban people from IRC in the first place too. And the very command /ignore really makes poll on keeping bans a moot point because they can just ignore the said user whenever they want. And it's not like I want to invite them all for a sunday brunch or something, I need IRC for discussions on articles which I don't think the said users very much care about. So again, can you lift the ban which /you/ put based on a non existent reason?(as you had me on /ignore)--PoopManPoop -> That's Poop Man Poop 22:11, June 25, 2011 (UTC)
No, you don't. You use IRC to bug and bother and pester people for help, and every time after you leave there's a sudden explosion of activity from a half-dozen users that have been holding their breath until you /part.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 22:13 Jun 25, 2011
Hmm..Hmm. Ok. So you are saying, a new user tries to do something, maybe edit a picture or change a skin or whatever, and he comes to IRC asking for help, he puts up the question, and he's got absolutely no help off Google or anything, he waits. Nobody answers, he's still in the middle of what he's doing and can't proceed without any assistance, but nobody still doesn't answer. He asks for a couple of times and then leaves (which I stopped doing a long long time ago as now I only ask specific someone). Then the users start chattering about how they were holding their breaths because of how irritating that guy was? And you're saying it's my fault? For asking for help? And it's not like I am asking about how to save a page. Only when there is a real query do I look for help in IRC. And are you saying these users are right in what they're doing, holding back when a new user is asking for help and talking as soon as he leaves? And bug bother pester is really an over statement as I only ping specific people when asking for help. I stopped shooting out questions to anybody who would care to answer because that's just 'irritating' long ago. --PoopManPoop -> That's Poop Man Poop 22:30, June 25, 2011 (UTC)
Being new is never an excuse to be irritating.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 22:33 Jun 25, 2011
But what comes across as irritating to people is never directed towards them in the first place, so why do they even look at it? Apart from asking too many questions, which I again say I don't anymore and if I do I always ping, anything else you find irritating?--PoopManPoop -> That's Poop Man Poop 22:39, June 25, 2011 (UTC)
You are, in short, the absolute neediest user I have ever come across on this site. When you aren't pestering people for help (and subsequently berating them for not taking the time required to stuff a concept into your puny little skull), you are requesting that people create conversation for you or amuse you, you derail conversations in progress, you repeatedly ragequit IRC for reasons largely unknown, react to the slightest criticism with such malice no one wants to converse with you, and whatever else you've managed to do to convince five people to jump up and shout "no" the moment I ask if I ought to remove you from the banlist.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 22:42 Jun 25, 2011
Ok, the needy user part I get. Which I have long stopped doing. Same with the berating them for not taking the time, namely the Lyrithya fiasco(which was only one time).. Which I very well apologized for and have long stopped doing. But potential reasons for me coming across as annoying really come to a halt there. That was the first..ragequit?, I ever did and never have I taken ill to any criticism. Well if you don't count "It's Unnews it isn't supposed to be on the front page" as criticism that is. Again, only one instance. Ok. You be there, nevermind the 5 people who shouted no for removing me from the banlist because not everybody likes everybody you know, you unban me and be there. If ever I do which comes across as annoying to you, all of which I am now willing to shout off the top of the Eiffel Tower I have stopped doing, you ban me from Uncyc for a day, or whatever time you feel like. And if there's something I haven't stopped doing still, I won't do it now. What do you say to that? P.S. Again I have no particular intent to be on the IRC again but I need it for what it was made for, constructive discussion. --PoopManPoop -> That's Poop Man Poop 23:00, June 25, 2011 (UTC)
And if you in anyway feel that I purposefully derail conversations or request people to create conversations, I apologize for that, not because I want the ban removed but because that's not right and will make it a point to not do it again. --PoopManPoop -> That's Poop Man Poop 23:31, June 25, 2011 (UTC)
PoopManPoop, IRC is there for users looking for help when they're stuck. If you've encountered something on the Wiki and have tried working around it until you are completely out of options and are still stuck, please ask on IRC - that's what it's there for, and the people online will be helpful if you politely state your problem and what you've tried that doesn't work. IRC is not for questions like, for example, "where's so-and-so's article that he's working on?": IRC is not the place to ask for a shortcut to something so you can save time or because you need results now. If you want an article reviewed, put it on PR. If you need that feedback now, you can ask on IRC, but if no one wants to do it, don't bug them; run the article out into the open and let it get reviewed on the fly. If it fails, pull it back in and use that as your feedback; this is a Wiki, no matter how shitty your article is, there is one or thirty out there that are even worse. So don't worry. As for socially, if nothing's happening on IRC, then nothing's happening on IRC. It's okay. It's like the lounge in the apartment building where everyone's chill with each other; sometimes people have cards out and are playing Nertz, the radio is going and everyone's talking. Sometimes you go in and it's just a few people sitting there, reading. You can bust in and try starting something, but if no one responds then oh well. Rule #52 from TheHumbucker's Rules of Thumb: "Only be on IRC if you're also doing something else." Doing something else too is a) more productive than staring at text dropping down in a chat window, and b) Gives you something to do when things aren't popping on the channel, which makes you less likely to say pointless things, which makes it less likely for you to get banned, which, I do gather from the wall of text above, is what happened. As always, if anything here needs clarification or if you have any questions, please ask me (but only after you've thought about all the options and are still stuck). ~ Humbuck.png Talk 00:57, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
PMP, this happened to me too. And with Skully's help, I realized that IRC would only lead me trouble and I should keep away from it in the future. --Care for a lick? Lollipop Care for a lick? - CONTRIBS - WRITINGS - SHOP - Now adopting! - 01:00, 26 June 2011
TheHumbucker, yeah I understand. But I will still say I do not do anything of that sort anymore, you can be there to see for yourself anytime. But again, if I do do it then I won't. An IRC ban is no point though. Not that I did anything to earn it, but I can't gather up enough people to vote for lifting it up. That is just, not how IRC should work. You guys are admins your choice. You want to lift the ban lift it you don't want to lift the ban, I think I can't do squat about that. But please, as I am saying it again and again and agian, the major chunk of things everybody is telling me not to do are things I don't do anymore. And if I do, I promised above I won't. Totally your choice in the end. --PoopManPoop -> That's Poop Man Poop 11:27, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

