@Malachi Did you tweet it or something?
@Mast when I answered it, almost 2 years ago, probably not even a tweet, probably Google+ or Facebook.
I should go and Tweet it now...lol
I think all I ever did on G+ was creating an account
^ditto
I created one - and removed it.
I use mine to post things and connect with different companies and stuff
and I post stuff about my website and blog posts for my website and stuff like that there.
I am still at -50 for the day....

G+ is a great example of a technically great product (I think circles is a really useful way to organise social networking) doomed to obsolescence by demand-side network effects (Namely, it doesn't matter how good the site is if nobody else is there).
^^
I agree
I actually kinda like G+
@Zak everyone is on Google, somewhere.
But not google+
I don't have facebook or twitter or any of those though, so maybe if I did I'd prefer them .. .

Q: Sun Wukong hat trap

Mat's MugQuoting @janos: Sun Wukong: Here's the one to watch out for: A hidden hat earned by a meta post with -5/+5. I don't know how to get this in a legit way. This hat sucks. It may or may not have come to my attention that Winter Bash 2015 on Code Review may or may not be cancelled, due to hat-h...

15:18
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Facebook used to be OK, but now it's nothing but ads & annoyances, mostly. Twitter is not quite the same "thing" IMO as Facebook and G+
Twitter themselves don't know what people use Twitter for

@Phrancis Yeah
@Mat'sMug lol
#HashTagWars
@Mat'sMug Really?
let's face it: that hat sucks
15:20
there's seriously no legit way of getting that one
somehow I love shamelessly downvoting every new answer to that question

@Heslacher you might want to join in
@Mat'sMug wasn't there that blog-post about it?
7 answers, highest voted is 1
@Mat'sMug My votes are totally scattered :D
@janos I did. Didn't you vote for my answer ??
We need another user.
12 views and there isn't a post with 5 up and 5 down?
@Heslacher oops, indeed, I did, but how the heck would you know that!
missing +1/-1
that ^^
@janos I have some meta vodoo going on
15:25
I bet there are a couple of people that can't see the vote counts....
I have only +3/-3.
keep it close to 0 that's all that needs to be done
if you see a +1 then downvote
if you see a -1 then upvote
I gotta say I've been happier downvoting on CR
15:26
let's see if it works.. only missing +1
I'm lowest voted :D Yay!
like in the song, What does the Fox Say? Hate Hate Hate Ho — Malachi 7 secs ago
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Oh no you don't upvotes
Guys I'm 21 in a week. what do
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Did you get it?
15:28
@DanPantry don't forget to vote on the answers
@DanPantry Um. Celebrate?
You all need 1 more downvote now.
Except @NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ who is +5/-5
And @Mat'sMug.
@Malachi thx bro, 4real ... will be stuck in my head now
@DanPantry We will see if this works . . .
15:29
Mug is +5/-5 on my screen
@Hosch250 technically the question is qualified now
We might end up just looking like a ton of fools

^^
man this is dumb
WHERE IS MY HAT NOW !!!!
15:29
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ It's not like we look like that anyway.
All people would have to do is come to this chat room and look at the starwall to see we are fools :-)
Got it
look at me, I am rolfl.....JK JK
I was little late, but I think I casted the final vote on at least 5-6 of you guys! :-)
Dan and Holroy need more votes.
> You earned Sun Wukong on Code Review!
6
Just thought that I missed one answer to vote....had been mine ;-)
15:31
> Did I miss a Hat-hate-fest?
Close...
How does one find the main chat room of a SE site?
so, do answers work too or we actually have to pollute the whole meta for this?
Go to the bottom of the home page and click Chat
15:32
It is usually the most active one.
@Mat'sMug Yes, answers work
I got it
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ lol that hat
I got it
15:33
I got it too
I'm waiting for it
I have to wear it for a minute
how often does someone want a down vote or two?!
Answers do work (thank goodness)
15:33
I now have 7 hats, soon 8
Zak
Zak
So, we're all agreed that we will all become monkeys for the duration of winterbash, right?
Christmas monkeys instead of Christmas elves.
that's a new one
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Hmmm, yes, it links to chat.stackexchange but automatically sorts it so that only related rooms are visible.
this whole thing was a big thing
15:33
Maybe it'll freak rolfl and nhgrif out when they come in and see everyone is a monkey
6
Thanks.
I don't feel like working. I want to earn hats. Buuutttt, big client release at the end of the week lol
:/
I have to mockup a website today
I should change my picture to get something more hat-fitting
15:35
Dan got it. Holroy and Zak need more votes.
that said everybody. gets! a! HAT!!

