RWW

How did you alter the config files on RWW? I'm merely curious. Cubic bastard Hoover! 03:59, 3 March 2009 (EST)

Er, are you asking how I changed LocalSettings.php? Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 04:12, 3 March 2009 (EST)

Yes, and how you planned to deactivate IP editing. Cubic bastard Hoover! 04:16, 3 March 2009 (EST)

Well, I would've logged into RationalWikiWiki's server file... thingy (whatever it's called) via an SSH/FTP program, then navigate to LocalSettings.php, then change go to the line reading $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = true; and change the "true" to read "false" instead. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 04:30, 3 March 2009 (EST)

That's the basic description. The step-by-step version won't do you much good if you don't have the password for root access. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 04:30, 3 March 2009 (EST)

Damn, I knew there was a hitch. Cubic bastard Hoover! 04:34, 3 March 2009 (EST)

So, hang on, you're still webmaster? Cubic bastard Hoover! 11:36, 3 March 2009 (EST)

I guess so. Plus, I still own the domain name. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 01:21, 4 March 2009 (EST)

If you'd like RWW to have a favicon: download this and put it in the directory where index.php is. As for the IP spam problem, installing the ConfirmEdit extension would be a better solution than locking out IPs completely. --  Nx/talk   07:13, 3 March 2009 (EST)

This would probably be a good time to inform you that I don't know how to install anything, or put anything in the "directory where index.php is". I always had Trent do stuff like that (even though Mr. Reliable he ain't). Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 11:52, 3 March 2009 (EST)

You could email Nx your password etc. _and marmite 11:56, 3 March 2009 (EST)

I've been considering that. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 12:01, 3 March 2009 (EST)

If you're doing that, could I get it too? Cubic bastard Hoover! 12:50, 3 March 2009 (EST)

Sorry, but no. Nx should be enough. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 01:21, 4 March 2009 (EST)

*Hmph* Cubic bastard Hoover! 11:31, 4 March 2009 (EST)

Are you here RA? --  Nx/talk   01:15, 4 March 2009 (EST)

Yup. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 01:18, 4 March 2009 (EST)

Ok. You've got mail. --  Nx/talk   01:19, 4 March 2009 (EST)

Relax...

You do know this is only the interweb, right? MarcusCicero 11:44, 3 March 2009 (EST)

Are you talking about RWW? Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 11:52, 3 March 2009 (EST)

Well, generally, both. You take it too seriously. Way too seriously. Exposing hypocrisy is all fine and good, but personal haunts and 'enemies' over the internet. (You might say that I'm one to point the finger, but the difference is I merely am irritated by certain users rather than having any real enmity...) 134.226.1.229 13:09, 3 March 2009 (EST)

I don't really see how that applies to RWW or RW at the moment. I'm not particularly hysterical at the moment. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 21:36, 9 March 2009 (EDT)

You are a strange mix of hysterical and passive aggressive. A bit like a tourretes patient jumping between moderation and swearing. MarcusCicero 07:39, 19 March 2009 (EDT)

I already have a psychiatrist, you know. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 14:16, 19 March 2009 (EDT)

I'd email you, but the function does not work, so eat it here.

You are a fucking asshole. A childish, grudge-holding asshole. And your example did not even "prove" your case - it was a comment on my talk page among many, before I even checked in that day, and of course, as you might recall (but probably not on your grudge list file) I participated in the whole guidelines upgrade. I repeat. You are a complete and utter fuckwad. In so many ways it's not funny. So go fuck yourself, jackass. I almost quit this wiki yesterday because you are such a giant flaming asshole, but luckily other people make it worthwhile.

So go fuck yourself. I repeat, in case you missed my point: you are an asshole. A childish, grudge-holding asshole. Get the fuck over yourself and your wikiwarring.

PG PS, you are a small-minded editor who is obsessed with your edit count and endlessly embarks on wiki-wide alterations without talking to other people about them. You also exhibit an interesting trait in that you continuously raise old issues with other editors that surely have been laid to rest by now. You accuse me of endless crimes and faults, and yet do not see the beam in your own eye. I think you might - should - take a week or so off and re-evaluate the anger and hate you send in my direction at the slightest provocation. I almost played your silly game of "quitting" and pmailing a few people to say "yeah, it was RA that made me go away" - but that is such silly drama. Get a life that involves more than your RW edit count and your imaginary battles with me.

PPS, to everyone else (who hasn't already) please ignore this. ħuman 01:18, 11 March 2009 (EDT)

I am quite well aware of my flaws, thank you. (The irony is that you never acknowledge your own.) And I do have a life outside of RationalWiki — it's called my family and my work. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 01:27, 11 March 2009 (EDT)

Shall I point out the irony of a 49-year-old man, who lives by himself and has made almost 60 edits a day over a regular eight-hour period a day for nearly two years, telling me to get a life? Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 01:51, 11 March 2009 (EDT)

Pardon my intrusion, but was it necessary to use revision-hiding against Human's edit comment? I thought that was only supposed to be used if someone posted personal information, or something like that. ListenerX^TalkerX 01:34, 11 March 2009 (EDT)

I felt that his throwing in "Fuckwad" out of nowhere was inappropriate, so I rather impulsively "hid" it (sysops can still see it). I do admit that it was a rather causal usage of it, and that I perhaps should undo it. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 01:38, 11 March 2009 (EDT)

Just popping in to stir things a little, but Human certainly has a point with the 'edits' jab. To many, having edits in the 000's seems to make them some sort of demi god in their own minds. They think this makes them a 'daddy' on the internet. Very sad indeed. MarcusCicero 07:30, 19 March 2009 (EDT)

Crusade against redlinks

		Red Link Removal Barnstar
		For your valiant efforts in removing the hideous red blemish from our wiki, I hereby award you this barnstar --  Nx/talk  04:21, 12 March 2009 (EDT)

Yay! My first barnstar! *Hugs Nx* Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 04:43, 12 March 2009 (EDT)

RevisionDelete

Please stop using it with >7. It is quite unnecessary, and smacks of censorship. Cubic bastard Hoover! 14:57, 14 March 2009 (EDT)

What specific instances are you referring to? It's a bit to scold me for it anyways, my last instance of using it being, as of your post, over three days ago. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 05:05, 16 March 2009 (EDT)

Are you using RD? Please don't. ħuman 23:04, 21 March 2009 (EDT)

Ring, ring...

