It will be entertaining to see how this evolves, just as watching the killfile on Cruel was.  I can now only clearly remember a few names from the most killed list there - Horse (of course), some of the many faces of NYJ, emily, Top Poster, and, though he was long gone by the time I came on the scene, Stu_Pendisdick (not sure about the spelling) still managed to hang on to a top spot for years.  Did anyone happen to save any statistics for posterity's sake?

Zookeeper?!

Stu Pendiskick was my hero. Three nonstop weeks of word salad, wasn't it? Top Poster was one of the many faces of Jew and I know Scsotd topped the charts for at least a few weeks because I put him there. Good times.

And hey, since you're here, Choad...

Does the top menu load in the same spot as the banner pic because I use firefox, or is this a bug?  Depending on the banner pic, I sometimes can't even see the menu.



...and blue text on black background is a little rough, too.

Minor complaints.  I like this board otherwise.

Thanks, that's better.

And look!  I'm #2 on the ignore list.

Why would she ignore me?

I don't even think Crotchweazel's ignoring me.  Hmm.  I wonder who I pissed off so bad in a week.

i ain't ignoring ya, ralf.puke, i'm sending extra-bad-psychic-carma waves towards you, in the ernest hope that youll acidentaly shoot yourslef in the asshole. Looser.

It's nice to be popular...

...and no, that's not me...
I'm guessing the same four that are ignoring me are the very same I'm ignoring....plus one...admin knows who that is....

I just sent Kathy a note telling him that we miss him and where to find us.

Sorry.  I never kept killfile stats.  Only top poster stats.  And even if I did still have the raw data from the stats I ran I'd never admit it (since I don't want to go wading through it again).

Trick, please. I would never ignore you, Brother Raoul. I even posted Fear and Loathing, in honor of your glorious ressurection.

Now the new village idiot on the other hand...I could ignore it.

Does this mean I've been made redundant?

Oh, Lurky...I'm so sorry. No one from Human Resources spoke with you today? An impressively qualified candidate has won the position.

Oh, this is awkward.

If it's any consolation, we offer a generous severance package.

No apologies necessary, it was getting to be a stressful position to ...uh, fill... my knees were getting chaffed as well...

Amen. Let the asshattery begin.

Any thoughts on managing headers?

I tried to manipulate it a bit, but PHP is not my strong point, and the way it's constructed is a bit obtuse, so I failed, and I've been waiting to have some more free time before I start at it again.  Someone with decent PHP foo should be able to fix it fairly easily.  Basically it sets the source of the image to headerimage.php instead of using headerimage.php to generate the name of the file to serve, so nobody ever caches the header images.  I'd go into more detail on why it's a little harder than it sounds, but I won't post it here.  If you can get choad to forward me your email I'll tell you the hidden wrinkle.

Oh man.  Killfile...

So, has Whorse showed up yet?

Oh, and where do I go to see those who have been killfiled by others?  Or is that a luxury I gave up when I gave up my admin status...

In your profile, under 'display,' at the bottom.

Sorry all, I'm a bit Rustic (yeah I meant that).

choad sent me an archive of the PHP files, so I can take a look at those and see if I can figure something out.  My e-mail is equilateralparallelogram at Yahoo, any guidance on the problem you mentioned is welcome.

Life with a killfile is like not ever getting to watch a homeless man shit in an intersection, or listen to someone crazy chew out a cashier, or attend a goddawful company christmas party. In other words, I won't be using that feature, because it's unamerican, goddamn it.

Amen!

Resorting to use of a killfile is the most craven of internet surrenders.

BTW, I would NEVER ignore our sweet little Princess...

Speaking of gratuitous animal snuff, I fed the ol' boa tonight and took video in the hopes of getting something worth horrifying CuntWeevil with, but I was not happy with the result.  Before the next feeding I'll construct a proper video-friendly arena (the glass tank I currently use fucks up my POS camera's auto-focus something fierce, and it's hard to get a good angle on the action in it anyway).

I had a friend with a Boa, he always said the feeding was a very intimate thing for the serpent.   I guess I can see why, and also NEVER feed them in their habitat.  This way you can still reach in and pick them up without getting bitten....you did learn the first time not to let it associate your hand with food?

Yeah, I knew about that before I got him.  I've never fed him in his terrarium. 

While swallowing a meal, the snake is at its most vulnerable to predators, so he does tend to get a little snippy around mealtime.  I've been bitten 3 or 4 times, and it's always more surprising than it is painful, and every time I was doing something I shouldn't have been.  Once they get the scent of prey they get really bitey, but that's about the only time you have to worry about it.

Too bad tonight's video came out like crap.  Rat #1 was taken while asleep and never made a sound.  Rat #2 died slow and noisy.

Ideally, I want to see another profile display entry, this one for image selection - banners and sidepics - and allow selection numbers determine which images random select for vistors and un-logged in members alike.  Let consensus decide, not some image snob like me.

You realize, don't you, sooner or later Kathy will add auto-display videos to his cut and paste skill set.

You.  Slandering.  Bastard.  You only threw that in because you knew I'd be offline for three days.

Spam?  SPAM????!!??  My ass.  Sir, you have performed a tremendous service this day.  I will be establishing a planted tank in the near future, and what I've needed but hadn't put forth any effort to find was some sort of source for unusual specimens to fill it.  Wow.  AquaBid.  I'm sporting aquatic wood.