@Vogel612 I got thát hat
@Vogel612 I got that hat, but did nothing for it. Is there something I missunderstood?
15:36
that's just fine
Just own a hat when the site gets 20 unique ones
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Aaahhh ok!
@TopinFrassi I just fit the hat to my mug. no way I'm changing my picture.
Thanks
Me and Zak needs a little more help, please!
Zak
Zak
15:36
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ What happens if you don't earn a hat until after that point, have you permanently missed your chance?
@Mat'sMug Yeah, same. It actually works great for the HATMAN hat
@Zak yes
@Mat'sMug Yeah but MY picture is totally not-related to my account. I feel like it's time I put a little more of myself in that profile :p
@holroy OMW
@Zak it's not like you got a hat for being online yesterday-ish
@Mat'sMug did you do something different with your hair? ;-)
omw?
15:37
@DanPantry you have no idea
@holroy "On my way"
Ahh....
Give Zak an upvote.
@Mat'sMug We're being white Elmo
:26191606 Reload the webpage.
15:39
To counter the monkeys.
Hats don't just show up over here - I have to reload.
Oh, I just realised, my top tag is finally javascript
awesome
There! Back in Black! The HATMAN returns!
no, I mean, I had a haircut 18 months ago when I started this job.... next haircut was last Sunday. so, you have no idea ;-)
15:39
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ hits the Track
> I want to hat farm..
this guy will fit in just fine
I think we all need to say: Thanks Santa! :-D
5
Every! Body! Gets! A Hat!
@holroy Well, that's the first time santa is thanked for downvotes
15:41
ooh Specialist HatsMan too now
I can't imagine what a lurker would think if he came into this chat room now...

lol
he or she *

Screw it all, I'm in:

A: Sun Wukong hat trap

MastI agree with the Mug and janos. I don't understand why we're talking about this hat, or not.

@Mast if you agree you will only get up votes !!
First time I've downvoted a post by @Mast.
That hurt.
One more upvote.
@DanPantry I do it all the time ;-)
15:43
@DanPantry Lol, thanks :-)
Now that we have the hat, should those of us who got it delete our answers so they go to the bottom?
I'm thanking people for downvoting me...
2
Then, we won't have to sort through and see who needs it.
What's wrong with this universe!
@Hosch250 That's probably a good idea.
That is by far the strangest meta post I've seen for a while!
15:43
I need one more upvote on my answer and I'm done.
@Mast done
Someone just removed their upvote?
Done :-)
@Hosch250 good thinking
OK, nuke all answers.
@Mat'sMug Can you delete the answers that got the hat so we can easily see who needs it?
15:45
Too bad you can't flag answers for being obsolete
lol
2 minutes obsolete . . .
planned obsolesence gone mad 8)
@Hosch250 I could, but I won't. I think I've done enough to facilitate hat-farming now :)
we're bad
6
15:46
Pin that, please ^
bad bad bad
to the window
to the starwall
@Mat'sMug Your quote could use a link to the original by the way.
but we kept it contained
15:47
And we aren't sorry, are we?
WinterBash is good for my CR activity. I'm climbing the second rep page
Not at all, I got a monkey mask!
@Hosch250 We're gaming a temporary system based on madness. Somehow I'm not sorry about that.
any room owner can pin that
15:48
@TopinFrassi doctor who hat :D
there. at least I can say I didn't pin it
Winterbash being disruptive? Nah. Almost all chat rooms are filled with Hatspeak, but who gives.
@DanPantry I went through the zombies, found some that needed a little revamping. Edited. I think that's 2 birds 1 stone. They'll get bumped so we kill zombies, and I get a hat. :p
All the code will just have to wait till January to be taken serious again.
gotta get some work done, later folks!
If someone wants a silver badge for the hat. A good answer on that one will earn