Ahem. Kallium^talk 22:34, 21 March 2009 (EDT)

'This User is no Longer Available'

You've been gone a week. I give it another week at least until you come back either in this form or a lá Susan in a transparant sock. Adios! MarcusCicero 07:52, 8 April 2009 (EDT)

Please come back. --<choose>

Why he's gone

It's Passover. Most likely, he's with family and doesn't have internet access.

He says he's taking a break and will be back in a few weeks. E-mail rocx. --<choose>

He'll be back

He's dragging it out for another month. Its killing him really. He'll be back with his tail between his legs soon enough. He'll probably pull a Susan though and come back with a transparant sock. MarcusCicero 11:59, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Well

Happy b'day then. ĴαʊΆʃÇä₰ 01:52, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Coming back? The Emperor _{Kneel before Zod!} 01:54, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Many happy returns, and hope you are well! Maybe we should set up a birthday reminder automated thingie that tells all who subscribe to the "birthday" intercom group when an impending celebration is imminent? Wow, did that sound like Ken merged with Ed or what? ^{— Unsigned, by: human / talk / contribs}

Thank you all. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 02:45, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Your latest soul-baring - from Human

"my ambition is not welcome here." Maybe not, maybe who cares (you, perhaps, if it makes you unhappy with yourself), but you are welcome here. That's all for now while I go back to read more. ħuman 06:38, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

"I want to be part of the backbone" You were, and are. ħuman 06:39, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for everything you did for this site. ħuman 06:40, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

"...wrote my own suggestion and promptly acted upon it. Everyone accepted it, and as far as I know the page is still that way. And I was so happy. That was when I realized that I loved doing this administrative stuff, that I could do that sort of thing it all day and be truly happy." That's not "adminning", it's participating. But that you helped and were happy with the result is very nice. I have had such moments. And many others where I yielded my stubborn opinions to the mob/smarter people. ħuman 06:43, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Don't anybody interrupt me and EC me while I read and think about and respond to the section addressed to me (and DP). ħuman 06:47, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

"(Hm. Looks like I failed to find that middle path.)" Yeah, maybe. That you don't want to be me when your fifty is OK - hell, do better! Not a bad goal.

"this site is your personal playground" - I welcome input from other users if they think I stifle commentary, debate, discussion, editing, etc. At worst I have two pet articles I mostly wrote - the United States one, and what PC moved to fun:Jesus. Hell, if I adore them so much, I "own" my original versions. Although, the wiki-edited ones are better, I think.

RA, I'm not sure how to respond - and I know I don't actually have to, I'm just commenting on your thoughts of many weeks in just a few minutes. We clashed, we also compromised. You will note that the section known as references on most wikis is now here called "footnotes". You did not "win" on that - you were "right". I hope you see the difference.

I guess, Jacob, in the end (is this the end?), I appreciate your coming back (you didn't really "leave", of course) and telling us what you think. That said...

"Trent promotes you across the internet as a site for debunking pseudoscience and a gathering place for skeptics, but beware the temptation to remain what you started out as: a dumping ground for articles that would never be accepted anywhere else."

RW1 wasn't even a site for "articles" - it was a hangout for wikisavvy people sick of CP. RW2 has a "mission", theoretically. If I was to leave, for weeks, or months, or years, I would probably be a bit surprised with what I found upon returning - but I think - hope? - I would recognize what Trent started.

I think you might have gotten, as you said, a little too personally involved - trying to be a big fish in a small pond. I've been there in several ways before. I am on a mailing list about some dumb cars, and apparently made the most posts in one year. Go figure. That was in I think 2005 or so. All I was doing was helping people fix their cars. This place is different. Very different, of course.

Perhaps you also got too involved in your quest to "matter" by competing with me, which sucked for both of us, really, since you are a decent guy and made endless useful contributions here. Were you affronted that I never made you a giant multi-layered barnstar, as I did for Trent? Did you ever notice that I have none? Best I've got is my Danish Writing Group medal on CP, for crying out loud.

OK, enough random whining, Jacob, I already have been missing you, too. You brought a lot to this site. Not everything you thought you were, but mostly all good. I wish you well, and obviously, fell free to drop in any time and say "hello". I (we?) would be very curious as to how your life is working out.

Signed,

Your friend, (I wept as I finished writing this)

Huw Powell 07:06, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Since Human appropriated the previous section

Sorry to see you go, but I think you're wrong, this place is interested in what you have to offer, it just can't express its thanks properly. My only advice is: if it's fun, do it for the fun, not the recognition. --  Nx/talk  09:51, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Such cheek

I'm only five years older than ConservapediaUndergroundResistor. :P
Goodbye, anyway. I hope I'll be able to see you on other wikis? Pink_{(I usually put text here, but...)} 10:00, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
