[edit] New Archive

About time someone archived this! Now aside from that, On my computer [using OpenOffice.org 2.3], it says that my story is 93 pages long. How many KB's in size do you suppose The Sorcerers of Infinity would be? F.＜話して～！！＞20:36, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Save it with Npad(Or just divide the number of characters by 1024, or 1000 if you're even more lazy)User:Serprex 21:11, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

All right thanks. F.＜話して～！！＞20:23, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] I Need Help

A little while ago I was very active on this site, and I believe you might remember me from my admin request. Well, now I've created a new wiki of my own, and I'm having trouble creating a infobox for it. I remember from my time here that you are good at creating templates and things like that, and I was wondering if you could help me with this. I want to make all the fields after Genre disappear unless filled in. The infobox can be found here, and if you would simply fix the problem yourself, I would be most appreciative. I would also be glad if you would leave me a message explaining how to do it.

Thank you

Darth Skynyrd

What you need is something like on Template:Star and Template:Starb, where I used conditional statements to determine whether or not something shows up in the template. Similarly, you can decide what your template looks like 1) without something filled in and 2) with something filled in. Wikipedia also has plenty of examples, and you can always ask Angela, or Rieke, or etc.    20:16, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for that. But I need help again. Can you delete my userpage and all my stories? I can see your pretty stressed, but I'm hoping you'll help me out here.

Sorry for being a pain in the ass,

Darth Skynyrd 06:08, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

That's disappointing, but I'll get to deleting them. Why wouldn't you want to keep your stories around?    18:09, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Whoa. Hey, I didn't know you liked Everybody's Fool. F.＜話して～！！＞ 05:15, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

You do now. Go ahead - thank yourself for writing so well.    15:59, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

I just might will. And to answer your question, I'm mainly Filipino; my mother's family has Chinese here and there. Waaaaaaaaaaaaay down the line, there is some Japanese [the thing in my name says "daisuki da yo." which is my favorite song right now]. And if you know your history enough, you'll know that the Spanish conquered the Philippines for about 4-something centuries. So... yeah. F.＜話して～！！＞ 20:19, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I sort of get the feeling you aren't reacting so well to Friends~Love Circle. That's all right, because most of the time it's essentially inside jokes. That's all aright, it wasn't really supposed to go on this Wiki anyhow. It was written solely for the purpose of my personal catharsis and something for my friends to laugh at. I'm not saying delete it, but... F.＜話して～！！＞ 20:31, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Well I had based it all on the premise that it was actually fiction. But if it's not then please disregard much of those comments since they don't apply to you.

I check recent changes a couple times a day. As for multitasking...yes, I am quite guilty of thatUser:Serprex 23:25, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Wow, ya did it, Yun. Who's online is SO helpful- and I don't mean it sarcastically. F.＜話して～！！＞ 00:44, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Ha, and I had claimed earlier that I was psychic and knew who was surfing the site before they posted. The problem? WhosOnline is a bit... inaccurate.    01:31, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Great, I was wondering how to do that. F.＜話して～！！＞ 15:40, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Okay. But it'll take a while, seeing as it's freakishly long, and that it isn't really fantasy. I'll try anyway though. F.＜話して～！！＞ 02:39, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Nor is it for the light of eyeball. F.＜話して～！！＞ 02:16, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I love Jolin freakishly [Yi Ge Ren/Te Wu J, ftw]. And as for Harbinger... sorry, I forgot about it, I'll get right on it. But I have been meaning to ask about something. Since we are switching to the Sapphire skin, don't you think we should get a logo that stretches across that gray box that says "Novelas" [like the Central Wikia or Cloverfield Wiki]? I think it would look better, personally... F.＜話して～！！＞ 04:40, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

It probably would look better for the sapphire skin to do that, but the problem is that it would ruin the appearance of the logo for Monobook skin users.    14:55, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sapphire

You can edit MediaWiki:Navlinks to change the top bar.

I tried the wikia page in widget widget and found that it kept vanishing after I left the page. Is that normal?

I'm not sure what you mean about this widget problem.

The top content widget takes a while to switch from 'most visited' to 'highest ratings', for example (and other switches).

This seems normal to me. How slow is it for you?

Please contact JSharp about changing the color of the edit-change-size numbers. He's an expert in CSS and will be able to do this for you.

Can you give me an example of where the navigation bars (expandable boxes) are not working please?

[edit] Ownership

I don't think that sort of template makes sense and probably only encourages users to get upset and leave when their articles are edited, whereas if they understand from the start that this can happen, they will hopefully realise the benefit of this sort of collaboration. Angela (talk) 08:33, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I think it's best if the community sorts this problem out through discussion. It doesn't seem like something that needs start to step in since the guidance is clearly laid out at w:ownership. Angela (talk) 01:30, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello. Can you give me a link to where these attacks are being made if you want me to look into it? As I suggested above, I think the community there needs to resolve these issues and trying to force the removal of pages is not likely to help the situation. Instead, policies need to be carefully developed to avoid ownership of pages, but that is best done by the people working on that wiki. Angela (talk) 03:25, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi. One of the gaming helpers is going to look into the problem. Angela (talk) 04:07, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Youzhong, I'm the helper Angela mentioned.

