You know, Livio's really inactive these days. And I don't know about you, but there have been multiple times where I've wanted to ask him to do something, but he's not around. By the time he comes around, I don't remember what I was going to ask him, because that was like a week ago.

I've sent him PMs, and they usually work, but the last 2 times I've done it, he's totally ignored them, so maybe instead what we should do, is keep a running list of things that we want to ask him to do, that way when he does come online in a month of two, we can bombard him with all of these requests.

Plus I've heard that we're having a lack of activity, so another topic couldn't hurt. So lets also use this to complain about his inactivity.

Anyways, I'll start.

About a month or two ago I realized that we never placed the new Interbot location. I remember that rocket guy2 sent me a PM a while ago, but I either replied to it suggesting a new location, asked him to send it to another mod because I was busy, or never got around to it. So I asked Livio via PM if he could recover that PM which has since been long lost. This never happened.

And also more recently, I requested that he delete some of our banned members, since we have a lot of banned members that can be deleted. He's come on a few times since, but no members have been deleted.

And also yesterday I wanted to ask that he get rid of the italicized chatbox name thing. It's really not necessary, and has been more annoying than useful. If anyone wants to really impersonate someone else, they can do it pretty easily. And if they did it, it probably wouldn't be long before we caught onto them, so who cares, anyways? Should be gotten rid of.


And I guess in the spirit of complaining about his activity, I think I saw him this past Friday two Fridays ago, and he said something about how he was going to be active on the weekend, but not at that moment. So I saw him online the next day, about noon where he lives, and then I don't remember seeing him doing anything, and he just went offline to never be heard from again...


So, do you have anything that you'd like Livio to take care of but know that he won't? Any thoughts or complaints on his activity?

1. Stop being inactive.
2. Work on Aeon.
3. Everything Quirvy just said (hide Interbot, delete banned members, and get rid of italicized chatbox names).

In a nutshell.

Fix difficulty ratings.

I dunno, Livio ignored my last comment on Interbot was is here about there being a typo when your PM box is empty, and even though the Video Archive makeover will happen in 2018, if I had to pick 1 page that was really ugly, it'd be the newest videos page...

Ohey, we should make new smileys: :nod: +1 and -1 . +1 being a thumbs up and -1 being a thumbs down.

Here's what I had in mind:

There's already APPROVE and REJECT, as well as NEUTRAL.

Yes, but is so much smaller. Also. APPROVE and the other color censors primarily refer to requests and suggestions, whereas +1 and -1 could refer to something like this "I just threw a chocolate milk carton at my friend. My life is complete +1 " or something like that.

I don't know if those in particular are that good, but I would definitely approve of a thumbs down smilie, if it would fit in with the other smilies and not look like it was from another planet or something.

...Yeah, I'm looking at you, smilie...

LOL Quirvy. Of course you're the one to look at smileys as aliens from different planets. =P

Here's a list of users who we don't normally see online who have been online since Livio's last visit:

DeathBunni X - Not too inactive, but still isn't really an active member anymore, I feel. Ex: She hasn't been seen in over a week.
sinpokman - He like disappeared forever I think but recently came back and posted a cave that I think I told myself I should play.
Onarole - Definitely belongs on this list.
evil534 - I don't actually know that much about him
ThedeglitcherXD - Inactive
AdBot - We should change him back to interbot some time soon...
zuoming - I don't even know who this guy is, but apparently he signed up last year.
Noah - Despite leaving the interguild after being frustrated with Thomas and Isa, he apparently made an appearance Monday.
Xyteran - I still remember that this is Dekudude, even though I'm seeing him less and less.
Chezerony - Disappeared for a while
bang_jan - I feel like we don't hear from him much anymore
Billy - Hasn't been too active since joining, appeared a few times recently.
rocket guy2 - I feel like rocket guy disappeared for a while
rainalonto - He has 65 posts, but he joined in 2010, and I wouldn't really call him a consistent and active member.
Maplehoof - Joined last September, has 2 posts


I feel like krotomo should also go on this list, but I think that my bias from remembering him as a really active member kept him out of it. Anyways, I think that displays how inactive Livio is pretty well.

Rainalonto's been coming on fairly regularly recently though, coming on to share his new caves with us and just to greet us for like 3 minutes. I wouldn't really consider him an inactive member.

Add to that list:
TheSkySaysNothing - Dunno who he is, but TheSky joined last October, and apparently logged in this past saturday. 0 posts. TheSky says nothing, I guess.
Alex Babis - Joined last September, never said anything. Has a U of Arizona email address, so I'm guessing it's someone that Livio knows or something. Either way he's been more active than Livio in the past 2 weeks, despite that his post count is also 0.


Game time: Guess the time of Livio's next appearance!

I'm going to be optimistic and go with this Friday, around 8pm.

Answer time: In 3 years!

I love being optimistic. <3

Livio, the chat box should not stretch when long URLs are posted. Here's the solution:
  

These and a few others you have mentioned work with me on a project for the UA Videogame Developers club. They only post on a secret forum, so their post counts are 0. This is how I joined the interguild.

Oh yeah, I completely forgot that there's a secret forum that not even I have access to.

Either way their appearances are rare, so they still get to be on the list.

Also, add to that list new member NonagonalLesion, who may or may not also be part of this secret cult.


If Livio doesn't log on soon, he'll get bumped to the second column.

Also, so that we know exactly how long he was gone when he comes back:
Last Seen: Saturday, March 10, 2012 3:30 pm

I was not of aware of this secret forum. The Interguild is pretty much a cult itself, so we have a cult within a cult? Conspiracy theory time.

"Second Column"...? Huh?

TBH, I think Thomas is our only hope of him getting Livio active again, because they're the ones who e-mail a lot.

And haha yeah, what Yaya said. =P

Saturday, 12:11am - Quirvy And I was actually thinking that it would be cool if Livio made that some sort of feature for staff, similar to mileage counters in cars.

Continuing from this:

There would be a main counter that would start counting once it gets set up, and never reset. This could be displayed in users' profiles as another stat. And then there would be one that you (and by you, I mean the staff) could reset periodically, so that we could do that for weekly updates and stuff. So like every week, we'd take the stats out of it, use it for the weekly update, and reset the numbers.

But this seems like a lot of trouble, so it doesn't go very high on this list.

RIP Livio's Inactivity streak.
Saturday, March 10, 2012 3:30 pm-Saturday, March 31, 2012 2:02am (20 days, 10 hours, 32 minutes)

Suggestion: In (normal images?) chatbox images, don't resize it!

Okay so this is the 21st century. Start using transparent karma buttons. and

Some posts recently made in the chatbox have reminded me that there are still a bunch of banned accounts that should be deleted from the site, which reminded me of this topic. So I guess that now that Livio is kind of active again, this would be a good time to revive it?
