No fucking way.
I won't believe it until I hear in vent. (T/C) 09:46, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Believe it. I'm willing to give a vent concert, no problem. -- ◄mendel► 11:14, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Just wait - now he'll make a flashing one. Jink  19:20, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the idea :D
 * btw, he's Ishy, so are you Jinkie? --> Suicidal Tendencie [[Image:Suicidal_Tendencie_Sig.jpg]] 19:47, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I'm Jink. "Ishy" is short for Dr Ishmael.  Jinkie... isn't short.  Jink  20:35, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I prefer Kink- *ahem* Jinkie to Jink tbh, more catchie with the "ie" bit at the end :-) --> Suicidal Tendencie [[Image:Suicidal_Tendencie_Sig.jpg]] 22:28, 9 March 2009 (UTC) Not trying anything here, the K bit was a real typo I thought I'd include for the lolz
 * Sorry dude. I prefer Jink, will only answer to Jink, and I hope you'll respect that. :)  Jink  02:17, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I've not figured out yet whether you're Japanese or good at dodging. -- ◄mendel► 02:21, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * My secrets are only for me to know (and Ishy, but he's special). :D Jink  03:03, 10 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I see that we've brought the conversation away from the userbox =/ And I'll respect whatever you want Jink, but, by your logic, Ishy can request people call him Ish. Or Ish-Ish, if he should so desire. --> Suicidal Tendencie [[Image:Suicidal_Tendencie_Sig.jpg]] 16:49, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, he could. Your point?  Jink  16:55, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * ...that is all... --> Suicidal Tendencie [[Image:Suicidal_Tendencie_Sig.jpg]] 17:31, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Symbolic Kick (Placeholder) - Autocat with Location InfoBox
Here's the placeholder for the symbolic kick/reminder to setup some autocat with the location infobox. I'll update the title of this section if I really think you need the cymbals. &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 06:41, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Postcard
The first person to send me a postcard or letter (postmark counts) will get their own userbox on my page (see that for my address). There'll be a collective userbox (or better) for those who aren't first. -- ◄mendel► 11:14, 10 March 2009 (UTC)


 * New! The Add a Section link partially blocks any links on the last line (I was trying to click your username, had to click the top ~4px for it to work >.>" ) EDIT: Oddly, my contribs link is working... --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  16:57, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It's broken anyway because for me, it is smack dab in the middle of the banner ad. Sigh. I hate Wikia. -- ◄mendel► 17:56, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Your comment vs. my virgin talk page
Hi! Thank you for going out of your way to comment on my feeble attempt to create a QR. x]

Basically the current Assassin attack chain quick reference is a bit of a disjointed mess and formatted completely differently from every other QR. I wanted to improve and standardize it. But, the more I think about it, the more I realize how difficult it is to create a truly usable QR for Sass chains (for reasons I'll resist detailing). So, I'm simmering on the concept before I try to bug someone into making it for me.

While we're on the general topic... why does GuildWiki structure its sortable QR tables (example) with Cost, Activation, and Recharge all lumped under one "Stats" category? It seems more intuitive to be able to sort by, for example, Energy cost. In fact... GuildWiki's skill lists are kinda sort-unfriendly in general. Is that a deliberate decision?

Actually... the more I think about stuff like this, the more ideas I get, which leads to more questions, which means... I usually should stop right about now. x] Take care! -- AudreyChandler 07:59, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Afraid of brainstorming? I consider that a good thing! -- ◄mendel► 08:38, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Archiving
Greetings, my friend. If I may call you that and consider you as such. I was wondering if you archive merely in accordance with the size of the talkpage in question, or if the coding is taken into consideration when pondering such a notion. You are almost relentlessly helpful and wise, as well as managing to know and understand the policies better than the people who wrote them. If you have the time and would ponder the notion I am pondering, I would be most grateful. Thank you in advance for reading this, John. --> Suicidal Tendencie 18:20, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
