We've had a few questions recently by new users which were well-formed questions that just weren't good matches for our main site. That's understandable, since the askers are often not familiar with how our site works, and we have some rules as to what sorts of questions are allowed that might be...
Yeah, that'd work. You'd just have to run the two sessions simultaneously, or, run them sequentially. You'd still have to space out the logged-in requests, though.
The harder part would be answers, if you wanted that data, too.
It's impossible to tell if an answer has been deleted unless you're 10k+.
Another way to do Excel -> CSV -> Oracle is using External Tables, first introduced in 9i. External tables let you query a flat file as if it's a table. Behind the scenes Oracle is still using SQL*Loader. There's a solid tutorial here:

I guess it's somewhat more than just writing a damn good answer. Finding the good question and getting the publicity that comes inherently from it is also incredibly important.
HN put 900 upvotes into it over 48 hours. It was pretty insane. Makes me wonder what would have happened if they picked up at the beginning when everyone else had it.
@Eric Yep. Finding the golden question is difficult. And they are getting rarer and rarer.
I know. I've tried. Back a few months ago I was going pretty much anything I could to repcap. But my +50 answer that was like my 8th answer on SO is still the best I've done. I just don't look in the right tags, or something.
Granted, I have a pretty good eye for them now. But unless it's in performance (or some other area that I'm strong at), I can't jump on it. And I usually try to pass it on to someone else I know.
Yeah, well it is pretty pathetic here in India, most universities don't even know what's going on in the outside world.
so I just learn things on my own.
I swear 99% of the "elite" professors in India don't even know about C++11 ... or actually even that there's a standard. For that matter, even about ISO.
One of the most irritating things is that textbooks often give oversimplified examples, which is good for understanding and all, but gives me a hard time to figure out why it is required.
I could never quite understand "delete" constructors. Everyone just explains the syntax, which basically just tells me that if I type this, the code would compile.
but not why I would want to write it in the first place.
@Eric TMNT is originally an American comic. It does have a 2-episode anime OVA, Mutant Turtles: Choujin Densetsu-hen. My viewpoint with this is the same as Powerpuff Girls or Parappa the Rapper, namely that we allow the anime, but the other versions are off-topic.
This is a particularly strange case though because the OVA is based on (and related to) the original cartoon series, so it's hard to separate the two. But I doubt we'd get many questions on Mutant Turtles: Choujin Densetsu-hen anyway so it's rather irrelevant.
@LoganM By the way, I was going through the chat history. I don't mind being #1 obviously :), but that really isn't my top priority at the moment, as in I don't really care about being #1.
For that reason, I decided to hold asking Naruto questions, since there was concern about it "hogging the limelight" and putting off users. Although if a Naruto question comes along, I do write a good answer. I may add those questions later when the site becomes a little less "lopsided".
Right now, I want to focus on "answer your own question" in [tag:fairy-tail], because it is immensely popular, but ve…
If been pondering about this one for a while and seen some of them pop up. How far are we allowed to go with questions that don't directly affect an anime but a more Regular like question about anime such as:
Will you ever "grow out" of anime? —
other example on site
I know questions like;
Wha...
@Mysticial I turn my computer off overnight these days, lol. Since it's in the same room as where I sleep, I like it nice and tranquil. (No fans, no screens on, no blinking "think" light, etc.)
@LoganM Ah, I see. I was less concerned about questions about it here and more about why there was a post about it in the G+ anime community. Good to know, though.
And now I disappear for half the day! Weeeeeee! :D
@moomoochoo SE has learned that hard way that recommendation questions almost always degrade into a non-constructive mess that requires heavy moderation to maintain. After all, this is a Q&A site with objective questions and answers, not a forum. If you're looking for a forum, then you are right, this is not the place. We're sorry to lose you. — Mysticial1 min ago
^^ That's the most I can do for that guy.
Oh well...
Interesting, re-oneboxing after editing the comment doesn't update the comment.
Basically, after reading through (again) the Theory of Moderation post, it got me thinking.
A lot of flags that reach moderators (as well as 10k users, but not enough users actually do something about it).
Let's have some data:
Do all these flags belong?
Now, a good (great) deal of those ca...
