Title: Make the bots go away!!
Post by: zuhane on June 28, 2012, 05:48:59 PM
Can an admin do some special adminny stuff to make them stop? How have this many got in? Can we use captchas or something?
Sorry, I'm computer illiterate (even though I'm doing Computer Science). On a lighter note, at least it's funny how stupid the posts are.

What is your favorite thing about The Bots that have posted?

I like that They post in the wrong sections and have real names as Their forum name.

Please share your experiences .

Maybe they're just trying to have a normal conversation and we're the bots...

They post in hilariously random locations.

The staff essentially fired all the admins in a fit of stupid rage. Bug Lucas, the last remaining one, about it.

Wait.. .what the heck happened?
Yea, I noticed Bluhman and other admins were kind of MIA.
And what happened to your post count Sai?

It was reset to 0, I assume as a "go **** yourself" present when I was unceremoniousness stripped of my admin powers without notification by Alex and/or Moose.

What happened in all honesty. I remember coming back to charas and seeing everything was generic Forum2.0
But, how did you get stripped? I mean, I wasn't here for this terrible drama, now I'm confused.

Drama.
All I have is Lucas's account of events, which is bound to be a slight biased.

Drama. Ben came back, had a falling-out with Mid on a totally unrelated topic, a change of administration was agreed upon by certain parties, Sai seems to be taking it poorly. As I recall, Mid was quite unhappy with it, as well. They seem to have a mutual relationship, anyway, so this comes as no shock. All admins, sans Alex (and Osmose, I think) were bumped down to moderators, and Lucas got the biggest bump seen in recent history (peon to admin). Lucas, shockingly, didn't force us back into PÜB, and went through with the forum updates and whatnot. This hit the fan a little bit, and now it's starting to dry onto the walls and ceiling. It doesn't stink like it used to, but the place certainly doesn't look right.

A brief history of what all happened.

The bots may be too smart for us.  :x We have a captcha as well as an easy question that you have to answer in order to create an account, but they still get through. Soon they will murder us all.

GUYS, THE TOP PART OF THE FORUM VANISHED
Title: Re: Make the bots go away!!
Post by: fruckert on June 29, 2012, 03:22:57 AM
I didn't know that button actually did stuff.

Sai seems to be taking it poorly
Considering I was fired because of a backroom conversation and not even *told* about it until I tried to log on and found my admin powers were gone, yes. Mildly upset.

Sorry guys, I'm sort of really insanely distracted by real life at the moment. Sincere apologies.
Sigh. Look, no offense, but I've had a life for the past decade-ish myself too. People were decisively unsympathetic to any claims that I was busy and felt fully free to tell me what a terrible job I was doing. You made a LOT of promises about 8-directional sprite generators branching out to other games and stuff when you took office in that little coup, so I'd at least try to make some headway on them.

That last part is my fault.
Having troubles with the code's design.
Being cut off from the internet doesn't help.

TBH I think Sai handled the situation pretty well. He's still here after all.

Really the whole thing that happened was pretty dumb, but as long as we keep whipping Lucas to make things happen, it'll be worth it. Or will it? Probably not.
The end.

Or is it?

I honestly didn't realize Lucas was an Admin until this thread. x3
Shows how much I pay attention. I remember back when, when charas has a lot of traffic and such. Problem is mostly the large amounts of RPG maker forums kind of dilutes thins, also. RPG Maker is simply dying down, and that's just a fact.
Not as popular or sought out.

Mhm. I need to get by butt into gear and work on my game. Maybe posting it here will get some traffic.

I try, really hard working with XP.
It just boils down to me being really good at common events, custom events menus, combat systems, ect. But not being a super good mapper, and I suck at storyline, and just general production. ;-; But, I make such efficient combat systems and just, I enjoy messing with ABS games. I just can never execute properly.

Indeed! you can change the colour scheme to charas blue in profile/look and layout (or something).  The only issue is that some of the buttons don't have graphics.
Title: Re: Make the bots go away!!
Post by: fruckert on June 29, 2012, 07:42:57 PM
Yeah, somebody who knows what they're doing should fix that.

So I missed drama?

Can't I turn my head away for a measly few six months and you guys go and DRAMA without me?

Shut up, we all missed you. Well I missed you. <3

Hey, I saw in in the MC forums.


I don't think you saw me, though.

 :blush:
What's your minecraft name? you should bump my thread to help me out ;~;
Or just stop by and tell me what you think. What I really want is insight on the pack, feedback. Lots of it. ; A;

No, I'm Grandy over there as well.

I have no avatar there, tho. Never got around to adding one.

Have you gotten around to downloading my pack. x3
There's a lot changed, I really like all that I've done. It's been a lot of work.

I posted a demo!  Now I'm just playing through the entire game past the demo and my god I forgot how much crap I did.  I think with the amount of completed maps etc the game is at least 20 hours long.  Real life is a pain.
