:2005-04-21 14:06:30 <-- squeakymewmew has quit (Autokilled: For the safety and well-being of all network members and staff, your presence on our network is no longer welcome. You will receive an email detailing these reasons within the next 24 hours.)
* The Unfortunate IRC Incident and subsequent Sudden Unexpected Regime Change.
:2005-04-21 14:06:37 <whymy> so that means that the socks had been washed first
** Transcript of related [[SluggySquad]] conversation deleted by request (although of course if you're familiar with MediaWiki you can probably find it... but it shouldn't be spidered, and therefore shouldn't be findable by searching).
:2005-04-21 14:06:54 <Ilparazzo> some get lost in the washer, too
:2005-04-21 14:07:05 <Ilparazzo> in the laundry bin, even!
:2005-04-21 14:07:50 <Ilparazzo> but maybe... hmm...
:2005-04-21 14:08:32 <Ilparazzo> just possibly, these socks are stolen to recycle them into subatomic-particle-quantum-state-change-permission-request-forms
:2005-04-21 14:09:10 <Ilparazzo> that would be the GUTUBLS
:2005-04-21 14:09:28 <Ilparazzo> the Grand Unified Theory of Universal Bureaucracy and Lost Socks
:2005-04-21 14:09:44 * SI_Coma successfully pronounces that acronym.
:2005-04-21 14:10:25 <Dr_Quackzalver> Ah. A challenge.
:2005-04-21 14:10:29 <Ilparazzo> great. that means all the mysteries of the universe are solved.
:2005-04-21 14:10:35 <Ilparazzo> except one.
:2005-04-21 14:10:48 <Ilparazzo> what remains, is to understand... women!
:2005-04-21 14:10:56 <Ilparazzo> any ideas?
:2005-04-21 14:11:14 <Dr_Quackzalver> No. None at all.
:2005-04-21 14:11:23 <whymy> they are there just to tempt us and drive us insane
:2005-04-21 14:11:52 <Ilparazzo> yes, but WHY?
:2005-04-21 14:12:21 <whymy> because... um...
:2005-04-21 14:12:35 <whymy> naughty parts are naughty for a reason?
:2005-04-21 14:12:43 <Dr_Quackzalver> I know a bit about the WHATS of women, but none of the WHYs.
:2005-04-21 14:12:46 * SI_Coma has an innate understanding of seatbelts, if that helps.
:2005-04-21 14:13:12 <Ilparazzo> not really
:2005-04-21 14:13:28 <SI_Coma> durn...
:2005-04-21 14:13:54 <Ilparazzo> guess it's back to the drawing board, then
:2005-04-21 14:13:58 <Cynapede> FYI:  Some of you have seen squeakymewmew be removed from the network, and we have had private inquiries, so want to clear the air here....
:2005-04-21 14:14:46 <Cynapede> The removal from the network is permanant.  For matters of personal privacy and confidentiality, I cannot divulge specifics as to why this action was taken.  However, it involves personal well-being of a member on this network.
:2005-04-21 14:14:57 <Cynapede> I want each and every one of you to know though...
:2005-04-21 14:15:10 <Ilparazzo> wow... that sounds ... serious
:2005-04-21 14:15:15 <ShadowMaster> Several members actually
:2005-04-21 14:15:17 <Cynapede> You (the members) AND sluggy channels have been a vital part of our community here for nearly 2 years...
:2005-04-21 14:15:30 <Cynapede> You continue to be welcome and wanted as members of our community :)
:2005-04-21 14:15:42 <Dhraakellian> eep...
:2005-04-21 14:16:08 <Dr_Quackzalver> I see.
:2005-04-21 14:16:11 <ShadowMaster> What happens to the sluggites will be up to the sluggites themselves and the staff members
:2005-04-21 14:16:33 <Ilparazzo> i completely fail to see how smm's presence here could endanger the well-being of (a) member(s) of the network...
:2005-04-21 14:17:18 <ShadowMaster> Due to past history and information we have, we have put the sluggy channels in a state where they cannot be harmed pending Sluggy staff having had time to discuss matters
:2005-04-21 14:17:31 <Dr_Quackzalver> But the squeking? And the mewing?
:2005-04-21 14:18:17 <whymy> I'm just confused
:2005-04-21 14:18:34 * Dr_Quackzalver is wondering if this isn't just a joke?
:2005-04-21 14:18:40 <Ilparazzo> you are not the only one
:2005-04-21 14:18:45 <whymy> same
:2005-04-21 14:18:58 <Dr_Quackzalver> Good :)
:2005-04-21 14:18:59 <ShadowMaster> This is not a joke unfortunately
:2005-04-21 14:18:59 --- Tene[JustBumming] is now known as Tene[JustScandalising]
:2005-04-21 14:19:24 <Aero> whoah, what's going on?