Thanks for trying to help the Runescape Fan Fic becoming a more open community. Unfortunately, a brunt approach is more likely to cause negative lashbacks than getting the people to accept the ideal. Remember, the community ultimately owns the wiki, not Wikia, and if the community as a whole decides to allow certain pages be only editable by the original author, then the owner has spoken. You'd need to get the owner to change its collective mind, instead of forcing them to comply with your "demands" (from their perspective). I would sugges that:

• instead of shoving a good practice down their throat and causing angry lashbacks + cussing from the community, share with them examples of the most successful collaborative fiction here on Novelas, so they see how it can work out.
• point out to them that collaborative fiction writing would make them special, whereas individually-owned fiction is hardly different from every other fanfiction website out there. Appeal to their pride so they might be interested in being unique.
• propose an addition to their ownership template to provide a link to a category containing all fan fiction that can be edited by anyone. This way other visitors interested in collaborative writing can find stuff they can edit instead of being put off by the page they couldn't.
• don't confuse angry cussing with personal attacks. At least of the three links you provided on Angela's talk page, I don't see anything that would construe as a personal attack against anybody, just generic angry cussing.
• keep in mind that to convince a community of people to completely change their ways can take time, and don't get frustrated if at first they fail to see the wisdom. Find ways to help the pieces that are open (including getting more people to edit those pieces), so that the open fiction naturally rise to be the best offered from that wiki.

Thanks again for your efforts to help, and hopefully the Runescape Fan Fiction community will be brainwashedconverted soon!

[edit] Who's online

This feature has to be temporarily removed because it was causing database errors. Angela (talk) 01:30, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion

Hi. Sorry to bother you, but can you delete the FRiENDS ~ LOVE CiRCLE pages? Seems I got a little over my head when I thought I could do romance. I'm writing a new story anyway [putting Sorcerers of Infinity on hold for a month or two] and to have Friends incomplete where it shouldn't be will be odd for me. Anyway, please delete the pages and their corresponding discussions. F.＜話して～！！＞ 07:53, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

No, I'm not saying I'm ashamed of it. I'm simply saying I don't feel up to writing it anymore. But don't worry, with the new semester in, I believe I'll find new things to add to it. I just may finish it before the summer, seeing as I have other stories to work on. So, never mind, don't delete it. F.＜話して～！！＞ 22:46, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] An apology

On the RFFWiki, I was stupid. Some of the things I did were absolutely horrible. You were only following what you beleved in, and I wasn't good enough to actually try and reckon with you. I hope that we have come to a truce on this matter, and that we will be a little more co-operative in the future.

ToaBionicle 15:57, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

First of all, I didn't intend any offence. We simply know that you have a bias against random works, so that random works which I find quite nice you find unfit. I was actually agreeing with you there, and overall I think our main conflicts of interest are at rest. Also, could we stay civil enough to not put up threats of blocking when there is no risk at hand?User:Serprex 20:33, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Imagine Wiki

Hello, Mr. Hou, I am Mightyerick, the guy from ImagineWiki. Thanks for your recommendations. It will be nice if you explain how do license work. Furthermore, I have some questions I think you can help me

• How to make toolbars look like the wikipedia ones.
• How to enable views/per/edits counting and most visited counting.

P.S: We are not 80+% of the community, we two are the community, :). But it is a barely new wiki, I think we will get some new users after some time.

Million Thanks.Mightyerick 13:49, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why did you deleted Atrapado en el tiempo?

I'm the person that started porting from a previous wiki and writting Atrapado en el tiempo interactive fiction in Novelas 2 years ago.

I know that I no longer write in this place but I would like to know the reason this novel was deleted for. I was just checking out this place (that has changed very much, for the better) and I was so shocked when I noticed it was deleted :S --Ferk^(talk!) 15:45, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

☏ Because it was moved to Quest wikia.    03:28, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Conworld

Okay. Why not? I'm game for it. By the way, I just created Gerodathian Language which right now is incomplete, if need be I suggest it could be moved there and your Conlang as well. F.＜話して～！！＞ 03:44, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm confused, why does it matter if it is GPL or not? Personally, I don't even think about what license I'm using with what. But whatever, the idea seems a bit fuzzy being that it is mainly about not using GPLUser:Serprex 04:18, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

"Eu"... y'know... as in like French 'feu'. Or something...I don't know! Go ask Serprex, he's the one who wrote the French story [despite my 98 in French]. And as for the particles, I thought it was something Chinese-related, seeing as I got the idea of particles from a Japanese grammar site [wa, ga, ni and the like]. Finally, why sarang? What's that mean? F.＜話して～！！＞ 04:50, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Huh? Could you explain it more simpler, because i hardly understand any of it. Iam only 14 after all. User:The evil dudeArnie 10:12, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

I have to ask to JuWki. You know, he is the founder. Anyways, it is a godd idea. Thanks a lot.Mightyerick 14:19, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Idea

Well... I was thinking of an inter-wikis project instead a new wiki... I prefer to submit articles (where I can easily manage/protect/delete them if necessary, and I have all my images and templates) on Imagine, using inter-wiki-links to ConWorld. I think JuWki will accept to use Creative Commons license for Imagine, so it will not be incompatible. I just love to create imaginary things, I will be glad to participate in your idea.

A suggestion... can we simplify our Imagination Hub?: SciFi, Fantasy and Magic can be moved out of the hub: They have not imaginative content but very real articles about things like Star Treks, Alien, Lord of the Rings, How to make magic tricks, etc. Just look at their content.Mightyerick 17:04, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ownership, revisited

Hi, I think we have a misunderstanding regarding certain stuff I wrote on your talkpage above. I was summarizing a few key points from w:Ownership, but I fear you may have taken the summary as the "full picture" and left out the context/details.

The community may decide a particular page should only be touched by the original author, but the content still is licensed under the GFDL, and anyone can still fork the article and do anything they want with it (on that wiki or elsewhere). The community can't really say "We want this article on our Wikia wiki to be CC BY-NC-ND" etc (at least from the context of what I previously wrote). Yes, the community is the owner of the wiki, but Wikia is a service provider for free license content. I recommend re-reading w:Ownership carefully, and let me know if you have any questions. -PanSola 21:34, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

I was mostly clarifying what w:Ownership and what I originally wrote on your talkpage (part of which you quoted) meant. Mostly, I do not want other people to get the impression that I personally said "content of wikis is owned by the community". I am not Wikia staff, and it is theoretically possible that Wikia might make special arrangements with specific communities on a case-by-case basis according to their needs. For example, while most Wikia wikis are GFDL, on a case-by-case basis there are some wikis using different licenses (no precedent of something as restrictive as ND yet, but does not completely rule out the possibility). -PanSola 22:52, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikia

Hello, Mr. Hou.

