There was a thread like this before where you offered to reveal our notes. I didn't want to seem self absorbed then so I didn't ask. I'm fine with being self absorbed now. Any dirt on me?


yeah. Some. Since the poster involved is an admin now and i'm told it was all an elaborate prank after the fact, I'll post this now. At the time I was ready to push the button on the next person to even think aobut posting about it.

If allegory starts into the feud with Usagichan again, nuke the thread/post, issue a mute and inform me.
Or vice versa for Usagichan. A formal warning pm indicating continuation of the feud is unacceptable in the
forums has been sent to both parties, along with notification that whoever starts it will be muted pending
review, and if the other party replies, they will also be muted. ~ Kao.

Yeah, sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I like being an admin, but the job changes your perspective on the forum. Suddenly you can't just say what you want. there are concequinces to posts, and people seem more prone to misinterperet your tone. Sometimes you have to be the "bad guy" when you don't want to be. You get caught between the worlds, and sometimes you have to side with corporate even when "poster kao" is screaming foul play. My pre admin posts are different than my post admin posts. There are fewer of them, because you spend more time fixing things and looking for problems than posting. Sometimes frustration sets in. Especially those times when "poster kao" would have just told someone off and been done with it, but Admin kao has to look at the long game and make a hard decision.

I tried to maintain a seperation in Asylum, but even there, there are levels I can't go that pre admin kao probably would have.

I thought about making a sock actually, and with a spellcheck I probably could pull it off, but it just wouldn't have fealt right. On the other hand, even pre admin days I had a bit of influence in certain areas just because of the amount of time I have been here, and the number of sockpuppets I found back then.

having a ban count higher than my post count makes up for alot of it though! (PM spammers) But there are definitly some days when i wonder how it would have been to just stay a poster. I wonder if I would still be posting?

No new photos at the moment. will have a few soon. Got the mantle piece tiled in over the fireplace, and the front yard is starting to look like a real yard. needs plants and mroe barkdust though. and better grass. The back yard still needs a fence though too.

AVG is a decent free one. I use Norton internet security personally, but it isn't free.

That's not a wombat! that's a bandicoot! Run!

I did last year too. Everyone just wants to know aobut their user notes though. I know, I'll ask the other admins a question!

Other admins (including Angsty) How did you first find the site, and how do you feel about being an admin rather than a regular poster?

What the hell, I've got a different question (since I actually have a pretty good idea of what's in my notes already):

What's the query Danalog used to produce the top 250 list, considering that it's four months out of date now? :-D

Are you ever going to bring back custom titles for 10k? How about just for me?


There has been some movement on this, I don't know if it is decided one way or the other, but it looks like we might bring them back for at least some number grouping of some sort.
I hope so! I was the first one over 10k that didn't get one, and I think still the highest without one.

It was more of a philosophical question. But I guess that answer is okay.

Back in 1998, 10 year old monochrome screen PC. was acting funny, owner had their tax information on it, asmed me to take a look at it. Older than dirt. I get in there, power it on for the first time in about a year, and after about 10 minutes I see smoke. The monitor actually caught on fire. It was summer, and a window was open in the room so I was able to literally yank the monitor from the wall and PC, and toss it out the window onto the lawn, where it continued to burn nicely for several minutes. Then the capacitors exploded.

I have to do that again someday. That was fun! (second place would go to 'orange juice glass poured into commodore 128 by 4 year old"

*rofl* :D

Did you ever figure out what caused it to explode? I ask for purely educational purposes... Yes, educational... *shifty eyes*
