 * lol, your concern is much appreciated, especially since my poll up there indicates that nobody knows who i am, and i am hardly a regular fixture on your talkpage - all of which leads me to wonder what suddenly lead you to read my userpage in the firstplace, considering i can count the contribs i made over the last few days on one hand (i can hardly count them on two hands regardless, though xD) so im not appearing in RC much either, but thanks anyway :P, wow, that took far too long to write, the amount of times i pressed Y instead of T and had to backspace is unbelievable--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green">Contribs</B> ) 13:05, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

GW:SIGN
Apparently, your image is too large &mdash; Powersurge360 Violencia  00:07, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thats ridiculous, the whole reason for the size limit is so it does not disrupt text layout, who cares if its resized to the right size in the signature or wether the image itself is the right size - i say the policy is flawed--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<B><font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green"><B>Contribs</B> ) 19:19, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Fight the power! &mdash; Powersurge360 Violencia  23:04, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I assume that there is some technical reason that makes interally resizing images undesirable, but I sure as heck don't know it. Maybe Dr ishmael or PanSola or someone like that could share their knowledge with us. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 23:07, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The thing I don't understand is that if it's something important enough to have a clause in the policy about it, then why has he been able to get away with it unnoticed for 2 months and some change. &mdash; Powersurge360 Violencia  23:22, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * If you look at the actual image URL http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/gw/images/thumb/4/41/Cobalt6.jpg/50px-Cobalt6.jpg you see that Mediawiki makes the resized version and caches it. From a technical and performance standpoint it's as if Cobalt had resized it himself and uploaded it. --◄mendel► 23:33, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Just point-blank info there, or were you trying to make a point? I can't tell if you're for or against, or what exactly is going on with that statement. &mdash; Powersurge360 Violencia  23:42, 11 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I think he means it doesn't matter, but doesn't really form an opinion on anything. So, ye, PB Info. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  00:35, 12 July 2008 (UTC)


 * What does "PB Info" mean? My opinion is that I can't see a reason for the image itself to be smaller, because Cobalt's code uses the cached smaller image. So if you argue "Cobalt should use a small image", he is already doing that (albeit indirectly), so no need to change. --◄mendel► 08:17, 12 July 2008 (UTC)


 * "PB info" was repeating Powersurge's "Just point-blank info " comment, but I was too lazy to type it out completely. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  12:26, 12 July 2008 (UTC)


 * See, i think that Mendel would know about these things, master of coding that he is and as such if he says it isn't making any difference and no admin or wikia staff people start leaving threatening messages AND if nobody else of coding expertise furnishes a valid reason why resizing my sig through primitive code magic is a problem then i think i'll leave it for now, or, as Powersurge put it, continue to "fight the power" :P I thought it might raise some similar problem along the lines of the issues with using non-sub stringed templates for things such as Template:Unsigned - but apparently not, and i've been using this for many months now without objections, so - yeah.--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<B><font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green"><B>Contribs</B> ) 16:18, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Where are you?
Are you trying to draw attention to your underused talkpage in an attempt to generate even more archives? no? On an unrelated note, i just noticed through accident that if you click and drag the buttons over the edit box it puts the image URL into the edit, like so: http://images.wikia.com/common/releases_200807.2/skins/common/images/button_sig.png and displays the image as an image without wiki coding tags - wunderbar-- - (<B><font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green"><B>Contribs</B> ) 19:00, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Wiki Buddha's
While randomly looking for userboxes to steal, i came across this hilarious quote from entropy at the top of RH's userpage "Sometimes to do what you feel is right requires sacrifices." - if i could be bothered, I'd love to find the original context, but i can't. However, it did give me a wonderful idea for another hugely productive use of my talkpage - especially since I have a quotes section in my userspace myself. I think it would be great if people would use this section to post ridiculously pretentious profound type statements which i can then immortalise on my quotes page :) The kind of thing some games like to stick on their loading screens to make them seem more intellectual (call of duty and rome total war (in which, amusingly, you could edit the quotes in a notepad file to produce such timeless wisdoms as "Egyptions r gay lulx - Latin Proverb") spring to mind) or that people take out of context from religious books to make it look like jesus supports their plan to reduce health benefits or something. A quick look at wikiquote reveals some incredibly profound statements such as: "One beetle recognises another" - Irish Proverb...wonderful "The mouse is silent while laboring, but when the baby is conceived, she cries." - Ethiopian Proverb....erm...righto.

 * Wikia is slow the slave needs to catch up - so it shuts down whilst it syncs - probably back very soon <font color="Orange">Random <font color="Black">Time  12:28, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm ok, it seems when i make edits they take a good few minutes after succesfully saving the page to actually appear, either on the page or the history - it's like the guild chat delay that sometimes happens in GW - im talking to the future :/--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<B><font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green"><B>Contribs</B> ) 12:31, 31 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Ever noticed the insane lagg? Well, when Wikia is lagging, it means the Slave server is behind. And then you got a fat chance the DB is locked over and ver again. When the Slave server is behind, edits are indeed registered much slower. Sometimes up to 5 minutes. And then it thinks "OMG WTF I can't keep up stop iiiiittt!! :O :O :O" and it locks the database. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  12:41, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * So that must be why it was lagging a lot earlier. --Macros 12:54, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * And lagging right now... --Macros 12:58, 31 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Fun times with Wikia. Too bad they're no fun at all :< --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  13:00, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Well, it's probably a combination deal: the Monaco sidebar asks for the RC and maybe Watchlist, placing more load on the server, but the ads (and the lag) drive away users, so it probably evens out in the end. --◄mendel► 22:45, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * If by "evens out" you mean "everyone loses," then yes. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 22:48, 31 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Wasn't that Wikia's initial aim in the first place? At least for GuildWiki...?  Personally, I think Wikia's a conspiracy headed by EA and Blizzard to defame ANet and NCSoft because they make games that are actually worth a damn.  That and NC has Richard Garriott, which probably pisses off EA quite a bit. [[Image:RHSig.jpg]] talk 04:34, 1 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Doesn't wowwiki have the ads, too? --◄mendel► 07:32, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * That's obviously a ploy to throw off suspicion. --Macros 09:23, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Someone needs to go over there and refresh the Main Page until it shows a Guild Wars ad. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 09:31, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
