 * So you should be, your talk page is on my watchlist! :P See now I have to punish you, I've just noticed that the crazy person who uploaded your sig icon made it one pixel too high and it's wrecking my talk pages line spacing! --Xasxas256 23:47, 28 December 2006 (CST)


 * Yours is on mine as well, I'm just not very observant and tend to dart to the bottom of talk pages to see whats new. And...ummm...weren't you the crazy person who uploaded my sig icon?  If so feel free to shrink it one pixel if its size is a problem.  Its the least I can do after not noticing your greatness for so long :P. (walks away trying to think of how big a pixel is and if shrinking it will have any visible affect on the sig)&mdash; [[Image:Azroth sig.png||builds]] Azroth  [[Image:Azroth sig2.png||talk]]  23:53, 28 December 2006 (CST)

 * Hahaha! I can notice you're playing too much when you don't know what's happening in the wiki. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 08:15, 3 January 2007 (CST)


 * This is cool, people keep randomly thanking me. Hopefully I can stretch this out to Easter! --Xasxas256 21:08, 3 January 2007 (CST)


 * I have no idea of what is going on. But, seems like everyone is congratulating you. So, seeing you were the only one who cared to post on my old talk page (58.24.194.160 it was about moving a section of a talk page but oh well im so happy now), I'm going to have to say Congratulations. :D Nova 07:16, 11 January 2007 (CST)

Help Request
er... I was wondering if it'd be possible to clean up some of the pages that I've edited but don't want to mess things up more. It's in the Discussion sections of the Build:Team - "Steel Wall" Deep Group and Build:Team - Barrage/Pet (Tomb Ruins). Pae 15:21, 1 December 2006 (CST)
 * I've answered your queries on the talk pages of those two articles ;) --Xasxas256 00:52, 2 December 2006 (CST)


 * uhhh, i kinda made a bunch of redirects of this build, i was putting in wrong places and stuff, and then i thought deleting the content would delete the page, so there are a bunch of blank pages, i was hoping you could delete them for me--Uagathy101 03:38, 14 January 2007 (CST)


 * No worries, "Vigorous Signet", "Build:W/Mo", "Build:W/Mo Vigorous Signet" and "Build:W/Mo Vigorous Signet" have been deleted ;) --Xasxas256 04:32, 14 January 2007 (CST)

Dye images
I recently upgraded the dye images to .png and all uniform size, style, etc (see User:Bexor/Sandbox for comparisons between the old ones and my new ones). I slapped delete tags on the old ones because most of them are crappy and the new .pngs can be used in a lot more situations (coloured bgs like on user pages plus they resize a loot nicer). Now the only page linking to them is my sandbox, so no probs right? EXCEPT GRAY DYE. D:

It's on 20 million pages!! I don't mind editing them all separately but it's so much, can you use robots to do it? I like robots. :D

So what should I do? I can go ahead and do them all - they are all merchant articles - but I wanted "official" advice first. ;D

Plus it's fun to stalk ya. - BeXoR   04:03, 2 December 2006 (CST)   (I'm joking rly don't call police).
 * huh? Last I looked, while the jpg format loses some resolution due to compression, it resized better than png on the wiki - while could be fixed with the right add-in, but as far as I know, it was never added.  In the past on the wiki, png has always tended to pixelate more and lose crispness faster than jpg when resized. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 12:18, 2 December 2006 (CST)
 * edit: I just looked into the Dye article. Myself, I prefer the jpg format.  Less pixelation in the reduced size images. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 12:23, 2 December 2006 (CST)
 * Sooooo we're leaving it for now? Does this mean I can go back to watching the cricket? :P --Xasxas256 19:50, 2 December 2006 (CST)
 * I still much prefer the new ones, as they are more flexible now, and plus they match. The reason they are looking so pixelly is probably because of the way I cut the image. I will work on fixing it later on (doing xmas shopping today). If I fail completely I'll resave them all as jpg. - BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 21:14, 2 December 2006 (CST)
 * The pixellation is a result of the images being png format. Check other resized png images, most will do that.  I've even seen some resized png images mangle the color assignments.  It's a limitation of the image rendering done by the wiki software, and is a problem that has been known for a long time (this is a large part of the reason that all skill icons are jpg and not png on the wiki).  An add-in exists that can allow png images to display better, but it doesn't appear to have been installed on the wiki as yet.  --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 15:36, 3 December 2006 (CST)
 * I just added this at Image talk:BlackDye.jpg; but the conversation is fragmented, so I'll post it here too:
 * Note #7 under "Rule of Thumb" in GW:IMAGE: 7. Use JPEG format for most images, PNG files do not scale well in this Wiki, and GIF files are usually of too low a quality.  This is the same reason that we use jpg for skill icons as those get resized in some uses. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 10:44, 5 December 2006 (CST)
 * Well that sucks. :( I'll fix up the jpgs so they look better, but it might be a couple of days away. Christmas time is.. ARGH! I decided I'm doing the table setting and it ended up costing a lot more than I thought and two of the things I couldn't buy so I'm making them. :S That's me, always over-zealous. Well, at least the .pngs are nice for userpages with coloured backgrounds. That's why I made them. :/ - BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 01:28, 6 December 2006 (CST)