Q: Architecture to cache data

AlexandrI cache the data and use local database in my Windows Phone app. The algorithm is very simple: Get data from DB and show in UI Get data from a web service and show in UI Update data in DB from the web service Some data need to be saved in DB, and some do not need to. For these purposes, I ha...

Necromancer is silver.
@Hosch250 I know, that's what I wrote.... :p
I have a brilliant title for my next post.
> You're Promoted, You're Promoted, You're All Promoted!
15:55
Easy to get that badge.
Darn I'm in disguise.
rolfl should get the monkey hat.
I think possibly that CR is one of the sites having the most of Sun Wukong hat...
CR is 7 all time!
15:58
@Mast Yeah, not sure why it does that. Chat has been buggy for the last bit
Hats has gotten to it I guess
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ My name is probably too short.
Hidden under the hat.
Name is cowering in fear.
For the monkey
Ah yes
The name, I could see it before the hat popped over it
Exactly.
I'm in 4th, within 3 hats of first!
wow
At the end of the day the client is responsible for fulfilling their agreement with their bank, they will likely need to prove to the bank they are PCI compliant. In the client hosted situation, basically if they decide to use your software and it has been through PA-DSS compliance then they don't need to 're-prove' it is compliant (by doing code reviews etc). They can use your software if it has not been through PA-DSS but they would be fully responsible for making sure it has been developed properly. Either way they would be responsible for making sure it's implemented in a compliant way. — Richard 19 secs ago

Last year I did a lot worse
Zak

I feel my profile pic (Red tunic, Platemail) is such a good match for the monkey hat, it must be fate :)

16:01
@Duga Got it
Just discoverd that I can easily access the chat using the SE Android app :)

Q: Names can be hidden under hats in chat

MastIf a user types a couple of lines right after each other in chat, the avatar grows to it's maximum size. So does the hat. Because of the size of the mask and the short length of the name, the name gets hidden by the hat. This can't possibly be by design.

@DJanssens Yep, real handy
What's new around here besides the hat race? :)
@DJanssens How?
Not opening the browser?!
Zak
Zak
16:07
Are hats supposed to display in chat? Because I'm not seeing them.
Yes they are, but they take time to load
I'm seeing them.
Zak
Zak
Curious. I see nothing. and I'm on a full screen with good internet.
I assume you reloaded the page
16:08
Maybe firewall or some other such thing?
@Quill-HATMANIAC about that gretchen answer, I guess you missed some : "or in the following:" no following there
Bother, CR won't let me use a '!' in the title.
"You are Promoted!" doesn't work, even though it is an accurate description of the question.

Q: My code is a class in which an API for currency conversions is accessed and returns the JSON in a String

jordancolbycoxeveryone. I am doing my first Java mini-project, and this is what I have came up with so far. I am trying to abide by the SOLID principles. Hence, I have made a class entirely dedicated to the network data. Let me know what you think of this so far! import java.net.*; import java.io.*; public ...

Hmm, it just can't be the last non-whitespace character.
Whee, heee, heee, heee! I tricked it!
Zak
Zak
16:17
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Chrome
@Zak I'm seeing them here.
And yes, sometimes it takes a while before chat has figured out to display the hat.
So the hat isn't always visible.
But it will be.
Give it time.
At leas under Firefox.

