Ask an Admin Day 2012 thread of doom!Follow

What do you get for 60k around here?

What happened to Pikko?

1. Is there already a pre-set title for me for when I hit 10k posts?

2. If as many admins could answer as possible: Would you rather fight a horse sized duck, or 100 duck sized horses? Why?

3. Is there any one poster who rates me down on a regular basis? No names necessary, don't care to know who, just curious.

4. Is crazylegs in The Asylum a sock? If so whose? Is it Varus or not?

5. I missed it, what exactly got varus banned the last time? Also, on a related note, can you stop just arbitrarily nuking posts/threads and just lock the threads instead if it's a large thread with actual discussion happening? or at least make it possible for us to view our posts from nuked threads via the "Your Posts" page? It's kind of annoying. Kind of really annoying.

6. Why did you guys have to go and make a 5th star? The hell? Dammit, there IS NO 5th star!

I dunno, we've never had anyone get anywhere near that close. Maybe an extra rate button? "I dunno what it does, but I just rated you Orange Sideways arrow!"


4.84. and that trick only works once. Also yours will be 2.00 in a minute.


Nothing as far as I know. She's still here, just doesn't post as much for various reasons, mainly time, and other things she can go into greater detail about if she chooses.


No, but we'll think of something... suitable.

A horse sized duck. Cartoons have taught me that most cartoon ducks are easy to defeat when armed with a suitable giant gray rabbit. Fighting 100 duck sized horses would result in lots of really tiny piles of horse crap. Plus, ducks are delicious, horses, less so unless you are Japanese.

Not enough for me to do anything about really. And there is a certain amount of irony to the situation that I can't really go into.


Not so far as I have been able to link far enough to do anything about.


Using certain phrases he was expressly forbidden from using again. for the 5th time, after I told him to stop it. And it depends on the thread or whether a ban is involved. Sometimes certain threads get nuked at the request of those who post them. Viewing nuked posts has been looked at as an option, though the vast majority of a non banned user nuked posts are going to be multiposts in history.


That one is actually an asterix.

Fair enough, and somehow, I think I understand.

As an addendum to my previous questions: Have any of the well-known banned posters(re: Katie, others from a while back in the Asylum) come back with a different name and are hiding it from all of us? Or have come back and been banned before they can post anything?

1. Have you, like, ever see your DingartTM? On that note, how did you ever manage to play EQ without a serious case of the heebie-jeebies? There's spiders in virtually every zone (up to TSS anyway).

2. I recall back in '07 or '08 plugging in random img=xxxxxxx and ran across some...disturbing furry gifs. Was that ********************** or someone else?

3. If, theoretically, a person wanted to gift other users with a tangible item is there any way to send an item to an Admin and have it sent along thus keeping addresses sekrit?

4. If a person wanted to gift premium to a(n) other user(s) how would one go about that?

5. GBATE??

Seriously, if I don't hit 10K or get titled before I can't see it anymore I will hire a man with a very particular set of skills; skills he has acquired over a very long career. Skills that make him a nightmare for admins who won't take pity on a long-suffering whiner *******.. If I get my title early, that'll be the end of it. He will not look for you, he will not pursue you. But if you don't, he will look for you, he will find you, and he will have a box in his hand. Don't ask what's in it, although I can totally assure you it won't be a swarm of spiders. Probably.

If a groundhog could throw lumber, how much would it throw?

How come I can't have a 10k title?

Or how about this...

If I were to get a 10k title what would it be?

Or maybe if I phrased the question this way...

What does it feel like to have a custom title all your own that no one else has?

Last one....

Is my 10k title Scholar?

It helps that the laptop I had back in college had a really bad 3D accelerator and most of the time I couldn't really see the spiders. That and dead spiders don't scare me so making them dead was addictive. I couldn't leave the game until they were all dead. everywhere. I nearly crapped myself the first time I saw the terrorantula though. And yes, I have seen the dingart, I've even commented on it before. the hat is a bit off, my current EQ2 hat looks more like an inverted stir fry wok.

Depends on how disturbing, and maybe? there was only the one pile of really really bad ones, but there are occasional others

Eh, maybe. it would depend on how many items we were talking. Many of us admins prefer to keep our mailing addresses secret too in case of ticking deliveries from certain godraidens. but maybe. PM me.


https://secure.zam.com/paypaloption.html is an option, otherwise talk to Darqflame and she may be able to accomodate that


Why would I want to Go Ban All Threads Everywhere? that seems counterproductive.


Good Luck.

And another. Who is this Kevin Wallace fellow on the Staff Bio page? He has 3 posts(although he doesn't appear to be an admin despite being content staff), he should grab some more and come answer some questions.

Oh. Cool. I haven't seen ads here in years(premium and adblock ftw), so it don't bother me none.

1. Link? All the other admins said you were, uh, disinclined to look

2. I drew it that way because I thought your EQ1 ranger was an wood elf (lolantlerhelms).

Tail goes in pooper disturbing....as a gif. Squicky x8