Block of User:83.135.153.128
I think you shouldn't have removed the offensive comment from User talk:Dralspire. (Maybe consor the offensive words, but not remove the comment alltogether.) I think in such cases it is better to comment and stated that (and why) the IP has been banned. And by the way: I think a 3 day ban was MUCH too mild for an offense like that. Make it 3 months, at least. -- 06:30, 12 December 2006 (CST)

Same guy as Special:Contributions/83.135.160.171 &mdash; Skuld 06:32, 12 December 2006 (CST)


 * I actually saw that user's comment at the time but we don't have a blocking policy anymore to follow so I wasn't really sure. I look the IP up it seems like it's shared (that's how I interpret Dynamic Pool) so who knows when it'll be someone else's IP. When the ban tag was added I figured I should move on it. I consider 3 months too long because the IP will surely change hands in that time but 3 days is probably too short, the only thing in the persons favour was no prior history (or at least not from that IP address).


 * As for the comment removal, it was just done manually, not using admin tools. That was done as a courtesy, me acting as a user not an admin, same as I would have done a month ago pre sysoping. The comment didn't just use foul language, there was no point to it. If it asked a valid question in unacceptable language I'd probably have censored it as you say, but that was just puerile.


 * Just read Skuld's post, I guess that's the problem with dynamic IPs. --Xasxas256 06:42, 12 December 2006 (CST)


 * Edit: Obviously I should have written this...what do you guys think, I'm a new admin and would like to know your thoughts!!! --Xasxas256 06:58, 12 December 2006 (CST)


 * Another one offering advice. I use the thought, ban however long you deem is appropriate. The factors I look at are whether it's a dynamic IP addresses, the severity of the vandalism, and what kind of mood I'm in ;) I don't think any of the admins actually ban the same way, so it's kind of a learning thing, just don't accidently ban me :P &mdash; Gares 07:19, 12 December 2006 (CST)


 * Woo hoo I can't lose! I can be a Rouge admin now! Actually ever since I've been sysoped I've always wondered what would happen if I banned myself... --Xasxas256 07:44, 12 December 2006 (CST)


 * That would be interesting :p unblock me &mdash; Skuld 07:58, 12 December 2006 (CST)


 * Ha ha ha, I guess you can block yourself!!! I didn't know if it'd work. --Xasxas256 07:59, 12 December 2006 (CST)



Hmm, now theres a dilema.. &mdash; Skuld 08:04, 12 December 2006 (CST)


 * That is odd! Check this out:


 * That was from Special:Ipblocklist. You can see I clicked the unblock link then decided I'd let you stay blocked :P --Xasxas256 08:09, 12 December 2006 (CST)


 * I'll let you admin guys work out the technical issues with banning. ;) I just wanted to add: Editing out offensive comments makes little sense on a wiki, because it's all saved in the history. Removing a comment on a user talk page causes two problems: 1) It violates the basic policy that nobody should edit somebody else's statements on talk page. Editorial content may be edited mercyless, but not talk pages. 2) It confuses the user. He will receive a notification "You have new messages.", but when he checks, he finds no message. Now, if he's familiar with wikimedia he will look up the history of his talk page to find out what's going on, so he will read the message anyway. --[[Image:TurningL sml.gif|Tetris L]] 08:29, 12 December 2006 (CST)