:2005-04-21 14:19:31 <Dhraakellian> well, even if this wasn't the case, Mew was planning to go on hiatus for about a month
:2005-04-21 14:19:35 <Dr_Quackzalver> Well, that is unfortunate. :(
:2005-04-21 14:19:53 * Aero reads the scrollback and faints
:2005-04-21 14:19:54 <Ilparazzo> Aero: noone know except for those who do, and they can't tell
:2005-04-21 14:19:59 <Dhraakellian> so, for the short term, at least, we were expecting to be without Mew fairly soon
:2005-04-21 14:20:28 * ShadowMaster nods
:2005-04-21 14:21:02 * Dr_Quackzalver s need for carbohydrates overides his other wishes. He goes to eat food.
:2005-04-21 14:21:07 <-- Dr_Quackzalver has quit (Quit: Off to Worship the comic!)
:2005-04-21 14:22:11 <Cynapede> whymy, nice /WHOIS
:2005-04-21 14:22:14 <ShadowMaster> Out of respect for Mew i refuse to go into any details in public nor private. I will say however that this decition was not reached lightly and its part of a long running history of events that have culminated in the past weeks
:2005-04-21 14:22:20 <Cynapede> Some of you newer folks may not realize who I am....
:2005-04-21 14:22:40 <Aero> perhaps you'd like to put something in the topic to cut down on repeated questions? just a suggestion
:2005-04-21 14:22:47 <whymy> heh
:2005-04-21 14:22:53 <Cynapede> I am not the leader of any of the sluggy channels; however, I am the Network Administrator on VillageIRC, which is the IRC network that has hosted the sluggy channels
:2005-04-21 14:23:17 <Aero> oh, you lead all of virc? i thought that was shadowmaster for some reason ;P
:2005-04-21 14:23:31 <Cynapede> Shadow is correct.  This was one of the toughest decisions that I've had to make here as a Network Admin.
:2005-04-21 14:23:45 <Cynapede> ShadowMaster is our technical Administrator here
:2005-04-21 14:23:51 <Cynapede> Douglas is a Server Admin.
:2005-04-21 14:23:54 <Aero> i see
:2005-04-21 14:23:55 <Cynapede> I am the Network Admin.
:2005-04-21 14:24:04 <Cynapede> We work as a team.
:2005-04-21 14:24:17 <Aero> indeed, such has become apparent
:2005-04-21 14:24:30 <Dhraakellian> Mew just IMed me
:2005-04-21 14:24:37 <Cynapede> Generally on IRC, in terms of hierarchy, Network Administrator is the top of the food chain.
:2005-04-21 14:24:38 <Aero> i'm sure we're all grateful for your efforts
:2005-04-21 14:24:51 <Ilparazzo> Dhraakellian: anything you can/want to share?
:2005-04-21 14:24:51 <Cynapede> One final note....
:2005-04-21 14:25:07 <Cynapede> I realize that many of you have known mew for longer than the sluggy channels have been a part of this network....
:2005-04-21 14:25:10 <Dhraakellian> (14:23:34) Roolet:  I am searching for a new network for squad and the whole channel will be moving within the next few days.
:2005-04-21 14:25:10 <Dhraakellian> (14:23:45) Roolet:  please convey this to the channel.
:2005-04-21 14:25:17 <Cynapede> The Admin team here respects that relationship very much.
:2005-04-21 14:25:29 <Cynapede> We hope that you will continue to be friends with her.
:2005-04-21 14:25:42 <Cynapede> You are also still very much welcome here as well.
:2005-04-21 14:25:47 <Cynapede> :)
:2005-04-21 14:25:58 <Tene[JustScandalising]> I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm here on this network for more reasons than just her.
:2005-04-21 14:26:00 <Aero> for once in my time here, i am free to express the following sentiment: i hope that the sluggy community will remain here, regardless of the events that have transpired.
:2005-04-21 14:26:16 <Tene[JustScandalising]> I'm not going to leave this network just 'cause she orders me to.
:2005-04-21 14:26:57 <Dhraakellian> Tene: she's still on AIM, if you want to tell her that directly
:2005-04-21 14:27:20 * Dhraakellian has a feeling that there are going to be a lot of tacts being stepped on, to butcher a phrase
:2005-04-21 14:27:22 <Cynapede> Whether or not each of you stay is an individual choice.  There will be no hard feelings from the IRC Opers and Admins, despite the decision you reach.  We hope you will stay with us, but certainly will respect your decision should you not.
:2005-04-21 14:27:53 <Tene[JustScandalising]> hehe
:2005-04-21 14:27:56 <Tene[JustScandalising]> of course
:2005-04-21 14:28:17 * Tene[JustScandalising] imagines a Cynnah sneaksing into his house and saying "Bad TeneShoes!  You left the network!  That's not allowed!"
