Deletion

I can't understand how Schwoo's linked incest fic was allowed as long as it had a huge warning but ours was deleted even though it had an enormous warning. TWO warnings actually. If you deleted our link, then put your deletion where your mouth is. Delete the link to Schwoo's fic.-MikeControl

Well Shwoo's a girl SKUB 17:14, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Are you seriously implying the two stories are equivalent in content - Super Sam 10:13, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

this conversation is stupid and everyone participating is stupid is participating

Redirect MFT3K

It's actually highly useful, as the main thing has a really cumbersome and long name that I would prefer not having to type out every time. This method has been proven at the WUW, the redirect comes in handy. — ChwokaTalk

It pointed to a nonexistent page, therefore it was unnecessary. — It's dot com 17:10, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I see. you ac tually deleted it. Tht's a lot worse. — ChwokaTalk

Much worse. This... Even though you're like, the current owner of the HRFWiki now, or something, you probably should have said something first. Oh, and what exactly is this "liberal deletion policy"? I'd like to know, since there's apparently no page mentioning it. Also, I don't quite understand why it's not allowed. Please try to be a bit less vague than "not within the scope of the wiki". ...I apologize if this rant full of suppressed anger, and perhaps underestimation of the worth of your judgement, has offended you. Bellstrom 00:19, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm not offended, except perhaps by your inability to read the second item on the main page talk. — It's dot com 02:05, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Oh, sorry. I must've forgotten about that. Bellstrom 02:54, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Change username

But there was a mix-up with my naming here. I was TheCheese pre-purge, and that account apparently only exists in contributions and whatnot. If I could get the account Cheatachu72 changed to TheCheese it would be super awesome. Also, I refrained from making an account because I figured that had a small possibility of messing things up somehow. 68.101.89.104 00:27, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Please use HRFWiki:Changing username. Note that you must be logged in to request the change. — It's dot com 02:02, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Losing sleep

[22:14] <Dot_com> if you boycott the wiki, you're not affecting anyone but yourself
[22:14] <Chwoka> Why not you?
[22:14] <Chwoka> Say 80% of users join the boycott
[22:14] <Dot_com> you seem to forget that I locked the wiki for a year and a half and didn't lose any sleep over it

As long as this has been quoted elsewhere, I feel I should address it. You should not take my last statement above at face value. I was addressing one user who was threatening a boycott, and I was exaggerating to make a point. I do indeed care how this wiki turns out, otherwise I would have just unlocked it immediately after creating it and turned it loose, and the fact that we're trying to run things differently, despite the initial awkwardness in getting off the ground, is because we truly want this wiki to be better than the one it replaced. Moreover, I have in fact lost sleep during this process, both figuratively and literally. — It's dot com 17:29, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Oh my, you do read the forum. I'm extremely sorry for putting those logs out of context. I appreciate all of your hard work to the community to the fullest, and when I saw the post I was quoting, I felt I had to make a stand. I was trying to tell him that even though you aren't devoted 24/7 to the wiki, you still own and have a right to manage it and users shouldn't complain whenever you do anything in good faith. After all, you're a grown man working on a wiki that attracts to mostly preteens and teens. There are bound to be some disputes, but it shouldn't go this far. I agree with all of your actions and will never do such a thing again. 13:36, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

hahahaha jcm you suck up so much -20eric06 23:56, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Text Adventures

Hey, are new text adventures allowed? And if so, in what category do they belong? movie magic man 22:13, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

They are allowed, and they are considered to be Fan Fiction. Homsar44withpie 22:17, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

EEGH Back

As you can hopefully see in [this image], whenever I try to add a colored text box to one of my Fanstuff pages, the </div> tag fails to work, and places the rest of the page inside of the box as well. Can you give me advice on how to fix it? BBG 22:45, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Here's what I fixed. The problem you were having is that there was a missing </span> tag. While I was at it, I took out the <font> tags (replacing them with the preferred CSS) and consolidated a few things. — It's dot com 04:16, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Thank you a lot for merging the pages. BBG 03:39, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

No probalo. — It's dot com 04:16, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Image replacement error

I tried to upload a new version of an image and got this message:

Could not rename file "public/1/11/comic2.jpg" to "public/archive/1/11/20100411175326!comic2.jpg".

If it's at all important, the file I was trying to replace was File:comic2.jpg movie magic man 18:00, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Vandal Guy Ban Thing

Can you ban Coffee man? He is very annoying. SamuelGuy10 00:11, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

He shouldn't be banned, he just should get warned. You can't get banned for being annoying, or I already would of been. Raiku 00:14, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

...You're not as bad as him, honestly. Bellstrom 00:47, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Still, He uploaded three 95 kilobyte screenshots of mainpages, has waster tons of bandwidth by linking to pages we could visit at any time, and has made rule breaking 'fanstuff'. Zo977^Spring!

you guys are mean. from the looks of things you didn't even talk to him and tell him what he's doing wrong, it's like you just expect him to know somehow. I suggest you should either do that first or just ignore him. meanwhile I guess I don't have anything to say that is directed at it's dot com SHADOW SCYTHE 02:33, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Hush, children, or I'll ban all of you. Do not pester me with claims of someone's being "annoying". You should try the first people on this list, or better yet learn some diplomacy and take care of it yourselves. — It's dot com 04:10, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

DEAR IT'S DOT COM

hey i can't delete things and that's like, the whole of my sysop abuse

i keep getting "can't create directory blahblahblah" errors if that helps

also i'm coming to you since you know this stuff and stuff bluebry 23:50, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

This is one of the worst bug reports I've ever gotten. I know you can do better than this. Please try again. — It's dot com 16:11, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

when i try to delete images (like File:comic2.jpg) i get "Error deleting file: Could not create directory "deleted/3/h/x"." bluebry 21:54, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to intrude, but I think this might have something to do with "can't upload new files under the same name" bug. Bellstrom 23:06, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Yes, when will you fix that bug? 01:13, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

it's dot com has better things to do, like restoring ekul's old comic SHADOW SCYTHE 02:04, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

But he's not doing that either. :/ Bellstrom 02:12, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
