@AaronHall and then literal roboflagging, as SD overtakes Skeet, Harry....

Today is the 313th day of the year (314th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 52 days remaining until the end of the year. This date is slightly more likely to fall on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday (58 in 400 years each) than on Saturday or Sunday (57), and slightly less likely to occur on a Tuesday or Thursday (56).

@Shog9 are you around? Sorry to bother, but there's an argument that's been going on in this room and I think mod intervention is needed

or @JonEricson if you're willing

Thanks

@angussidney Seems to have settled a bit?

@JonEricson yeah, one of the main participants left the room. It should remain calm for now, and hopefully it won't flare up again if they come back.

Thanks for taking a look, anyway

@angussidney Sure thing.

@Shog9 I sent a support ticket a while ago, and JNat told me you might be contacting me about it. Do you consider it already resolved with your meta post?

@JourneymanGeek no point in making enemies. peace is better :-)

Hence why I recommend ignoring them.

And making peace through superior firepower.

I even support nuclear war if it is for peace

I have only 8 flags in SU and 7 are helpful

Oh my god

Be careful with PII

no real PIII there

@Elias American PII?

OMG.... such a powerful CPU.

PII sounds better than i7 though.

@Michelle not sure about this, it could be NAA

"the link is not working" = the site?

but rarely with any other text

waiting for spammer to write a code snippet that displays spam site on the console

No

@ShaWizDowArd :D

@Michelle I mean, if we stopped work on Channels today, sure. But as soon as people start contributing content, it'll be just as messy as Docs. Doing the right thing with content we no longer plan to host is inherently complicated.

It helps when people just take initiative:

I spent my morning fiddling with a script to rehost examples.
