Curse
What a long journey it's been. 21:46, 30 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Indeed. &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 21:47, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Paid sponsorship?
Would Curse.com have any interest in buying a limited-term, paid sponsorship of GuildWars@Wikia? This might be an easy way to keep the word out and do an end-run around Wikia staff's usual interference in wiki self-determination. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 19:45, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * That's a great idea, I'll talk to Donovan about it. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 19:50, 1 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Cools &mdash; one good idea is about my quota for the year :-) — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 00:50, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Some person on wowpedia has invested some money in google ads, so maybe advertising on the "guildwiki" adword for a time might make sense. We'll have to wait for google to get to know this site (get the word out, people! advertise on forums and everyplace else GuildWars you go to), and then figure out how much we need this. --◄mendel► 05:19, 2 December 2010 (UTC)


 * That might be an even better idea. I wouldn't wait to see &mdash; if curse wants to invest money and time, let's offer them these ideas and let them decide (they probably know better than we do how to generate traffic). — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 05:24, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for all the time and effort you have contributing to helping Guild Wiki arrive here safely and smoothly. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 19:46, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * You're very welcome. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 19:50, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * indeed, thank you. Also, what happened to the birthdays? RT wants me to get back to them. Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 20:20, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I wasn't aware that anything happened to them. They seem rather intact to me- User birthdays. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 22:43, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

more merging
Could you please merge User:mendel into User:GW-mendel, deleting User:mendel? The former is not me, but the latter is my shoepuppet. --GW-mendel 23:55, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
 * If it's not you I can't grant your request. That would be unethical. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 00:19, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * No it wouldn't. Have a look at the contribs. --◄mendel► 00:36, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * One is one too many. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 00:43, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I waved my magic wand. --◄mendel► 00:55, 3 December 2010 (UTC)


 * That was some blatant disregard for policy you showed just then, mendel. You don't remove other people's comments from talk pages.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 01:02, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Says the guy who deletes talkpages. (In other words, yes, we do.) --◄mendel► 01:20, 3 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm going to make an exception for mendel since he wants to use User:Mendel as his main account and it hasn't been used since before Wikia, but as a rule we should not usermerge without the consent of both accounts' owners. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 01:19, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * How about not having a rule and using common sense instead? --◄mendel► 01:20, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Ehh. I guess. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 01:22, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

This Space Intentionally Left Blank
stalk RC more!(hint: timestamps) &mdash; Scythe   14:37, 4 Dec 2010 (UTC)
 * The halfsecond and second versions are neat! (The yellow elite frmaes are a bit distracting, though.) --◄mendel► 11:41, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Take the one-second version and try to name every skill as its icon appears. It's harder than you might think. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png|link=User:Felix Omni]] 12:16, 5 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I have all the skill icons saved without any extra borders applied. It may take a little while to compile them, since I have them named by skill ID instead of by skill name, but I could do that if you want to make a "clean" version.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 14:23, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I think I could grab them off GWW in that form; however, the server being weird atm would be an issue, as would my perma b&, spose I could just log out, tho and use my ip's page. Alternatively, doesn't GWTB or paw-ned2 sort by skill #? I also know all the skills by icon, so I could just do it by sight.  Dunno, pick 1... &mdash;  Scythe   15:12, 5 Dec 2010 (UTC)

User Merge
Merge this with this please, shorter username clogs RC less, userspace pages don't have stupidly long names etc etc. &mdash;  Scythe   0:13, 14 Dec 2010 (UTC)

Stepping down
I feel that the standards of the wiki community have changed from two years ago when I became bureaucrat and administrator to the point where I feel I can't administrate them any longer. Hence, I owe it to the community to step down from the position of trust that required me to do so. I thank everyone who supported me in the past. --◄mendel► 23:30, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll do it in a week. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png|link=User:Felix Omni]] 15:38, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll leave "it" up to your imagination. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png|link=User:Felix Omni]] 15:40, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Could you promote the "real" Rose now? --◄mendel► 15:42, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Is that a nomination? Oh, I see it now. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png|link=User:Felix Omni]] 15:49, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Dude, you spoiled my perfect block free record! Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 16:20, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I could delete your account if you want it back. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png|link=User:Felix Omni]] 16:23, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Omg, I woulndt lose my edits, would I. But no, thanks. I had it coming. Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 16:25, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

omagad
you have your own web browser. Too bad it's only for OSX and isn't ff >:-( &mdash; Scythe   17:50, 29 Dec 2010 (UTC)
 * Omagad. [[Image:EM Signature.jpg]] ***EAGLEMUT***   T  A  L K 18:41, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * There's Omni Hotels... Can I stay at one? ;) For free? X-) I'd be good. Ariyen 19:41, 29 December 2010 (UTC)


 * That's like saying that Paris Hilton gets to stay free at Hilton hotels just because she shares a last name with the founder of... oh, wait. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 21:51, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * :P &mdash; Scythe   22:31, 29 Dec 2010 (UTC)
 * LOL... Actually, it's her Uncle (I think) that owns the Hotels... I'd have to ask my cousin that works at one of the hotels and has golfed with the Hiltons. Anyway, she's not a "direct" in line descendant... Ariyen 22:59, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think you realize how incredibly trivial that is. &mdash; Scythe   23:22, 29 Dec 2010 (UTC)
 * Very trivial, but twas interesting to me... at the time... :-S Ariyen 23:48, 29 December 2010 (UTC)


