Inspirational quote

“ But that's the beauty of the Internet; you can lie about what you're wearing and nobody knows the horrible truth of it. ”

Hey, you're a coder...

do you think you could help with Hippies? I'd like to have it so all the headers (and maybe the title) are different colors. As it is now, all of them show up as just one color. Do you know how to fix that? I'd be much obliged. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Friday, 07:52, Nov 6 2009

Is this what you were after?

Pup

Sorry, I should have said I want them to be random colors, as in when you refresh the page all the headers are different from what they used to be. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Saturday, 02:18, Nov 7 2009

I did it. You should use the {{r}} template and the {{random colour}} template next time you get into a situation like this, Necropaxx. --Invincibleflamegruemaster 03:00, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

Good work! Thanks IFGM. Necro, do you mind if I have a play with Hippies? I have a thought about something that I'd like to try and hippies is a good place to try. And I'd also suggest linkage to Baby Boomers as well. Pup

As long as it's for coding, and you're not trying to sabotage the 186th Most popular article on all of Uncyclopedia, go for it. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Sunday, 01:28, Nov 8 2009

Wow... my stuff only makes it as high as 207th. Pup

One of the many advantages to rewriting common searches. Everybody looks at your article. If they're funny, maybe you've just snagged a new editor. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Sunday, 02:51, Nov 8 2009

The disadvantage is that you have to constantly protect against IP edits. Which I believe is what has happened to Hippies in the past. Much the same as Love as far as I could see. Pup

Well, yeah. But it pales in comparison to being able to say, "Yeah, I wrote the article on love, baby, and it's one of the best on the site." • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Sunday, 03:16, Nov 8 2009

It took me less than twelve hours after writing for me to say to someone "Oh yes, I am a respected authority on love. To understand what love is, first you have to look at what love isn't..." Pup

BTW, the idea I had for Hippies didn't work the way I wanted to, so I've dumped the concept. Pup

Aww... • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Sunday, 03:30, Nov 8 2009

How do they figure popularity, anyway? By visits or ratings (of course if your article is great but nobody sees it, it won't get rated). Some of the most popular articles on this list are, in my opinion, an awful mess. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court)  06:26, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

Just noticed that one that Miley did major work on improving is in the top 10. I've got to tell her that. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court)  06:29, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

I'm thinking it might have something to do with the stars thingy on the left. However again I don't know if it's something I would use to measure quality or anything. Pup

Seeing as how you mentioned liking to work on templates....

I'm trying to make a template that's just like Template:Pee Review Table except it would have an Introduction section at the beginning that wouldn't be scored and some of the categories would be rearranged. I've got the categories in the order I want them, but the top part is screwed up. What I've done is here and you can see how it comes out over here. When you have time, do you (or anyone who knows code better than me) have any suggestions for me on how to fix it or, if it's easier, fix it for me? Thanks! King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court)  00:00, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

I've improved it so it isn't screwed up. I've now got the Introduction at the top of the box, but would like it in the box if that's not too much work. But really, I think I've got it where I can work with it as is. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court)  02:45, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

Saturday evening and viewing uncyc via phone. And I've been out in early summer sun all day and feeling a little off. If you have a look at your last talk page, I've done something to that effect BUT I've been thinking about what you said and also my own feelings about the way the review template is. I'm going to make one with a little more flexibility which I will put forward to the uncyc community, and hopefully replace the existing one. In short, I'm on it, but not today (and I'm trying to get CW as well, so be a little patient with me if I'm slow. Pup

Hey, no problem. And I like I said, I've got something now that works for me. I would kind of like my introduction to go inside the box, but it's not that big of a deal. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court)  06:21, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

Partial achivist?! You?!?!