The Idea project is beginning to look hopeless. After reading PanSola post, it is evident we can not prevent plagiarism against our articles, even if we create a new wiki or if we create an great inter-wikis projects to adopt Creative Commons as a license (I though it was your plan when I saw you were posting to people from many different wikis), specially when Wikia General Policies says "All contributions to Wikia are released under the GNU Free Documentation License". Regardless of I do not think someone would like to steal my works (they have some political thinking that would annoy to the most people), if you want to push for a change on wikia general policies to avoid plaguiarism on the creative and imaginative wikis, you will have my sign and my posts to support you. I think wikia should be more a host for every possible kind of wikis (regardless of licenses, rules, contents) than a free license content provider.

It is my ideal wikia:

• You think your creative works must be licensed on GFDL... Go and create a wiki that lets it!
• You think your creative works must be licensed on Creative Commons... Go and create a wiki that lets it!
• You think your creative works must be stolen by imaginationless people... Go and create a wiki that lets it!Mightyerick 02:30, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Welcome back! Er... well, a sort of welcome, since you were watching us this whole time. I thought I had some allusions of you being there; I just never made a point about it, because I know you'd tell us when the time was right for you. I'm glad you know that I still contribute regularly [Sorcerers of Infinity is now 138 pages, and all of them are going here!]; also thank you for the rollback rights.

[edit] Too different

Too different

I guess the reason behind all this problem was our different philosophies

• I am extremely anti-block (as you see, even on severe cases like the blatant copies from Wikipedia of Ttablish, the ads of BigSliming, and the offensive parodies of my work by The Prank, I never menaced with blocking), you are more pro-block
• I am extremely anti-deletion of any article (I have redirected over 60 articles to four possibly abandoned wikis instead deleting them), you are more pro-deletion
• I prefer simple conversation, you prefer deep conservation
• I love crazy wiki practises. Do you remember on Imagination my 19-nonsensical-categories article (How to forget it :))? There come my support from creative summaries. You are more conservative on wiki practises.

I really think blocks are personal attacks, as people still can go to dynamic-IP-mode (at least me, sometimes I even use IP-modifier software) and continue doing everything they like, so the blocks are totally useless and offensive, unlike you who think blocks are warnings. How different approaches!!!

So when I saw "block" I thought "personal attack" while you saw "warning", and that is what I had to find for hidden reasons to explain your block (personal attack, for me).

The same the other things: When I saw "KISS" I thought "this guy is calling me stupid" and you saw "Keep It Simple". When I saw "JuWki is ignoring me", you just saw "He has different plans for this wiki".

We have too different thinking ways. I just wanted to explain I only have been defending myself as I know from what I think is an offense (warning, for you). It is just like a "Type mismatch" error, you and I are 100% incompatible, even more incompatible than you and Serprex.

Bye Bye and Good Luck on Fiction, Mr. Hou. I guess it will be a more appropiate good bye than the Ultimatum.

Jans

Umm... I just read the thing you left on my user talk page (I was out those last two days). I just want to say I did not mean I will block you from any of those wikis, I am not even admin of Fan-Fiction, ScratchPad or RPG. It was just a way to prevent future conflicts. I already told you I will not edit on your wikis, so I do not know why you posted you would block me from there.

If I am here right now is just to clearify all. It had to be my last post here (this time I am sure!!!!).

About your reputation: I already told you this all ended. I even cancelled the Ultimatum. I am not trying to destroy anything, this all ended, it is the last post about that topic.

About my admininship on Imagination: I already told you I do not care about that wiki anymore, I do not know why did you write "I would de-sysop you". It is the creation of JuWki, he has to handle it. I will not continue as his wage-less worker. Broukolia and I have new plans now. The last admin thingy I will do will be to delete all my content there. Right now, I am writing the needed scripts. It will be a +/- 340 articles by then. Back to the shadows forever.

I have not read the "Mightyerick case" thing again. I do not want to read your final answer. This all ended, anyway.

Bye Bye, and Good Luck (I hope it is the last one Bye Bye :)). Please do not hate me too much... I was just fighting for what I thought was right, just like you did.

It is a shame we both can not be right at the same time.

Jans (Please do not reply this message. It is the last one about that topic)

1. Yes, that is very technical, I guess. Stochastic is probabilistic.

2. Not only interested in Zorostrianism but in mythology in general. I like Egyptian and Middle East mithology.

3. I will get rid of some "it"s.

4. Also the -s

6. You're right.

Thanks for every comment, I will use them to modify my story.

NovaMaat's menace (Spanish) is my new story. I expect your useful comments. Are you some kind of professional writer? You seem so. And the other one is: The search for Kalid/1 (English).

[edit] Writing about Novelas / Fiction Wiki

Hi! I'm Jens aka yodahome, I study 'media literacy' (or 'media education') at the university of Magdeburg, Germany and I'm writing my bachelor thesis on Wikiprojects. I want to compare the (german) Wikipedia and this Wiki for the contrast of a fact-based Wiki versus a fiction-based wiki, as they should differ very much in structure, rules and of course community. I've been researching in both wikis for a while but I have difficulties getting background information for this project as there is not so much meta-information as there is on Wikipedia (of course, they have a whole meta-wiki adn a bunch of researchers). However, I'd like to know a bit about the history of the project, how many people actively participate and what the inital idea was in creating this project. As a -quite active- member of administration I hoped you could help by providing me with the information or simply someone else I can ask for it. If it's ok with you (=the admin staff) I'd like to post some questions to the forum for all to read (and probably anwer). You can reach me via Userpage or email me to yodahome (at) gmail.com . Thanks in advance. --Yodahome 12:52, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Conworld Brom created

I created the Conworld I told you about, here. If it is so bad that it gets deleted I will just move to ConWorlds Wiki. I wanted to test it with the masters first. Check it out when you have the time. It is not so big now, but read the main article: Brom, if you like. Davichito 03:07, 13 April 2008 (UTC).