 * Maybe I should have used an admin one click revert. I basically considered it vandalism, same if someones talk page was blanked by a vandal I would have restored it. To me it wasn't a legitimate comment it was just vandalism. I didn't consider that "You have new messages" box though and I wonder if a one click admin revert would have stopped that from coming up. --Xasxas256 14:59, 12 December 2006 (CST)


 * Personally I think 3 days is more than enough. Depending on the ISP an hour ban would be enough! I wouldn't have removed the comment. I would have replied, and possibly censored the comment. But you are right, it was pretty much vandalism, so you aren't in the wrong for deleting it. I think you did fine Xasxas :)  &lt;LordBiro&gt;/&lt;Talk&gt; 15:07, 12 December 2006 (CST)


 * Edit conflict
 * The admin revert should still leave the notice, although I haven't tested it (feel free to post on my talkpage, then revert it - I'll let you know if the message shows).
 * If this had been a first occurance, I likely would've responded that unprovoked personal attacks are grounds for administrative action being taken (replying both to the original post, as well as on the author's talk). But, in this case, I'm the one who reverted the edit at Guide to evolving a Dire Pet, and would've recalled the edit by the other IP - so I would've likely just struck out the comment, added the comment about unprovoked personal attacks, then banned him for a few days to a week (appears dynamic IP, so no huge benefit for longer).  I have no objections to reverting it either, though.  My main thought is on the message notice to the user who has the space.  --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 15:14, 12 December 2006 (CST)

Bit of a dickwad, wasn't he? Thanks for blocking him. -Auron  05:32, 13 December 2006 (CST)

 * Personally Xas, I think you're too soft. :P  I would have made it at least a year for this one.  :)  --Rainith 12:05, 13 December 2006 (CST)

 * When you move an article, a redirect tag is put in it's place. Yes, you'll have to place a delete tag on each redirect. Welcome to the world of crusading. &mdash; Gares 00:58, 22 December 2006 (CST)

 * Can you take a look at User:Bexor/Collectors for me and if you can spread it around. I'll leave a note on some other peoples' talk pages too, but I don't know who is involved in this sort of thing. - <font color=#3E7A90>BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 06:59, 22 December 2006 (CST)
 * Seems ok to me, although you might want to remove the comments (e.g. <-- leave blank if unknown, do not omit), people normally copy/paste those and we probably don't need them in the actual template. --Xasxas256 06:33, 23 December 2006 (CST)
 * Buahahaha I copied and pasted them from the NPC template! :P I will remove them. :) - <font color=#3E7A90>BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 07:02, 23 December 2006 (CST)

 * explains it but basically the ladder is meaningless now, you won't get much rating from them. It's all about "Daily Automated Tournaments" now meaning any guild that like GvG but it's really serious is going to find it hard because they've got to get 8 players all ready to go at the scheduled time. Because we're in the US servers we're probably going to have to play at 5AM or something... ;( --Xasxas256 03:05, 24 December 2006 (CST)


 * Ya I read that but it said something about "all time zones". I wonder if they just mean US time zones. I wonder if the schedule is allocated to a guild or if the matches are held every 15 mins or something. - <font color=#3E7A90>BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 03:08, 24 December 2006 (CST)


 * I dunno but I'm feeling very glass is half empty at the moment, I don't like the sound of it all. --Xasxas256 08:18, 24 December 2006 (CST)


 * Wow. My Internet just went down, and now, all these things start popping up. o.0 What's this about ths new GvG? Is it permanant? And, how did Wintersday go? -- Chuck 20:48, 25 December 2006 (CST)
 * It sounds permanent, the ladder is supposed to reset for the last time on Jan 1st. From then on GvG is based around tournaments, I'm not sure how the scheduling will work yet but if we to play at times that suit Americans because I'm on the Yank server it's going to very very for GvGing in Australia. We'll have to wait and see though I guess. The worst thing is that if you join a new guild you have to wait 30 days before you can ener a tourney with them. Goodbye non hardcore GvGers I guess, guilds are only going to want core players and recruiting will be very difficult. The ELO ladder system was one of the best things about Guild Wars in my opinion, I don't know why that had to tinker with it. --Xasxas256 04:22, 26 December 2006 (CST)

