@DroidDev yeah, that sucks.... but no need to linger on this now - things sometimes tend to sort themselves out, somehow :-)

@ShadowWizard ya, we'll see, I'll send you my marriage card :D

Morning

MagicalPhoenixϡ

@DroidDev not me? :( sniff sniff

morning :)

@DroidDev he was having a live revival of the Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy. Arthur had a bulldozer in front of his house. I had some guys from the local water society dig a hole in front of my front gate, making it impossible to exit with the car....

8:57 AM

@MagicalPhoenixϡ we...If I know personal address of you guys, I'll personally come to give you that card, because we live at almost same place

Told me that the warning was right behind the jaguar, next to the one for Arthur

@SPArchaeologist actually, I was waiting for reply to other messages, related to hats

@DroidDev ok, give me time to understand where I am

MagicalPhoenixϡ

@DroidDev :)

wish all gets sorted out soon in the way its best for your life :)

@MagicalPhoenixϡ Thanks! :)

I was trying to see how many edits where required

somehow, I was preceded by other users - now it is know that it takes 5 edits

of old posts

Seems that meta SharePoint does not count for Fear & Loathing

hmm.... I'd guess that per site meta don't count towards any hats, same way they don't have reputation of their own

You may wear the parent site hat on its meta probably, but not earn meta hats

That's my guess too

A: Do all sites have Winterbash?

MSE being exception of course :)

11

This year the breakdown is as follows: Stack Overflow by default has no hats, but users can opt in to wear and see them (either by clicking "I love hats" in the snowflake dropdown, or simply by putting on a hat somewhere). TeX, Math Overflow, and Japanese Stack Overflow have no hats at all, wit...

> All other (non-child meta) Q&A sites have hats, and they're enabled by default

Eh, I just found that there is an error in the new spell-awarder.

@SPArchaeologist Your spell will be delivered soon.

nice, good to see spells being awarded! :D

@ProgramFOX so, you want to tell me that the spell I got was just an error :'(

@FOX9000 hats

@ShadowWizard crape

@DroidDev No, you also would have got it if there wasn't an error.

12:01 PM

@FOX9000 crap

:D

I only had to award it manually in your case because the awarder was broken.

@ProgramFOX oh! That's a relief :D

I broke the bot :(

sorry bot, you are not crap!

@ShadowWizard eh, no, I was just auto-restarting it to fix it

Not enough arguments.

gah

yup, cheers!

eh?

This spell was already awarded.

12:03 PM

No it was not!

LOL

Congratulations, @SPArchaeologist, you have earned a new spell: Pony

There we go!

but, wasn't that the spell that I got?

can a spell be awarded to more than one person?

@DroidDev Yes. Think of spells like they are secret hats. They can be awarded to multiple persons, and if you get one, you don't get explanation.

12:05 PM

hmm...that's a good thing :D

Do you want a first hint for the Pony spell?

@ShadowWizard ^

@ProgramFOX sure thing! :)

Okay, first hint:

The Pony spell can even be awarded to the bot.

(without any code changes to make sure that it'll get awarded to itself)

@ShadowWizard ^ There it is.

thanks! :)

12:23 PM

@ProgramFOX and it will be my duty to make it happen

Do SE sell the site infrastructure/layout to third parties?

A: Why was Stack Exchange engine once for sale but now is not?

@SPArchaeologist nope.

Not much of a story - there wasn't much interest in the "Stack Exchange" platform as a product. There were a few sites that were created and most of them didn't gain any traction - turns out that to have a thriving Q&A site, you need a community behind it (that's the philosophy behind Area51 pro...

ok, so I assume ontotext is simply reusing the layout.

not a scrapper either, since it is their client knowledge base

made a lame attempt at asking Balpa if the bash site has any egg we should search for. I expect he will switch to cat mode "you called? I didn't heard"
