Must you?

Must you take over recentchanges with all your moving nonsense? (I didn't know you had so much in your userspace). Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 00:00, 4 January 2009 (EST)

By the way: Your new username is, I'm guessing... a simplified version of $\pi$? Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 00:00, 4 January 2009 (EST)

It is pi in aerial script rather than the times roman you are use to seeing. - User $\pi$ 00:01, 4 January 2009 (EST)

Dastardly font elitist! No textbook I have seen ever used a pi that looks like yours! : P Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 00:14, 4 January 2009 (EST)

Also to compound the problem Wiki software capitalizes first letters automatically so it is a capital aerial font pi. - User$=$ $\pi$ 00:16, 4 January 2009 (EST)

Yah, "pi" is a bitch to render well on a wiki. Look at our pi article just to see how we struggle against the Jimbo-led hegemony! Speaking of which, why is that article in "fun" and not the mainspace??? ħuman 00:23, 4 January 2009 (EST)

It's probably there because, in its current state, it has too much snark and not nearly enough science to qualify as a normal article. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 00:29, 4 January 2009 (EST)

Too much snark? Not enough ScIeNcE? It is the definitive article on pi on the innertubez!!! ħuman 01:34, 4 January 2009 (EST)

I'm so proud of my template

That shameless link whoring you just did? I believe I one-upped you. Actually, I three-upped you—because the header mentions and uses two of my templates. : P Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 17:35, 4 January 2009 (EST)

Your Massive Signature....

Since Human brought this up with CUR, a precedent has been set. I like you--really, I do. But your signatures really get on my nerves. They're huge, and break up the flow when reading comment threads. What are you trying to compensate for there, anyways? Think about just signing your name. We all know who you are. Think of my poor eyes. Most of all, think of the children. TheoryOfPractice 09:50, 5 January 2009 (EST)_{perhaps I'm just jealous because my own signature is pretty lame and I don't know how to fix it...yeah, this is just a cry for help...}

Just to chime in, what stopped it (Pi's sig) from pissing me off were a few things. One, not all versions are huge, so the space taken isn't as bad - or repetitive. Two, they are kinda cool to a math geek. Three, they are in black text so they don't jump out. Four, Pi guy has been a tremendous contributor to the site on many levels. I realize reason 4 is a bit subjective as in, where we draw the line, but still. How about if he drops the odds on the "larger" apparitions in his choose/option thingie? Oh, and TOP, we have some pretty decent, if perhaps slightly incomplete, instructions of how to set up cool silly signatures in the help files. ħuman 19:12, 5 January 2009 (EST)

I just learned to ignore it after a while (says the one with the once hideous signature) Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 19:15, 5 January 2009 (EST)

I have been thinking of dropping the integral ones as they are larger than the sum ones. Would that help? - User$=$ $\pi$ 19:38, 5 January 2009 (EST)

I wouldn't know an integral from a hole in the wall, but whatever works for you. It's not really that big a deal...TheoryOfPractice 19:44, 5 January 2009 (EST)

Yeah, at least Pi's signature isn't three times the size of his average posting. One of the sum sigs is longer btw. -- Nx ^talk 19:46, 5 January 2009 (EST)

WikiSavvy

Is it possible to access the page footer in any way, or do you have to be Tmtoulouse to do that (I was thinking that it'd be nice to have the "+" there as well as at the top. Frohlich 06:15, 6 January 2009 (EST)

I suspect that it would be in the common skin file, just search MediaWiki namespace in all pages. Before you do anything to the namespace MediaWiki ask first on the talkpage and probably send a intercom message (says the person who changed lock to capture without asking, although no one seems to have commented). - User $\scriptstyle h/2\hbar$ 20:29, 7 January 2009 (EST)

It's a good idea, although there isn't a "bunch of tabs" format down there to put it in, so it might be tricky. "Add a new section" in text, linked to it, but always floating below the bottom section... that sounds complicated to do. I'd recommend asking Trent to see if he can do it, or Linus (inactive), etc. Or someone at mediawiki? ħuman 23:36, 7 January 2009 (EST)

Ask if I must

Hey, I just realized that you blocked me for a second or so on 15 December, saying that there was actually a reason. I'm curious as to the reason, although you may well have forgotten with it being almost a month past. Either way, happy belated feast of Sol Invictus. Corry^{Well, sounds like Hermano is about to get his ass kicked.} 01:09, 8 January 2009 (EST)

I renamed about the most disgusting named of Fall down's socks and wanted to push it out of the recent change list, so I blocked most of the first 50 sysops. I then decided to do them all. See. - User $\scriptstyle h/2\hbar$ 01:13, 8 January 2009 (EST)

Nice. Corry^{Well, sounds like Hermano is about to get his ass kicked.} 01:17, 8 January 2009 (EST)

Get the Fuck Outta Town, Man

He’s back, he knows where you live, he’s got a gun, and he hasn’t forgotten about the skiing accident. I know you like it here, but it’s time to get the hell outta Dodge, dude. The electrocutioner 04:37, 8 January 2009 (EST)

You have to be the most bored teenager we have had here since CUR. - User $\scriptstyle h/2\hbar$ 04:38, 8 January 2009 (EST)