Hi. Would you like to view and comment Talk:Main Page/editcopy. Thank you in advance! -- (talk) 21:58, 27 December 2006 (CST)

image size
I was just looking at the recent changes list and User:Bobit is adding a lot of new images, although they look nice and are good quality they are 300kb each, some of them. These are just images for the beast articles. They also have quite a bit of background in them. -- Xeon 09:43, 28 December 2006 (CST)
 * I've just brought it up with Bobit, Image use policy states that Larger images should generally be a maximum of 550 pixels wide. You Aussies bringing me work just because I'm up late again with nothing better to do! I should have been getting an early night so I can get into the cricket tomorrow early but oh well. --Xasxas256 10:10, 28 December 2006 (CST)
 * Pfft count yourself lucky, Us aussies (your aussie too btw) are to lazy to do anything. cricket? what cricket? i thought the match was over today -- Xeon 10:15, 28 December 2006 (CST)

 * Im going to guess where you are, sydney? -- Xeon 10:17, 28 December 2006 (CST)
 * We're doing well at the moment! Nah you were right the first time, I planned on going to the cricket tomorrow but the test finished today so instead of getting an early night in preperation for a day at the cricket, I'm instead up late being made too look like a fool by Skuld and trying to explain this to you!! (Which is probably making us both look foolish :P ) --Xasxas256 10:23, 28 December 2006 (CST)
 * People get things wrong, if skuld didnt pick up the mistake someone else would. I didnt bother watching any of the cricket, i knew australia was just going to wipe them and wipe them they did. Meh, i should be going to bed too. Cya next time. -- Xeon 10:27, 28 December 2006 (CST)
 * Hmm what guild are you in, i cant see it on the user page. -- Xeon 10:28, 28 December 2006 (CST)
 * I should go to bed but I've still got a babel box to work on as well as Gem's improvement thing to look over properly. I've almost finished for the night though! (as long as nobody brings me more work :P )
 * Edit conflict: Ironically with an edit asking me to do more! It's a bit of a long explanation my guild the short version is that it's a PvP guild founded by members of a GvG guild that used to be allied with AuS. Why do you ask? Are you looking for a guild? --Xasxas256 10:32, 28 December 2006 (CST)
 * Ya, pretty much, surfing around for an active australian guild. doesn't really matter what type of play. -- Xeon 10:39, 28 December 2006 (CST)
 * Ok wiki code babel done, score one for me! I can send you an invite but we're pretty much PvP, we're in a HA alliance but I'm more of a GvG fan myself. --Xasxas256 10:55, 28 December 2006 (CST)

On User talk:Rapta Skuld not only said i make "stupidass comments" but countinued to make fun of me and be offesive. I find it very horrid and hypocritical that you ignore his horrible behavoir simply beacuse he has admin power. He seems to never stop in making fun of me, my builds, and my intelligence.--TheDrifter 22:08, 28 December 2006 (CST)


 * Drifter: If you're interested, I answered on Skulds talk page. Although you haven't acted like you should have (judging from the different talk pages I have watched), it seems to me that Skuld isn't completely innoscent. I'm not accusing anyone of anything as I haven't research all of the events, but you can be sure that no injustice is done. If you have violated the wiki policies and understand that it was wrong, you might get a small ban. The same goes for Skuld. Otherwise it's just politics, discussion and more discussion. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 22:22, 28 December 2006 (CST)


 * Given that the he was responding to your comment: Honestly, who made you an admin? Your mother? You and SkuldJR (Rapta) are two of the biggest jerks to me on this wiki. I'm not entirely sure you have a leg to stand on. What Skuld said wasn't particularly nice but what you said was a offensive and direct personal attack. I'm not sure where he's continued to make fun of you though. You behaviour seems to have developed a pattern of personal attacks against Skuld and Rapta. Skuld's comment was more in the mould of a one off expression of mild exasperation to something pretty nasty being said about him. I also don't see any abuse of admin power being committed by Skuld but I'm happy to look into anything that is brought to my attention. --Xasxas256 22:25, 28 December 2006 (CST)

