Now if only i can get it to ping the person while throwing it. It's nice to have a bit of a heads up.

@JonEricson it is looking better on the site, yes?

@JonEricson I have sent an invite to an astrophysicist friend of mine - he deals with exoplanets amongst other things, also a university professor

he is disturbingly busy, but said he'll drop by when he can

@UV-D Some better and others, not so much. The updated version of observing black holes looks pretty good so far. Let's see what answers you get.

!!parse $someone

@DavidFreitag UV-D

I had to close down two more questions that were not likely salvageable at all. Haven't check this morning.

@JonEricson but overall?

@JonEricson looking at the front page of questions as an example, that seems, overall, it has improved hasn't it? meatier with roast veges and potatoes?

Hmm.

@JonEricson IT IS BEER WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED!!

@UV-D It's better. But I'd like to see what happens for the rest of the week. No site can survive with all the heavy lifting being done with only a handful of clued in users.

@JonEricson improvement is always a good thing to be part of

@JonEricson Actually, that's my concern here, the site reminds me of the evolution of Arduino... Only 5-6 users who really are active.

I count 7-10 active users

huh, that improved :)

just looking at the first 2 pages as an indicator

@ManishEarth Especially if many are also active elsewhere. A core of half-a-dozen can work iff they are all dedicated to the site as a labor of love. But it's a very fragile thing.

oh I labour, and I love

(damn that sounded creepy)

I worry that Astronomy and Space are both in the formative stage at the same time.

Me too

I worry about my questions and answers being scattered to the 4 winds if it closes

scope wise, then audience wise

Which highlights the need for the site, but also why it may not be so successful

I may meta post about this

and then being downvoted to oblivion for being off topic etc if migrated

Because to me, Astro and Space "feel" the same

I still worry that if the site goes down, many questions/answers would be 'lost' - either migrated to a site I do not belong to, or migrated to a site where it slammed, or worse still - discarded

@ManishEarth I think the ideology is different, but i will agree they feel the same.

@UV-D you can always join the site

I see Astro as being a 'bridge' between Space and Physics

I am in 2 minds about astrophysics

theoretical and practical astronomy here

astrophysics perhaps at physics

I don't know about that 3rd statement - I was not aware that there was that problem

I didn't join to run away from Chris

and would welcome his insights

(to keep context: Chris is an astrophysics grad student -- one of the "experts" on our site)

@UV-D He's talking about the ones who wanted the site in the first place when they knew Phys already covered the scope

definitely would welcome his insights

@ManishEarth got ya - but surely that is not the case with many who are here

maybe, but when the site launches, why would people ask expert questions here when there are more experts on Phy?

Which is a big thing holding the site back.

hmmm perhaps this site needs to be focused on theoretical and observational astronomy

the latter is probably not strictly on topic at Space nor Physics isn't it?

All is on topic on Phys

And we have experts for the rest of astro already

but would it be received well - or downvoted and labelled as 'homework' and other horrid tags

nope, well received

even my questions?

it worries me that we cant think of a good reason to have them seperated

this ^^

I'm seriously considering turning it into a meta post to get opinions, maybe someone could explain it better then either of us

it feels separate but I can't quite place why

@ManishEarth silly question, and I mean silly

would the rep earned here be reset if migrated or would the upvotes, accepts and reps follow?

it follows, the last set did

(if i remember rightly)

I know it is a small thing, but I thought I'd clarify

so, I reckon we still give the place a red hot go...

another silly question, would Hissatron follow?

:P

that one is certainly more silly

but important nonetheless

or would I have to supply the hissing and spitting?

you might have to do so until its moved to a new chat room

i dont imagine it would be more than 2 mins work to move it

but remember, we are the fun start up,

but that is IF astro falls

getting it approved in the big bureaucratic physics wont be easy

So @ManishEarth, whatever happens, efforts will not be wasted?

defiantely not! that would be a waste of time and information

i wonder what happens to closed questions, are they moved

and user who arent on physics, do they get created? or disassociated

or indeed a user not on space

anyways - I is going to bed - 4:50am here and I am still unwell

I've just asked my question for the day.

I hope it's meaty enough. I wasn't able to find any papers discussing it.

ok checking the question then going to bed

upvoted and favourited - I want to know that answer also

good night/morning/evening/timzone all

i totally want to get a bot and make it do nothing but annoy manish's bot by pinging it with reguests

We totally ought to integrate the chatbot with eliza.js

Bots don't get annoyed.

i wrote a program that 'evolved' before, that was good fun

And that could loosely be considered a war script. I wouldn't if i were you..

one day i will be a mod and will have my revenge!

maybe not in this universe though

@ManishEarth you should add a random complimenter. Use the $someone macro to choose someone at random and use the $rand(min, max) macro to choose a random compliment from an array :]

Or maybe just the JS rng would do too

I think they went through great lengths to not turn this into a war script =]

@ManishEarth "ReferenceError: window is not defined"

hmm

Besides, the script is only being run locally by you, if it were to open a popup, it would only open on your end

yep

but that would be scary

Unless somehow this guy found a HUGE XSS flaw in SO Chat

that would be scary :]
