Nah, just us saying that we don't agree with his heavy-handed ways at times. But we still use the hell out of the site.
and bear in mind, meta gets about 0.6% of the traffic of SO, so the ones of us that come to meta actually really care about the network. but we obviously don't represent a majority stake
> Stackoverflow.com is ranked #121 in the world according to the three-month Alexa traffic rankings.

Approximately 63% of visits to the site consist of only one pageview (i.e., are bounces). Visitors to the site view 2.7 unique pages each day on average.
Someone should add something to SEChatModifications that detects when someone in chat has requested keyboard navigation and spams the link from everyone with the script installed
That reminds me, there's probably a lot of outstanding issues to take care of on the main site keyboard navigation. I think that Rebecca found a general purpose plugin she liked well enough not to be too concerned about it, but I'll spend some time on it in the near future for the sake of completeness.
To use a SOCKS 5 proxy server you need to start chrome with the --proxy- server="socks5://<host>:<port>" syntax, or specify "SOCKS5 <host>:<port>" in a PAC file.
@Mvy I think if you type H it brings up a help window? It's not completely done though I don't think, so that's why there isn't formal documentation for it.
I have a window dedicated to chat on my right-hand screen, with a tab for each room. But as @MichaelMrozek mentioned, I think I'm in the minority on that one.
Hmm, what about a twitter-like UI where all the messages from all rooms you're in are just dumped into one big list with highlighting to differentiate?
Well if you think about why rooms exist, they're basically mapped to reality and intended for contextualising conversation
But if you're in a bunch of rooms and they're not all superactive, why further limit activity by splitting people into only looking at one (dead) room at a time?
Show me everything at once and as long as it's manageable I'll figure it out
It's not like I get confused by twitter; the UI shows me everything AND lets me focus on a specific conversation
I know somebody who used a chat client that showed all messages from all people in one window, and he had to start each message with target_nick: so it knew who he was talking to. That would drive me nuts
@MichaelMrozek Well, World of Warcraft works like that too.. you're constantly in multiple "rooms" (General, Trade, Raid, Guild, Party, etc... as well as rooms you make yourself) and you just type /x to direct your message somewhere
It's not that bad honestly
And it remembers the last place you sent a message to
@TimStone 2000 messages per day isn't that much. 2000/24/60 = 1.4/minute
Now if it were 1.4/second that'd be a different story :)
I have three browser tabs pinned in Chrome, one for chat.SO, one for chat.MSO, and one for chat.SE. I then use each tab's room's list to keep track of all the rooms I'm in.
If you get two answers that are both likely to see some support, and like one better than the other, down-vote the one you don't like right off the bat - it'll get a sympathy vote quick, at which point you reverse your voting and watch it float to the top.
I want to ask questions about the different flavors of Windows OS but am not sure which site is best. Super User, Server Fault, Stack Overflow, other?
