Until six hours ago, when TheTXI got one, the etiquette tag badge had only ever been awarded to one person: Shog9. Clearly, some sort of bribery/vote fraud ring is at work here.
Jin is ready to start working on your logo so we need to finalize the site name choice.
The top-voted choice, quicksave.com, is not for sale. The only viable candidate is "Pause for Help" (pauseforhelp.com), which we are currently holding.
If anyone has any awesome, last-minute brainstorming su...

@rchern Yup, that's my impression as well. I mean, "Quick Save" isn't exactly brilliant - it'd be a fine name if it was available, but why waste time on it when it isn't? Unless... you really don't have anything.
> No response on Infinite Lives. And everyone--absolutely everyone--that I market-tested "That One Level" on hated it. So I went with this communities highest voted choice, "Pause for Help." I was hoping to hear some better suggestions here. We should be able to do better. – Robert Cartaino♦
Hi all. I'm Jin and I'll be working on the designs for the Stack Exchange sites as they graduate from the beta phase. Each site will have its own unique theme that will reflects its topic. However, all sites will share quite a bit of common elements so they feel like they're part of the Stack Exc...
What was it with pastel green back in the '50s? Was that like black-and-chrome today? Did people see a pastel green Studebaker crusin' down the highway and, learing, shout "Sexxy!"
@badp : Re: The second Gaming-domain post. The post was to announce "this is your choice (the top-voted answer) and we're going with this, unless you have any other last-minute, awesome suggestion" ...that everyone would love. It wasn't supposed to devolve into another round of (not a whlole lot better) names.
Ah, so it's the software that's KEEPING people from suggesting good names? I'd agree if there were names in there that were good but just not being recognized. So how do we fix the software to get people to come up with better names?
Back on topic, @Robert if you want a better suggestion for a domain name I'd say you're going to have to force one on us, we're not going to manage on our own.
I contacted the guy about throwncontrollers and he said he had a website slated to launch in that domain in fall 2010, but here is the thing, he registered it back in '07. I'm willing to bet that come winter, there will still be no website
@tzenes I'm "most okay" with the top-voted choice. I'm considering a focused chat room session (announced) to get a bunch of people in the room brainstorming interactively last week's impromptu version. It would be a last-ditch effort before we implement Pause for Help. We made way more progress in last week's impromptu session (but still no ultimate result) than 2-1/2 months of a meta thread.
Sure, whatchya wanna contribute? I don't have it committed yet. I was going to, and then realized I was about to commit my connection string. Probably not the best idea.
Well, WCF handles things like threading and sync-context anyway - not sure that (background-thread) is a good idea, simply because WCF probably isn't going to use it. Can't you just use the IIS/ASP.NET WCF host? Perhaps with a custom service-factory if you really need?
There is also the runtime host component - ServiceHost or something? I'm a bit rusty. But you can use that puppy to run a WCF server from a console exe.
Technically a third, a background scheduling thread. It processes a series of timed events at scheduled times based on whatever is scheduled in the database.
I'd think that a scheduling thread should run with WCF, which is why I put it there. So taht the web UI can run on a different server if it needed.
In the (very small) markup file (.svc), you can optionally set a service factory that is responsible for creating your service. Useful if you can't do all your config in static files.
I used it once to disable http 100%, due to a broken NLB
(due to how WCF lifts itself above ASP.NET (and even IIS, depending on the version), and how IIS handles config, it simply couldn't identify the site over http; needed https or it YSOD

@TheUnhandledException Welcome to Iceland, sir. Here are your new papers. Note that, while we use the term "papers" for consistency, your documents are printed on waffles -- please do not ingest them. You can see the man at that desk about your unicorn.
@TheUnhandledException I must now quote Dave Barry's Only Travel Guide You'll Ever Need. Feel free to ignore me for the next couple of minutes.
ICELAND According to a competing travel guidebook, Iceland offers--this is a direct quote--"boiling mud pools." We're on our way!

@Shog9, your "I'm entering the room" floaty icon just got in the way of me clicking on "all rooms." Turns out that clicking while it's floaty does still bring up the user info popup thing.
Anyone know where to download the Microsoft Macro Compiler? Fancy messing around in Assembly... MSDNs version is from 1999, one in Microsoft download center says a few years old, but Wikipedia says there was a release a few months ago... can't find it anywhere!
@GregHewgill It was always something I wanted to look at - Microsoft have so many resources on MSDN for it, I thought it would be easiest to go down that route... TBH, I know nothing about it and don't care that much what I use.
