Shog9 has made a change to the feeds posted into this room
This won't actually retrieve anything until the site goes public, at which point it should just show questions with no answers.
(which may or may not be useful)
@Shog9 how long does it wait until after the question is posted to see if it still has no answers?
I'm not sure. There's no doubt some interaction there between the frequency with which chat polls the feed and the API's cache, but I dare not guess at what this means in practice.
It won't be instant in most cases.
yeah, I just wouldn't want it posting questions just because they haven't been answered in 5 minutes
02:54
Yeah, this isn't SO. Not everything gets answered in 5 seconds.

Q: Migrating to Japanese Language & Usage

SF.Questions about language and expressions are bound to happen over and over. Another meta makes a point that they sometimes belong here (character-centric) and sometimes, to JLU for being generic or not specific to anime. It is hard for a non-Japanese to know this a'priori, so, we shouldn't penal...

@Shog9 Did you change the feed to "only questions with no answers"? Thanks, that makes more sense. :)

Q: What should happen to off-topic Tags?

looperIt's maybe a little bit early to ask that question, but it can occur, that questions are asked, which are off-topic, and a tag is created therefore. Example: How does Ang stay alive for 100 years? avatar. As discussed in the question, avatar is not topic of AaM, hence the question is closed. But...

Q: Are Cosplay-related questions on-topic?

looperI've just seen a cosplay-related question, which was posted during the definition-phase. http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/31538/anime-manga/31755#31755 There was a discussion, whether the question would be too objective, but I have an other question: Are cosplay-related questions on-t...

Hello @atlantiza
And the others.
hi :)
@atlantiza Sorry, but I am always wondering: are you male or female? lol
@Alenanno I wonder... it seems more fun to leave people guessing though
@atlantiza lol that's not fair. :D
:P
@atlantiza I have my own impression though.
19:02
Hi
Hey @JNat
I have a question for all of you: Are you willing/considering/thinking of nominating for pro-tem mods?
@Alenanno I am
Yes, no, maybe, perhaps, in a way, somewhat, somehow, who knows, what am I saying, I can't stop this, help?
19:04
@Alenanno: I am too
wait
do you mean ourselves or others?
Yourselves.
oh
that I am still not sure
Ok then @MadaraUchiha ...now the million dollar question: why?
:D
I have two names in mind that I want to nominate (not myself).
@Alenanno I have a few reasons.
The main one is that it's a challenge I haven't had yet, and I want to try it out.
@MadaraUchiha Power? Hmpf! The same Madara as usual! :P
19:06
@Alenanno: I was thinking that you, @MadaraUchiha and @krazer should be nominated
@Alenanno It's not uncommon during pro tem selection for users to suggest other people and have them accept the nomination.
The other main is because I have a lot of Stack Exchange experience, and I think I can help develop this community, the right way.
@GraceNote Yes, I know, that's why I'm going to do it. :P
Last, and least, is because I will in some point want to elect myself to Stack Overflow moderator, and I could use the experience (a.k.a. power :D)
@MadaraUchiha I don't think the one going around telling people to get crushed should be in such power! lol
19:07
@atlantiza Korosu! Tsubusu!
:P
@MadaraUchiha lol
I suppose it is one way to mod though
eliminate those who disagree...
@JNat Thanks. :) But I already have 3 sites. I'll step up only if there is a need for a third name. But I doubt it.
I want to leave others the chance to do it.
Even if I like the site a lot.
My main reason for not being sure about nominating myself is that I am not sure if it will take much more time than the time I've been spending this week
Or I can simply bribe @GraceNote and make myself the only Emperor , Ruler... Uhm, moderator.
19:09
@Alenanno The great thing about Stack Exchange sites, you can still make a huge impact, even without being a mod.
On Stack Overflow for instance, we have the chat rooms where pros usually hang out. We use the opportunity to maintain the respective tags (at least that's how we roll for )
@JNat Well, if anything the pro-tem moderation is the less demanding. It'll be demanding when the site is huge (like SO).
@Alenanno I like your use of when.
@Alenanno so you've told me before. and if that is the case, I think I'd like to give it a try =D
@JNat Right on! lol

Q: Is there any way to kill Alucard?

Hashirama SenjuI'm pretty sure they tried every way possible to try it, but still he continued to stay alive and fight. I did not really understand if there is any limits for him, or maybe they did not know that he had one. In Hellsing Ultimate: Episode 2, when Luke Valentine says he will prove that Aluca...

Q: Should we allow questions about the legality of forms of anime?

fbueckertThis is spurred by this question: Why Anime Music Video are admitted in anime conventions? This question is asking about the legality of music videos at conventions. I don't believe questions asking for legal advice are a good fit for anime.SE, because we're not lawyers. The usefulness of a...

I can't believe no one asked about even once before I did
@MadaraUchiha surprising indeed...

@jkerian I see you added japanese-language to anime.stackexchange.com/questions/245 but I'm not really sure it has anything to do with japanese language...
@atlantiza Close enough
if we are talking about the japanese language, I'm pretty sure there is no disagreement that the name is ホロ
Yeah... that particular question doesn't have much interest to me... but questions of romaji<->kana<->kanji in general probably should have that language tag
doesn't mean "Would be ontopic on JLU" :)
but the problem of how to write her name only really comes up for non-japanese communities
Hmm... given that it shows up in a letter in the anime itself, I'm not 100% sure that's true
23:29
the series is very western-inspired so I have trouble seeing how a character's name is related to japanese language
My logic is something like the following. "The tag is appropriate, but that tag should be burninated. Romaji is (as much as it sends some learners into shock) a way of writing Japanese... so romaji questions are all, in some way, japanese language questions.... tag them as such"
hm, I finally found a jp page talking about horo vs holo but it ended up just being a page translating foreigners' reactions, haha
