Note: I dislike having a long talk page, since it increases the scrolling distance to get to my newest messages. Therefore, don't be surprised if conversations disappear into my black hole.

Sticky Note
I tried to make it less obstructive on the template, which you might like more. The only problem is if you sticky a Clan Chat thread, the two icons can't fit in the same place. 16:45, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I noticed you changed the way you stickied the thread . Do you like the change to the image? 01:15, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright. Sure you don't want the custom signature? It would be like the one you used to have but less dull. 01:28, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Forum:When and where should we use spoilers is now due for closure. I am not neutral enough to close it, though I don't see any clear consensus. 01:34, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also remember to mark Requests for Closure templates as filled once you close the thread. I forgot how to do this. 01:40, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

RE: AutoCVU
Cool, thanks. -- 17:08, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Your total level
That's a known and reported issue. Shame that Cat hasn't gotten around to fixing it yet. 23:55, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

spoiler
wats it for? the forum result was to not use them on quest pages. 01:47, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * but then, that completely removes the point of the thread, if you go ahead and put a spoiler warning anyway. The point was to not have the warnings. Unless you weren't being clear and meant non-quest articles? But that would still be bad, as most articles do contain some level of spoilers. 01:54, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

CVU
... urban dictionary is one of the dumbest sites I know, I use good references like google, not a dictionary that anyone can add to and put what they want in, and did you go to this site first or did your mind go straight to the gutter? 20:13, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

RuneScape:Featured images/File:Al Kharid Desert.png (2)
Use common sense mate! All we had to do was eplace the old image with the new one, and it would meet reqs., etc. --Coolnesse 02:03, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not understanding. The image would be uploaded where File:Al Kharid Desert.png currently is, and it would be in mainspace.  I think the unused in mainspace rule makes no sense for replacement, because if the nomination passes and the image is replaced, it will be used in mainspace.   02:17, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I understood it as meaning when a better image (not necessarily uploaded) is taken and is used to be uploaded under the earlier name.  02:21, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, Cook Me Plox is right. Nominations for replacement can be used to propose that a new version of the image replace the current file. It has happened a couple of times already (see the Avatar of Destruction nominations, etc). 12:20, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

re:checkuser
I have the results, from vstf member User:VegaDark. I would like to keep it off the wiki, at least for now, and you can decide what to do with the information. So next time I'm on irc with you I'll tell you. 03:26, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Re:My note about sysops
Interesting gamble integrating your real-world political views with wiki runnings. I haven't seen many wikians use them in their writings as it runs the risk of alienating certain readers, however, it adds a distinctive taste to the essay that I haven't seen here for some time. "Fortunately, however, those people are well-trusted and well-liked, so it is highly unlikely that they would ever engage in duplicitous conduct." - The first part of that phrasing comes off as awkward, I could also make an argument (that's simply correlation rather causation) of how it doesn't matter how trusted or like the user is when it comes to the chances of them vandalising. Though I don't believe that was your intent from the previous text, I'll attribute it to the wording. "Some administrators like to compromise, or to pull parts of the proposal and implement them when a consensus on the full proposal cannot be reached. This is, in effect, ruling in favor of the supporters, who want change, while neglecting the opposers, who want to maintain the status quo." - This will make for an interesting discussion one day. I feel the essay also relies a bit too heavily on numbers, while I understand they are used for reinforcement of the Congressional analogy, the could give the wrong impression as the grey area of perdition that is "strength of arguments" is also taken into account by administrators. "Even though the wiki isn't perfect, it's still pretty good." - The tone also comes off a bit pessimistic, not recommending anything, although I'm not sure if you took tone into account to begin with. Relating to the # of sysops bit "On the other hand, if there is no clear and present need, the checklist will be enforced a bit more strictly, to ensure that any new sysop is of high caliber." - In this section you blur your personal views a bit with the wikicana (yes, I just made up a wiki version of Americana, though I do prefer "wikidecana" just for consistency in the syllable number...), or culture of the wiki as a whole, which you take great pains to avoid earlier in the essay. Overall, I believe it to be a very good essay that almost sums up the D.A.Project in your own words. Also, kudos for writing that over time with actual revisions, mine have always been done in one sitting (with the exception of BWG) simply to make sure I get it done and not leave it sitting there for six months.
 * Also, an unrelated note, for your quotes page. the infamous Tavvy discussion Look at the bottom of that discussion for Vimes' quote, my favorite in the wiki's history. (make sure you skim the discussion for context first).-- 04:43, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

RE:RSWP
I'm working with Jack to re-vamp things, mainly returning to a by-monthly issue system. Even with that said, the RSWP will not move an inch unless we get submissions. 13:53, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Write an Editorial, then. I always find those amusing. 14:00, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Can't help you there. If Jack and I implement our idea you will have two months to write it, and I'm pretty sure you can squeeze that in there. 14:10, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Might be better if you have a paragraph or two with the other sides viewpoints, but you don't have to. I will post it now if you don't plan to make any further changes. 14:54, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * There's nothing that says you can't, but I discourage having me post it unless you're sure of the quality. 14:56, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Your recent account
Hah, I made it after you blocked that first "sockpuppet" as some sort of joke, but then I had to leave so I couldn't tell you that it was me who made it. Well planned, poorly delivered -- 15:42, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, now I understand, and trust me, I'm not that kind of person. I hate the drama too. -- 15:52, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I had no intent of violating UTP, I was just playing off the somewhat running joke that's been had. -- 16:02, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Liquidhelium VS Liquidhelm
I think the latter name sounds pretty cool; don't see why you hate it so much. 15:56, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