Oh you have me on ignore again. Perfect. --PoopManPoop -> That's Poop Man Poop 14:58, June 26, 2011 (UTC)
You can't ignore someone on-wiki (at least from a technical perspective). I've been reading everything that's been going on, but ultimately I'm at the mercy of what other ops and users on IRC want, and right now there isn't anything I can do that wouldn't go rather against consensus.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 15:01 Jun 26, 2011
IRC doesn't work on 'consensus' unless there's a specific instance (like trolling) and you know it man. Do whatever man, cya. --PoopManPoop -> That's Poop Man Poop 15:08, June 26, 2011 (UTC)
I've never seen a user actually hating another user. I think there was some sort of (quarrel?) that happened between me and another user, where the other user was suggesting that I had sockpuppets floating around and suggesting I should be banned. Almost left the wiki after that. But Skully dosen't hate anyone (well, maybe Olipro). He's just helping you out so you don't mess up at the end. --Care for a lick?

You like bullying huh. You like making arch enemies huh. Don't like when people like you eh. Very bad job with the ban though Google helps more, nick combinations? Seriously? Let's keep this up. Let's take this forward. You are misusing your op position man, and the policy you were talking about, there is no policy which says you can keep a user off IRC unless he's a vandal or a troll. You think there aren't five people in that room who don't like you? Or anybody else? Ok, let's keep doing this. I will at least get to learn how to change hosts and stuff.

Benson's 4-D House of Pancakes page

Hi,

Sorry for not posting to your talk page in the first place about this. I am just curious as to what happened to that page because it had been around for a long time, at the time of its creation it was given a special exemption from the "vanity" rules, and it was even an "honorable mention" in the Poo-Lit surprise contest of 2007 (see here: [3]). You explained that it "sucked" and was "unfunny", which are fine opinions to have, but I am just wondering if there was any sort of discussion about it or whether you unilaterally decided to delete it. I don't know what the "maintenance tag" that was on the page was, or who put it there, but how does that in it of itself make a page get deleted? --Composure1 21:34, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

Well, when a page is tagged for maintenance, it has 30 days to improve otherwise it becomes a candidate for deletion. However, since you contest the deletion of your page, and bring up some decent points, I will instead nominate it for VFD so it can have a somewhat more fair chance.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 22:20 Jul 03, 2011
Also I totally take back the "sucked" and "unfunny" comments - I was in a bit of a rush when I came up with that re-deletion reason. It does not suck, it is not unfunny, but I'm not entirely sure it needs to exist in mainspace, regardless; at any rate it's up for vote now.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 22:27 Jul 03, 2011
Oh yeah, and I also removed the {{vanity}} template, so if it survives VFD (and let's be honest, it probably will) it won't be in danger of being deleted ever again. The tagging was likely not done in seriousness. At this point I'm only nominating it for VFD to be thorough, and also because after a couple hours of huffing crappy articles my judgment centers are all wonky so I'd rather have other people confirm that what I did was a dumb thing. I apologize for the stupidity.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 22:36 Jul 03, 2011
Thanks for your very positive and fair response! --Composure1 00:15, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Technical Difficulty

