If you have anything you'd like to add to one of these conversations, then go to my talk page, reference the relevant conversation from here, and post your comments there. This page should not be edited by others. These are all messages I've filed away. They shouldn't be changed or added to, since the contexts of the situations have been lost, forgotten, or could simply be remembered differently by the involved parties.

UD Better Name Colorer
Haven't had a chance to try it out yet in-game, but nevertheless it has had an effect on the world in which I browse. Specifically, it makes all of the links in the wiki a rather light blue of colour. This all happened on a Wednesday, in Chrome. User:Pyxzer/sig 22:44, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, Chrome does that. The problem is that Chrome doesn't respect the code in the script that tells it which sites the script should or should not work with (I'm hoping they'll fix the issue, since it seems like a trivial thing to fix that'd make scripting a LOAD better). I've rigged up a version of the script that plays a bit more nicely with Chrome here, but haven't tested it thoroughly yet, so consider it beta. It also doesn't colorize quite as many things as the normal version of the colorer does, but it should still work on the important ones, I believe. Let me know how it works for you. —Aichon— 23:23, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
Kevan's email?
Hey, thanks for your response on my question about donating and the IP limit. Now, I'd like to email Kevan about this but, and I find this hard to believe myself, I can not seem to locate his email address... not for a lack of trying. Is it even posted publicly? --Draig Ravenstorm 03:38, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
- Try his main site. --Bob Boberton TF / DW

- I'll fix up the Recruitment page for you if you can get Grey Swords/Recruit looking good. Gimme one sec and I'll see what I can do for you, that way you can see how it's supposed to look. ;) —Aichon— 08:59, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for all the help, both of you. Id have been cast into the abyss I hadn't of recieved any help! --Osric Stormwall 09:10, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
- No problem! Very glad to be of service. I'll have to figure out how to make those instructions clearer, since you're not the only one who's bumped into that issue. —Aichon— 09:12, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Hey you
I keep calling you Ross by mistake. I think it's been like three times now. So, uh, sowwy. :(
If I do it and don't correct myself, remind me I owe you one (1) internet of your choice. 09:09, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks, but I already downloaded it. No, seriously. I did. Follow the links from here for evidence. In the meantime, I'd settle for less edit conflicts. :P —Aichon— 09:13, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Aha
Linking to A/DE will see A/DE getting quite long. Should there be some subpage to archive these or is it going to be a monthly archive like A/VB? If so that'll need to be created. I'll link to A/DE now cause it's getting late. :( 01:36, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
- I'd imagine it'd be an A/VB-esque archive, where you just include the current month's archive into A/DE, but that hasn't been done yet. I'd fix it myself, but I'm not quite able to. For now, CYA and link to A/DE, and the link can always be changed later. —Aichon— 01:42, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
- Not sure if you're asking for my input or not, but quarterly sounds reasonable to me. After all, if we just take some ballpark estimations and say that half the cases on A/VB are ruled Vandalism and that half of those people will come back later and request a de-escalation, then you'd have just 1/4 as many de-escalations as cases on A/VB, so archiving it about 1/4 as often makes sense. Quarterly ends up being 1/3 as often, so that's close enough. You might even be able to stretch it out six months. —Aichon— 10:54, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, everyone's input would be most helpful. I wouldn't like six months because it means by the end of it there are 6 months worth of a/de entries on one archive page... It may clog up big time... --
- Well, going quarterly for now makes sense. If push comes to shove and there are more requests than you expect, it should be trivial to switch to a monthly archive anyway. You can basically just treat the first quarter as an experiment to see how many requests actually come in, then make a final decision at the end of the quarter. —Aichon— 12:24, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
- Great Idea. I'll make a note on the talk page. -- 12:55, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

What are the plans with this? Wasn't it meant to have started by now? --Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 13:53, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
- Well, it was supposed to be staging at this point, I believe, but I wasn't exactly the driving force behind it all, just a participant. —Aichon— 14:02, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
- Wiki forces will get around to it before the end of the month, I should imagine. --