For shame, you impudent pup! Rapetyraperape! • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Sunday, 03:37, Nov

I've had to start as it has been killing my mobile internet loading up so much stuff, so I'm keeping a clean house now. I'm becoming a constant archivist. Pup

Bleahhh. Archiving is for looooosers. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Sunday, 03:47, Nov

Given my edit on 11:02, 6/11/2009 where I was answering your question was while I was at a friend's place and happened in a few minutes while the girl chatting I was chatting to had left the room, time was of the essence. I like fast internet access. Pup

It might help if your sig wasn't a GIF. Those take forever to load. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Sunday, 03:54, Nov

I browse without images on the phone. Otherwise I'd be waiting forever for this to load. And my sig gif is tiny tiny. Pup

You need to update the template at the top of your talk page to include sheep love. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Sunday, 07:08, Nov

Dude, was that a bestiality joke? Not cool.    Orian57    Talk   06:16 9 November 2009

I'm thinking of removing it to be honest as part of the reconstruction of my user page. Pup

Good. It was horrible anyway. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Sunday, 07:56, Nov

You're married or something, though, you shouldn't be talking to girls, you hound. Not unless it's about Buisness or Air travel or children or other unsexy things like that. In fact NOT children because women all broody about stuff like that.    Orian57    Talk   13:53 8 November 2009

Just because you're monogomous doesn't mean you stop enjoying the company of the pretty girls and boys. Pup

Is that a Mormon joke? Dude... not cool. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Sunday, 23:39, Nov 8 2009

No, more a "POTR is an indiscriminate slut" joke. I'm actually not Mormon - I am Catholic upbringing to new-age spirituality to fundamental Christian to enlightened agnostic to uninformed atheist and finally settled at confused. I have done significant religious studies along the way. I'm not polygamous, but I'm not anti-polygamy either. Make sense? Pup

I think it was pretty obvious you weren't Mormon. See, this is a humor wiki, and not everything is taken seriously. Did I go too fast? Also, polygamy has potential to be the greatest thing to happen to men since cars... I mean, I'm just sayin'... • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Monday, 22:06, Nov 9 2009

Oh, so are you saying it's obvious I'm an indiscriminate slut then? Pup

Basically. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Monday, 22:42, Nov 9 2009

Pup, try this. And fyi, I'm almost always on my mobile phone.. • FreddThe Redd • • • 14:44, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

Actually Moosh it's more a bandwidth issue than a browser one, although I have been very tempted to put opera on this little beast. Pup

As you provided no reply-to address... *grumble*

“ While we have had a significant queue for PEE reviews it means that when someone does review an article they don't have time to sugar-coat their responses, and as a result it can appear to be harsher than it is. What Chief has said is also not unjustified - I did have a few issues with the phrasing of the article, and it's because it is written by somebody who is academically brilliant - you could read work at a much higher Flesch-Kincaid reading level than your average reader, which coincidentally mean that you are likely to write at a much higher level. ”

Riiight. Let us just scurry off to dig out every nugget of information on what you've done on this site since you joined and use that in our next "review" of your writing and rub your face in it while riddling our text with the same mistakes we're chiding you for and see what sort of a reaction we get from you, shall we?

I had to google Flesch-Kinkaid to have a clue of what it is. And before you say it's a default add-on in MS Word, let me inform you I'm a devout Open Office user at least until the point where Microsoft officially signs my paychecks, at which time I'll reconsider. Considering I hope I don't have to work for them (okay, so having a Starbucks built into your office sort of kicks ass, as my last visit to Redmond proved... *ahem*) And my articles average to the same readability score as your average newspaper or journal, not that of Harvard Law Review. Unless I'm writing a Law assignment for the law professor.

My issue is not solely limited to the review, but also some idiots in irc who think they're better than everyone else just because they have an ability to randomly punch keys on a keyboard. My guess is that of Chief's "100 plus reviews of which only three have raised complaints" a good dozen or two have in fact simply scared the user who asked for the review to never show up on the site again, since the bashing's been so thorough. People can be touchy, and people can take offence.

I'm not one to support being politically correct at the expense of honesty. I appreciate things being said straight out and honestly, but being blunt to the point of rude never crosses my mind, since I know people may be in a situation that upsets them faster than others. I should know, since semi-literate monkeys keep thinking they don't understand my humour half of the time...

...Chief still needs to learn how to not scare people away with his reviews. And sure, I may not have gotten a feature, but last time I checked, neither does he. I'm over it and pretty much sure I can't make it anytime soon, either, but others seem to be nearly bitter in their tone.