Wha..? Why did you huff it? What is HTML anyway? The deletion log made no sense so could you please actually tell my why you deleted it? Seijana 04:18, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Actual reason is that it's been done already. On an unrelated note, how did you manage to make a page with HTML in it without knowing what HTML is?  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 04:19 Jul 04, 2011
Um, good question... perhaps if I knew what part of it was HTML? Seijana 04:24, July 4, 2011 (UTC)
The bits like <div id="textSection1" style="FONT: 13pt/15pt verdana"> and <font size=-2>. Although it is hideously malformed HTML and it shouldn't work at all. But it does. Somehow. I'm confused how.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 04:26 Jul 04, 2011

Harrumph! I merely wish to ... eh ... keep around a certain bit of helpful advice that another user felt was necessary. The template was already moved to my user page, and I've left it there, I simply wish to add it to the United_States_of_America page.Bizzeebeever 03:49, July 14, 2011 (UTC)

I say, Sir, stop removing it from the page, or I shall say 'good day' to you, Sir! *hem*! – Preceding unsigned comment added by Bizzeebeever (talk • contribs)

The fact that it was moved to your user page was sort of a hint that you shouldn't be using it on the wiki at large. Here at Uncyclopedia, we frown at excess (and in this case, nonsensical) templates on a page; back in the day we used to let people add them willy-nilly, and as a result, pages became rather cluttered. So unless a template serves some satirical purpose specific to the page's content, it doesn't belong there. For example, your template has nothing to do with United States of America, and so it shouldn't go on there. Though honestly, a template as random as that shouldn't go on any article. So keep it to your userspace, if you would be so kind.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 03:45 Jul 14, 2011
well, sir, it's not exactly random...it's useful, up to a point. Especially if you agree with UncycloSte. (Perhaps it is best to approach my preamble rewrite with a German sense of humor. You see?) – Preceding unsigned comment added by Bizzeebeever (talk • contribs)
What or who exactly is UncycloSte? I noticed you creating their userpage before (which I then had to delete because only users are allowed to create their own userpages).  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 03:50 Jul 14, 2011
Another user, apparently. (Gosh, the wiki system should lock user pages so that only they should be able to edit them, instead of making moderators sweep up.) He had...some issues with my writing style, which I found...might be useful to other readers? :)
He wrote the original comment, which I then appropriated.Bizzeebeever 03:56, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
You don't really need to make a template to "warn" a reader about writing style. Most articles are written in different styles of humor, and most are welcome. Also, a real template wouldn't be a quote from another user - that's something we call "vanity," introducing something (in this case, a quote) about yourself or another user into an article. Also not a good idea, in most cases. All in all, though, I do ask you to keep in mind that creating templates is typically a bad idea, especially on a wiki that's fighting against template spam all the time. Instead, add humor, not templates, to articles.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 04:00 Jul 14, 2011
Ok, will do. Still, i was trying to show I had a sense of humor about it. Funnier to make a template out of it, and parade it around, than merely revert it wordlessly. (Plus I was going to use it on any pages I created in the future.) But ok then!Bizzeebeever 04:05, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
Sometimes the best way to show you have a sense of humor about criticism is simply to make a joke. Or to vow revenge against your critic, employ a team of hackers and forensic specialists to track him down, get involved with a local criminal ring to arrange his destruction, then leg it back onto a plane before anyone suspects you. Honestly, one of them's a lot cheaper. And you aren't haunted by nightmares for months afterwards.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 04:10 Jul 14, 2011

Birth

Too old, do not want.

Also, the article was deleted for having an expired maintenance tag. I remember that article being edited rather recently. Can you check the history to see when it was lasted edited before it was deleted? I think it was less than 30 days. --Mn-z 00:39, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

I have rebirthed birth. Apparently it was huffed in error. For future reference, next time an article needs restorin', you might be better off asking the admin who huffed it directly. Since this was a pretty clear case though I restored it myself.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 06:00 Jul 18, 2011
It appears it was unedited for over 30 days. It seems like it was edited more recently than that. --Mn-z 20:56, July 18, 2011 (UTC)
Hold on, hold on, I thought it was huffed in June. I can't read. Last edit was May 30th, and it was huffed on July 6th. So, no. It wasn't edited more recently than that. (It was briefly re-created on July 15th as a crappy one-line stub and QVFD'd.) I made a mistake in restoring it. However, I imagine that you'll fix it up anyway. In short, the fact that I can't do math has saved the day.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 21:02 Jul 18, 2011

Bot flags

They're definitely useful and all, but there are also some things that just really shouldn't be done with bot flags, you know? Things we actually do want to show up on recent changes. Welcoming new users, user warnings, reports, blockings... I bring this up now for that last thing because unlike spam, which just disappears completely from recent changes, reverted folks leave a string of reverted edits, and with no apparent evidence of anything done about it, well... I think you can fill in the rest. Perhaps you might consider getting a separate admin account that is not flagged as a bot (but still marked as such), as are common for similar things on Wikipedia? Since we actually have bureaucrats now it shouldn't be that difficult.