[edit] Brom Rules were not meant to be for real users

The Brom Rules were written by Brom Heirs Inc. Authors can do whatever they want. Maybe I did not explain myself. I would sign the article with Brom Heirs Inc. You are right, users could think I am bothering them with this thing of the reviewing. Brom Heirs does it because they charge a fee for the service. That would be against free content and the spirit of a wiki, anyway. I will explain it better.

And the point is that Lost in Time is not finished. I was writing it on the upload box, sorry.

[edit] Templates are cool

I have used 2 templates. They are cool. They save from pasting like maniac. And I have delete some categories. You are right. I was categorizing every article. Thanks for the advice. Davichito 02:41, 14 April 2008 (UTC).

Thanks for saying hello, and I'll try to look into Lorica and see if I can find something to help with, but right now I'm just working on Netopyrus, since I said I would back in March 2007, oh, wow. I thought it was like forever ago, but I mean, that was like barely a year now. Ohwell... So, hi, it's nice to be back.

For my edits on Netopyrus, I was originally planning on just "disaffecting" stuff, like making stuff try to be part of a larger picture, rather then have each group of articles try to have it's own epic story portrayed in them (since articles like Netopyrus should really just say that there's a kingdom called Netopyrus and maybe a short history). Then people can work on creating epic tales without worrying about the already existant ones like the one Netopyrus had before. But I think I've gone and invented another epic story, but I don't know, I'm gonna finish doing what I'm doing and then see if what I added looks wrong, if it does we can always just fix Netopyrus again (to get rid of my story). But I think it would be best to have opennings for people to use to integrate stories into N, since right now it's pretty tough to find somewhere, as most of the articles seem like they were one persons pet project that they made and seem disconnected from the larger world, I mean, if we could just say a character came from anywhere and were able freely to use anything form the bestiary, we could really create certain kinds of stories pretty easily.

So, hi. It was weird coming back at first, with the new site design and everything--Modred. (talk) 03:29, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

I was reading some Spanish stories, in order to see what could be accomplished with my language. But I found nothing worth the time I spent doing that. And I think you agree with me, judging for the low grades you rated their works. We need quality works in Spanish on this site. Davichito... 01:03, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Right

You are right. Too much <font color=>s. David 01:42, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

I never rate, just random comments here and fro. I just only double-speak and double-think, if you get what I mean... George Orwell. 22:30, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About schizophrenia

No, it is not schizophrenia. It is called multiple personality disorder. And, thanks to God, my doctor did not find it. Because my doctor does not exist. It is another of my inventions. Keep in mind that EVERYTHING I write here is fiction, as the wiki name says. And as I think everybody does. Just elucubrations of our minds. David 22:47, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Well according to that third last sentence, "EVERYTHING I write here is fiction, as the wiki name says" is also a fiction. (Lol)    23:26, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

OK. Then how would you explain this sentence: "This is not a sentence" ? David 02:19, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

It's a sentence fragment that is telling the truth because it's lacking ending punctuation.    03:03, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry. I will create the page as Brom/User:MaatRules

MaatRules is a fictional character. I will include it into the Brom Conworld. You are right. I have created him as Brom/User:MaatRules David 01:40, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Micmac99

I saw Micmac99 is a prolific user, with 3 gold ribbons. But I have searched this wiki and I only find 2 works. Strange, isn't it? Or maybe he has helped to maintain the site... David 01:46, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] An idea!

I suggest that there should be a Spanish Featured Article. That could motivate Spanish users. Also, as there are not many stories, it would not be hard to choose one. David 03:29, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A suggestion about Rate templates

Rate templates should not have the first star. It adds one more point to what we have given. Zero is zero, no stars at all. David 03:52, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

It's called grade inflation, and it's a pity. I think it may have been Serprex or Nonimportant who might have been a bit unhappy with back when I had it 0=0 rather than 0=1. Which, would cause all math to fall apart if it were true.

Cheers,    04:06, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A greeting and a question

Hi Yunzhong Hou,

I'm from the RuneScape Fan Fiction wiki (which you may have visited); but I was thinking of joining this wiki too. However, before I join, I would like to ask a question - would you allow Fan Fictions on this wiki, say, ones of a computer game called Homeworld? (For info, visit "Encyclopedia Hiigara") If so, please tell me via my RuneScape Fan Fiction user talk, and hopefully I will join!

The link is [1].

[edit] Good job deleting odd stories

It is nice to make some cleaning here. Thanks for deleting nonsense stories. That makes this site have more quality. David 16:38, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!    16:47, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Poll and question

I already voted, nice poll. It includes everything. A question, does not have anything to do with the poll: Who is the author of VirileMail? I saw it is AmishTrasher but he does not even have a page. Jwshmidt claims he is. Who is really? I want to encourage him to finish that very good story. David 17:01, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh okay then. Sorry, I wasn't paying much attention. F.＜話して～！！＞ 15:28, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Number

How do I know the number of my nonsense contributions? I see the whole list, but I am lazy to count them all. David ☺03:31, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The new layout is cool

I like it. I was missing the left menu seen on most wikias. The logo is cool too. The menu is better than those links, as before. Congratulations.

Thanks!    17:40, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Languages menu

Do you never sleep? Haha, just kidding. I wanted to know how do I use that Languages list on the left. Some en:whatever, es:loquesea or something? I have The Last Day in English, French and German and I want to know how to link them. Also, with Interview with a psychoanalist/1 and its Spanish version. Osirius 17:52, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Greetings Davichito,

I sleep... sometimes too much for my liking.

