Yay!!
 
@ɥʇǝS ɥʇǝS 'ǝɯ sʇɔɐɹʇsᴉp ǝɯɐu ɹno⅄
 
lol, I just tabbed back here and my first reaction was "what the? Shog saying 'yay!!'? o_O"
@LynnCrumbling Your 'y' appears as a little box for me, so you said "Our name is distracting me Seth" ;P
 
#blame Shog
he gave the idea to use his profile image
 
ahh, I'm so confused now >.>
 
user259867
I am not distracted by avatars as much as I'm distracted by real names. Hate those.
 
5:04 PM
If it talks like a gal, it ain't Shog @ɥʇǝS
Hi @babaji, how are you? Can I have your phone number please?
^that's to scare ɥʇǝS, the next tome he tabs back here ;)
 
user259867
Phone calls are too distracting. I'm trying to think of a meta question to post, to test Smokey...
 
lol
 
Smokey only watches MSE, it doesn't watch child metas
 
this is so weird.
@InfiniteRecursion because, according to SE, child metas are never "active" :/
 
user259867
I have 38 questions on MSE already. Would editing one of them be enough to trigger the detector?
 
5:09 PM
yes
 
Yes, editing bumps the post with the name of the original author, so bump your own post
!!/alive?
 
@InfiniteRecursion You doubt me?
 
Nope :)
He is colorless, too boring....I love colors
@babaji, let us know when you edit a post :)
 
user259867
 
!!/alive?
 
5:15 PM
@ProgramFOX Of course
 
You missed babaji Smokey :/
 
weird
 
user259867
I suspect bribery. You treacherous bot!
 
Nice avatar @babaji :)
 
Hm. I also edited it and SmokeDetector still did not catch it.
And it actually appeared on the realtime tab.
 
5:18 PM
Run your bot @ProgramFOX and debug...
 
Okay, apparently it isn't watching the realtime tab anymore.
!!/status
 
@ProgramFOX Running since 17:19:23 UTC
 
Ok, restarted.
 
user259867
Should I edit again?
 
yes
 
@babaji ^
 
A lot of MSE users are going to get scare attacks by seeing the active tab being edited by baba ji

user259867
Success! Now don't whitelist the name...
 
@InfiniteRecursion what are you doing with Shog's avatar?
 
user259867
(unless it whitelists by user Id?).
 
5:22 PM
Ok, I will use it, let's see if it distracts you when I use your avatar :) — Infinite Recursion 1 hour ago
@babaji yes, it does
 
It distracts me
 
It doesn't distract him :(
 
I guess it's fine as long as you have his permission and don't use his username :/
 
@ɥʇǝS must have collapsed by now seeing me chat with babaji :P
2
Of course, I gave attribution in my profile that this is Shog9's picture
As for permission, content is licensed cc-by-sa 3.0, like all other stuff :D
 
user259867
Anyone noticed w3facility.info ? Looks like an interesting project.
 
5:27 PM
@Shog9, I am formally seeking your permission, can I use your profile picture here?
If you object, I will remove it.
 
^I whitelisted that user earlier....hmm
 
is it a per-site whitelist?
 
user259867
^^ I think it is; the bot records the profile URL.
 
@babaji, please contact babaji and take formal permission for using his name
2
 
5:31 PM
We know his phone number
 
*phone numbers
 
I would probably prank call it if it wasn't long distance / international
 
user259867
Skype... BTW, is Baba a male name? This is not what I thought.
 
@Undo I'm sure is a paypercall number
 
still cheaper than travelling and making a local phone call
 
5:32 PM
it has to be
 
@Andy Let it go, let it go. Can't keep them in the fridge anymore. Let it go, let it go. When they thaw, you'll be out the door. / I don't care what they're going to say, let the reports pile on, the paperwork never bothered me anyway! — MichaelT 6 mins ago
Bravo claps
 
Judging by the quality of his posts @Undo, I doubt what the quality of the prank call would be
 
Aargh.... I really should go see that newest Disney musical just to really enjoy the references...
 
Hmm, Shog didn't give permission :(
Will revert back to my original image
...or to something else...
Conclusion of my experiment: Shog's profile image distracts users, even though he thinks it doesn't
@babaji, aren't you messing up the google search reasult for those users who are looking for babaji?
 
5:50 PM
@SmokeDetector fpu
 
@Undo Registered as false positive, added title to Bayesian doctype 'good', whitelisted user.
 
user259867
Argh, I thought bob was already whitelisted. I specifically answered & edited his question to see if whitelisting works.
 
