@Feeds I could sell this guy something my father built.
For when I was younger.
 
I try to be more of an answer person, heh. ;)
 
heh, that's fair.
 
In part because any questions I have are normally already answered, but yeah.
 
once again #stackoverflow comes through. It's like having a giant hallway full of experts at work. @codinghorror

Okay @Gnome
this is your big chance
damn it you just left
:(
 
Is Gadgets the only SE 2.0 site that has been closed, or have there been others?
 
Artificial Intelligence?
Was that closed or simply pushed back to a previous stage?
 
Closed.
Those should be the only two though, I think.

@sjohnston If the numbers aren't improving then eventually they're going to dwindle
 
Come help out Writers.SE in The Overlook Hotel
2
 
@badp Putting in a call to help writers.se in writers.se's chat room seems like it won't help much
THe point is to get people that are ignoring the site to come help. Not folks that are already using it to bitch about how nobody is helping. :P
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz @sjohnston can move messages back if he so wishes

@Mana Hey, maybe we can find some actual user from the site.
I don't think Writers and Gamers overlap that much...
 
I didn't really intend to spam gaming trying to recruit, just general lamenting and asking if anyone had any brilliant advice
 
@sjohns to be honest asking questions is the best thing you can do
 
12:35 AM
@sjohnston you didn't ask spam, but I'm giving it to you :)
LIKE IT OR NOT grumble
 
but that's more long-term
for a short-term payoff...heck, I wish I knew.
 
@badp is Hardcore. About Chat. Being on-topic.
 
@sjohnston bringing the site's standards to chat, yo.
 
While I appreciate that, in general, sometimes the nice thing about chat is that it is less Hardcore than the site's standards
IMHO
 
eh, I tried to help really
you have owner on that channel, so you can move back if you want to

Posted by George Beech on January 15th, 2011

I am going to be doing a bit of DB maintenance tonight at 9PM Eastern. The sites will be down for about an hour while I do a couple of upgrades to our primary database hardware:

 Add 32 GB of RAM to the server to bring it up to 96GB of RAM

Run Firmware updates for the RAID card

Update the RAID Card Driver firmware

The Trilogy and SE sites will be down for about an hour while I do this work. If the outage is going to last longer than that I will update this post.

Also, Sorry for not posting this earlier i’ll try to get these notifications up sooner than an hour before work is scheduled to start in the future. …

A: Producers vs. Consumers - A Showstopper?

John SmithersI'm not sure, if your point is, that this site will not attract professional writers, or if you say everything is subjective on writing, so don't bother. Or something totally different. But let me refer to the comments of your example answer. justkt's answer is a good one. It demonstrates the "s...

Q: What is linuxexchange.org?

NailujI was searching for some linux stuff today, and I came over linuxexchange.org. It seems very much like it is trying to imitate a StackExchange site, but I couldn't find anything at all on the page that said it were related to SA in any way. Are they trying to copy/fake the StackExchange concept...

Q: Does Bood Mage and Battlemage specializations work well together?

VaccanoThe Battlemage has a spell that will take health from all nearby enemies and give it to the caster. But it costs mana to keep it running. The Blood Mage has one that will cause all spells to pull from health rather than mana. Do these work together well? Will it work to keep your health up i...

Q: Does being a Blood Mage make everyone hate you?

VaccanoBlood Mages are almost universally hated in Dragon Age Origins. Does choosing that specialization affect the story line? Will people hate me if I pick it?

Q: Is there any penalty for losing your UAV in Multiplayer Rush?

Mark RogersI love using the UAV in Bad Company 2 multiplayer Rush mode, it's great for taking out tanks or entrenched positions. Sometimes, I get a little risky and it gets shot down pretty quickly. I figure that it doesn't really hurt my team as long as I'm using it, because I'm not really dying and we d...

Q: Custom Mass Effect Shepard action figures?

eidylonOkay... so this isn't regarding gameplay as such, but it is related to Mass Effect. I was thinking earlier today, that given how you can customize your Shepard, the company who makes the ME action figures (or perhaps a secondary company) should provide a service where you can upload the appropri...

Q: How big is the World of Warcraft in real world geographic terms?

MartinLet's specify this question[a] a bit: I'm not interested in how big the continents or whole world are supposed to be, but rather in an approximation (or measurements) how big all the zones[b] combined are on all the continents together. That is, map size in km² / mi² / real world comparison w...

Q: A strategy for Nethack progress?

user2471I've been playing Nethack for years but don't get anywhere near the end for one reason or another. I'm experienced enough to not eat old corpses, wear cursed items or pick the wrong fight, but what I don't know is how quick to move down. I can empty Sokoban and all the Mines but I'm never powerfu...

that can be quite the chore

@badp Minecraft is a game designed for people who work obsessively on huge, detailed projects. Why should the songs be any different?
 
Damn you @sjohnston I was trying to go for the 11 minutes' ninja mono achievement for Audiosurf :P
oh well, at least I improved my score.
although I can hardly believe no one else ran the Magnetis solo track through Audiosurf
 
alas
 
which makes me wonder, does anyone of you have Audiosurf?
the friends' leaderboards are pointless with just me on them :P

@badp Clever room name.
 
@GnomeSlice I guess it's @sjohnston's

Q: What else should I be reading to make better sense of Cyclonopedia?

LessPop_MoreFizzI've been slowly working my way through Reza Negarastani's fantastic Cyclonopedia the past few weeks, and while I'm thoroughly enjoying it, I can't help but think there's substantial material that's going over my head. I know it's been pointed out to me that reading Deluze and Guattari's Thousan...

Q: Questions about the implementation of the stack exchange family

RosinanteJeff and friends don't owe anyone an explanation of how these sites are built.

If Jeff and friends choose to share their wisdom scars with others by revealing fact...

If this Hero's hero days run out, will he still be able t...

I hate it when I get conflicting answers.
I never know which one is right.

A: A strategy for Nethack progress?

I take DrukqsTo answer your question, yes. If you're having trouble in any RPG the solution is almost always to level up more or acquire superior gear. However if you don't know what your options are at certain points in the game it can be very relentless due to the pseudo-artificial difficulty of, simply put...