 * So, does this mean that Felix isn't a direct descendant of Paris Omni? — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 16:54, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * No, but his uncle founded read a science fiction magazine once. --◄mendel► 21:53, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * My cousin was on Jeopardy once. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png|link=User:Felix Omni]] 23:09, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Hey, you!
Update your information at User:Gigathrash/D&D IRC RP. Why? Because I'm going to host the (hopefully) final session sooner rather then later. I am hoping to schedule it before the 20th, so update your information soon, so I can get the word out soon, so we can have it soon.--Łô√ë îğá†ħŕášħ 13:19, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Spam accounts
Could we delete the accounts instead of blocking them indefinitely? Would that be better? --◄mendel► 18:56, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think it would be better per se, just a lateral change. The idea is that we don't want those spam accounts to be reused, but they rarely are anyway. It would make those account names available for legitimate users, but the likelihood of someone wanting "Wonlas" is pretty low. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png|link=User:Felix Omni]] 21:28, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

merge?
I never used the wiki while it was on wikia (and can't log in there). What is the appropriate method for creating/migrating my old account "crasher"? Thanks! ~crasher
 * Special:UserMigration will serve you. It's simple enough, but can get weird.
 * Enter the username "Crasher" and whatever password you want
 * When it splits out a code go over to wiki, and make an edit to your userpage, using the code as the edit summary. Make sure to change at least 1byte/character/thing on the page, othewise the wiki will consider it a null-edit and ignore it.
 * Profit.
 * &mdash; Scythe   13:42, 26 Jan 2011 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately I can't log in to wikia page to make that work. ~crasher
 * Unfortunately I can't log in to wikia page to make that work. ~crasher


 * Then you'll have to contact Wikia support to get a password reset or something. We can't help with that, unfortunately.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 15:11, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * You're not the only one having login problems. Try this link, maybe it works that way.
 * However, you may not be aware that your account was renamed to User:GW-Crasher when GuildWiki moved to Wikia, see here. Try reclaiming your account as GW-Crasher, then ask User:Felix Omni to rename it. --◄mendel► 19:26, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks mendel, I didn't know that. I have however given up, since I can't seem to log in to Wikia with what I know for sure is the password and they don't have my email address to send me a reset. I set up a new account "Crasher1". If someone who can would merge Crasher, GW-Crasher, and Crasher1 and then rename my account to just crasher, that would be awesome. Thanks in advance. crasher 18:36, 27 January 2011 (UTC) ... Well I figured it out. Via monobook I was able to login to Wikia. I never created a GW-Crasher account. Anyway... User:Crasher, User:GW-Crasher and User:Crasher1 now need to be merged. Thanks for all your help guys. Crasher 18:51, 27 January 2011 (UTC)


 * A few months after Wikia acquired GuildWiki, they merged our user database into theirs. Any conflicts where the GuildWiki username already existed on Wikia with a different email address were solved by prefixing 'GW-' to the GuildWiki user.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 19:40, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, this is what I'm gonna do. I'll merge User:Crasher and User:GW-Crasher into Crasher1, deleting the old accounts. Then you register Crasher, and post here. Once you've done that I'll move all the contribs back to Crasher and you'll be good to go. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png|link=User:Felix Omni]] 20:34, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. Thanks! Crasher 18:56, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
 * All your contributions should now be back on Crasher. If there are any discrepancies, let me know. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png|link=User:Felix Omni]] 00:40, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Help me find a stable X-Chat client for Windows 64x
Your reward will be great. 19:11, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Looking at http://xchatdata.net/Using/BuildLineup, is Xchat-WDK not working for you? --◄mendel► 19:16, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I've been using SilvereX for like 2 years. Well done, my good and faithful servant. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png|link=User:Felix Omni]] 19:19, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I use this, but I em... downloaded the torrent version from Kick@$$torrents... The actual mirc version that I had gotten - didn't work. So far, this one is doing alright. Ariyen 19:33, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Intriguing
No doubt Dr Ishmael reads my amended wording now to mean that I intentionally obstructed him for personal reasons, which of course isn't true either, but that can't be helped.

Myself, I was intrigued by this log entry: 22:17, 31 January 2011 Felix Omni (Talk | contribs) deleted New Page ‎ (Author request: mendel appears to be correct) Were you referring to my predictions about spambot reactions to our wiki countermeasures, or something else? --◄mendel► 19:11, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
 * On TEF's talk page, you commented that there appears to be some process whereby creating new articles takes significantly longer to save than editing existing ones. My vast empirical evidence seems to support your claim. What I found intriguing was the idea of Jink for bureaucrat, not Ish managing to be offended by you again. I'm fairly used to that by now. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png|link=User:Felix Omni]] 19:15, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah, alright. (Nice way to word it, LOL.) It was your indentation that misled me, if you'd put it two more levels out, I'd have read it as a reply to me and Jink and not to Dr Ishmael and me. Thanks for clarifiying! --◄mendel► 19:20, 4 February 2011 (UTC)


 * For the record, I was not at all offended there, merely put off by your constant jibes at me. &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 19:40, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

buggin' you
Ishmael told me to bug a bureaucrat about merging account, I would like User:Viruzzz and User:GW-Viruzzz Merged to the name without the GW- if that's possible, I can log in and confirm ownership of both if necessary. consider yourself bugged sir. I don't know if this is the right place to ask, if not I apologize :> GW-Viruzzz 20:16, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
 * You've come to the right place, I think I can safely take your word for confirmation. One moment please. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png|link=User:Felix Omni]] 22:38, 10 March 2011 (UTC)


 * D'oh, Gigathrash already followed up on his request here. &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 22:39, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Oooh, hope I didn't break anything just now. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png|link=User:Felix Omni]] 22:40, 10 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Looks like he was still logged in on the GW- version when Giga did that, and he made 1 more contribution after that. So I think all you did was to merge that 1 contrib back to Viruzzz.  Otherwise you probably wouldn't've seen that user at all.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 22:43, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