It might have a problem with the hourly reset
 
If they google for him, your high quality math posts will show up and scare them...maths scares most people in general...
 
user259867
No, I think the reason is that nobody fpu'd the earlier appearance of bob on math.SE
 
5:54 PM
Or maybe it's just my personal prefs due to which google is showing me maths.se posts...hmm...
Got it, I will stop my soliloquy now
@babaji, on how many of your profiles are you using this name?
 
user259867
This one: on all of them. Don't worry, about to change to something else.
 
Good, else some users are going to report your profile for sure
 
user259867
Now that the account deletions are so easy, and creating an account gives a free pass on network-wide username change... I wonder why would anyone have the same username for two days in a row.
 
Mainly because we want to be recognized
 
Yes that^, this becomes an alternate identity and a habit. I identify with Inf and Undo identifies with his name
Oct 26 at 12:05, by Bart
Wait ... so your name is not Infinite Recursion? .... my whole life is a lie ...
^see, how devastated
 
Sam
6:08 PM
Hiya
 
Hiya
Quick question: Is usage of Shog's image distracting you ?
 
I see a duck
 
Sam
^
 
^
 
^ I reloaded, am normal again :)
 
Sam
6:13 PM
"normal"? And here I am thinking it wasn't possible...
 
Why?
Jan is borked, and Bart is away, everything else is normal, isn't it?
2
 
... someone borked Jan?
 
Sam
Oh, I didn't notice. I guess so.
 
This sounds like a crisis
 
Sam
@Undo <music> Who ya gonna call? Spam busters! </music>
 
6:16 PM
Yeah, he is strange nowadays, asks a lot of questions about himself...on a self-evaluation mode
He is a person, not just a spam buster anymore
@Jan, any questions...feel free to ask! Sam and Undo are here to answer :)
 
Sam
But we can't answer any of your "self-evaluation" questions though. ;)
 
They are pretty simple questions...like do you like me? Why? Should I try harder? Am I not comical when I am angry etc
You guys can answer them very easily :)
 
Sam
I think Jan needs a holiday.
 
.... not borked?
 
Sam
... who knows?
 
6:34 PM
... hmm
 
Sam
... notices the train
 
... if any of you answer him, it may help him. I can't answer, because of reasons, but any of you can tell him your opinions and complete the self-evaluation
 
Sam
... Ok, just as long as he doesn't send me spam emails asking me to fill out a "Jan survey".
 
... Spam him back with Sam, Pham and Gham surveys
 
Sam
... Alright lol.
 
6:41 PM
… Lol?!
 
... @Jan, are you here?
 
Sam
... "seen 32s ago"...
 
that just means the browser is open to this page
 
Sam
So he's still kinda-ish here.
 
or it means he got kidnapped and the kidnapper didn't bother to close this tab.
Which you can't blame them for. Kidnapping is a stressful occupation
 
6:46 PM
o/
 
Sam
\o
@Undo I guess you've had some experience :P
 
The best solution to curiosity is to ask and get answers... so poke @Jan to ask away
 
welcome @Pham!
 
Hiya
 
No wonder we don't see any spam on SR
even baba stays away from SR
 
6:49 PM
@justabrickinthewall nope
 
Sam
>>status
 
Current status: Beta.
 
anyway babaji discussion is also a spam
smokey is also active
 
Try pinging @babaji and see the magic @TGMCians
 
ah nah i don't want to see black magic
:)
 
6:54 PM
You will be surprised, try it
 
ping @babaji
#nomagic
#lier :p
 
Conclusions: Jan has been kidnapped, or is shy, or angry, or didn't read the SE be nice policy!
 
oh i also didn't see him here
why ?
 
#checkthebabajiautofillpopup
Babaji has finally put his numerical skills to good use and become a high rep user on maths.SE
no one knows why, he is missing :(
 
7:10 PM
Back I am.
 
TIL that there is cranberry sprite!
 
hey frank
 
Sam
@Frank Back welcome.
 
@bjb568 There's some in the lobby at my apartment. And a pile of candy. Me eat! Is yum!
 
@bjb568 Cranberry sprite? Yuck!
 
7:11 PM
@Frank It's good when mixed with lemonade.
Then again, you're a tree…
 
@bjb568 Yuck! I thought you were a cat!
 
@Frank Sorta.
 
Cats hate cranberry sprite and lemonade! And candy...
 
A very old cat, it's taste buds are hardly active...
 
Oh yeah, he's 94.
 
Sam
7:12 PM
*A very old cat wearing a bra...
 
Aug 20 at 21:46, by bjb568
Because I'm a genetically modified and electronically enhanced kitten, I go thru time at varying speeds.
 
As soon as he completes his next year and gets a yearling badge, report his profile! 94+ not allowed on SE
 
yes i agree
we will do :p

I may or may not have pulled some strings ;)

Thanks @Frank, for cleaning SO

Is the cat borked too? It said pls o_O

@InfiniteRecursion Actually, those were old active flags on my list :/, I flagged them because they were cv-pls'd in here, but they didn't get finished off...