You can't use the languages toolbar. It's not programmed in to disappear in situations when a site has no similar ones in other languages.

Cheers,    18:37, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Monaco

Okay, I tried it out and so far it looks good. But I have a couple questions.

• • I think the background banner should just be the image, and not the next "Novelas" there either. It interrupts the bright flow there.

• • Why is there a random space to the far right of any page? There's the whole sidebars, the article, and then gray space.

--F.＜話して～！！＞ 18:12, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Greetings Fythring,

I don't know how to make the "fiction" image go away without causing users who are running Monobook or Quartz to be like "where's the logo?". If you can figure out a way, I guess go ahead, but then we'd be missing out on text stating what wiki this is.

I don't see the random space, and I'm using Firefox. If you mean that 7-pixel strip, I guess it's just the layout and I don't know what to do to get rid of it.

Cheers,    18:37, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Would it be possible to design the images to work together, with or without?User:Serprex 18:47, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Greetings Serprex,

What do you mean? Take a look at Wookieepedia's Monaco.css; they have an image (of the walkers) superimposed on a terrain picture, and on top of all that they have the logo. It's not possible to apply a filter effect between any two images unless you're doing it with a program such as Photoshop. You can try working the images yourself if you want to.

Cheers,    19:00, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm thinking more if you made the smaller imposed image a cutout of the image it goes over. The larger image would look seamless and if the smaller image had the focal point, it would still look all right. That being said, I like it the way it isUser:Serprex 19:04, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Look at my changes to Atrapado en el tiempo in Quest

Check http://quest.wikia.com/wiki/Atrapado_en_el_tiempo and tell me your comments. I made a funny story, a Matrix parody. Those quests are better than Fiction! Just kidding... David 23:18, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nah, I don't like quests

The only good quest is Lorica and the mazes. The rest is stupidity, IMHO. Overall, the Spanish versions, like Atrapado itself and those...

[edit] At last! I am in Erana

I got to:

Yay! I've completed the mission. And I'm in Entrana. Contragulations!

After some trouble with the x in slot 4 until I found I have to come back first then put the x (I was putting it on the same page). I liked it a lot. It requires some thinking, not like some Spanish things I saw there, hehe. I will collaborate, maybe I will create one myself, with strange questions, like the goddess of truth for the Egyptians, the name of the writer of Foundation, the name of the astronomer that wrote Cosmos, something like that. I had always wanted to create a videogame of questions. It is easier to do it on Interactive Fiction than to program it all! David 00:40, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Greetings Davichito,

Heh, it's not hard to program such a game at all... It's one of the simpler games to make (after tic tac toe). Have you played VectorTD (online)? I made my own version of VectorTD with totally different towers (+effects), using similar graphics, and with making the code from scratch, and the whole thing works.

Cheers,    01:31, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

In which language? I don't like advertising but as we speak about this... I made a game of Cyber Parques, a board game similar to Parcheesi. It is here: http://go.to/parques. I have also made some Tetris and word games. And you are right, a game of questions and answers is not so hard. Just to get the click, scramble the questions, some music, and tada! Check my site if you wish. I program in Java and C++. Which language did you use for VectorTD? I don't know the game, I will check... David 02:02, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Greetings Davichito,

I made it using pure Java with the compiler Eclipse (Ambient). VectorTD is an easy find via Google; it's courtesy Candystand.

Cheers,    02:24, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Check my quest, if you have not done yet, http://quest.wikia.com/wiki/Maat, Egyptian knowledge required, though very basic. David 02:58, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Oh my god, you killed me

You killed me and my Ba, that Davichito. He was the one who had the idea. Oh. I will curse you in the name of Seth. Hehehe. Magic is worst than bullets. Even Neo can stop bullets. Can he stop spells? I guess no... Now, search a beast in your Lorica bestiary that can reflect spells, hehe, I guess it does not exist yet. And how do I do this being dead? From the Egyptian Duat, of course!David Osirius 03:13, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tell me...

Tell me your opinion about Maat Quest, if you have the time... David 16:44, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sleepy man!

11 hours sleeping? Sorry about that, hehe. Maat quest has 33 pages now and Level 2 complete. David 18:26, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

I'll just ignore that.    19:14, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] I made an easier quest

The quest is there at Quest Wikia. The name is Thot. It is easier and I put some of your suggestions: a backstory and questions about the same backstory.

[edit] Hahaha, I listened to Nonimportant

Nonimportant told me some suggestions about Thot Quest: http://quest.wikia.com/wiki/Thot. Check them. Tell me if you can get to paradise and to a beautiful lady. David 02:30, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Maat is bigger now

Maat quest is 91 pages now... Some header should be modified, IMHO... David 02:56, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 438 pages in Lorica?

Lots of pages. I saw Lorica is a nice conworld, it has a lot of pages of great quality. I like it. I think something is missing, though... I saw no stories. I saw some history and philosophy but no works. I understand, in my humble opinion that conworlds should have action, besides the descriptions. A conworld is a live world, not a static one, I think. I suggest you write some stories, putting Lorica beasts to fight, maybe one of their species want to take the government of the whole world. Or wars, like in our world. What do you think about that? Or maybe I don't understand what a conworld is, I have made Brom with 3 stories so far, because I think that is the main goal of a conworld, but I am new here, maybe I am mistaken. Congratulations for your efforts there, it is quite a job to have written all those pages, by yourself alone? Wow! David 15:29, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

My tongue continues:

Ahaha, I was wondering if you ever get stressed and change the picture of stress. And due to my fault. Hehehe

No! I put a devil there but I am not so bad. I just wondered, would this stress image change someday? And it did. Davichito 22:43, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Peace

Stretch my hand...