I said they were jerks to me. And I never called anyone an ass, he called me an ass a "stupidass" infact.--TheDrifter 22:29, 28 December 2006 (CST)
 * Aw, man. You called me SkuldJR. That's pretty offensive, but I'll let it slide. =) &mdash; Rapta  [[image:Rapta_Icon1.gif|19px]] (talk|contribs) 22:30, 28 December 2006 (CST)
 * I'd think you'd be flatterd. If I don't get banned over voicing my concerns about Skuld being above the rules I'll be sure to make you a userbox.--TheDrifter 22:34, 28 December 2006 (CST)
 * It's pretty hard to be Skuld Jr., seeing as he's so young already. Just pointing out the obvious. Entropy 22:35, 28 December 2006 (CST)
 * Aww, you're really going to do that? That's so sweet. I don't know why anyone would ban you. =P &mdash; Rapta  [[image:Rapta_Icon1.gif|19px]] (talk|contribs) 22:36, 28 December 2006 (CST)
 * Everoyone, stop flaming each other. If you want to continue real discussion, go to Skulds talk page. I've also posted my conclusion there. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 22:40, 28 December 2006 (CST)

Ty for cleaning up my mess lol. ^_^ - <font color=#3E7A90>BeXoR   04:16, 29 December 2006 (CST)
 * Heh heh, things were a lot messier this morning (read ^ and you'll see what I'm talking about). I'd prefer to clean up your mess anyday. That probably could have come out better! --Xasxas256 04:22, 29 December 2006 (CST)

Copyrighted images
What is to be done when someone is uploading copyrighted images? I've reverted them so far, but I'm beginning to think a revision deletion is more in place. &mdash; Galil  08:14, 29 December 2006 (CST)

Addition: Example, some of these images are copied straight from the collector's edition art books. &mdash; Galil  08:15, 29 December 2006 (CST)

Yet another addition: It seems those images were also from the various Fansite Kits, but the question still remains as what one should do if a copyrighted image was to pop up. &mdash; Galil  09:45, 29 December 2006 (CST)
 * We are allowed to use any image from in-game or from the guildwars.com galleries - others should only be used with the permission of ArenaNet or its representatives. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 11:19, 29 December 2006 (CST)

Got a double-reverter going on here. They think they have the right to revoke a "tested" status based soley on their vote vs. the majority and reverted the status twice. I'm putting up a ban notice as it is a bannable offense. — Jyro X 15:20, 29 December 2006 (CST)
 * I left messages for the user. The user now appears to be following site policies now that he's aware of them, so I've removed the ban request. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 15:50, 29 December 2006 (CST)

Thankyou
Thanks for taking action in regards to User:Fable Warlord. I really appreciate it...the situation was starting to get just a little weird and out of hand. I wish you admins didn't have to deal with such things so much, though...but I guess it's part of the job, and the Wiki is better for it. Again, thank yous :) Entropy 07:28, 3 January 2007 (CST)


 * Good job handling this one. I think your ban notice and duration were just what they should have been. I also looked at other contributions of the user and he should really think twice (or thrice maby) before posting stuff on talk pages. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 07:47, 3 January 2007 (CST)


 * No worries guys, as I said to Gem once, becoming an admin hasn't been the life changing thing I thought it'd be, it's just more work! --Xasxas256 21:08, 3 January 2007 (CST)


 * Ofcourse it isn't making a lot of difference. Just a few extra tools, some more things you must do and possibly some more respect from others. But don't you feel usefull now? :) --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 02:25, 4 January 2007 (CST)


 * Probably less respect now that I've become one of them! I do feel like I have to edit and respond more responsibly to things although I've always been pretty measured and considered anyway. Congrats on the big 1.5 too ;) --Xasxas256 02:56, 4 January 2007 (CST)


 * Thank you very much! --Kalomeli & [[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 03:25, 5 January 2007 (CST)