@Zak odd
I have chrome too
MSE, SO and Mathematics are above that list.
But we're doing quite well.
Nice camo by the way @Quill-HATMANIAC
@Mast lol
I'm never pimping answer, but now there's an hat on the line! I need 5 upvotes to get the Necromancer silver badge and get the hat. I'll rep-put that gain rep on a bounty!

A: Architecture to cache data

TopinFrassiLet's go over the basics first! The indentation is quite a mess. But I suppose that might be related to the SE formatting. Otherwise, you should make your indentation coherent. Stuff like : public interface IGYDataAccess { void GetUserInfo(Action<GYUser, Exception> act, string id);...

That's Jamal, for those who can't recognize him anymore ^^
@Mast That isn't Jamal. That's Batman
@TopinFrassi Jamal is faster than Batman.
16:27
@Mast But.. but... Batman :(
I don't think I can make my answer any more specific, sorry. Using my answer above, I can achieve just what you are asking to do. Looks more like you need help with code review, try posting your code at codereview.stackexchange.comdfri 36 secs ago
Wow... all these puns are so above of my hat

16:29
Don't you like how I tricked SE to be able to use a ! at the end of the title?
@holroy I believe it still uses a browser inside the app, but it also shows notifications you get in the chat.
@Hosch250 There's no ! at the end of that question.
Only at the end of the title.
Not the same.
@DJanssens Hmm... I get notifications, but if I click them they open in my browser. Not internally in the app
OK, Sir Pedant.

I hope I get Onion Knight on that.
@Hosch250 I'm curious though, how did you get that Exclamation mark on there?
@Mast I don't want SE to know. Give me your email address ;)
16:34
lol
lol
You won't tell SE, will you?
Me? No!
Oh wow.
@Mat'sMug I'm going to attack that +200 bounty you gave on the problem factory!
16:35
That's making titles underhanded PPCG style.
I found a small nitpick in my question. I'm going to see if I can't get a +3 worthy answer.
@Hosch250 You probably can
Votes will be flying
I won't pimp it, though, +3 should be easy to get on a good answer.

Q: UserForm to handle Date Inputs (Day,Month,Year)

And here's me, with a genuine normal non-hat-motivated CR question :)
Let @CaptainObvious pimp for you
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Captain only pimps questions, not answers.
> should
:p
@Zak Shoot away! You'll most likely get an answer by someone!
16:46
@Zak Me too.
I would have posted that anyway.
Even though a lot of focus on hats, other questions gets responses as well!
I'd like to remind everybody that you shouldn't game hats. I'd rather hate hats than get them by "gaming the system".
14
@SimonForsberg While I tend to agree, SE totally expects people to game hats.
is there a hat for changing your name or something?
@Morwenn No, they expect people to figure out what positive contribution you can do that might get you the hat.
16:51
@SimonForsberg That's what they want, probably not what they actually expect :p
Zak
Zak
@CaptainObvious If you want your speedy-delivery hats, better get in quick :)
@Mat'sMug would you Peer Review my Resume?
Zak
Zak
@SimonForsberg For most of them, sure. But there are hats which are pretty obviously designed with the intention of being gamed.
@Malachi tonight? I mean, not now ;-)
I don't know that I have anyone else's emails..
@Mat'sMug I emailed you
16:55
@Zak No hats were designed with the intention of being gamed.

Hey @Pops, fancy meeting you here
@Pops Hello! :)
got it
Hey could anyone unpin the Secret Santa message, everyone answered the email, I'd like to put an update to this
StackExchange is a Q&A site, not a game site. well GameDev is, but, no it's not it's a Q&A site about gaming
2
16:57
@TopinFrassi [status-completed]
Every instance of hat gaming is making me increasingly sad/disappointed, and I'm not exaggerating or playing that up for comedic effect. It's making me wonder whether Winter Bash is a problem where the only solution is to not have it next year.
@Vogel612 thanks!
@Pops that is a bummer
