Other websites water down their OAuth with ADULTERANTS like sign-up forms that ask for your PERSONAL DETAILS. But not Stack Exchange Dot Com The Page Not The Domain
But seriously, this is how every site on the network worked up 'til a few years ago: if you've never had a profile before, it'd tell you it knows nothing about your creds and confirm... Then link in your other accounts once you did.
@ShaWizDowArd Yes. He was sort of early, around 10.5 months. He couldn't wait to get up and go... he's always been like that. Constantly moving, always needing something interesting to be doing.
@Adam totally minor request, but worth trying.... can you please kick @Moosebot out of the Den? It's a bot and it's stuck, think it got auto restart mechanism but it needs to be kicked for it to trigger. Tried myself, but can't.
@Shog9 quick question... suppose you want to kick a user out of a room (force leave) who hasn't posted a message in the room for over two days. How can you do it?
so back to the login issue, you are saying that even though it tells me "If you think you already have a Stack Exchange account, and you were just trying to associate a new OpenID with your existing account, you're in the wrong place.", I should still go through?
your timestamp will be somewhere between the first two messages in this block
oh whoops my bad
I waited too long, it is probably that the Google token expired
ok, now it works, but I still wonder why you can't 1. integrate the login so I don't even have to go through that fiasco, and 2. make the login page look pretty like the other sites (Including SE Meta!):
the answer in both cases is "it's a separate part of the project (used to be an entirely separate codebase/repo, but not anymore) and it does a few things just differently enough to make it a pain in the ass"
if you want a ping to be ignored, describing it as "not really that important" is a good way to help me prioritize against it ;-)
@ShaWizDowArd done
The old kick route still exists, and has no particular restrictions on time since last activity (or even that they've ever posted in the room). It's pretty worthless for actual users, but if you just need an icon to no longer appear in the room...
We regret to inform that due to insufficient nominating candidates, we are currently terminating the ongoing election here on Theoretical Computer Science Stack Exchange. Thank you to Bjørn Kjos-Hanssen for having stood up as a candidate in this session. However, as explained previously, in order...
The candidate then went ahead and nominated in Math election. Hm.

So Bitcoin finally graduated, which I speculate is in some part due to Nick's retirement as a mod.

Lifehack: when your site is on the verge of graduation, announce retirement so that CMs will have to look for new mods, and just might graduate the site and have an election. You can still run in that election.
@Sklivvz this is disabled now. Though you may want to keep instant apps disabled until such a time as Google makes it a bit easier to control what opens links.
@Shog9 noooo.... bot owner came back in the meanwhile and rebooted the bot, and turns out it got no Auto Restart module like I thought. In other words... you killed Kenny Moosebot! :D
