== API help ==
Bob Moncrief sent me your way. I'm looking at building a bot to prowl the Danger Reports and mark them as "unknown" after several months. I was thinking of using the API to pull page data and parse it to determine when it was last signed. It would also do the same for the MPMs every 5 days and mark them as 'old' or 'unknown' as needed. Bob didn't want to just give me the link to the API, and I don't blame him, but to talk with you about this. {{unsigned|Reimannsum|19:37, 5 January 2019 (UTC)}}
:Sorry, but bots were never my area. From what I know, there isn’t a link to give you. Once you actually build a bot, a ‘crat can assign it bot permissions, but otherwise there’s not much more to it than Googling around to see how to actually build it. If [[User:Revenant|Revenant]] is around, he can probably point you in the direction of folks who have experience making bots. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 23:41, 5 January 2019 (UTC)


== Thank you so much for everything ==
I don't think anyone ever bothered to realize how much you've done for this game / wiki. I often drop the links to your scripts and tell them how awesome you are every single time. You've made the game easy going and if I lose the organizer I just go insane. I mean who keeps track without ?? So... thank you for everything and I do hope you'll still be around if I need a shoulder to lean on and of course... ask about something I can't figure out :) --[[User:Murderess|Murderess]] ([[User talk:Murderess|talk]]) 21:29, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
:You're very welcome, and thank you very much for the kind words. Compared to the greats of the game, I haven't done much at all. I'm just happy to have contributed in my small ways. As for once I leave, I don't plan to check in regularly any longer, but that won't necessarily stop me from coming by if someone reaches out with a question or request, though I make no promises. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 22:12, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
::See, you're the cutest and will be most missed. "little contribution" ? Your scripts EVERYONE uses ! Modest to boot. Your family has the very best and I wish you the very best of all. You so will be checking in ;) --[[User:Murderess|Murderess]] ([[User talk:Murderess|talk]]) 22:18, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

That userpage changes make it really hit home! {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/tcs}} 03:44, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
I only just realised you added the suburb mini-map to my user subpage about redoing the Main Page. Thanks so much for that! {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig5}} 00:01, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
:Eh, you guys still have me through next month. But yeah, I'm starting to wrap things up and make final edits to some things, just to get them in a state where I want them to be. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 14:18, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
:Hah, yeah, I had to look up what you were talking about since I couldn't remember the details. Apparently I had some time to kill that day.
:Hopefully it proves helpful in the future. I eventually lost steam on my attempt at redoing the main page when I realized that the ideas we had weren't technically possible (no way to modify the CSS across all themes so that we could make drop-down menus work for everyone), but I'd love to see you get a redesign off the ground and put into place, since it needs an update and you've already had some good ideas for how to improve it. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 21:28, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Please be aware of the following guidelines before posting here.

API help

Bob Moncrief sent me your way. I'm looking at building a bot to prowl the Danger Reports and mark them as "unknown" after several months. I was thinking of using the API to pull page data and parse it to determine when it was last signed. It would also do the same for the MPMs every 5 days and mark them as 'old' or 'unknown' as needed. Bob didn't want to just give me the link to the API, and I don't blame him, but to talk with you about this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Reimannsum (talkcontribs) 19:37, 5 January 2019 (UTC).

Sorry, but bots were never my area. From what I know, there isn’t a link to give you.

Your template coding still manages to troll years later