Moving pages
I've been looking for information on how to move pages and I haven't found any, as I'd like to move one of my builds to my userspace. Can you please help? --Ufelder 00:11, 4 January 2007 (CST)
 * Well I've got some info on it here. In simple terms you use the move tab at the top then add a tag to the old article if required. Sing out if you need more help ;) --Xasxas256 00:17, 4 January 2007 (CST)

hey
Im going to be off gw for a few days, my computer has taken a turn for the worst suddenly and my cpu is running 100% with the smallest tasks. It is either my hdd or motherboard and i hope its the cheaper of the two -_-. Anyway im on a freinds laptop, just thought i would tell you why i will be idling for the next few days possibly till after monday. -- Xeon 14:07, 4 January 2007 (CST)
 * I'm not entirely sure how a faulty HDD or M/B would make your CPU run at 100%...sounds a lot more like a malicious/poorly written piece of software to me...but hey you're the one doing Software Eng! Anyway good luck with it. --Xasxas256 21:12, 4 January 2007 (CST)

Zaishen Elite
I did when it was first released, after that I lost interest. My information is therefor old, and if someone is saying elsewise with more recent testing, I defer to them. And Faction seemed to work generally like how suggested... with the cap increasing the number of rounds you go (many, many times I would die at X rounds, still gaining faction, but when I restarted gain nothing). Ubermancer 23:05, 4 January 2007 (CST)
 * Soooo no hard figure hey? :( I was hoping for something a bit more definate because FoxBat was a bit vague too, 8 or 9 AI and the max cap thing "Needs more testing" in his/her words. Oh well I've put it into Category:Research needed for now. Thanks anyway. --Xasxas256 09:29, 5 January 2007 (CST)

3 gifts
--Midnight08 10:08, 5 January 2007 (CST)
 * Heh thanks. But I'm not ready to archive my talk page yet, my old one was 120KB long and I only made it after I was sysoped. This time it should be at least 150KB and I'm made a bureaucrat :P --Xasxas256 10:18, 5 January 2007 (CST)
 * hahaha cool, though of the last 1 when i was about to make the 1st 2 and saw the little blurb at the top... i think i will make a template for that now tho=P to "suggest" archive's =P --Midnight08 10:21, 5 January 2007 (CST)

Sig Ok?
Is this Sig OK? Just thought I'd run it past you before I start spamming it everywhere lol. <font color=#FF00000>Branek Hellbringer    02:37, 8 January 2007 (CST)

 * Looks good to me. I'm sure if there is a problem someone will notice and let you know. Like when I made mine lol. - <font color=#3E7A90>BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 03:01, 8 January 2007 (CST)
 * I would recommend you to make the image a redirect to your user page. Also, the red is a disturbing color. Could you make it a bit lighter? Otherwise the sig is ok. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 09:05, 8 January 2007 (CST)
 * Something was red? :o - <font color=#3E7A90>BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 10:28, 8 January 2007 (CST)
 * The text of the sig is red. Maby it doesn't show for you correctly as he has 7 numbers instead of 6 in the color code. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 10:56, 8 January 2007 (CST)
 * It should be all fixed now :P I even changed the colour for you lol. Like it? [[Image:Branek-Sig.gif]] <font color=#436eee>Branek Hellbringer  [[Image:Branek-Sig.gif]]  19:40, 8 January 2007 (CST)
 * I allready posted on your talk page, but its great now. I also noticed your thank you section on your talk page. Was nice running you! But I don't remember running a level 3 elonian ele lately. Was the ele I run a deleted one? --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 19:42, 8 January 2007 (CST)
 * Yep, He's on the delete chars page :P I also saw you at the Wintersday festival, got a screen shot too. [[Image:Branek-Sig.gif]] <font color=#436eee>Branek Hellbringer  [[Image:Branek-Sig.gif]]  01:19, 9 January 2007 (CST)
 * Lol, you got a rare shot indeed as I'm not often seen in game on a public area. If I'm online, I'm questing or doing missions with Kalomeli, unless a lucky customers spots online and asks for a run. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 02:01, 9 January 2007 (CST)
 * lol I feel so privledged :), the photo is on my talk page [[Image:Branek-Sig.gif]] <font color=#436eee>Branek Hellbringer  [[Image:Branek-Sig.gif]]  02:50, 9 January 2007 (CST)
 * Was this the last event of the wintersday? If it was, I was online alone, otherwise Kalomeli was just next to me with her char Agrema and a similiar pink armor set. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 02:53, 9 January 2007 (CST)
 * I think it was the last event, and I dont remeber seeing Kalomeli, the persons name I blanked out is part of a guild called "eRb" and he's a dervish [[Image:Branek-Sig.gif]] <font color=#436eee>Branek Hellbringer  [[Image:Branek-Sig.gif]]  02:55, 9 January 2007 (CST)
 * You couldn't have missed her if she was there. We were always dancing next to each other in the ring, excluding the last event when she was asleep. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 06:38, 9 January 2007 (CST)
 * ...Just feel like I should say something given that I've last 16 replies...! P.S. Sig heaps better now compared to jumping men! --Xasxas256 07:00, 9 January 2007 (CST)
 * Was wondering when you were going to pop up :), thanks for your help getting it all sorted before [[Image:Branek-Sig.gif]] <font color=#436eee>Branek Hellbringer  [[Image:Branek-Sig.gif]]  08:17, 9 January 2007 (CST)
 * Hehe, sorry for hijacking your talk page Xas. I hope they wont come to my talk page with their lame user boxes. "This user uses XasXas256's talk page as a forum" or something even lamer. ;) --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2007 (CST)