Just thoughts. If I'm completely off about something here, I'm sure you won't hesitate to point out what an idiot I'm being. 1234 ~ 16px-Pointy.png 15:25, 20 July 2011

These are good thoughts. I've already given some thought to the situation because, dunno if you've seen, but any time Fnoodle auto-blocks a user, he reports it to Ban Patrol and the edit to Ban Patrol is not bot flagged. Awesome, no? I have not yet worked out if I can avoid putting bot flags on logs, but trust me, if I can, I will. And if I can't, and his administrator functions continue to grow (at the moment his one and only admin function is banning users) I will strongly consider making (yet another) account.
Also, and this is terribly off-topic and more than a bit rude of me, but if you don't like something I'm doing, please come out and say it's you who doesn't like what I'm doing. Like... "[Bot flags are] definitely useful and all, but I don't like the way you're using them" sounds much better to me than "there are also some things that really shouldn't be done". Or using "we" instead of "I" in the second sentence. While I don't doubt there are people who would indeed agree with you, weasel words tend to confuse and irritate me. Just... be direct, will you? I don't mind being called a moron half as much as I mind phrases like "shouldn't be done".  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 17:48 Jul 20, 2011
Not that I'm really much better at that sort of thing, I know... but you know. It's just a tidbit. Feel free to ignore it.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 17:54 Jul 20, 2011
Ban patrol is all very well and fine, but it's still not the block log... nor what it's really for, not that it doesn't make sense to put them there so they can be checked. But checking that as well as the block log to see if the thing has been blocked doesn't exactly make that much sense, so if you could look into that, it'd be good.
That said, since when was deleting things not an admin function? That, mind, need not show up on recent changes so much because doing so removes the evidence as well, but it's also bot-on-bot a lot of the time, unlike dealing with reverted idiots, if you know what I mean.
Also, thank you for edit conflicting me with a hypocritical rant, instead of perhaps giving the benefit of the doubt that I might indeed have had some basis for my wordage. I based 'what shouldn't be done' on what was said on that forum when I was trying to get bot flags - folks seemed to agree on a few things, and this does lump with those, if I recall correctly. If you really want to test if there is basis in the 'we', though, then by all means, take a poll, or wait to see if anyone notices and complains, though it is typically more productive to avoid irritating people in the first place when plausible, as opposed to doing things that you know full well might and saying, hey, nobody's complained yet. If you don't know that it might, that is of course another matter, but there is no need to attack people over it, either. 1234 ~ 16px-Pointy.png 18:07, 20 July 2011

Auto-ban problem

He was never reverted three times in a row, however, until after Hindleyite banned him. If an admin still hadn't blocked him after that most recent edit to Wyoming, then yes, he would have been banned. Prior to that though, the breakdown of his contributions looks like this:
This edit was reverted by you (1 revert)
This edit was reverted by you (2 reverts)
This edit was not reverted by anyone, resetting the count
This edit was reverted by you (1 revert)
This edit was not reverted by anyone, resetting the count
This edit was reverted by MadMax (1 revert)
This edit was reverted by you (2 reverts)

Spam/vandal alert

Hi Doc,

I've recently reported 4 users to ban patrol. They've been defacing Intellectual property (wow, a pun) by adding stealth links. I was worried that these users (or this user?) might have vandalized more articles than this one, because one of these edits was more than a week ago and nobody seemed to have caught it. Maybe it would be useful if you could set up Fnoodle somehow to check if there have been more edits like these recently. The link syntax seems to be the same in all of the edits. Just thought I'd let you know. Schamschi, 02:20, July 22, 2011 (UTC)

I've been aware of this problem for a while now and I'm still chewing away at it. I think I may be able to make a system to prevent more links from coming in (I just need the time to do so), but I'm not sure how to fix this retroactively.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 02:29 Jul 22, 2011
Yes, I thought that browsing the whole wiki would probably not be an option, but maybe filtering users who have registered recently and not done more than a few edits (but at least one) might be an approach if that is possible? If these attacks only started recently, it might limit the amount of potentially vandalized pages to a reasonable size? But I don't know, you're the sysop and programmer.

Hello

Hey bro, I was just letting you know the reason I removed the ICU tag originally was because I believed the article had made it to a point to where it could be removed under the "good faith" guidance from the beginner's guide. Can you take a look at it and let me know how I can improve it? Essentially I'm making fun of my home town, as it's a mega piece of shit. I tried to make it funny to anyone who has any prior knowledge of Havre, and even those who don't. If you compare it with the Havre Wiki page it has some slight superficial similarities, but it departs sharply in most sections. I'm doing my best but since it's not that large of a city it probably won't get edited by other people for some time. Anyway, take it easy. -rockbaby

Here's the link by the way: [[4]] – Preceding unsigned comment added by rockbaby (talk • contribs)

Sorry about the lack of reply. I honestly forget if we allow articles about hometowns (e.g. "towncruft") to exist anymore. I'll have to check with some others. In the meantime you might also want to try asking the guy who tagged your article if he thinks it's good enough to remove the tag.

