:48036369 a good (removed) to you too :D

Hey @Pie

sry about that. ':)

no worries

ah yeah I noticed inputs but I wasn't sire how to fix that without breaking something else

just add it to the list, works fine

I also added the code to the chat domain, what a difference!

Ah yeah I did that too at first by accident

I found out I prefer Verdana :|

maybe I should give it an other try :)

Really? I find Open Sans much easier on the eyes

@PieBie you cna read removed messages, right? room owner and all? :S

nope

ah ok then that's a mod priv

oh yeah, I can, apparently I just didn't know how

I still confuse room owner privs with mod ones, just like rep prvs

I went to being a mod when I was around 6,000 rep and not a room owner :)

@Vincent wow, OK, I didn't know I could do that as a room owner. It even works retro-actively

ah so you can

yeah

awrite

had to look for the option, but it's there

it's under the 'history' link

found it now. for some reason I just assumed it would show on hover. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Then I won't be difficult about it: I don't want to sound dramatic and all, but I think I'm done with SE

the recent drama about the responsive themes and the, imho, very authoritarian and inflexible stance in communication SE has taken, was for me the straw that broke the camel's back

it would be a very sad day for this community if you hung up your coat

though I would understand why

I appreciate that sentiment a lot :)

but whenever I visit the site now, annoyance is the prevailing emotion

maybe you could just take a break? Disregard the site for a few months, come back when things have settled.

that is the other option I've been playing with. But I feel SE's stance and lackadaisical attitude towards their users isn't going to change in a few months.

And that is the thing that bugs me the most

probably not, but maybe you'll have a different perspective on it

tbh, I always regarded SE as a company

stop spouting such wisdom. can't you see I'm trying to have a tantrum here? :P :P :P

:D

@PieBie aren't they?

Of course they are.

So it was only a matter of time before money would become more important than community

I never expected anything from SE, and I still don't

My aim was always to help others and maybe learn something from that myself

And I'll keep trying to do that until such time I'm no longer interested, or it's made impossible

Hm. I guess I still have this image of SE from when I started participating, when they were still way more ideological or at least marketed themselves as such way more

I compare their current blundering (in my mind it's a marketing nightmare) to how other user-oriented companies their size communicate with their users / customers

and they come up so, so short in comparison

I'll admit that the whole new design roll-out was an absolute train wreck

But I just regard it as one of the things I have no control over

It happened, and there was nothing we could do about it

'sphere of influence' and 'sphere of concern', yes

that's why I haven't put more energy in this than I did

I have participated in dozens of online communities over the years. All of them either stopped working or died out. I learned to stop caring about what the companies behind them are doing and just enjoy them while it lasts.

I guess hiatus it is.

Thanks, @Pie

I hope you drop by chat once in a while. I'll see you around on Insta, Twitter and other platforms probably.

I most probably will. Procrastination is still a thing, you know :P

indeed it is. Anyway, gotta run, have a conference call in ten minutes -_-

@Vincent they are running out of money for the new owners

@joojaa clearly

Maybe we should make a (3rd party) chat for us?

Like Discord or Slack or Keybase.

Apologies for intruding, just need to get a message across

@Zoe I suggest just leaving it - he's not going to see reason

Good point. Still gonna mod-flag the user on the main site

Welcome @CalvT now you can never leave

@WELZ You'll have to keep up a steady stream of mentions then :P

Challenge accepted /

Best of luck old chap

Now watch me leave :P

@CalvT ping pong

I knew you'd return.

@WELZ unshorten.it is quite useful ;)

@CalvT cool thanks! Never knew about it.

@CalvT RUN!! IT'S A TRAP!!!