:2005-04-21 14:28:27 <Tene[JustScandalising]> and then transforming into SuperMechaCynnah.
:2005-04-21 14:28:34 <Ilparazzo> ... with a baseball bat
:2005-04-21 14:28:40 <Cynapede> ROFL
:2005-04-21 14:28:46 <Cynapede> Y'all are silly...but great :D
:2005-04-21 14:29:02 <Dhraakellian> being very much aware how much blunt copying and pasting of things to people can hurt, how much of this is Mew being copied in on?
:2005-04-21 14:29:33 <Cynapede> Dhraak, none of the IRC Opers or Admins are conveying anything to mew.
:2005-04-21 14:29:47 <Cynapede> That, I can guarantee.
:2005-04-21 14:30:32 <Tene[JustScandalising]> From her general attitude and things that she has said and done, I feel no desire to "follow" her, and am much more comfortable with the network now that she's gone.
:2005-04-21 14:31:02 <whymy> I'm going to follow
:2005-04-21 14:31:15 <Tene[JustScandalising]> You'll be missed.
:2005-04-21 14:31:24 <whymy> oh well
:2005-04-21 14:31:35 <CommS007> (>o__o)
:2005-04-21 14:31:42 * Ilparazzo isn't understanding any of this and therefore witholds comment
:2005-04-21 14:31:51 <Aero> lol comms, i didn't even know you were in here XD
:2005-04-21 14:31:53 <Douglas> There is no reason why you can't be on both, just an FYI.
:2005-04-21 14:32:06 <CommS007> yeah I snuck in a bit earlier  (o__o<)
:2005-04-21 14:32:06 <Cynapede> Douglas, that's correct.
:2005-04-21 14:32:14 <Cynapede> We're not asking y'all to choose between us.
:2005-04-21 14:32:19 <Cynapede> Quite the contrary.
:2005-04-21 14:32:20 <Tene[JustScandalising]> There is for me.
:2005-04-21 14:32:21 * Douglas abuses CommS
:2005-04-21 14:32:26 <Cynapede> We have no way of making you choose one or the other.
:2005-04-21 14:32:30 <CommS007> (x__x<)  *tries to flee*
:2005-04-21 14:32:36 <Aero> i choose you, pika!
:2005-04-21 14:32:39 <Aero> !teneis Pikachu
:2005-04-21 14:32:39 --- Tene[JustScandalising] is now known as TeneIsPikachu
:2005-04-21 14:32:45 * Cynapede puts a FLEE collar on Comm.
:2005-04-21 14:32:45 <TeneIsPikachu> She'll ask us to.
:2005-04-21 14:32:48 <TeneIsPikachu> Pika!
:2005-04-21 14:32:49 <mundungu> Well, it was fun while it lasted folks.
:2005-04-21 14:33:05 * CommS007 paws at it (~x__x)
:2005-04-21 14:33:15 <Douglas> Soops  :(
:2005-04-21 14:33:37 <TeneIsPikachu> I'll miss you, Super.
:2005-04-21 14:34:03 <Cynapede> *huggles SU* Understand your loyalty to mew, but hate to seeya go.  Take care.
:2005-04-21 14:34:21 <Cynapede> You're always welcome here :)
:2005-04-21 14:35:19 <TeneIsPikachu> Knowing mew, I rather suspect that she'll consider anyone who remains on this network to be a "Traitor"
:2005-04-21 14:35:45 <Ilparazzo> ???
:2005-04-21 14:35:47 <Aero> who mew thinks is a 'traitor' is no longer relevant in these parts.
:2005-04-21 14:36:33 <TeneIsPikachu> Cynnah: PM?
:2005-04-21 14:36:35 <Cynapede> *eyeballs the La-Z-Pede, but doesn't see her blanket on it*
:2005-04-21 14:36:44 <Cynapede> Sure, Tene...real quick :)
:2005-04-21 14:36:48 <Cynapede> (about time to sleep)
:2005-04-21 14:37:19 <TeneIsPikachu> thx
:2005-04-21 14:37:23 * TeneIsPikachu huggle cynnah.
:2005-04-21 14:37:44 * TeneIsPikachu gets all covered in sticky cynnamon frosting.
:2005-04-21 14:38:21 <Cynapede> LOL
:2005-04-21 14:38:22 <whymy> message from mew
:2005-04-21 14:38:27 <whymy> squeakymewmew (1:37 PM): "The sluggysquad channel on this network will be closed and a forbid will be put on it.  No one will be able to use it as it stands.  I don't care if people continue to join VillageIRC to talk with people who remain, but the official sluggysquad will be on the new network.  I've already found a new home for us and am establishing the channel as we speak.