Change the Front Page?

I had a look at Uncyclopedia's front page with the mindset of noob. Should there not be a brightly coloured tab on the top bar which says something like 'New to this web page? Click here to learn more about Uncyclopedia..' and then go to the various rules and regulations that govern the site? It could be a useful shortcut reminder to anyone who turns up and goes off on the wrong foot like editing a featured article, reverting an admin or established user. Once they get a ban, they very often don't come back. Since a site like this needs a regular supply of writers as others drop out, disappear or slip over to the dark side. I know there are plenty of people out there who just come spray paint this site but many who don't. I think some of the old timers forget this. The link could go to one of the pages we already have here. --Laurels.gifRomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 06:24, July 25, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, yes, and yes, I could not agree more. However, our policy pages are currently in a state of being rewritten, on account of the information being five to six years old and extremely outdated for good old modern Uncyclopedia. Once e|m|c gets them fixed up, though, you can guarantee there will be changes to the main page. Our welcome template needs serious changing as well, and our sidebar could use some rejigging... but it all comes back to having rewritten policy pages. I'm hesitant to put anything that links to our current policy pages on the main page on account of it being really misleading these days.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 06:28 Jul 25, 2011
Thanks for your prompt reply. I know there are major changes and I welcome them. --Laurels.gifRomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 06:33, July 25, 2011 (UTC)
Hey, this is a bit off topic, but if you don't mind my curiosity, how come you haven't been participating in FFW that much? You seem to have a refreshingly strict definition of what makes a good article, as evidenced by your votes on VFD and VFH, and I'd have guessed you'd be all over the event. Is there something keeping you away, something we could improve about it?  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 06:37 Jul 25, 2011
I am supportive of FFW but I prefer to rewrite or re-edit articles as I come across them. Yesterday I toned down the abuse on the Amy Winehouse article and currently rewriting the one on Stalin. So that's kept me busy enough besides RL. --Laurels.gifRomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 07:06, July 25, 2011 (UTC)
Fair enough. I like editing and rewriting too, and someday I hope to return to those roots instead of trudging through the unsalvageable crap. Actually, I might have something to encourage article fix-ups coming soon (and no, it's not another competition).  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 07:12 Jul 25, 2011

Worst 100 LOL Cats

While the images aren't original, most of the captions are, as is the organization, with images getting "worse" toward the bottom of the list. Also, the article is fairly popular, and gets a high percentage of helpful noob edits. --Mn-z 02:04, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

It's still mostly unoriginal - adding captions to images with captions isn't exactly funny, or an improvement, or parody. That said, I'm assuming you dispute the tag? If so I'll put it on VFD and let the intelligence something of the masses decide.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 02:08 Jul 26, 2011

Oh, god, that was such an embarrassing error and I dunno how I got that wrong.

That's fine, Skully. I guess I went a bit off the handle when I saw my article tagged but I can see how, when you're checking 500+ articles, the odd mistake can creep in. I know monitoring of oldcrap can be very difficult. Apologies if I over-reacted but the whole FFW thing is, as you can imagine, not really my kind of thing.

End of time

Dear doctor, I think you mis-considered the End of time for FFW. It really is in much better condition than it had been a year ago, and it already had been nominated for deletion and kept. 76.176.53.16 21:30, July 28, 2011 (UTC)

Based on the VFD discussion, the article that was kept was almost entirely different than what it is now. As of now, it's a few random quotes and a Nigerian scam letter. I might root through the history a bit more and see if there's anything worth saving, but, uh... Nigerian scam letter. Yeah.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 22:52 Jul 28, 2011

You're kidding, right?

Hello, I reverted your change on template:Times, as that is the font I use and I don't want to look like a complete dweeb by using template:Comicfont. Also, this. Is it ever likely that you will unmark it for deletion? If not, which is most likely the case, do I have your permission to resubmit it to your sister projects Illogicopedia or Encyclopedia Demonica? ~[thehappyspaceman] TheHappySpacemanThe Happy SpacemanDan the HedgehogDanTahHedgehogYouTubedeviantARTTheHappySpaceman.com infodiscussioncontributions 00:08, 07/29/2011

To point one, I can only say Thatsthejoke.jpg
To point two, I still consider the article to be tag-worthy. It's very short and is mostly concept sans execution, which is a shame, because the idea certainly has potential. You have a few okay two options there - one of them is to move it to your userspace to improve it; another is to call it contested and I can remove the tag and instead send it to VFD, and I certainly wouldn't have any problem if that's what you'd prefer. Also, you can submit it wherever you want - it's your writing! (Plus our sister projects are pretty separate from us.)  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 00:17 Jul 29, 2011