Go with peace and pray to the Lord for our salvation. Before he comes to judge us. David 22:53, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

And the comment about religion is for...?    23:01, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I just like religion... David 23:05, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Well! That was obvious... :) I'm relieved to see you didn't get scared away.    23:09, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A philosophical question

Now that there is peace between us:

Do you ever think why you write? I do it all the time. Sometimes, when I am depressed, I think that writing is nonsense. Think about that: you write some stories, some people say "oh, cool" or "oh, not too cool" and what is next? Nothing. Writing is null. No reason at all, only to please our emotional mind... I write only to myself, I like comments but I don't expect them. Also, I don't write for people to read, I only write because I like to write. And sometimes I say: "Go to hell, damn stories. You are of no use here. You make me spend time I could spend by learning French or German. Or reading about Egypt, Science Fiction, Science or whatever".

I just want to know what your opinion is. So,

• Why do you write?
• Do you think to write is nonsense? Why not?
• Do you plan to publish in real life? Have you published?
• Have you won any Literature Contest?
• Don't you ever get tired of Wiking here?
• Do you ever do anything besides writing here? Don't answer to this, I know the answer is no.

Just a useless poll, hehe. I want to know what other writers think. But if you are in a sad mood like me, don't answer them...

David 01:18, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Greetings Davichito,

1. I write because I find myself happy when I do so. When I write I wonder how others will respond to it, and derive vicarious enjoyment from doing so.

2. To write is not nonsense, because I have read others' work and I don't think theirs to be nonsense either.

3. I certainly do plan... but my planning hasn't really started since my main series is on indefinite pause. I've not published yet, unless you consider on the internet.

4. I once won an honorary mention for the first work I ever made (which is now so bad I don't even want to put it here). After that I've never submitted another work to a contest.

5. I do. When that happens I take a break.

6. If you even saw my user page you'd see that the answer is a definite yes.

Cheers,    02:20, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Comments:

3. You should really publish. You are the best non-professional writer I have read. The second is Nonimportant. You could make some money selling stories like HMP, I liked it a lot. And maybe you could win another prize. Your stories are superb (and your comments have helped me a lot, by the way). And you should put your first story. I put my first two: Edad Media en Nikon and Fin del mundo. I am not ashamed.

4. I won two contests: I was second on one contest in my neighbourhood and in second place in Latin American Science Fiction organized by www.cientec.or.cr from Costa Rica. The prize is only publication and they will send it to me. I am happy because of that. I won with Sueños Lúcidos, a novel of 90 pages, but here I have only uploaded a few pages (nobody has commented it, so I await for it to upload more).

5. You are right, maybe I am tired now...

6. Oh, economics, cool! It must be very hard. I program software. Did you check my page, http://go.to/parques? My first Windows program, a board game, can be downloaded from there.

It's May. Isn't it time to change the Featured Articles template? IMHO David 16:51, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Is there an easy way to know how many articles I have created? Instead of watching new pages and counting my articles...

Thanks, and don't get stressed but... what about May Featured Articles? I am happy to see mine on 3rd place so... David 17:06, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

What about it?    17:21, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Go to chat

Go to chat, if you want to hear some comments about HMP. OK, as you are not there, the comments are that you should complete the story, and maybe then I will collaborate to it, if you wish... David 18:12, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikistyle question

I own Parques Wikia and I want to know how to change the wikistyle. Something about Monaco or .css but I don't know exactly the name of the file to upload/change. Can you help? David 19:37, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Check Parques Shout Box for more questions, if you want. David 20:11, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks. And a question

Thanks, I did it and I changed the Fiction pictures, changing the link to my background. But I have updated the browser and even used another and the same picture. It must be something on wikia.com, no? David 20:56, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sad

It is sad that we are only 5 active users. I thought we were more. So, only 5 at least would read our works. Nah. And Wikias like Starcraft and other gaming wikias have tons of users... People just don't like literature very much. Even Literature Wikia has only 10 users or so. David 21:54, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Because the literature wikia is information on Literature. And we're actual literature, therefore we win. F.＜話して～！！＞ 21:59, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

There are 3 active users on Starcraft wikia, and before the Starcraft II announcements it was more or less just PsiSeveredHead. Besides, literature-writing just isn't conducive to the GFDL (which I've been pushing to switch to CC-by-sa-nc for a long while now), much less getting lots of edits.

Cheers,    22:13, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, not Starcraft then, but check most gaming wikias, they are huge. And that nonsense of Uncyclopedia is the biggest on Wikia.com! Unbelievable! It is a joke as that Wiki is, IMHO. David 22:42, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Don't you dare badmouth Uncyclopedia and it's pile of awesome nonsense (at least the Portuguese one is. The one in English is probably just silly). I don't edit there but that's my second favourite source for researches. --Nonimportant 01:54, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Awesome nonsense? That sounds to double-speak to me.

Excerpt from Winston's Diary

Haha. The Spanish one was the one I read. A complete mess. Only a few articles are good. Though, some articles like the ones about Lacan and Freud are good, they contain useful information between the jokes. But others are just junk humor, if that can be called humor.

[edit] Bot

Hiya Yunzhong,

I was wondering if you and the community here have any objections to my bot receiving a bot flag (this just hides it's edits from recent changes). It's been running for some time now, but recently I noticed when I do run it, it floods the RC. :P (If there's somewhere more appropriate to ask, please point me in that direction. :))

Another thing - I noticed you guys here have a lot of broken redirects - more than a hundred in fact! If you like, I can help out with this too - I have another bot account (w:User:MantiBot II) which I use for this sort of thing - it's actually just finished up a similar task on Scratchpad.

Anyway, I'd love to hear from you to see what you think about all of this. I hope I can be of help here to you guys! :)

Best regards,

Why striking? You could talk to your other puppets and I can't vote with mine? It is not a double-vote, either. And you invited me to vote... Moreover, Freud2008 does not make anything here, he writes at Neurosci.

