Fair enough, curious if the content of the profile Q&A wise even exist any longer, or if that is gone too. I know Google changed Gmail policy and unused accounts get purged at that level if that has any relevance. @JourneymanGeek
naw
SE dosen't purge accounts
We want them to (sometimes) but they say its too 'expensive' in terms of resources
Seems odd to just disappear with so much content out there (and correlated rep), I'm sure the contributions are still useful to those looking for such topics. I'd be interested in seeing one of the answers and what it looks like now. I assume a greyed out account, etc.
Oh his answers are still there
you'll just see a userXXXXXXX
I don't know what the appropriate amount of disclosure here but - I really didn't realise/know he deleted his account till you asked
01:51
Oh.... good enough for me. Luv ya brother.... keep being cool and awesome!!

sometimes on a laptop i'm on, if I try to open too much, then windows start flashing and it goes mad and chrome crashes and then it's ok. Libre Writer also crashes. Winword is ok but sometimes even it doesn't have the resources to open stuff.
Does this look ok?
12:43
there's nothing too obviously wrong now

@barlop Is your CPU usage at 56% for a reason?
14:24
hmm maybe is some malware
I will locate unhackme.exe and put it in virustotal
virustotal says unhackme.exe is fine virustotal.com/gui/file/…
@JourneymanGeek from what I recall, if i'm recalling right, he had a disagreement with a moderator
uhhhhhh
@barlop if he did, I'd probably know about it
unless it was a very long time ago
it was a very long time ago he was only here for a very short while
iirc
I know his account was around for got a bit tho
could be
(I mean, I know exactly when it was deleted, but there's the whole I got noooo idea what's going on or what I can share thing)
14:29
the rate at which his rep increased was phenomenal
did he have a pic of a guitar in his profile pic?
and maybe some description to do with chess ?
I think so
I don't remember ._.
the guitar avas I remember was guitar shoe dave/dave and Terdon :D
it even got the attention of one of the two founders..
maybe got the attention of joel spolsky iirc.
I found his old (deleted) profile link via the blog
so yeah
if you can see his total rep and calculate based on the rate, you might see when he quit the site
I remember he posted an answer on one of my questions, and I commented critiquing his "answer", and gave him a downvote, and he corrected his answer and I removed the downvote and he wrote a relatively long comment to me on how grateful he was to me for removing the downvote!!!!

I thoguht I blocked that bot
i'm sure people have left this chat often 'cost that bot is so annoying
i've certainly left before and not come back in a while because that bot was so annoying
it's actually harming the site
@barlop You don't have it on your ignore list.
To ignore a user, click their name and select 'ignore this user (everywhere)'
thanks
I've had the bot on ignore for a while as it's annoying
I think I even got a notification from that thing..

Is that ignore option a new thing?
@barlop you mean ignoring users? No, it has existed since the start of the chat.
16:25
oh ok! thanks
people didn't know about the ignore/block option here chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/118?m=64518713#64518713
some people seem to credit you though @PetəíŕdtheWizard with greating the bot that annoys many regulars in the room!
@barlop heh, yeah, I did bad things with my bots earlier but this one isn't my bot :)
@RydwolfPrograms no, why?
Wait why was OakBot banned?
17:08
thank goodness, about time
causing lots of annoyance to so many regulars as that, is bad for the site.. I don't know why it was there for so long
not sure why you think it was banned.. (though I hope it is banend). But I still see it here

@barlop It's not banned, but you successfully put it on ignore now.
so what is petard talking about when he said "why was OakBot banned?" ?
If you think the bot is a menace to this room and the site and think think sufficient people agree with you, I suggest to take it to meta. With consensus, the bot can be taken offline again.
@barlop Ah.
The message was flagged.
The flag was validated.
This automatically suspends a user for 30 minutes.
ok thanks
17:24
If you think sufficient people would prefer the bot to be taken down, I think a meta question is in order.
Once that question is up, Michael as the owner of the bot and other veterans can figure it out amongst themselves.

@Michael I feel like the level of snark needs a little more tuning :D
Or maybe have oakie treated like a victorian schoolchild... forced to work in a poorhouse speak when spoken to