Fnoodle's reverted edits ban thingy

What, exactly, are the criteria for that? It's just supposed to be recent edits, right? 1234 ~ 16px-Pointy.png 18:33, 30 July 2011

Also, is there any particular reason why it stopped reporting them? 1234 ~ 16px-Pointy.png 07:40, 15 August 2011

Both of those are API bugs I need to work around. The first is an API call that should have been limited to the past 24 hours, the second is that the supposedly-month-long edit token expires randomly and I need to figure out a way to detect and renew that instead of restarting the bot manually. I also just recently got access to my non-bot-flagged secondary bot account and I'm going to be moving the code over there anyway and will fix it up then.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 01:20 Aug 16, 2011
Excellent. But I think I'd like the reports to stay on ban patrol anyway, even with it not flagged. Just so it's all in one place so we can check it for weird stuff, you know? 1234 ~ 16px-Pointy.png 01:28, 16 August 2011
Oh yeah, definitely agreed. That's why I put it on there - less of a workaround with the whole "bot flags" thing and more working with the current ban checking system we have.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 01:59 Aug 16, 2011
So the whole bot flags thing was just a silliness, eh? But anyhow, doubly shiny, that. 1234 ~ 16px-Pointy.png 02:01, 16 August 2011

FFW tags

Call me crazy, but I found An Open Letter to the President of the United States amusing enough to be saved. It's random, yes, but it's just well-written enough to be redeemable. What do you think? —rc (t) 03:06, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

Another dispute- I don't think That time I nearly X during my sojourn in a Y deserves deletion. It's supposed to be a self-referential take on the My Sojourn series, which in my opinion, makes it keepable. You may want to turn to VFD for this one. --Scofield & 1337 08:23, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

I dunno, I think it's just a bit too random to be considered well-written, in my opinion. If you wanted to officially dispute it I could hack it up in my userspace or something.

<insert namecalling here>

Firstly, I would like to apologise again for what I said and did this morning; of course the thing should have been banned and reverted. After each previous ban a new one had popped up, but even considering that, banning tends to slow such things down even if it doesn't stop them, so I'm not sure what I was thinking. And the rollback thing... er, yeah, sorry about that.

That said, would you kindly pull your head out of your arse? If someone tries to apologise to you, it usually helps to accept the apology, not continue to rant about how much of an idiot they are. I realise it was probably late for both of us and thus we may not have been of our best minds, but this has been a continuing trend for you of late; hells, in the past month, instead of improving anything, you've basically just popped on-wiki to prod already testy forums. Last thing you did was vote to deop someone for a stated reason of 'being whiny'; this wasn't the case when I first knew you, but you've really started to excel at whininess yourself. Going on about how stupid I am, that's whining. Attacking an idea because when you put forth a similar dealy, it was ignored, and thus everyone's being stupid for perhaps not ignoring it when someone else puts it forward? That's whining, and if you're wondering where I'm getting the idea that you've been feeling sorry for yourself, look to incidents like that...

But I don't get it. You used to be a joy to have around, and you also used to seem to enjoy being here. I would hope you can find this joy again, but you'd probably need step away from forums and IRC and what's past and just do something, for that. Nothing so time-consuming as the bot, necessarily, just... something. Write a little, perhaps. You seemed to enjoy doing that, and as I recall, you were quite good... or do something else. I don't know. But it's the doing that makes this place enjoyable, not the people. Definitely not the people. The people (at least the ones who wind up on forums and IRC, anyway) really kind of tend to suck.

Meantime, stop calling me an idiot, will you? You're an idiot too, though for mostly different reasons. Although if I do that on IRC again, please just kickban me from the channel, seriously. 1234 ~ 16px-Pointy.png 15:55, 18 September 2011

Also, when is Wikia going to stop breaking things? I meant to send this as an email, seeing as we really don't need any more drama out of this, but they apparently managed to break that, too. And they already broke the API, gave us a broken abusefilter, made some of the user preferences not do anything, added nonfunctional oasis crap to the skin... killed the software's ability to recognise recently deleted pages... what else have they done lately... 1234 ~ 16px-Pointy.png 16:24, 18 September 2011
Oh, broke Special/Random for UnNews... it seems to still work for all the other namespaces, content or otherwise, though. Hah, as if user scuffles weren't enough... this place is messed up. 1234 ~ 16px-Pointy.png 16:30, 18 September 2011

If you read anything at all, make it the above three links. If you want to find out more about Uncyclopedia or need more help with something, try these:

Good luck and I'm sorry you got off to such a bad start. I hope you enjoy editing here and being an Uncyclopedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~) or use the "sign" button (Button sig.png) above the edit box. This will automatically produce your name and the date.

