ಠ_ಠ That Dennis had something to do with the downhill-ness of TNB. ಠ_ಠ
I was wrong, obiviously

Downgoat's userid?

HyperNeutrino

Please don't accuse users of causing issues with chat.

Zachary T

I wasn't. I just want to pin down the moment when it became ... this.

HyperNeutrino

Then why do specific user IDs matter to you?

totallyhuman

i don't see anything wrong with... this

Zachary T

OH. Duh, what am I doing. Search for ಠ_ಠ.

That should get me near the point in time.

Okay, that didn't work. Lenny face?

@Geobits You think someone would do that? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Zachary T

Gah, that's after it.

Instance of " Can't outgolf dennis" or something similar?

HyperNeutrino

I need to outgolf Dennis but I'm stuck at 17 bytes

Okx

^ what does it look like if someone stars this? (please? :))

Zachary T

Where is quartata, anyways?

totallyhuman

in a place

Zachary T

First occurence of the word "meme"?

Found a possible downhill date. https://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/240/2014/4/1

Star bait

People, please.

in Star bait, Jan 1 at 0:43, by Geobits

This whole room makes me sad.

Zachary T

LOL. That ever existed.

trichoplax

> Do you want to leave Star bait?

HyperNeutrino

If only it kept starbait out of TNB...

Mar 31 '14 at 22:32, by TheDoctor

If people on SE could buy rep, how would life be different?

Interesting thought.

trichoplax

22:15

It was just for when there was a hat for stars, which we didn't want people trying for in TNB

HyperNeutrino

Oh okay.

Phoenix

@HyperNeutrino I would have the same exact amount of rep

HyperNeutrino

I wasn't active when that existed I think :P

@Phoenix same

possibly less if I could sell rep for real money $_$ :P

trichoplax

If I could buy things with rep I'd post a lot more often

Phoenix

Not because I wouldn't want to pay, but because I'm broke.

HyperNeutrino

@HyperNeutrino APL: →1

HyperNeutrino

Befunge, 0 bytes:

(btw I don't know Befunge)

Zachary T

All of you are false. He will eventually die.

HyperNeutrino

And by "leave", I mean his icon no longer shows up on the right side, not Starman-leave.

@ZacharyT Blasphemy! Dennis is a God; he shall never die!

Zachary T

His body will die. (By then, we might make a code-golfing bot and name it Dennis)

HyperNeutrino

22:18

anyway will be back soon

Destructible Lemon

Please stop with the "mod is god" memes; they're like a 10* worse version of "dennis no outgolfed!"

Zachary T

What is Starman-leave???

Phoenix

@ZacharyT We used to have a user named El'Endia Starman

They left forever because there was too much noise in TNB

It was very sad.

Zachary T

How long ago was that?

Phoenix

TNBDE became outdated.

@ZacharyT I think February

trichoplax

22:20

We've had a number of users leave because of the noise. Unfortunately they don't all announce it so we don't know exactly how many we have lost

Zachary T

This year?

HyperNeutrino

It was that recent?

I don't recall having ever seen El'Endia around before.

Then again I might not have been an active chatter back then.

Zachary T

Was it this February??

trichoplax

That kind of punctuation doesn't help the problem...

HyperNeutrino

Yeah, that's the sort of stuff that causes people to leave, etc.

Zachary T

22:23

fixed

Stephen S

It's all because we are chatroom 240, if we were chatroom 420 we'd be set for life

Zachary T

@HyperNeutrino <insert change.org link>

Zachary T

So, what is it with @EvilSheep and @Downgoat?

trichoplax

22:38

→ 9 messages moved to Trash

Zachary T

Wow, so you guys are that quick to kick, I assume?

trichoplax

At the end of a conversation specifically about noise, after being asked not to use excessive punctuation, it doesn't seen that quick

Destructible Lemon

I don't know if they actually did kick

Mendeleev

They kicked.

Honestly, I just got here and didn't read the conversation above

Destructible Lemon

o ok then

Mendeleev

22:41

Should have

Destructible Lemon

I think it was more about asking not to be kicked

Mendeleev

So I asked to not be kicked, then was immediately kicked?

HyperNeutrino

It could have been an RO.

Besides, you should know better after having been kicked multiple times already.

Zachary T

Wait, you got kicked?

HyperNeutrino

And you are not a low-rep user anymore.

Destructible Lemon

22:43

@Mendeleev this is how you get kicked again

Mendeleev

I wonder, what's the maximum kick time?

HyperNeutrino

a year

Mendeleev

Wait, seriously?

DJMcMayhem

No

Zachary T

30 minutes.

Right?

Mendeleev

22:44

Please don't find it out in practice using me as a test subject

DJMcMayhem

Kicks and suspensions are different. Kicks only go up to 30 minutes, and suspensions can be as long as a mod wants

Mendeleev

OK, thanks

Zachary T

Sο, dοn't get suspended.

Mendeleev

So you can do 9999 year suspensions?

DJMcMayhem

I believe so

Mendeleev

22:44

Just please don't do it to me

DJMcMayhem

I can't

Zachary T

οverkill, οbviοusly.

