@V2Blast possible cross network spammer, see deleted post(s) on SO. Thanks!

@SmokeDetector umm well, no. this is official word that means "who are".

Same as "I'll" that does NOT mean someone who is ill or sick.

sigh

pity we can't have weight for how false a report is. :D

(and after e.g. 100 falseness points, the bad reason is auto removed.)

(keeping the wishful thinking)

@ShadowTheGPTWizard gone

...Random picture that most won't get but someone will know...

one shall not simply change avatar, and avatars shall not simply be unrecognized

@SPArcheon That's generally only really a problem if someone changes both at once

@JNat thanks! :)

@JourneymanGeek both what?

@ShadowTheGPTWizard name and avatar, I would assume?

Yup

@SPArcheon I made a note of what the pic is in my profile, so I wasn't quite trying to go unrecognized ;P

Or at the very least, stuck to a variation of a theme

@JNat yeah, nice new avatar! But @SPA didn't mention name change only avatar.

also, one click away to find it anyway. ;)

@ShadowTheGPTWizard I know. from context, though, I assumed that's what @JourneymanGeek meant ;P

(or two, right click then clicking "Search Image with Google". ;))

@JNat probably. :D

I always change both, but keep the Shadow.

so you never fully change it, then

Some used to change both to something totally different. glares at @MetaAndrewT. :P

there's always something recognizable about it

@ShadowTheGPTWizard I've been tempted to do so a few times, but... being staff makes that maybe not a fantastic idea xD

@JNat yours?

@ShadowTheGPTWizard no, yours, if you always keep Shadow

@JNat you can create brand new non-staff account and see if anyone would recognize you. :D

@ShadowTheGPTWizard for mine, unless you consider pink to be a common theme between this and the previous avatar, there's really no connection

I suspect some already do it.

@ShadowTheGPTWizard I have several, yes ;P

@JNat :)

@JNat huh! going on sock hunt

@ShadowTheGPTWizard there is absolutely no cross-activity between any of them, I can guarantee you ;P

@JNat oh, yup. Still better than having exactly same name always. :D

@JNat I believe you. I have one "main" sock I use for testing sometimes, or here when bored, and created two more over the years, one for additional testing as the main sock got already too much rep on MSE, and one to ask something I rather not ask with my known account.

Oh.... and another one I lost the password for, forgot why I even created it in the first place. lol

Well, didn't use any sock for long time.

But I am now! Hi everyone. :D

!!/coffee sock

@ShadowTheGPTWizard brews a cup of mocha for @sock

Fair.

@Shadow-of-the-Shadow's-Shadow Hello, Metal Shadow! Guess you weren't cancelled after all.

:)

Sock is away

Too bad Metal Sonic doesn't exist in this universe...at least not yet

@ShadowTheGPTWizard Unrelated...wondering if you saw my comment here.

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog yeah, note isn't so important, so worst case I'll just add it again if/when it's updated again.

@JNat I'll will eagerly wait for Fluttershy to be the next one then.

Pinkie is also an option.

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog at least you have this one.

but no Sally Acorn

no Elise III either.

@SPArcheon I don't know who any of those two are, though

gasp

Even I know!

Well, only because of @SPA, but still. ;)

@JNat I think that @ShadowTheGPTWizard can confirm you just said something very dangerous. I could want to explain, and the explanation would be VERY VERY LONG :P

And I'm out of those good mini waffles my co-worker brought. cries

@SPArcheon just bookmark your past explanation(s). ;-)

I did for @M.A.R yesterday. Kind of. :D

If it's important or interesting, bookmark it!

Should be new chat rule ^

hides in a corner

chat doesn't have bookmarks

conversations

words words

oh wait it's actually called bookmarks

maybe we should open a feature request to instead call them saves

@ShadowTheGPTWizard I still claim you are an undercover fan. As I said before, no way you "randomly" got that Alicorn award from Fox9000 otherwise

But alas! In the room page it's called conversations!

Terrible bug.

So you create something, and later can't find it.

@SPArcheon world is working in mysterious ways. :-D

@ShadowTheGPTWizard .... let's be hones. "Pony" just required you to reply with some generic terms that could be related to MLP. Unicorn required using a name of one of the Mane Six....

And alicorn.. it required using the nickname of one of them.

So, you have to explain why you called Rainbow Dash "Dashie" instead, without me telling you that :P

I have proof.

and thus the grumpy reputation of the "Shadow" Wizard was gone, as everyone found out they secretly liked ponies :P

:)

I'm updating the privilege page for the site analytics and one of the things it says currently is that sede doesn't have data about deleted posts - but that's not true any more, right? SEDE does have some info about deleted posts now... or am I confused.

@Catija join the club! But I'll look for some recent info, let me see...

Looks like there was always "PostsWithDeleted" table.

oh well "only" since 2015 or so:

would have been convenient if a link back to /tools was added when the analytics page was updated

@starball thanks!

@Catija ya :D
