Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I havent been paying attention. Is nikki doing one of those new things, has Alorael finally changed his image, or is there seriously a bat-pony named Sylae-kyle is in our mist? Seeing as how Sylae has about as many posts as me...

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 That's an easy one to figure out for yourself. Nikki has the custom title Humany-Wumany. He's been lampooning others' PDNs and avatars. He's on the bottom of the Top Posters list. His name appears in black. There is a black-named user going by Sylaena Kyle on the bottom of the Top Posters list. You do the math. —Alorael, who has considered adding ever-changing avatars or titles to the mix. He does have fun with his title occasionally, but his avatar has changed only once that he can remember since they were first allowed on the UBB.

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (it's a cat-pony, not a bat-pony. maybe it's not that clear if you don't know the catwoman outfit i'm playing off.) Anyway, sorry for the confusion. I figured since I was several names into this list that people would figure it out, but I probably should try and stick "Nikki" into my signature again like I briefly did with Bane.

Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 The Humany-Wumany looked familiar. I thought it was you, I just didn't remember for certain who had the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 If someone is changing their PDN around, there's a good chance it's Nikki or Alorael. If they're changing their avatar, too, you've eliminated the latter. Edit: Trenton, your signature makes my brain hurt. Why do you do these things to us?

Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 You never know... Not all things stay the same... Even Alorael, may change. Probably not this year.

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yes, but not his avatar. Speaking of which, Nikki, I think your knock-off may be cuter than Sylae's original. It's a little closer up so you can see the sparkly eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ineffable Wingbolt Erebus the Black Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Well, given the fact that Trenton's post count is on par with sylae's who has registered 2 years before him and way over acteon's who registered 5 years before him, it seems Trenton is actively vying for entering the top posters list Watch out nikki or you'll be overrun before you know it And nightwatcher is breathing down both your necks Euwww Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Don't get too excited. He's only a third of the way there, and is slowing down some. Iffy was posting that much at the beginning, although Trenton has already shown more long term resolve than he did. Nikki will stay in the top 10, anyway- he's going to pass TM before Trenton gets anywhere near him. In any case, I'm not a good indicator of the community. If you recollect Slarty's census, I was grouped in with the long time occasional posters. ... I feel like a sports announcer. I should stop letting myself get drawn in to competitive conversations.

Ineffable Wingbolt BMA Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Many of you've got thousands and thousands of posts; I'll never catch up. I'll just call it a milestone and be happy when I get to a postcount of 500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Quality over quantity is by no means a bad thing when it comes to postcount.* I expect my frequency of posting to decrease even more in a few weeks, as college life steals my time. *I'm reminded of an awkward discussion of postrate...

Well-Actually War Trall Harehunter Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 You amuse me with your ambition for high volume of posts. Unfortunately, I don't have time for such. You see, someone called ixfd64 very politely informed me that my website resembles a massive toroid (i.e. it sucks wind through a flat paper straw with hurricane force.) Apparently Internet Explorer does not conform to the W3C standards for style sheets. Firefox works perfectly, but now I have to go back and rip out all that css code and go back to primitive table structures. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Windows are a pane in the glass.

If you continue to post ridiculous crap like this, I will go on the record as hoping that you are permanently banned as soon as humanly possible. There are and should be enforceable lines to at least keep communication on Spiderweb at the "readable" level at minimum, and I'm shocked that in a community like Spiderweb that prides itself on the level and quality of its discourse, people have displayed such reluctance to publicly call you out for not only not even trying to reform, but in fact actively trying to become worse as time passes. I was willing to extend you the benefit of the doubt for your first month or so, and common courtesy kept me from saying things when you were at least trying to get better, but this has gone too far for too long now. Shape up or get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 ^ that. It really is becoming quite the bother, dear. Perhaps a different gimmick would suit you better?

Hell, the most recent version of IE is somewhat compliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 @Harehunter If you have such problems with windows, buy curtains :3 They will know that they have done something wrong when you refuse to look at/out them. :| Why does everything I do bother people so much? I also only did it one line per 5 posts. If you don't like my signature, don't read it. Alorael, Sylae, Dikiyoba, Lilith, All of them can have their little gimmicks. Why come down on me for trying to distinguish myself? I apologize :| My parents must have done a horrible job raising me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Don't get discouraged, Trenton. Dikiyoba thinks SW is more interesting for your presence. As far as gimmicks go, they can be fun, but you're already distinguishable without one, and gimmicks don't really make you memorable in a good way anyway.

Well-Actually War Trall Harehunter Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 It's that "somewhat compliant" thing I'm running into. Early research indicates that you have multiple css definitions with conditional wrappers for each of them. And the tags to implement those conditional blocks are html, not css, which means you can't offload them into an external css file. As a programmer, I like to minimize code replication as much as possible; it makes maintenance much easier to make a change in one place and have it work across all your pages. @Trenton, That was a good one. But I prefer to use shades so dark they won't even know my name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Trenton, I think the difference was that your gimmick actually made it very difficult to read that one line per five posts. I ignored the gimmick, but I also ignored whatever that line said because I can't be bothered to reprocess the text. —Alorael, who thinks most of the accepted gimmicks are accepted because they are minimally intrusive. This is a fairly normal paragraph, for instance. No one will have trouble getting through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming that you are looking at CalRef, which uses the default SMF theme because I can't be bothered to write my own (even though using the default theme bugs me). Most of the stuff on CalRef does have conditional stylesheets because the packages are designed to be usable for a majority of the internet, which includes IE people. If anyone has trouble using my site and use IE, there's exactly one solution: get a different browser because I don't care. An example of CSS that I have touched is available here (from my non-pony tumblr). The only duplication there is from webfonts (browser wars), the css3 columns (still using vender extensions on a couple browsers), and some redundant fontage (because tumblr is a pain in the ass). There are also examples of my CSS (and crappy modified javascript, what fun!) on the chat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love your attitude! I wish I could be so care-free. Comes from my obsession of making my programs work each and every time for everyone. I get the feeling that I am going to have to school again (online) to learn more about how to make css work the way I am used to doing with my other programming languages; modularized, subroutinized, global, and reusable. I *will* beat it into submission. I like to add a little seasoning to my html, and I reflatfuse to conform to someone elses template. Color me mule-headed. (BTW: Didn't I mention somewhere that if one decides to enter the I.T. field, one should be prepared to be constantly climbing that learning curve ladder?) All that said, I have gotten my web site cleaned up, although I did find a glitch on my Avernum 2 maps with the flyover script. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