Well, there are other mysteries. For instance, how do we move the site? I got nothing. 1234 ~ 16px-Pointy.png 09:00, 21 January 2012
Honestly that one's not so difficult. The actual wiki's database is freely available for download (or did that change?) and the images are grabbable via script. The only true problem comes with transferring user accounts and therefore power, but that can be fixed by md5 hashes (user on Uncyc comes up with a private phrase, creates md5 hash, posts hash, then user on new-Uncyc posts actual phrase, admin of new site checks phrase against md5 hash). However the main issue is hosting, and who the hell would want to host this utter mess?  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 09:14 Jan 21, 2012
Could be doable. What about deleted edits? We do have at least one potential host, however, and the on in particular I'm thinking of sounds fairly reliable and capable and drunk. Currently he mostly hosts porn. 1234 ~ 16px-Pointy.png 09:56, 21 January 2012
Not that I trust an individual to host us (I'd be far more comfortable with another company, as it eliminates power struggles and forces some kind of accountability), but I'm sure deleted edits could be farmed via wikibot scripts if they're not in the database dumps. I've forgotten.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 10:11 Jan 21, 2012
I've noticed PEE review not subst'ing the page name proper like either, so maybe there is something to the not subst'ing magic words after all. Haven't tested though. Pup 09:24 21 Jan '12
PAGENAME Dr. Skullthumper
FULLPAGENAME User talk:Dr. Skullthumper
Tested above. Likewise baffled. Pup 09:30 21 Jan '12
The pagename stuff works fine here/on this version of mediawiki. The pee review issues are just as a result of dealy in place to make up for the fact that second reviews and the like tend to have a (second review) and the like after the name of the article in the review page name. 1234 ~ 16px-Pointy.png 09:54, 21 January 2012

I like how I'm back for all of an hour and I already find a technical problem and get a technical question. It never ends, only picks up from where it left off. I should probably go to bed though so I can finish this article in the morning.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 10:19 Jan 21, 2012
Worked out what's happened. It used to subst the article name on PEE review, but someone upgraded the code so that there were less issues with the way it showed up, but removed the subst'ing. And I'm drinking rum that's 76% alcohol, so that's the last sense you're getting out of me for a while. Pup 10:22 21 Jan '12
"someone upgraded the code"
If it wasn't me or Lyrithya the verb you're actually looking for is "fucked up"  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 10:38 Jan 21, 2012
It works. I'm classing that as upgrade until proven otherwise. (Speaking as a person who had to fix it once before when it fucked up due to a wiki upgrade). Pup 12:46 21 Jan '12

Lawhyer

Just because we need her to judge the Happy Monkey contest, Zana seems to have maybe played by the rules, which asked her to only user space stuff and then TKF asked her to mainspace Turd, which she then did. Unless I'm missing something. Happy Monkey turned me gay for a day, and I must go back into gay character now to polish it. Good to have Jed around for times like these. Thanks, Aleister 19:47 12-2-'12

p.s. I was wrong, by the time I wrote this Shabidoo had already removed her from the judges list. So this has been decided by the contest organizer as well. Oh well, if Zana wants a lawyer from the legal team tell her I'll volunteer. But since she doesn't want to judge anymore (?), I have an entry to polish or not. Happy Monkey! Aleister 20:13 12-2-'12

Zana Dark's Ban

From my recent correspondence with Alester's (via my talk pages), Zana's infinite ban appears to have been a question of misunderstanding a request. I am aware she has 'form' but in this instance the details of this particular ban look a bit murky in my view. --Laurels.gifRomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 08:44, February 17, 2012 (UTC)

What was the request?  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 13:52 Feb 17, 2012
See TFK's message on my talk page in response to Aleister. --Laurels.gifRomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 14:25, February 17, 2012 (UTC)
Pardon my ignorance, but who's TFK?  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 14:59 Feb 17, 2012
You know, That Murderous Amphibian. ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngFri, Feb 17 '12 15:03 (UTC)
That's TKF. Romartus mentioned someone called TFK.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 15:11 Feb 17, 2012
I was banned by TKF for getting his name wrong once. It really pissed me off actually. Seriously not funny at all in my eyes at the time. It was only when I had a look around and found some sensible people like Gwax to talk to that I realised that Uncyc was not such as bad place after all. MrN MrN9000SouthParksmall.jpg 15:06, Feb 17

About UnSignpost

Dr. Skullthumper, could you tell me how you and Cajek thought up of UnSignpost? How did the idea come about? How did that spark of inspiration come exactly?

I'd prefer if you answered me on my talk page because, no offense, yours is kind of big (a little too big if you ask me). But anyway, if you could tell me the Story of UnSignpost, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you, Dr. Skullthumper, and by the way, how many women have you had sex with? I bet you've had a lot of women.

Thank you for your time and answer me whenever you find the moment to. That's all I have to say for now. Goodbye, sir. -Sir Matthew Philip Matthlock, Attorney at Law LLC, 1-800-MTT-HLCK (Give me a call!) 00:23, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

Apparently that sort of thing is against the rules, or maybe people in this site don't appreciate the music of Francoise Hardy? Either way, sorry for the inconvenience.

