The Nineteenth Byte

"In order for your Site's traffic to grow (and not shrink again!), it must consistently offer lots of good help to the world – and that means continuously keeping both its answers and its quality high."

Runer112

what tooltip is this

Rainbolt

The question mark

Geobits

tooltip/text, whatever. The part that explains it.

Runer112

3:34 PM

what the hell happened to quality lol

Geobits

I would not put it past them to offer deceiving information on April Fool's.

Rainbolt

High traffic lowers quality faster

Err... causes it to degrade faster

But I'm sure it causes us to win faster as well

Geobits

Listening in on The Bridge. We're not the only ones that think lifehacks.se is "odd".

PhiNotPi

Here's my theory, backed up by data from the previous round.

If the number of hearts is above a certain level (I think 12) then traffic increases by 1/3.

Runer112

did we decide that quality is more important than answes

we just overwhelmingly voted quality over answers

then randomly switched back

Unihedro

3:39 PM

Organization is overrated

Optimizer

Optimization is overrated

Unihedro

Yeah, you may as well as retire. :p

VisualMelon

Watermelons are overrated

Sp3000

Think we can get sub-300?

Rainbolt

I think everyone is going for the lowest category now. So if quality is at 2 stars, everyone jumps on it

Geobits

3:40 PM

Big toes are overrated.

Optimizer

@Sp3000 no

PhiNotPi

I think we're moving at 6pxl right now.

VisualMelon

Quality seems the most angsty, we should go for that when everything is 4/4

Sp3000

How much do you think decay would decrease if we did nothing?

(if any)

Optimizer

@PhiNotPi yes

Geobits

3:42 PM

We could restart arqade again just to salt the wound if you're bored. They only have 2-3 voters now.

Runer112

sure

VisualMelon

sub-300 should be possible, no? we were over 100 when we graduated

Runer112

we need like 1 or 2 more in arqade

Geobits

Who's on anime? They seem well organized, if not numerous.

Optimizer

at current speed, we can actually win at 265

@Geobits @Sp3000

Runer112

3:45 PM

sweet

too bad we ruined our average forever with the first two rounds

Rainbolt

What happened first two rounds

Optimizer

but we are the raiders!

@Rainbolt we were analyzing to get a start

Rainbolt

Oh, you mean the first two wins

Runer112

I dunno, I only came in around round 3

Sp3000

There's only a few of us in anime and we're basically following the same rough strat

Optimizer

3:46 PM

@Sp3000 don't get too attached to anime, we will have to start raiding it too soon ;)

Geobits

@Sp3000 You realize we can't let you beat PPCG, right? :P

Rainbolt

Hmmm. I think we should just go ahead ad knock some sense into them

Sp3000

You do realise anime can't beat PPCG anyway, right? :P In the long run

Optimizer

we dont even know there is a long run

Rainbolt

Here's the link for lazy raiders anime.stackexchange.com

Geobits

3:47 PM

While winning is fun, winning by a lot is more fun.

VisualMelon

you guys are horrible!

Rainbolt

We got close on the restart

40 to 60

Optimizer

lol nothing is winning

VisualMelon

I suppose it does mean that the whole thing is just a measure of solidarity of SE communities

Rainbolt

Ah. I think we got it now

VisualMelon

3:48 PM

but when if SO comes after us? they must have lots of people

Runer112

more like a measure of animosity

ProgramFOX

@VisualMelon It's disabled on SO.

Rainbolt

46 to 54

VisualMelon

ah, thanks ProgramFOX

Geobits

@VisualMelon SO isn't very organized (yet) from what I saw. Too big.

Rainbolt

3:48 PM

Two more restart votes on anime

So close

Madara Uchiha

I WILL START BANNING PEOPLE!

:P

Unihedro

@Rainbolt >:(

That's foul play!

Rainbolt

WIN!

Geobits

Boom goes the dynamite

Rainbolt

They are retaliating

Optimizer

3:49 PM

@MadaraUchiha well, we are not breaking any rules !

Rainbolt

Hold the ranks!

Optimizer

we are getting raided guys!

Rainbolt

By.... one guy.

Runer112

Optimizer

Rainbolt

3:50 PM

Top to bottom voting now. Vote the for the top one that isn't maxed

Always top to bottom

Optimizer

NO CLOSE

Rainbolt

(and never close)

Geobits

Watch out. Blue-name up there probably has connections :P

Rainbolt

Our chat is being raided now

2

They wants to know our secrets

Optimizer

uchiha's are attacking !

user23013

3:51 PM

Should we agree on which to prefer when answer=quality now?

Optimizer

top down

without closing

Madara Uchiha

@Optimizer Are you talking back to me? ARE YOU?

2

Optimizer

where's naruto when we need him

Sp3000

Protip: If anybody's aiming for Tumbleweed, today's a good day to post

6

Optimizer

TOP DOWN WITHOUT CLOSING. PREFERENCE TO TOP DOWN ONLY

Rainbolt

3:53 PM

If we aren't careful, Light from Death Note is gonna write all of our names in his book and we'll all die.

Geobits

We've got 6 restarters now

Runer112

do we? only 1 this round

Rainbolt

And then Sasuke will use his Manyo-yo Sharingan on us.

Then Broly will beat us up

Optimizer

@Rainbolt Mange-kyo

Rainbolt

Yes I know. Jokes

Optimizer

3:53 PM

We need Lufy

Geobits

Well they had 30% of 20 one round at least.

Rainbolt

I am a narutard and I make fun of myself

TheBestOne

oops

Rainbolt

Something doesn't feel right. Like they are plotting

Geobits

Almost too quiet...

Hasturkun

3:55 PM

All 2 of them?

Optimizer

new user ^

yay ! :)

guys, buckle up. its now or never

Hasturkun

I came over after seeing this on SO, was too chaotic there

ProgramFOX

in Tavern on the Meta on Meta Stack Exchange Chat, 21 secs ago, by Unihedro

PPCG just raided us :( I'm out

Runer112

is someone keeping an eye on movies & tv

TheBestOne

So, top down, no exception

Sp3000

3:56 PM

So much for sub 300 being hard

Geobits

Well we've got a good strat now. A few more wins like this will drag the average down nicely lol.

Unihedro

@ProgramFOX Like I'm not here.

Geobits

@Runer112 Yea, they're shut down for no activity :)

Rainbolt

We're gonna be the first to 3!

And then we'll be raided more

Optimizer

@Unihedro better chose sides :)

Rainbolt

3:57 PM

Woot

Unihedro

@Optimizer CR > PPCG :P

Rainbolt

I want to see how things go when we are being constantly raided by everyone

Optimizer

@Unihedro haha

@Rainbolt naruto vs the world ?

Rainbolt

Errr... no that's another site

Naruto raids us

They form the unified whatchamacalit and fight the war

Optimizer

we are on to around 280 to win

Runer112

3:59 PM

so when we restart, what's the official strat

Rainbolt

Top to bottom? Seems to work fine

Runer112

top-down or top-down with users and quality inverted

Optimizer

top to bottom without closing without any other preference ?

Rainbolt

I like top to bottom with users and quality inverted as well

VisualMelon

indeed

Runer112

3:59 PM

we need to settle on one
