Well please ELI5 (or too lazy to try to figure out) what you did. Just log the contents of the deleted post?

I'm not seeing the issue here, it's essentially the same as following, but instead of getting a notification it sends it to the server logs.
Yep.

@candlejack1 The whole 'notify everyone' thing was not cool.

As @accalia told you, there's a difference between trolling and being an asshole.
i thought that was quite eloquent if i do say so myself. Not my best work, but certainly one of my better efforts.
-
@Arantor well, I didn't know so much people had so much trouble with notifications, tbh

@candlejack1 It was really more of a gestalt thing.

You obviously weren't paying attention to a certain rat's spaz attack a few weeks ago, were you?

I didn't say anything about their character, just that the ensuing happenstance should have clued in the forum about endless notifications. Especially those that were active in the forum during that time.

It's probably going to suck, based on the specs, and the fact that sub-$100 Android tablets do.
If you were looking for a good tablet, I highly recommend the Zenpad S 8" (Z580CA). It's got an Atom in it. My only complaint is that I wish it had 3GB instead of 2, and that it wasn't also super-aggressive in killing backgrounded Activities.

It probably will suck. But if the web browser works well enough to test web applications on Android, that's good enough for me, and if not at least it was cheap.
-
@mott555 Gotcha. As long as "fast" isn't in your criteria it'll probably be more or less acceptable.

Maybe you should ask him.
I mean, I'll accept the idea you could be some new troll who showed up right when @fbmac disappeared, but based on behavior, you might as well be him, so I'll just assume you are. If either of you don't like that, then act better.

I disagree, anywhere on the intertubes, the definition of trolling is of an asshole that rile people up for his own entertainment.
There is a good definition at how stuff works for them.

If I weren't too lazy, I'd explain this with a Venn diagram. Not all assholes are trolls--a good troll can be entertaining (at least to 3rd parties).
-
@FrostCat in this forum people are used to confuse "troll" with "make jokes", or being sarcastic, but none of the typical troll behavior is amusing for everyone, at least none of the ones described in howstuffworks, or any other description I could find of the term "internet troll".

@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:
Yes, the servers are down, come back later.
Essentially, as soon as you tap a Pokémon, it zooms into it and you're promoted to toss a Pokéball at it. This doesn't work if the server doesn't acknowledge the Pokémon is there.It also queries the server each time you throw one (I guess to check whether it should succeed or not?) and once it says it's caught (to retrieve pokemon data?)
See, I thought that the 60 Mb app had all the data in it already (otherwise why is it so huge?!), but apparently not.

Okay, it was apparently a dumb move, because after ordering I got a promo email from my cell provider offering to add an 8" LG tablet to my plan for only $0.01, activation fee waived, and no additional monthly charges because it would go on my existing shared data plan. What are the chances of that?

And nvm. Promo email forgot to mention the $15/month charge for having the tablet.
-

Yeah, that's how having a dumb phone "for only $15/mo" ended up being $45/mo with promotional 1-month discounts.

Well, that's how SimCity 5 did it, and look how much money that made.
Gotta be online all the time! Otherwise how else can we prevent piracy? Oh, that didn't work, and people figured out how to get around it within days? [gene wilder/willy wonka 'do tell' macro goes here]
-
@mott555 Apparently, 100%. Too late to switch?
I wanted to actually do that, but all of Sprint's tablet options are stupid expensive, or shitty, as far as I can tell from reviews.
-

To be fair, the tablet was probably a hell of a lot better than the one you got from Amazon.
-
@FrostCat said in The Official Status Thread:

Fun fact: it doesn't appear that the online thing is supposed to prevent piracy, since it doesn't berate you for not installing it through a Trusted Source (like some apps do). No, there's just no storing the player state locally.

Shit, I don't know, I don't comment on YT videos just because of that. I assumed there'd be some kind of unsubscribe button like (say) Wordpress blogs have, because Shirley Google isn't that incomp--ahhahahahaha, sorry, I almost made it.