Lyrithya's super sleuthing skills have determined you were probably talking about this. Yeah, having a fixed div of anything on every single page you sign is a Bad Idea. Your signature ought to stay within its own boundaries.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 04:22 Mar 03, 2012

Is that Derp? 1234 ~ 16px-Pointy.png 07:07, 3 March 2012

Stupid point, but...

...you are appreciated. Even if I disagree with you, I still appreciate that we're both trying to build the site. It could be that you already know this, and that statement was as tongue in cheek as my preceding one, but on the off chance it wasn't, you are. Er... Pup 07:47 03 Mar '12

Taking me too seriously. That's going on your permanent record.
Seriously though I appreciate you telling me I'm appreciated. I mean, I already knew I was appreciated, and I think you can appreciate that I knew I was appreciated despite me appreciating being told I'm appreciated. But that was an humorous comment.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 08:30 Mar 03, 2012
I also just realized how the joke fell flat. I didn't realize your statement "It's nice to be appreciated" was in response to ICameHereInACloche, I thought it was in response to your joke ban. Because apparently I can't read. And instead I came across as bitterly butting into another conversation. Which was not actually my intent, I was trying to out-sarcasm you.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 08:32 Mar 03, 2012
It was in response to the ban, but actually more for the comment on it. I am humorous. Yeah, I took you too seriously, but would prefer to do that than accidentally offend you. Pup 08:48 03 Mar '12
I feel moderately less stupid then. But take some solace in the fact that it's pretty damn hard to offend me on here!  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 17:16 Mar 03, 2012
You're both supremely intelligent gentlemen. And guess what? I appreciate both of you, and wish you nothing but the best of luck.
Anyone offended yet? If not, I can get personal. ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngMon, Mar 5 '12 8:49 (UTC)

The deal of a life time

For sure I went to far in canceling out the against edits and it wasn't a bad idea to give me a short ban. I should have taken the issue up in a different way. I would have liked to have finished the conversation on IRC ... but I signed off the moment the insults started. It's awful when name calling and bad mouthing comes out over disagreements on a colaborative comedy parody website...no matter how much you disagree with something. It's kind of scary.

I'll make you a deal Skullthumper. I ... will stop my attempts to make the admin voting more open, I'll dop the whole negative votes on awards issue, I'll ignore Lyrithyas occasional trashing of the website, I'll be super selective about inviting people to colaborate and or participate in things, I'll support TKF's idea of the use of limited adds ... if you refrain from name calling/personal attacks. As a distinguished rhetoritian, I'm sure you know which falacy that is in any argument. I think its a golden deal ... and would benificial for everyone. What do you say? --ShabiDOO 00:01, March 7, 2012 (UTC)

As a vaguely uninvolved admin, I'm going to barge in and say some things. For starters, that ain't something one bargains for. For enders, those are mostly things both of you should be doing anyway, so for crying out loud just do it. I'm not sure what you mean by my trashing of the site, though, and if you don't want ads, that's entirely up to you; we all have different views on that one, but the other things, mon... seriously, please, just do it; the lack of it was apparently what drove Skullthumper to the irritation you saw. That doesn't entirely condone his behaviour, of course, and he really ought to stop that as well, but... yeah. 1234 ~ 16px-Pointy.png 04:59, 7 March 2012

(Numb)Skullthumper

Hey, I hate to be rude, but your talk page is getting way too big. I recommend that you move it into an archive and then start over from scratch. As a matter of fact, any time your talk page gets more than about 32 messages or so, you should move it. Sorry about that, but you really need to fix that. Better sooner than later. User:Matthlock/sig 21:07, June 13, 2012 (UTC)

No.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  critchat) 18:13 Jul 08, 2012

Earth to Skullthumper

Yeah, my friend Joel sure was a laugh riot.

This is last warning, Skullthumper. Archvie your talk page now, or I will have to archive it for you. And don't make me do that! Move your talk page now, or I will have to put this problem up with somebody else.

Also, on a more lighthearted note, I'm glad you enjoyed the question I asked you on Formspring. I'm really happy you featured it on your userpage. It was just a question that came out from one of the myriad goofy conversations I had with my friend Joel. He and I have had the most ridiculous talks ever; and I am personally amazed that I've got passing grades in any classes I had with him.

But more importantly, MOVE YOUR TALK PAGE NOW. User:Matthlock/sig 23:19, June 27, 2012 (UTC)

  1. You have no authority to order someone to archive their talkpage, let alone to do it for them.
  2. Dr. Skullthumper has been inactive lately, as should be obvious from the timespan between the above two unanswered posts. You shouldn't expect people to do things (e.g. archive their talkpage) when they're clearly absent from the wiki.
