To add a comment, just click that nifty little + at the top of the page, so all comments are in chronological order (newest at the bottom). If a discussion starts here, I will try to keep it here so that the discussion can be viewed in its entirety to avoid confusion, and likewise I will aim to keep a discussion on your talk page if it starts there for the same reason. Thank you.

Arbies

Don't know if chev knows the procedure. Perhaps a message telling him you're ready to proceed? Oh his talk page? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 17:47, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Any questions? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 19:36, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Owsleybank groups

Hallo Maverick, with regard to your spring clean of groups: Rotter's Relief is actually still active in Owsleybank (even though we are mostly bleeding at this stage). Do you require a more formal notice? --Mummelmann 12:48, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Nope, this is good enough. I will note it that Rotter's Relief is still active. --Maverick Talk - OBR Praise Knowledge! 404 06:19, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Checking in....

I noticed Rotters Relief posted above, and you made them active.... I was hoping to confirm EVIL,... not sure if you knew or not,... but the only response required was on the talk pages. Any who,... we're still active. -Poodle of DoomM! Fear is only as deep as the mind will allow it be.T 04:24, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry that you haven't been confirmed yet, Poodle. We go back through and check all of the talk pages before we remove anyone. Confirming you early just saves us a little time later (at the expense of some time now, of course). Aichon 06:31, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
Just checking in is all.... I thought it to be moving faster elsewhere,... and wanted to make sure we weren't missed... that said, thanks to all involved. -Poodle of DoomM! Fear is only as deep as the mind will allow it be.T 04:37, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
Nope, you haven't been missed. It's just a slow process. --Maverick Talk - OBR Praise Knowledge! 404 05:30, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Already responded

on the forum......--RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 10:07, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Ah, see now if I wasn't at work I'd have all the tabs open and would have noticed... --Maverick Talk - OBR Praise Knowledge! 404 10:21, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

We are still active in Dakerstown

FUACK is still alive and well. We are a small group so we may be hard to find if you're looking for us, but we're here. In the future, please check in with us at our forum before removing us from the active group listing. Egil 03:24, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

A request was posted on your group's talk page that you confirm your activity. That same request was also posted on hundreds of other groups' talk pages at the same time as part of a semi-annual project to clean up the group listings for each suburb. Maverick was responsible for your suburb's groups, but there are only about a half dozen of us handling the project, and we don't have the resources to track down every single group listed in every single suburb, especially since the vast majority of the ones we remove are legitimately gone and no longer active.
Maverick didn't remove your group mistakenly or because you're a small group and he couldn't find you in-game. He removed FUACK, just as he removed dozens of other groups across the city, because they failed to respond to the request that they confirm their activity. In the future, if you'd like to avoid this, the only way to do so is to check your group's talk page at least once every two weeks. The next time this project comes around, there's no guarantee that Maverick will be the one checking your suburb anyway, so that's the only way to be sure. Aichon 04:00, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
My mistake. I admit I'm not familiar with the politics of such things as this. My apologies, Maverick. Most of our members are not active on the wiki, and I check it only rarely. I shall keep an eye on our group page in the future. Egil 06:11, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
The next time we do the cleanup probably won't be until next year anyway, so you'll be fine for a good long while. Worst case scenario is that you get removed again and just have to re-add yourselves, which only takes a minute or two, thankfully. Anyway, sorry for the mix-up on our end as well. We tried to notify people in more ways this time around than we have in the past, but some active groups always slip through the cracks regardless. Aichon 07:26, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
Umm... what Aichon said. Thanks for watching my talk page while I took the weekend off. =D --Maverick Talk - OBR Praise Knowledge! 404 09:28, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Hey

Thanks for telling me, I've been busy trying to level up and find a surburb to work in. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BlackRider (talkcontribs) at an unknown time.

No problem. We're almost always in the same five suburbs, so you always know where you can find us. --Maverick Talk - OBR Praise Knowledge! 404 09:50, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Districts

I anticipate a lot of district pages are going to be made soon. For my sake, I'm gonna just give you a heads up to categorise them as you go (since I assume a lot of the base coding is just copy and pasted anyway) to make my job here a little smoother. --

12:27, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Yep, that will be the case. Just sticking with the one district page until we get a nice pretty format for it though. So you might not even see the other district pages up for a few weeks yet. --Maverick Talk - OBR Praise Knowledge! 404 19:40, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

DistrictForm2

Your page was unlinked, so i linked it here.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 13:11, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

10mfh are still active in Molebank. Thanks for taking on the cleanup effort, Lord knows its needed from time to time and there aren't many willing to put the time.

Just a suggestion though, if a group has a forum listed it would be particularly polite to follow through to it and see if there's any activity there, or maybe even drop by and say hello (as for us, we love to welcome guests and there's always a good cup of tea waiting) before signing the death certificate. The 10mfh forum is VERY active and the two or three clicks it would have taken to verify that would have been a lot less effort than the changes you implemented took you to do and certainly for us in reverting them back. Even more so since my HTML/Wiki skills border on the laughable. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cs lewis (talkcontribs) at an unknown time.

Hey. I know I'm not Mav, but I think I can explain. The Great Suburb group massacre took place on all 100 suburbs, so taking the time to register on every group's forum would've taken considerably more time and effort.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 17:36, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
To follow up on what Yonnua said (and to reference Aichon a little further up my page), it's the same policy for every group listed in every suburb. We realize that not every group checks the wiki that often, even if they are very active in-game or on their forums. That's why we give two weeks to respond and confirm activity. With all the groups that need to be verified, looking for them off the wiki just creates much more hassle and involves a lot more time than it is worth. But the nice thing is that in situations like yours, it's a very easy fix to simply add your group back to whichever suburbs you were removed from. --Maverick Talk - OBR Praise Knowledge! 404 22:03, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Chidley Row Fire Crew

If that offer of an alliance with the Order of the Black Rose is still open, We accept. And would you communicate with us about the status of the 'necro tech' your group maintains. We are dealing with an infestation and are looking for other ways of dealing with the problems other than with the 'AX'. All of the 'radios' in the area have been destroyed so post your reply on Talk:Chidley_Row_Fire_CrewSigning off --Armen Hammer 10:06, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Hard Knock Life

Look likes they may drop off the stats page soon. Want to try a 404 style move on them? They seem to be our type of people. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 18:24, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

They most certainly do. I'll try to get in touch with them and put the offer out there. --Maverick Talk - OBR Praise Knowledge! 404 19:08, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Forum issue.

How can people make revive requests if they have to be pre approved? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 12:15, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Already resolved. Guest account; information in the revive request thread, which can be viewed by people even who are not logged in. --Maverick Talk - OBR Praise Knowledge! 404 20:59, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

right on dude, never checked that discussion section. Sadly I see a fair amount of reaching out we've completely, though not deliberately, ignored. Oh well, we're here on the border of Old Arkham and Spicer Hills, like we have since '05 or '06 doin' our pro survivor thing. no revenge kills without a group vote, negotiations ... like that. So, come on down and bring some love ... --Akdov 00:12, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