Mendeleev

ok, good

Stephen S

it'd be 256 years prob, can store in one byte

trichoplax

@Mendeleev You were kicked for an entirely off topic irrelevant image, not for asking not to be kicked (which has no reducing effect on previous messages)

Mendeleev

22:46

@trichoplax OK, makes sense

I've seen irrelevant images posted (and starred) here a lot

trichoplax

We're not looking to suspend anyone. It's a last resort

Zachary T

And ban is fοr ... hοrrible ρeοple, I assume?

trichoplax

@Mendeleev You're right, and we're working to reduce that. We don't spot every one but I remove particularly irrelevant images and cancel stars where I can

Mendeleev

ok

@ZacharyT Ban == suspension

Zachary T

οh, just a life-lοng duratiοn?

Mendeleev

22:48

Yup

Stephen S

@ZacharyT akaik you don't get banned on se

trichoplax

@ZacharyT Ban is not a separate thing from suspend. Suspensions are for unacceptable behaviours. People are all welcome, regardless of whether they have been previously suspended

Mendeleev

Although there's no guarantees that even the Stack Exchange Network will last that long

though I hope it does

Stephen S

@Mendeleev archive.org

Zachary T

If it does, then a bot could get banned and "live" tο tell the tale.

Mendeleev

22:50

@StephenS there's no guarantees that even archive.org will last that long

Stephen S

@Mendeleev If the Internet's still around, these sites will be, barring worldwide natural disasters

Zachary T

Heck, English language might not last that long.

Stephen S

You guys are pessimistic

Zachary T

Yοu're tοο οpimistic.

Stephen S

What's going to happen, another Tower of Babel or something?

Zachary T

22:52

No, just extinction of English language.

Due to spread of others.

Stephen S

Latin's still around, and I think English is much more prevalent now than Latin ever was

Zachary T

English has done it to a few, so who's to say one can't do it to English.

Stephen S

It's too big, it might die but it won't go extinct

Zachary T

It'll become the next Latin.

Stephen S

We have recordings now, so cryptoanalyists could always analyze them

@ZacharyT Then it's dead, not extinct :P

Zachary T

22:54

Sorry, misterminology

Uriel

@ZacharyT well, if you are talking about your life time, you will have to be the last english speaker to make it happen

you can cryogenically freeze yourself

Zachary T

Nah, rather just have my brain made into software.

Uriel

how do you know the hardware it runs on wont be destroyed?

Zachary T

How do you know your cryogenically frozen body won't be destroyed

Stephen S

@Uriel If you're on the web, and the web spread across the world like blueprints are imaging, the whole net would have to go down :P

@ZacharyT Because you buried it inside a pyramid... oh wait

Zachary T

22:57

That a plot to a movie or something?

trichoplax

I feel TNB needs one of these

3

Stephen S

@ZacharyT That's kinda the plot to ancient Egypt

DJMcMayhem

@trichoplax I love the title text on that

Stephen S

@trichoplax All that'll do it fill people with the desire to link to obligatory xkcds

Zachary T

^

trichoplax

22:59

@StephenS I'd find that less depressing...

Uriel

@StephenS well, it might go down if it would be restructured in the future

Stephen S

@trichoplax xD

Uriel

as a part of some intergalactic communication system

Stephen S

@trichoplax Obligatory XKCD: Positive Attitude

trichoplax

Is it obligatory to post the horrifically low quality 3d version?

HyperNeutrino

23:03

Obligatory non-trash XKCD

trichoplax

Considerably more readable

Destructible Lemon

@Uriel cryonically*

and also it isn't freezing

Mendeleev

Something's wrong here

trichoplax

Do they have an issue tracker?

HyperNeutrino

yesterday, by Adám

Zachary T

23:08

Got to love it when Linux decides to randomly drop to 0%!

Mendeleev

@trichoplax I don't know

@ZacharyT Please elaborate

ATaco

CSS is basically the worst thing to happen to the modern internet. But I couldn't think of a better way to do it.

Zachary T

My plug wasn't in for like 5 minutes, then the battery percentage just dropped to 0.

JSSS was a thing.

ATaco

I've got SCSS on a-ta.co

But, it's not much of an improvement.

Mendeleev

@ATaco Why?

Destructible Lemon

23:10

@ATaco hi

how is the bobby going?

Mendeleev

@ATaco Any way to disable the parentheses auto completion? Which userscript is it in?

Destructible Lemon

it is at your work at the moment? I was kind of disappointed I couldn't work on anything yesterday

ATaco

@Mendeleev AutoFormatter, I don't use it myself.

Mendeleev

OK, thanks

I just installed all of them]

ATaco

@DestructibleLemon Well now it's in my hands, and I've not yet continued on it.

Destructible Lemon

23:11

cool

well... can you put the current thing on github mebbe?

ATaco

@Mendeleev Lack of cross-browser consistency, low quality syntax and difficult positioning in a project designed around design.

Mendeleev

@ATaco The consistency is on the browser devs, not the standard. The syntax issue is debatable. Positioning is easy with flexbox.

I don't understand why we're so worried about thinking that PPCG has become a nasty site

I've found that SO is extremely hostile

HyperNeutrino

That's why we're concerned. We don't want to follow their hostility.

Mendeleev

IMO PPCG is one of the best sites

ATaco

TNB isn't that bad.

We're just, a bit loud and careless.

Mendeleev

TNB is a community of awesome people who do bad things sometimes

HyperNeutrino

I think we have the strongest sense of community of all SE sites (maybe also along with Puzzling.SE) partly because we're not a Q+A site, we write challenges and solve them and have fun on this site. Q+A sites don't have as much fun as us :D

Mendeleev

completely irrelevant funny thing I found in a game called dig or die

PPCG is the party site of SE

PPCG aka Ibiza