I should try to limit it to once a week or so.
 
7:27 PM
tell them the tavern spoiled you ;P
 
@justabrickinthewall Haha. I could crumble you with my root system now that you're a brick...
 
Nice @Frank :)
 
@InfiniteRecursion What? crumbling bricks is nice? Ok... That's new.
 
Frank was a green tree with his real before he entered the tavern, now look what we did to him :D
he got a gold badge on a 3 year old post...all golden
 
@InfiniteRecursion That's not evil.
 
7:31 PM
no @Frank, I meant your cv-pls flagging is nice
 
@InfiniteRecursion /me is getting old :D
 
Yes, it's not evil, it's tavern effect
:D
Use underscore for italics
Underscore/me is a duckUnderscore
 
@InfiniteRecursion Flags aren't very effective, I just want to get a Marshal badge, while still at 101 rep. :)
 
Like jan has one on drupal
 
@InfiniteRecursion Ha! Jan on drupal... I wonder why that site gets so much spam.
 
7:36 PM
It gets longer life span...have seen spam hang on for more than 3 hours there, that's hardly possible on other sites
 
@InfiniteRecursion asterisks work too.
 
Sam
@InfiniteRecursion I always use * (and so does Pham) ;)
 
@Inf we're the same color...
That's weird.
 
Yes @Frank :)
 
7:39 PM
@InfiniteRecursion Was that... your plan?
 
not at all
 
yellow.
 
I saw just now....after you said it
 
@InfiniteRecursion Good.
@Shog9 orange.
 
auburn.
 
7:40 PM
Hi @Shog, now I don't look like you anymore, but users did get distracted by your picture...just so you know
 
crazy users.

@Shog9 russet.
@Shog9 Me?!
Me = not crazy in the least.
 
amber.
 
@Shog9 golden.
Why are we wagging in the taern?
 
7:42 PM
Not you @Frank, crazy users is in the context of an experiment I did some time ago
hiya @JanDvorak :)
 
@InfiniteRecursion OOh. Interesting. Tell me about it.
 
I thought you were eaten by a bicycle @jan

7:46 PM
Someone deleted the post @Frank, Shog wrote on a MSO post that his profile image doesn't distract users, so I kept it for a few minutes and checked, everyone was distracted
Seth was surprised when he saw Shog's image say Yay!!
 
@InfiniteRecursion Haha!
 
To be fair, I do say "yay" a lot. Just not to Seth.
 
@Unihedron huh wha?

hallo
 
7:51 PM
bai
 
@InfiniteRecursion funny.
@InfiniteRecursion yes, always say bai when bjb shows up. It's a good habit to get into. :P
 
:D
cats can climb trees, so be careful
 
@InfiniteRecursion Not him... he can't see where he's going anymore.
From being 94, and wearing sunglasses.
He's as blind as a bat.
 
A cat on the keyboard is more dangerous
 
@InfiniteRecursion ...but he won't climb me. :D
 
7:59 PM
He will type gibberish in chat
 
@InfiniteRecursion He already does.
 
Do you know what would look really wrong?
 
Shog8
 
Oh, I thought I would bring death, but no...
just made it -6.
 
I don't have an account there
also, I tried to be nice and help meanie, and he is ignoring me...hmm
 
@InfiniteRecursion Looks like they will get spam... why not create one?
 
@InfiniteRecursion Jan == meanie now? ;)
 
@InfiniteRecursion Which one?

@bjb568 If I had a static footer, I would have to create a header. If the header was static, the user would still have to scroll around to navigate.
:eek:
 
I don't want to go in that room because it appears I am the wrong age and in the wrong field. :P
 
Sam
@Frank Good for you. Hopefully you shall never have to face the horrors that lie in that room.
 
@Sam Now I'm curious...

@InfiniteRecursion Oh, so you get stars for my message, but I don't any stars for my message? I see how it is.

Looks like fun.
 
That thing is clearly to old to be useful.
 
Not for the utility, but I don't think it's my definition of a "fun" room
 
Sam
@Frank The guy isn't that old ;)
 
8:23 PM
@InfiniteRecursion I meant what the guy in the pic is doing.
 
@Sam Whaa? 85 if he's a day!
 
I am innocent, I don't know why no one stars @hichris123's messages

@InfiniteRecursion I can do a count, and prove that wrong...
 
@InfiniteRecursion I have 6 pages of starred messages. ;P

@InfiniteRecursion I may be around for a while yet...

Read Meta every second of every day for the rest of your life. If Stack Overflow is crack, then Meta is 100% pure grade-A Colombian snow. Some people find Meta to be way more interesting than the questions they find over on the main site. — Cupcake Jul 29 at 21:05
