Posted by Ailure A good example is keeping backups. Would you want to keep old versions of your files in the same spot? Personally, I move them somewhere (/old, /backups, whatever)... ____________________ I dealt with it. |

Posted by blackhole89I'm busy processing the rest of the post, but I needed to get this bullshit taken care of asap. *105420» @laptuna> ~power 66 0 Ailure's first "I support bh89's idea" post: 11:04:54 I had actually demodded him before (silently sure, but because "there's no point to having him as a local mod, he does nothing), he was re-LMed when I woke up. ____________________ I dealt with it. |

Posted by blackhole89I thought the posts_text seperation was silly myself and asked about it. I rember reading something about keeping metadata an actual content seperate, but regardless.

It would not be a hack... to me. Your "additions" are, to me, hacks. To you, they are simply new features. Your idea of a hack and my idea are conflicting, and to call one a hack versus the other is nothing. I find your ideas to not be well thought out and inherantly flawed. Case in point, the online user flags -- I've already discussed that matter with you and haven't gotten the motivation to fix another problem with your code. And I appreciate it, by the way -- Jesper and friends coded for the least effort solution, piling hack after hack onto a broken codebase. Why create a new feature when you can just add some silly hooks to it and call it brand new? Many of their features were broken or badly flawed, as shown many times before. I already diffused part of this drama bomb, here's the rest of it. Quite simply, I would not have you as coder of the board if you weren't hosting it. I have no problems with your existance and quite often find you useful and informative, but this is not one of those times. I know I am unfair when it comes to administration power, but it is to be somewhat expected; I try not to ban too often lately as I have noticed these flaws, but it is very difficult to strike the correct balance between too harsh and too leniant, and erring on either side is very bad. I am very incontent with the way you have been coding this forum lately. Acmlm has, too (as well as our deveopment in general), but he has specifically stated that your edit post feature is exactly one of the reasons he stopped. Disclaimer: I know there are other reasons, such as general non-him development and RO addictions, but this is a very specific example he gave me a while ago. ____________________ I dealt with it. |

Posted by blackhole89 Different things call for different implementations. My way still has several advantages (clearing out the edit database is one query, easy to back up without needing a complex export query) as well as shorter, easier-to-understand queries for the database that remove complication in the event something else there is changed. I am not calling this a "brand new feature" -- this feature itself is a "silly hack" (record post edits, nothing else) and should have no effect on the rest of the board and should be easily removed and togglable. My solution takes care of that, by making the edit data easily removed or disabled. At least keep a backup that I can revert back to, so that I can do the right thing -- tweak the code you added so it works better and under these principles -- rather than recode everything myself. Your design works but is flawed ... However, this is the exact reason I never fixed it. Dealing with drama like this is annoying, frustrating, and is making me just want to give up administartion of this forum in its entirety. ____________________ I dealt with it. |

Posted by Sgraff87You'd be suprised... they still use LZH (or whatever it was), a horribly obsolete and outdated compression algorthm*, just because it was made in Japan -- you rarely see RAR, 7z, or even ZIP come out of there. Japanese are, in general, nationalistic to the point of refusing to use better things if they're not from Japan, it would seem. ____________________ I dealt with it. |

(Wii post)
The odd amnesia tends to happen with any sort of accident like this... Years ago, I was hit by a car, and although I suffered no injuries (and my bike was fine too...), I still couldn't remember anything

Posted by HyperHackerEh, the only harm out of it was a slight open sore on my elbow -- nothing else.Posted by XkeeperThe brain has this nice feature where it automatically suppresses really bad memories. I was really confused when I "came to", though, a police officer was there asking my name and birthdate (checking for amnesia?), and I was in total disbelief of anything happening... oddly enough, the friend I had with me was more interested in repairing the bike (handlebars bent  ) than actually checking me.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'd rather just get a laptop and a wireless net card from Verison (I believe they have cards that will allow connection to the cell phone network, for internet access wherever) and Skype.
No stupid contracts, an actual useful machine, and a computer that isn't locked down into what Daddy Jobs says is okay to run. iPhone: $500 (?) + $60 * 2 year contract = $1,940 My one-year-old laptop: $900 SkypeOut and SkypeIn for a year: $60 +$30 Sorry, but, uh, the laptop wins. $1,000 is far too much for a "pocket size" version. ____________________ I dealt with it. |

I don't know why he was banned or who did it yet, I just woke up from a rather disturbing 7-hour sleep.
I'm looking into it right now... if I can't find a valid reason for why, I'm unbanning him. ____________________ I dealt with it. |

I am reopening this thread.
I believe both of your posts were out of line (Alastor's moreso, Hyperhacker trolling somewhat). As far as I'm concerned, Hyperhacker has a point anyway. The various posts by Alastor odn't really seem like "horribly injured" until his last post (I even thought he was mostly okay after being cleaned up), so I too have to agree with Hyperhacker on that position. Hell, being hospitalized for "a few hours" isn't really much anyway. Hyperhacker bringing up his own accident is perfectly valid, as at least there we know he ended up breaking two arms and being relatively helpless for quite some time. Alastor, on the other hand, seems rather banged up but still almost perfectly fine (assuming those bruises heal, which afaict there's no reason not to) My review:
In this essence, I find both of you to be in the wrong here. Yes, Hyperhacker does need to learn when sometimes it's a bad idea to reply, but from what I can tell, Alastor was fueling it with his attention whoring, and Alastor's outright flammitory reply is out of hand and uncalled for. In short, my end verdict is that you both need to watch your mouths, and that you both need to take a few chill pills. I see no reason to ban anybody here yet, but consider this your warning. I'm somewhat disappointed with whoever it was's knee-jerk reaction, but considering I was uncontrollably asleep at the time there was nothing I could and no way to discuss this at the time (and admittely I'm guilty of this myself sometimes)... this is an issue of our staff that we need to clean up very badly before we go adding more moderators. With that, I'm now reclosing the thread. If someone asks and has a valid post to contribute (in short: drop the previous subject entirely), PM me and I will reopen it in a few hours. ____________________ I dealt with it. |
