Which part of the code handles the sd [x] messages and replies?

@Dragonrage Feedbacks don't do anything if metasmoke is down, FYI.

This happened about a month ago. The cause was that MS had run out of storage space.

@Glorfindel It is. It was just a domain change.

@Glorfindel Hey, can you please set your broken link fixer script to rewrite old, broken chat.meta.stackoverflow.com URLs to chat.meta.stackexchange.com?
Jan 23 07:16
@SmokeDetector Please flag - it's already attracted attention and an upvote from unknowing users.

I've added it now.
Jan 18 07:19
@cocomac I didn't know about it - just figured I'd test to see if it existed, and sure enough, it does. I'll make an edit to add it.

@Spevacus Yeah, hence "possible".

Huh, it showed to me as SmokeDetector left the room.

I do invite someone else to host a 400,000th true positives topic contest. The interest for that was lower than that of the one I just posted, but there was still interest.

@Cow Not alluding to anything. The ping was simply because you were one of those interested.

After all, a lot did change and a lot more could have changed in my life compared to when I originally started the 300,000 TP topic and date contests when metasmoke hit 200,000 TPs in October 2021.
Jan 14 08:23
On the other hand, just being real...the 500,000 true positive threshold won't be reached for another 6-8 years. There's a good chance that I either may have lost interest in the project or that there are significant changes in my life circumstances. As such, if I do host such a contest, I'd need to find someone to take it over should I not be able to judge it once the threshold is reached. Either that, or find someone who's certain they'd be around at that time to run it.

@cocomac Fixed in the draft. Unfortunately, the paste can't be edited.
Jan 14 03:40
@Cow @Vickel ^
Jan 14 03:40
Okay, since there seems to be enough demand for a 500,000 true positives topic contest, here's a draft of the rules I've come up with. Many of them are from the previous contest. If anyone has any feedback, please let me know via a reply to this chat message before the paste expires in three days.

@Mast Even after the decode, the post still qualifies as a nonsense post given the criteria Cow gave in their submission.
Jan 10 07:37
@Cow By the way, yesterday I just delivered your prize. Confirming you received it
Jan 10 07:09
Looks like just plain off-topic to me

@Cow Yep
Jan 7 22:09
@ipodtouch0218 We were having an informal contest to see who can correctly guess the topic of the 300,000th post to be caught by SmokeDetector.
Jan 7 22:08
@Cow Congratulations on winning the 300,000 true positives topic contest, with your guess of "Nonsense question or answer"! This was the 300,000th true positive.

Okay, it is getting really late here. I will wind down for the night and count backwards tomorrow

Jan 7 12:21
@Cow Why not post about them on their meta site?
Jan 7 11:20
If you could give me a ping when it reaches 10, that'd be nice
Jan 7 11:17
@Cow Just a notice.

Hey, I flagged a meta post for moderator attention last Christmas Eve, but the flag still remains unhandled today. Is there a chance it can be handled soon?