The review's score may have been close to what I expected, but goddamned wrong scores for wrong things. Sure, you might not understand humour that makes schoolteachers snicker, but do you have to bash it for your own low-browness' sake? Gawd...

...Sometimes I really, really don't understand why I even bother trying to write something as a leisure activity in-between exams and long days at work having to take shit from every angle. As a friend put it, I'm socially inept; an amazingly hot chick who spends most of her spare time on the computer or reading books and doesn't bother going out or dressing to bring out her assets. Well... thanks to my genetic makeup, I'm somewhere between an Aspie and an autistic savant, so I reserve the right to be odd. Goddammit. You men always defend each other... *bangs head to a wall* -- DameViktoria - (Contribs) - (Talk) - (Block log) 16:43, 8 Nov

I was under the impression that e-mail sent via Uncyclopedia had my return address attached. I had a feeling the comment on your talk page may have been related to me, but I didn't really want to keep e-mailing as I'm not a fan of harassing people via e-mail.

I'm actually not defending Chief so much as trying to determine a level of understanding. The review of your work was very blunt and could be seen as being rude - the fact that you were upset by it is a testament to that.

I also want you to know that what you have done on this site and on that article is appreciated. I love your humour. You have a wit and intelligence that I enjoy and respect.

As for the rest, well, I'm having significant issues with depression at the moment and having difficulty coping with the everyday and the mundane. As I write this I am trying to work up the courage to leave the house so I can get to work, which I haven't managed to do for the last month. Writing here is not what I would consider as just a leisure activity - for me this is trying to make some sense out of the insanity that is reality. But I don't say any of this for sympathy - in fact I'm embarassed about the fact I'm saying it at all.

The main point is that nobody here is paid for what they do, and everybody here has their own set of problems. A poor review is simply the opinion of a single amateur. Don't take it to heart. Pup

I understand the depression bit. We all have our concerns, all have our stress factors, and we all have our weak times. I'm not popping antidepressants, since I feel better than I've done in a few years, but I still remember the time when I had trouble getting up from bed to drag myself to uni and got anxiety attacks from appointments with the therapist I was forced to see for a while to get proper anti-depressants. I've had similar trouble as of late again, but I'm keeping myself together as best I can. I recommend kittens as one remedy. Since I got mine, I've been blessed with plenty of spontaneous laughter. -- DameViktoria - (Contribs) - (Talk) - (Block log) 20:51, 8 Nov

Oh, kittens and puppies are very helpful. See the puppy the is on top of the record spinning around up there? It was a few months ago but that puppy is actually my little girl Lola. (Yes, I have used a picture of a girl as my avatar.) The puppy cuddles are a good form of therapy. Pup

Oh and no, just about any twat who finds the emailuser-thing can send people email, which is a convenient spamming method since the reply-to address isn't included. And a good reason for me to not go around splashing my email or IM information out here for everyone to see, either... -- DameViktoria - (Contribs) - (Talk) - (Block log) 21:32, 8 Nov

Damn. It does make a significant amount of sense to stop people being able to send you emails then. [1] has been created for the purposes of people sending me e-mails related to what I do here, just for future reference. Pup

Puppy, Puppy on the Radio...!

That was singing incase you didn't pick up on the melody. I came here for no reason and to impart no wisdome, I didn't even come here to make fun of your stupid hair. I just came to spoil it all by saying something stupid like I like you...    Orian57    Talk   01:31 9 November 2009

I still despise the same old lines I heard the night before. Pup

It was quite the epic quote... BTW, ZOMFG, the Christian Bale article failed already!? I hate uncyclopedia! I might join wikipedia so I can provide a reference for every third word, as well as log a new heading on the discussion board to inform people there is a spelling mistake rather than correct it myself. Way better than the bullshit you have to go through here just to get something featured. --Matfen 00:19, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

Don't get too discouraged. If at first you don't succeed... But look at it this way - you have put it out there, and had feedback from a significant number of people, and you know what works and what doesn't. Next thing I would do is get in touch with the people who voted against and ask them for detail as to what they disliked. Pup
