Q: Is "The MSO/MSE Split is soon underway" grammatically correct?

We're in the middle of a historical time. Two creatures will be separated from each other. Waffles will be torn in two. Meta Stack Overflow will be split. This banner is currently being shown on Meta Stack Overflow and on Stack Overflow itself: The MSO/MSE Split is soon underway. Please be...

Hi, how do I handle rejected edits?

badp

btw who else remembers this: stackoverflow.uservoice.com/forums/1722-general

Braiam

"handle" as?

Bart

Curl up into a ball in the corner or your room and cry @random_user. Worked for me.

random_user

hahaha

Bart

But you have a link to the edit?

random_user

23:22

got it rejected by 2k users only

that's what concerns me

stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/4594346

Bart

Myeah, that rejection is correct it seems

Undo

@random_user Yeah - you're not supposed to suggest edits to 'improve' code - such advice is meant for comments.

3ventic's Shadow

or a new answer

random_user

I see

i didn't understood the rejection message

Blue Ice

ChrisForrence

@BlueIce ...I don't feel different. Maybe I need to reboot?

rene

And reinstall windows 95

ChrisForrence

@rene I can't find my copy of that. Do you have 3.1 handy?

rene

On 5 1/4 disks, is that a problem?

Annonomus Person

@rene Will it work as an email attachment?

@TheGuywithTheHat That's dumb... Why don't they post it somewhere that won't go down in ten minutes?!?!

Abby T. Miller

i'm just lurking around the employee rooms where more important people than i am are actually doing stuff, but from where i sit it looks like it'll be about 30 minutes

badp

THE HAPPENING WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES

animuson

I'm happy I'll have a chance at getting my Marshal badge on Meta again.

badp

and good night, chat.mso :'(

Annonomus Person

Will it go down during the split?

Tavern will be moved :'(

badp

23:41

It will move to chat.mse from what I know

ChrisForrence

Good night, sweet Tavern, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

Annonomus Person

Good night Tavern.

(Weeps at the end of the funeral service)

animuson

I was expecting some sort of automated message... "Please hold while we transfer you to a new site."

GnomeSlice

weeping is for nerds

Annonomus Person

@GnomeSlice Start weeping, everybody!!!

The Guy with The Hat

23:42

Waaaaaaaahhhhhh

3ventic's Shadow

I demand weeping.

Annonomus Person

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

badp

"Please hold while we rematerialize you on the other side, quark by quark"

GnomeSlice

so is it going down or what

Annonomus Person

Soon.

Listen to this and before it's done chat will be back. Probably.

Nothing can replace the Tavern! We will stay here until it stops letting us chat, and then pace back and forth impatiently until it lets us chat again.

@AnnonomusPerson No, SO won't be affected by this. But they need a banner there to inform people why Meta isn't working.

Although, once Meta stops working that link in the banner is going to be mighty useless.

Just change the link to i.sstatic.net/HEEC2.gif

We have temporarily repurposed CHQ.

animuson

Weird. I see it in the list but they never explained why Stack Overflow itself would be unavailable.

Undo

@animuson maybe so that they can update the meta link? I dunno :P

3ventic's Shadow

To copy the users over probably

animuson

They're not copying users. You'll be creating a new account on Meta Stack Overflow the first time you visit.

badp

we're keeping the accounts on MSE though, yes?

3ventic's Shadow

23:54

Yep

animuson

All the current accounts will turn into MSE accounts. MSO will have no accounts.

badp

@animuson wait, don't meta sites normally inherit accounts (and privs, and reps) from the parent site?

Laura

@badp yes. that's how the new MSO will work.

badp

uh, so why do we need to sign up?

animuson

@badp Yes, but the meta account doesn't actually exist until you visit meta.

badp

23:55

oh.

Laura

Yeah. It's not a sign up sign up, just a sign up so we create the associated account sign up.

GnomeSlice

So is it going down or what

animuson

@GnomeSlice You seem in an awful hurry. Are you planning something? stares intuitively

Laura

shortly. gathering a few more logs for the fire.

Will it end up in some other dimension, lost between Chat.mSO and Chat.SE?

@Undo It will be moved to Chat.MSE

23:58

Ah, okay

It'd be a real shame if someone's user account was "lost" as part of the move... — Nick Craver ♦ 1 min ago

^ I do not like this comment. It does not bode well for my continued existence.

Which means I'll have to update a bookmark and omg all the work I have to do for this!