Strike it again, I don't care. I only come here to write in VirileMail, and if the next one is a ban, go ahead...

David 17:21, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Dav, you really overreact. That being said, Freud2008 was not being used to vote above 1 on anything, so I see no harm there. That being said, I see no purpose for using multiple accounts. And with that being said, have a good dayUser:Serprex 19:16, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Greatings,

OK. Then, if you see no harm, why the strike? And I voted 0.7 = 7 / 10, not above 1

Second: My use for multiple accounts was for Freud writing at Neurosci and Gamedev. I only edited here with it by mistake. I would not have done anything here with that account if YZH had not invited me to vote.

Third: Check that it was 0.7, not > 1. http://fiction.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum%3AJune_2008&diff=49616&oldid=49614

Fourth: Someone should change the template at the top. It shows May 2008 still.

I sold my story La amenaza de NovaMaat to an editor. Thus, he requires me that it be unpublished on the Internet. So, I ask you to delete all the chapters. I am just lazy to put delete in all of them, so please delete the files in the entire category. I hope you do. David 20:47, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Hi, it is glad to have you back undoing my job. Thanks for replacing the main page, I knew you would do that as soon as you come back. That is a nice way to welcome collaborations. I know that there are no reasons for your actions, so do not even reply. If you just don't like templates, could have pasted the content first. And if you see, it was not all my modifications, there was a better logo by JWSchmidth, without white space. But you can do what you want and nobody will judge you, you are the bureaucrat.

P.S.: An idea. You should protect the main page, that way you can be happy. David 01:02, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Is there a better way to move pages between wikicities?

Hi! It seems when you moved Atrapado en el tiempo to [Quest], you didn't check every page. I've edited many empty pages from Quest, filling many with previous (usually deleted) versions from Fiction. Doing things this way, history and authorship are lost (they remain here in Fiction). Is there a better way to move pages from a wikiciy to another one?

There's an import function, but I've never bothered using it.    14:04, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

OK, thanks. I'll continue doing it manually.

Regarding my return here, I was lured by serprex many months ago. But I didn't really take this seriously until I received the message from Davichito.

I left this place due lack of inspiration, and, as you can see, I'm just taking up maintenance tasks, such as the moving of Atrapado en el tiempo. Maybe I disappear again after that... --Jmoysae 14:50, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

I agree. Very short stories could be included in Category:Complete the Stories; they should not be deleted, they are fiction, even if short. And if they are incomplete, someone could expand it. That is the philosophy behind Complete the Stories. So, the next time you find an incomplete very short story, please do not delete it, you can place it in that category...

Please undelete Help:Wikistory. "outdated" is a meaningless deletion comment. You should only be deleting vandalism. --JWSchmidt 02:40, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for undeleting Help:Wikistory, clearly a page that never should have been deleted. You now need to undelete the page or pages that show the authors of the content of that page. Your illegal practice of moving GFDL-licensed content without keeping the author history makes it very difficult to figure out who the original authors were. I suggest you apply maximum effort to sorting out your copyright violations. WikiStory:Styles is an obvious place to start; why has it not been undeleted? Do you really want me to report your illegal mismanagement of this wikia to Angela? --JWSchmidt 16:28, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Ever noticed that "anything you contribute here may be modified, copied, or deleted"?

The Price of Freedom has negligible content. Serprex and I agree on this point. I suggest that before you request its restoration you look at its deletion log.

   17:30, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Angela will be very interested to see that you do not understand the GFDL; you cannot copy the contents of this wiki without maintaining the author information. How can you tell me to look at the deletion log when I have already quoted it to you on this page? This is a wiki, people can start pages with little content and other people can add more content. You clearly do not know what you are doing. --JWSchmidt 17:40, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Look, I don't want to get into an argument with you, but that doesn't mean I'll just bend over for you. If you have requests, please say it nicely.

Look at The Price of Freedom before it was deleted:

1. The only thing there is a cover template. Clearly it is non-substantial. Policy here is that non-substantial works are to be deleted. This is NOT Wikipedia.
2. Look at the date. It's been fifteen months since the author was last here. And ever since, no one has worked on it.
3. Serprex also agrees it should be deleted.

QED.

   17:48, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

"Policy here is that non-substantial works are to be deleted" <-- Please provide me with links to all policies. I still want The Price of Freedom to be undeleted so that it can be used as a starting point for collaboration (from Science Fiction). --JWSchmidt 01:12, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

I did not want to talk here, but YZH, where do you get those policies? Invented by you or by the five admins? or just invented to reply JWSchmidt? I think you have several of these policies:

• 1. The one you said
• 2. Changes I don't like, changes I revert
• 3. Stories I don't like, stories I delete (see all JWSchmidt's stories you have deleted

Is that the policy?

David 01:17, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

If you're not here for constructive discussion, don't discuss. If you want to, you can do your own research for how we got to these policies. These policies have histories far longer than you have been here. But don't just spend your time arguing with me. Vitriol gets people banned.    02:45, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

I take you refusal to provide a link to the policy as admission that such a policy does not exist. Rather than threaten participants who ask questions with bans, you should be trying to support the community here. --JWSchmidt 03:25, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

While some deletions may not of been in call, I'll just note that a story which only has the text "Still being written..." isn't really anything to start collaboration withUser:Serprex 02:41, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Serprex, for affirming my point. :)    02:45, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

The problem is that neither of you know how to run a wiki. You do not look to see what other pages link to pages that you delete. You do not respect the wishes of people who make and use the pages you delete. The Price of Freedom has been and continues to be in use at Science Fiction, as I have already explained. You should quickly undelete any non-vandalism page when someone tells you that they are using the page. If you are too lazy to do your job then make me a sysop here and I will do it myself. --JWSchmidt 03:25, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

2008-02-01T16:06:04 Yunzhong Hou (Talk | contribs) deleted "Story Ideas" ‎ (not useful)

Please undelete Story Ideas. I find it absurd that any participant's ideas for stories would be deleted with the comment "not useful". You should only be deleting obvious vandalism. --JWSchmidt 03:25, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] how to run a wiki

"How many edits do you have?" <-- numbers of edits show nothing about an individual's suitability for running a wiki.

