It reminds me of my grandmother, who recently had her eye removed.

1. What have been your personal best and worst experiences working as an Allakhazam administrator? Directed at both DF and Kaolian, and any other admin who cares to answer.

2. What is my primary IP address when I post with ip forwarding on my Timelordwho account?

What kind of liquor should we send you if we want perma-Excellent?


50 year old brandy served chilled in the gilded skulls of our fallen enimies?


Strangely... I think I can arrange this.


OOOF sorry MD I missed that one.

I do not drink, I had a year there where I was drinking brits under the table. However after a couple of incidents where I got really sick, I don't drink any more. /mumbles frigging allergies

Allakhazam sever(s)? What are the Specs? Pictures?


I don't have precise specs or any pictures, but we have approximatly 24 servers. most of which are fairly beefy Xeons. The entire backend is gigabit, I don't believe we have a NAS at this time. Most everything is clustered, Apache for web, MySQL for data. Router is a newer Cisco. I'll have to dig up more of the specs.

A few of the older servers are macs. everyone hates them.

EDIT: Since you just answered that question within a minute of my posting I don't need this first portion anymore:

I'm going to bed now, and since this thread will be 25 pages deep by tomorrow I'm gonna have to read up. But i do have one more question before I go.

I know some of you have met in real life, be it fan festival or other official event gatherings. I know you guys also play the game just like the rest of us, and it's always fun to see you poking your heads into normal threads and adding game related content and opinions other than just admin stuff. So I'd ask what kind of things you discuss when you meet each other in person. Do you usually stick to just business and game related chit chat, or since you're human like the rest of us do you have any real world hot topic conversations that you like to talk about, be it other hobbies or whatnot.


And barring that

Quote:
There are definitly posters we tend to dislike more than others. The ones that constantly make more messes for us to clean up. Or the ones who try to get us fired over stupid sh*t.


I'd ask what the heck you're talking about here, but on second thought... it probably wouldn't be in my best interest. I'd probably have a pack of rabid angry badgers mailed to my door to asplode in my face when I opened the box... or maybe something even worse Smiley: laugh. I don't know how you guys think after all (maybe its best that way).

Edit: to respond to the above

Quote:

That particular button is mostly a legacy from comment system 1.0, the precurser to the forum as it stands now. under that, you could create sub topics under main topics, indented. It probably doesn't need to exist anymore, but it isnt really hurting anything.


Tell that to all the people who have accidentally started new topics instead of replying to old ones by mistake, only to have the new topic nuked to sub-default for it Smiley: frown

I actually have a question. What is the purpose of the "New Subject" button sandwiched in between the the "Thread Index" button and the "Reply to This" button on every thread? Obviously it's function is easy to decipher, it creates a new thread right then and there at the top of form you're viewing. But what's the practical purpose of it? That button is also why people usually post new topics that they never intended to post.

Wouldn't it be easier to remove the ability to start a new thread when viewing an existing one? I already know where the new topic button is anyway on the form index page, if I want to make one I just hit the "thread index" button and then "New Subject" at the top right. The ability to create a new thread when viewing an existing one seems unnecessary and confusing, and when people create new threads which were intended to be replies to existing ones using it 95% of the time they don't even know that's why it happened.

This I can relate to when I moderated an anime forum a couple of years back.
I've often wanted to reach through my monitor and beat certain posters with a 2X4 about the head.

Tailmon just reminded me, what are the chances of adding an anime forum to the cross-game forums list? Or what would it take to convince the staff of the strong desire for such a forum? A hard to locate anime journal has nearly as many threads as the scifi forums and is far, far younger.
