Hi there!

First time I join SO chat,

I mean except the times I was prompt to go to chat cause my comments on some question were getting numerous

Shadow Wizard

8:51 AM

@AnixPasBesoin welcome! How did you get here? :)

BTW, it's not SO chat, it's MSE chat - different domain and server, different rooms. ;)

Q: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

What is the Sandbox? This "Sandbox" is a place where Programming Puzzles & Code Golf (PPCG) users can get feedback on prospective challenges they wish to post to the main page. This is useful because writing a clear and fully specified challenge on the first try can be difficult. There is a much...

M.A.R.

@Pandya That sentence is ungrammatical

Shadow Wizard

1454 answers @Pan, doubt there's more... @rene might have already wrote a cross site query to get question with most answers. @rene?

@AnixPasBesoin the bigger the better! (ask @Dro and @ber they know this as well... ;))

berserk

@M.A.R. That too, without a period at the end.

@ShadowWizard heh

AnixPasBesoin

Haha, well I posted this issue on meta meta.stackexchange.com/questions/290505/… and a user named "Shadow Wizard" which must me you commented on it, was kinda curious, so I check his profile, and found a link to this chatroom!

Shadow Wizard

lol

Wonder who is this "Shadow Wizard" :D

M.A.R.

@AnixPasBesoin That user is a jerk

I hate him

Shadow Wizard

@M.A.R. yeah, totally!

AnixPasBesoin

8:56 AM

Haha! who is it?

Shadow Wizard

@AnixPasBesoin no idea!

AnixPasBesoin

How come he's a jerk?

Shadow Wizard

@AnixPasBesoin that "Shadow Wizard" love to troll people

berserk

or maybe he jerks off a lot...

AnixPasBesoin

I'm sure it's you! Haha

Shadow Wizard

8:56 AM

He even turned himself into a ghost, and trolled poor and innocent @Pan

AnixPasBesoin

How are they doing now? Those trolled innocent ppl?

Shadow Wizard

@AnixPasBesoin oh, @Pan is fine, he got promoted to Room Owner. :P

(by the ghost)

You own any room, @Anix?

AnixPasBesoin

Nope! I don't even know what a room owner is haha

I don't think I own any.

So, may I ask a newbie question? What is this room about?

Shadow Wizard

@AnixPasBesoin one who creates a new room, or get that role from existing room owner, or a moderator. :)

M.A.R.

@AnixPasBesoin Offensive jokes

Shadow Wizard

8:59 AM

@M.A.R. nah, not offensive unless one is offended by boobs. :P

AnixPasBesoin

Really? How offensive should I be?

M.A.R.

@ShadowWizard A mod isn't a room owner but has more abilities than one

Shadow Wizard

@M.A.R. a mod can grant RO to anyone afaik, even 1 rep users

M.A.R.

@AnixPasBesoin Normal male

AnixPasBesoin

How can I own this room?

M.A.R.

9:00 AM

@ShadowWizard Oh, I misread your sentence

Shadow Wizard

@AnixPasBesoin you need existing owner to give you that role

AnixPasBesoin

Haha! I'm invading it!

AnixPasBesoin

How many ppl died before me?

M.A.R.

Alright, I gotta go offline. Cya all

May I know, technically, is this chat room run in a private server?

Pandya

@M.A.R. I may sometimes poor in English grammar:(

Shadow Wizard

@AnixPasBesoin nope, it's hosted on Stack Exchange web server, same one that hosts Meta Stack Exchange (where you asked the tag icons question) as well. :)
