First thing first

Americans traveling for the first time. Look...they are floating in the air...by the great wall of China. OMG Im so jelous I'm going to saw my head off if I spend one more weekend in this tiny village.

First thing...here is to celebrating one month without any major drama!!! YEAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! Three cheers for people getting the f**k along. I should now take this moment to inform you that you are all a bunch of snotty nosed dick faces, sinking into an abyss of cock-wad penis-smoking but-snot!!! :) :) :) --ShabiDOO 17:09, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

I just got off a 1 1/2 ban yesterday. Does that count as drama? →L A B O R A T O R I E S ^{21:52, 18 June 2012}

Your point is valid that Shabidoo had not taken into account your activities, such as the one that occasioned the ban (userspacing a page Lyrithya thought might disrupt some browsers, and answering her concerns with excuse-making) when he declared that we had been free of drama.

and now: FACEBOOK

Facebook is pushing the boundries between algorythms and humanity...the algorythms will win!

Second thing, as for Facebook, it seems no one is interested or able to put a "share via facebook" button, in general on the wiki. Does anyone know how to add a button like that to specific pages? We can, at the very least add them to the currently featured articles, and if people want, add them to other ones at their discretion. We really really really ought to get ontop of this, as Facebook is really a gold mine of getting other people to look at our articles and check out the site. Does anyone know how to add a single button to a single page? --ShabiDOO 17:09, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

It shouldn't be hard to do, probably just a little bit of css and/or js. You just need to talk to somebody that actually knows how to code. -- The Zombiebaron 17:14, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

Good luck with that. --ChiefjusticeXBox360 17:20, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

Can you think of anyone who might be able to do it? Is there a website of volunteer geeks who get orgasms at the idea of a coding challenge? If you already know this css and/or js thing...might you know more than you are telling us? Are you not revealing your coding genius because I called you but-snot? --ShabiDOO 17:55, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

Try asking Jack Phoenix, Bizzeebeever, Lyrithya, or Olipro. -- The Zombiebaron 18:00, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

Lack of drama is a good thing. And I hate to inject drama into a page that starts off about lack of drama; but linking a page to Facebook in the usual way (1) requires a round-trip to Facebook, which slows down the process of retrieving pages, and (2) transmits to Facebook (which is in the business of collecting such stuff, for analysis and possible sale to pitch-men) my IP address and the pages I am interested in, so that you can feel proud of having involved third parties in some cosmic campaign. That this is what we should do is not a no-brainer. Spıke ¬ 18:48 18-Jun-12

I think you're talking about something different than Shabidoo is, Spike. Shabidoo is talking about adding a "share on facebook" button, which is just a link and will not interfere with our privacy. What you are talking about (I think) is the "like on facebook" buttons. They are two different things. -- The Zombiebaron 20:04, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

If that's what he's talking about, I'd have no problem with it. Spıke ¬ 20:07 18-Jun-12

Thats what Im talking about. --ShabiDOO 11:18, June 19, 2012 (UTC)

Can't we just, like...put the links in the wall textbox thing...and then that would be sharing them? -RAHB 01:01, June 21, 2012 (UTC)
