Very true

2 left.

@Ginger make gingerbot commit :P
YOU FOOL! I HAVE 7 ALTERNATIVE ACCOUNTS!
that'd be voter fraud :p
love how the committers graph has an upper range of 250
@Ginger that's one per discord server I've spread the word on
@lyxal nah, they're all listed in my bio
doesn't change the count of discord servers
huh
12:12
you said "I HAVE 7 ALTERNATIVE ACCOUNTS!", I said "that's one per discord server I've spread the word on"
I've been busy :p
relatedly, I just finished bingeing the Snapcube Sonic dubs
13:00
1 more
AAAAAAAAAA
Since Snowpaw's sentient, I think they count as a person
holy shit
200
OH MY GOD
WE DID IT BOIS
9
happy dance time!
alright, so: now what
guess we can close this room
now we wait
more waiting?!
I hate waiting, it always takes forever
13:15

This proposal has reached 100% commitment. We are preparing for its launch and expect to create it soon.
I love how that message implies that there's a crack team of SE devs currently assembling the site in real-time
when I'm sure in reality all we did was get an email sent to the head of site management or whatever
...
I'll be honest, I expected more confetti
oh but you know what this means: Rydwolf might have a shot at being pro-tem mod
actually I might have a shot at being pro-tem mod
which would be funny as hell
don't forget me
I have one too :p
Oh hi, only just learned this room exists
yup
once the site gets created we're going to move over to there
but that has to actually happen first
@lyxal quick, make a Reddit post!
and all that other stuff!
now is a time for celebration
for what? There's no site link to link to
can't post about nothing ;p
13:20
yeah you can, I do it all the time
I have higher standards of quality
nice, chat's back
Who are going to be the pro tempore moderators?
@mousetail IIRC they're auto-selected after a few weeks in beta
that's to be decided via election
13:24
No mods for the first few weeks then?
seems like it

Q: Experimenting with Pro Tempore elections

Jon EricsonLast spring, I ran an election on Parenting for a new moderator pro tempore. It went pretty well, so this fall we are going to extend the program to sites that have been in "beta" for years. Here's how it works: We're reaching out to moderator teams to see if they would be interested in partici...

i guess keep an eye out on y'all's emails
yay
wait, will it be an email or a notification? I hope I configured my email correctly lol
there's your confetti
13:32
knowing A51 it'll get sent to the wrong address and someone at SE'll have to screw with databases to get it fixed
3
@lyxal yay
tell Olive that Ginger says "yay"
ask Olive what the f are you doing with your poor cat what the hell man that is hella stupid dude look at how sad it is
14:33
huh, 201 committers
15:01
did any of yall know about this?
Nike dattani my man working hard
15:52
I'm somehow referred by Nike Dattani but I don't understand how
 
1 hour later…
17:09
NO WAY
YES WAY
AAAHHHHH
WHAT TIME DID IT HAPPEN
TELL ME EVERYTHING
13:09:12 (UTC I think)
lyxal saw it first and posted a screenshot
and then there was general freaking out
So there's no beta yet, phew
yeah
17:10
I can be there for tha---wait I can't
I gotta go take a mock AP exam for the next 3 hours lol
presumably someone at SE headquarters is working on getting the beta ready
but it's been like 4 hours and nothing's happened
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
@Ginger nah 3
¯\_(ಠ_ಠ)_/¯
I have no clue if this is a thing that exists, but I really really hope it's possible I can be made a like, not-yet-moderator. I'm turning 18 in 5 months, and really really wanna be a mod, so I wonder if if y'all were to put in a good word for me, if lyxal and one or two others could be made pro tempore mods for now, then I could be added on my birthday?
I'm not sure there's an age limit for pro tempore mods?
17:13
I'd imagine there still is
But if there isn't that would be awesome
Wait if it was 9 o clock and now it’s 1 pm… that’s 4 hours
also having you and lyxal as moderators would be funny as hell
Can Snowpaw be a mod too
they're under 2 days old, so probably not d:
@RydwolfPrograms lmao I was thinking about that too
17:14
in Snowpaw's Den, 16 secs ago, by Snowpaw
@RydwolfPrograms snuggles up Oh no, that's not good, no no! covers face with paws You can't do that, silly sockpup! It's against the rules and not very fair to the other critters. nuzzles Please don't do it, okie?
WE NEED THIS
@Ginger what about meeeee lol
@RydwolfPrograms need what?
Snow as a mod
well if you do that then I'm essentially a mod because I control that account
speaking of, here's fun fact: I personally control 7 accounts on this site
Damn, that's a lot. I think I've only got 5
17:17
I’ve only got 2
Actually 3
One is an old one linked to my gh that I abandoned
then this one
Oh wait yeah I've got 6, forgot about my old account
and a third one a51 created wonkily
There's:
- My account
- My old account
- My sock (Sprow)
- An old sock I used once for a joke (allyx)
- New Posts
- Sandbox Posts
Oh wait also I've got Redwolf SMP
So 8. Boom, get outsocked, Ginger :p
Wait I cannot count
That's 7
lmao
well since mousetail's a clone of me I actually have 8
@RydwolfPrograms what
17:21
A bot that was going to syndicate chat messages between my Minecraft server and a chat room
I'm somewhat surprised that, like, Catija hasn't popped in to say "hey guys congrats on your new site"
I thought she was omnipresent
Right now we're probably waiting on an SCAPDFATIAT
wouldn't surprise me
17:46
@Ginger I’d expect mast

A: Time & work to be done from 100% commitment to private beta

Robert CartainoWhen a proposal reaches 100%, the site typically enters private beta the following week on a Tuesday or Wednesday evening (Eastern Time). Technical delays, scheduling conflicts, or larger internal discussions can push out a launch date, but the vast majority of sites will typically launch in that...

Whoa proofassitants went from proposal to private beta in 3 days
18:02
mathematicians know people I guess
well, guess we get to wait until next week?
but like we hit 100% on Sunday, so does that mean we have to wait until this Tuesday or next Tuesday?
18:50
It’s not Sunday for you anymore?
huh? it's still Sunday for me
You talked about Sunday in “third person (time?)”
as if it’s not sunday
19:12
Someone uncommited
moment of silence
w h a t
I swear if someone drops us to 199 I will personally find them and break their kneecaps
challenge accepted
 
1 hour later…
20:52
Oh okay so we have some time to chill and strategize before we become beta males beta users
I'm thinking we should hold back the best questions posted in definition by those of us who are actually in this room
2
Some will probably get posted by people who come up with them independently but we should at least have a couple to try to HNQ with right off the bat
21:43
whoo
yeah my inclination is that the really-popular but also not super involved ones should be held for public beta
because those aren't the best chance to show how well the site works but will blow up like hell for hnq
22:04
@RydwolfPrograms Heh, I'm an alpha* male and therefore an alpha user
*flawed, unstable, not ready for the real world
@user guess you could describe what I write as "alpha programs" then
Which makes you an alpha programmer
