Ask an Admin Day 2012 thread of doom!Follow

1. Am I still on the list of top spam reporters?

2. How was Smash able to post pictures without premium? Did he bribe one of you to do it for him?

How will the Admin team survive if Hostess isn't bought out and does in fact cease to exist?

We have access to the following technology:

Kaolian's Cheesecake
Step 1
Crust:
Ingrediants:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped cashews
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
5 tablespoons butter, melted

In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, chopped cashews, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and melted butter. Mix well and press into the bottom of a 10 inch springform pan. Bake in preheated oven for 6-7 minutes. (double recipie for adding a side wall if desired)

Step 2:
Cheesecake:
1 (16oz) pound ricotta cheese
1 ½ (24 oz) pounds cream cheese
1 cup white sugar
6 eggs
4 tabelspoons all-purpose flour
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 tsp Orange extract

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Cream together ricotta cheese, cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in the eggs one at a time. Add flour one tablespoon at a time, mixing well. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla. Pour mixture into the 10-inch spring form pan with your crust mixture at the bottom.
3. Place cheesecake in the middle of the oven, making sure that it is not too close to the top heating element. Bake for 90 minutes. If the top of the cheesecake begins to brown, cover it with Aluminum foil.
4. After 90 minutes turn oven off, but leave the cake in the oven for another 60 minutes (do not open door. this allows the cake to cool without cracking. Step can be eliminated if you are short on time).
5. Cool on counter for 60 minutes and then refrigerate. Serve when thoroughly chilled.

Notes: Ricotta and cream cheese amounts can be swapped for a smoother cheesecake.

Blueberry Sauce:
1 part frozen blueberries to ½ part sugar. add 1/2 Tsp good cinimon Heat over medium low heat until sugar is dissolved and sauce is thickened. Add 1/4 cup corn starch to 1 cup cold water, stir, and add as a thickening agent if you like.

I don't think we'll starve.

Damnit, now I want cheescake and seconds ago I was dreaming about a hot tub filled with twinkees

New fangled giant duck feather currency after our horse-sized duck overlords take over the world, of course.

Kao, please tell us about the most annoying thing you've ever had to deal with as an admin (other than this question)

Also, any admins out there, what is your favourite flavor of ice cream?

Also: Pie? Or Cake?

Hmm. Thats a tough one. Theres always the repeat banned users (godraiden, etc) who for whatever reason I can't get banned on their ISP end, though these days we can deal with those quicker. The large scale DDOS spammers we had several years back were certianly up there. The occasional personal attack can get annoying, but are often an excuse to let yourself off the leash too, so they aren't all bad, and sometimes its just fun banning clueless spammers who can't figure out why their links keep changing to cannotlinkto. Probably the most annoying part of the job though is having to click all the links to intercept the bad ones. Not the viruses so much, my system is pretty much immune to those, but the various offensive images and whatnot people like to post. In my career as an Intel analyst, we often had to go look at pretty horrible things to try and gather intel on ongoing incidents. Things I have seen here are considerably worse. You really don't want to know what some of them were, and no forum admin on the planet gets paid enough to see some of those things. On a few rare occasions over the years, we have had to involve law enforcement.


recently, it's been Cake batter. that stuff is addictive. Strawberry is good too though.


Cakepie! its a cake with a pie baked inside, and it was invented, created and even theoretically patented in these very forums long before mainstream cake artists ever even attempted to make one!

Cookies & Cream or Cookie Dough by far.

Here you go Mr Kaolian sir:

1. <ZOMG you now haz teh leprosy & necrotised dangly-bits>
Does my "Catching Leprosy & necrotised dangly-bit"s code work?
</ZOMG you now haz teh leprosy & necrotised dangly-bits>

2. Do you still keep the scratch'n'sniff portrait of Dracoid under your pillow?

3. Have NASA got around to classifying Darqflame's cleavage yet?

4. Did you *really* still respect me the morning after?

Which Big Bang Theory character best describes you?

I dunno. Howard's the only airplane geek, but its not a good fit.

Would it be possible for Vlorsutes to be given a Rate Button ?