"Who says I have to respect the wishes of people?" <-- Why don't you put that on the main page? "This wiki owned by Yunzhong Hou and I do not have to respect the wishes of people". Ya, that's the way to run a wiki. You will attract many collaborators.

"If it's in use there would be contributions by now. You have no idea what's going on." <-- What is wrong with having "starter pages"? This was the basis for early success at this wiki. New participants could arrive and jump in to helping with a project that someone else had started. You have systematically destroyed and hidden such opportunities for collaboration that participants here created. "The Price of Freedom" was not started by me, but I respect it as a story idea from a participant of this wiki. Of course, you do not have to respect other participants. You think you own this wiki and can destroy the work of others. You should be supporting the honest efforts of other participants who try to build collaborations.

"It's been unused for fifteen months now" <-- Is there a time limit? The page where it is used was at one time linked to from the Main Page. You destroyed all such links, making it impossible for people to find the description of the proposed "The Price of Freedom" collaboration project. It might be 5 years before someone continues a project. So what? This is a wiki. There is no time limit.

"Don't tell me what I should do. And no thanks. You argue with me, you won't get any favors from me." <-- When you asked to be sysop here I asked you questions that demonstrated your ignorance of how to run a wiki. You are still ignorant. I will tell you what to do when you fail to do your job. It is your job to serve the community here not be a tyrant who drives away honest contributors. --JWSchmidt 14:35, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Whatever. You're not understanding what I'm posting. I'm not going to argue with you any more. It's getting nowhere. This wiki is going to run the way us admins think it should be run. I'm also going to impose a one-day timeout for arguers from now on (unless the admins don't find this a good policy). Why? Just because... Life isn't fair.    14:47, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

"This wiki is going to run the way us admins think it should be run" <-- that is against the rules of Wikia. This wiki will be run according to the wishes of the entire community. Admins have NO special say in how a wiki is run. If you do not agree, I will report you to Wikia and have your adminship removed today. --JWSchmidt 16:54, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] OneShots

"a clean, easy-to-understand listing of oneShots made"

My interests are almost entirely in the area of Science Fiction. There is a link from Science Fiction to The Price of Freedom. If you undelete The Price of Freedom I will clean up that page and put it in any category you like. I would prefer something like Category:Ideas for science fiction stories, but I really do not care what the category is called. I will help with any master plan for a "listing of oneShots", but in my view, short wiki pages should not be treated any differently than are long wiki pages, in particular they should not be deleted just because they are short. Deleting short pages is totally against the wiki way. --JWSchmidt 16:51, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

>This wiki is going to run the way us admins think it should be run. YZH, please go to central wikia and learn about adminship. As I know you won't do it, I will paste you a link. Admins are not god neither kings, they just have some privileges, but the community of users are the owners of wikias. David 15:26, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, it's about time I did something new. F.＜話して～！！＞ 23:41, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Proxima Centauri and the Aliens of Porrila

I’ve been asked to use shorter titles. Is there a problem? I started with shorter titles. Serprex lengthened them. What should I do? Proxima Centauri 19:18, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

The titles don't matter for the moment. I don't think there's much point in making the story accessible till its finished. Proxima Centauri 17:59, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey I like your additions to my Eragon spoof! This is going to be a good one, I can tell! Millenian 16:41, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Administrators

I've read Forum:Before You Request for Adminship. What does being an administrator involve here? I'm already an admin at Liberapedia and Atheism Wiki Proxima Centauri 17:40, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

We need a burocrat to invest JWSchmidt with adminship and other users who may want to nominate as such. Besides, I want my administrator privileges to be removed, too. If you don't plan to go back, then say that to the community and we nominate a new burocrat. I would vote for Serprex. --David - talk 18:52, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Hi. I was wondering if you would rate/comment my poem Lady Liberty? I would really appreciate it.--God'sGirl94 18:58, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Welcome back. Thanks for promoting JWSchmidt to sysop and Proxima to rollback. --Acey • gossip. 14:54, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] HELP!!!

I need help! I can't get my new poem, The Thunder Rolleth In right! The indents won't work right! I don't know if it's me or if my computer is screwing up, but I need help! Please?--God'sGirl94 17:55, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm waiting to archive my poem, Fairest Emily until I learn how to do it right. Thanks a big bunch!!--God'sGirl94 18:16, 10 March 2009 (UTC) P.S. Are you an admin here?--God'sGirl94 18:16, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

I am a bit curious. Why did you quit this wikia? It seems you quit at a time of peace so I don't find any reasons at talk pages or something. --Acey • gossip. 22:57, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Can you delete me?

Hey, I only used this site for a little while a year or two ago. Could you delete my user page, BROSQO, and The Tragedy of Malent? All my other stories have since been deleted, I guess. Thanks.

[edit] The Point of Featuring My Beloved Girlfriend Twice is...

The point of me featuring My Beloved Girlfriend twice is that, to me (or at least to me), that my story is a popular page in my mind and only in my mind. Ericthebrainiac 16:44, September 6, 2009 (UTC)

Besides, I just gave Serprex "what for" when I said to him that I wasn't going to take any insult of any way, shape or form from anyone on this wiki anymore. Ericthebrainiac 16:44, September 6, 2009 (UTC)

If you want my opinion, I think that Serprex is a troll himself, if you know what I mean. Ericthebrainiac 16:44, September 6, 2009 (UTC)

This is funny. I would like Eric to list the "insults" he has received. Only the trolling stuff and who knows if that's an insult. Looks more like a joke. --Davinci - talk 02:19, September 8, 2009 (UTC)
