Anyway, the mod board wasn't that interesting anyway.
I'm more interested in two boards that don't seem to have made it to categories...

Fame and immortality! The last person ever to report spam on the old forum. :)
Maybe.

Maybe.
Indeed. We've still had the occasional spammer banned since new registrations were stopped, from accounts registered long ago.

Wut. I'm starting to think that spammers are from some parallel species that didn't evolve proper human brains or something like that... :/
-
They do that to get around restrictions based on "time of signup" - register a bunch of accounts, sit on them for a few months, sell them off to someone. Who might sit on them for another month before selling those off to someone who finally uses them.
-
I imagine that forum.tdwtf accounts must be selling for a premium these days...

.. there's a few turning up in Uncategorised as well - they will need sorting.
Actually - they're not - the ones I was looking at are 'supposed'1 to be there.
No new old-posts seem to be visible anywhere..
Β1. I suppose technically they could all go in
Trash
if I CBA to do anything with them. Irregardless, they were all there before the import attempt and there's nothing new there. Yet.

Do we merge the
Side Bar WTF
and"Side Bar" WTF
categories, or will those be treated separately?

I could care less about you're grammar naziing

What's a Zippy? And which one is the happy one? I'm faceblind.

-
To me, they look like Zippy and Happy Zippy
To me, they both look like :constipation:.

I see what you mean.

I've almost ended up with the second one a few times. I paint things sometimes, and sometimes I have a cup of coffee on the table as well as a water pot for cleaning the brushes.

I once drank a cup of cold gravy because I thought it was Nesquik

I once drank a cup of gravy on purpose, because gravy is yummy. It was still lukewarm though.

What, after the first taste, you yelled "damn the torpedoes" and kept going?

Dude. Gravy!

Cold gravy.
Better than warm chocolate milk.
ADDED: This is starting to sound like a Wiggles song.

There's other things it's better than. Did you ever hear the story of the nurse who drank from a potty of cholera* diarrhoea because she mistook it for a large coffee cup?
*I read about it a long time ago and don't want to google it at work, it may have been some other disease.
-

I call bluff; the smell alone would have prevented her doing so
-
It was in the midst of an epidemic and she'd been looking after cholera patients all day, I expect she'd have gotten fairly inured to the smell and/or the whole place smelt of it. But I didn't hear it from the [i]most[/i] reliable source in the world. I shall try to find out when I'm not at work.

Was the nurse's name Austin Powers?

Might be changing soon. The Email-is-disabled message is back.

...again?
-
Seems inconsistent. Not sure what's going on, though the server has been a bit slow, I think. And neither the user nor the post count is moving on the About page.
-
A little bit ago, the about page said 12K users. It now says 42K
Yay...
We're getting popular.
This has never happened before....
"For the first time in forever.... "

Seems to be back to normal again now.
But again, doing these tasks right when the forum is busiestβ¦

I must say, I enjoy the somewhat random ordering of the admins and mods on teh About page.

I swear I was in the status thread. Maybe I started writing and then changed threads and Discourse did that thing it does?

I'm guessing. database order?

i take it as a reminder that no one is safe from being TRWTF
-

Maybe. That's the best explanation I can think of. It's kind of cool to see database order change from day to day. Maybe the pgsql guys have been reading @blakeyrat's database ordering rants.

Ok, this is weird...
@RaceProUK is linking to a post in the Status thread, according to Discourse.

That would be AWESOME.
But it's more likely this forum was written by dumbshits who don't know anything about anything.

I only noticed that after I'd linked to this post from the status thread. I assumed it was noting that it had been linked to. Does Discourse do that?
-
i think that the link shows that the post is linked by another post on the status thread. not the other way around.
the arrow on the quote is ponting up, not right

Yes, but that's a very banal and repetitive point to make, so I thought I would leave it implied.

@CarrieVS linked to my post from hers, and Discourse did what it always does ;)

Yeah, well.