Gamer box
Hey, check out the new version of my Gamer box and see if it doesn't hurt your eyes. :P I changed the second yellow color to silver, so it goes gold/silver/gold/siver now. More blingage. ;) --Rainith 17:10, 8 January 2007 (CST)
 * I think the background colour needs to be a little lighter. - <font color=#3E7A90>BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 22:19, 8 January 2007 (CST)
 * Sorry for the very late reply, looks much better now ;) Although maybe it could do with more bling, have you thought about adding solid ice? --Xasxas256 07:00, 9 January 2007 (CST)
 * LOL! I would use the solid ice heart, but I'm afraid Gem might think I'm trying to steal his.  As for the background color, I was trying to go with something like the color of a darkened (powered down) monitor for it.  If you have a different color to suggest Bexor (but not a color already used for a title box background), please do.  --Rainith 20:34, 10 January 2007 (CST)
 * I dont know what the title background is, but I think #669999 looks nicer because it isn't as contrasty with the first box. - <font color=#3E7A90>BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 20:39, 10 January 2007 (CST)
 * Have you seen the Unlucky box? You can't get much more of a contrast then black and white.  :P  I'll try to see if I can find a different color (I'm not a fan of #669999 for this box).  --Rainith 20:54, 10 January 2007 (CST)
 * The thing is, that one works because the pic of the cat is black too. - <font color=#3E7A90>BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 21:01, 10 January 2007 (CST)
 * Sorry Bexor, I couldn't come up with another color I liked for that one. --Rainith 02:24, 15 January 2007 (CST)

WTF?
Have you seen this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pZuGJW08Uw I'm so confused. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. :( - <font color=#3E7A90>BeXoR   21:29, 9 January 2007 (CST)

 * Deleted and IP blocked. Thanks for the heads up guys. --Xasxas256 08:01, 10 January 2007 (CST)
 * Out of curiosity what should I, Joe User, do if I see this kinda thing happening? Alert Admin, alert <random/one I like the most> Admin, alert <last seen in recent activity> Admin, slap a ban tag on the user page myself...? --NieA7 08:06, 10 January 2007 (CST)
 * You normally always use   although if you add a note to my talk page I'll notice You have new messages first ;) If I'm ever in my room watching TV I'll generally have Recent changes open and will refresh it every couple of minutes just to make sure there isn't something I have to attend to (good edit summaries are quite helpful if I see "+ban" it'll immeditately grab my attention). I check Category:Candidates for banning pretty regularly but for something urgent I'll probably notice something on an admins talk page first, I've got all the active admins on my watchlist and I'd image they they've done the same. Sorry I didn't mean to write to much, in short for major/mass vandalism use  and hit the most recently active admin's talk page, otherwise just  is probably fine ;) --Xasxas256 08:29, 10 January 2007 (CST)
 * Gotcha, I'll remember that for the future :) --NieA7 08:45, 10 January 2007 (CST)

Thank you for Moving the Ranger page, however I have 3 other pages created that way as well if you wana delete them, they are all being redirected to the newer pages right now.--Saranis 03:54, 26 January 2007 (CST)