:2005-04-21 14:38:33 <whymy> squeakymewmew (1:37 PM): I think you'll like the new network quite a bit, we're moving to scifi-net
:2005-04-21 14:38:56 <Aero> i might point out that sluggysquad was purposely never 'official', and that there was a reason for that.
:2005-04-21 14:39:26 <TeneIsPikachu> and I'd like to point out that there's no way to 'close' a chennel, especially for her.
:2005-04-21 14:39:29 <Aero> nothing makes this channel any less official than any other sluggy channel that exists.
:2005-04-21 14:39:44 <Dhraakellian> TeneIsPikachu, Pete's trademark and such?
:2005-04-21 14:39:45 <TeneIsPikachu> except putting a +b *!*.* on it, I guess
:2005-04-21 14:39:50 * mundungu can't leave *this* network, Wonda is here.
:2005-04-21 14:40:15 <Aero> well, there sort of is, but she doesn't seem to be in any position to do anything about this channel, other than call it names.
:2005-04-21 14:40:24 <Cynapede> Su, as we said...you're welcome on both networks (this one and wherever mew takes her sluggy business)
:2005-04-21 14:40:30 <Cynapede> No reason you can't chat on both.
:2005-04-21 14:40:32 <TeneIsPikachu> Dhr: not really, no.
:2005-04-21 14:40:34 <Cynapede> You're more than welcome here :)
:2005-04-21 14:40:43 <mundungu> But then... it's no longer so convenient!  *cries*
:2005-04-21 14:40:49 <Dhraakellian> oy...
:2005-04-21 14:41:17 <Aero> i don't recall seeing a 'trademark' symbol on anything sluggy... and as i stated in a previous discussion, you can't copyright a phrase of only a few words such as 'sluggy freelance'.
:2005-04-21 14:41:41 <Dhraakellian> Aero, thus the "and such"
:2005-04-21 14:41:44 * Douglas reminds dung dude that he owes him a noogie the next time they meet again!
:2005-04-21 14:42:01 <Douglas> NOOGIE!  FEAR MY NOOGIE, SOOPS!
:2005-04-21 14:42:01 <Douglas> hehe
:2005-04-21 14:42:02 <mundungu> Aww shucks Douglas
:2005-04-21 14:42:17 <Dhraakellian> the chans have been "unofficially official" or "officially unofficial"
:2005-04-21 14:42:35 <mundungu> Creamy filling.
:2005-04-21 14:42:40 <Aero> but have you thought about what you mean by that?
:2005-04-21 14:42:49 <Dhraakellian> my understanding is that Pete knows about it and doesn't mind.  I'm not sure what he'd think of the split
:2005-04-21 14:43:18 <TeneIsPikachu> except he really can't do anything regardless of what he thinks anyway
:2005-04-21 14:43:27 <Douglas> If needed, I can provide a java interface for java chatters here on TheRealms.net, or people can use villageirc's interface
:2005-04-21 14:43:47 <Aero> he could register 'sluggy freelance' as a trademark, but that probably costs money and i doubt he cares that much.
:2005-04-21 14:44:01 <TeneIsPikachu> mew, regardless of what she so often claims, does not own "sluggysquad" or any of the people that chat there.
:2005-04-21 14:44:07 <ShadowMaster> http://beta2.villageirc.net/Java-Chat for anyone who wishes to use it
:2005-04-21 14:44:14 <Dhraakellian> (14:42:53) Roolet:  the new network is scifi-net
:2005-04-21 14:44:25 <Aero> oh neat, villageirc has a wiki?
:2005-04-21 14:44:35 <Dhraakellian> (14:42:58) Roolet:  servers are:  <I'm not gonna flood it unless people want>
:2005-04-21 14:44:38 <ShadowMaster> Not quite
:2005-04-21 14:44:44 * Cynapede finds blanket, takes it over to da La-Z-Pede, crawls in, leeeeeeans back, 'n gets comfy....
:2005-04-21 14:44:45 <Aero> people can google, nick..
:2005-04-21 14:44:45 <TeneIsPikachu> "12:39 <+whymy> squeakymewmew (1:37 PM): I think you'll like the new network quite a bit, we're moving to scifi-net"
:2005-04-21 14:44:48 <CommS007> ( o.o)
:2005-04-21 14:44:55 <Dhraakellian> yeah
:2005-04-21 14:44:57 <ShadowMaster> But its the soon to be launched new website
:2005-04-21 14:45:00 <TeneIsPikachu> *huggles Cynnah*
:2005-04-21 14:45:03 <Dhraakellian> (14:43:08) Roolet:  sluggysquad has been founded.
:2005-04-21 14:45:03 <Dhraakellian> (14:43:11) Roolet:  I'm making the other chans now.
:2005-04-21 14:45:14 <Aero> oic
:2005-04-21 14:45:20 <Aero> it looked a lot like mediawiki for a minute there
:2005-04-21 14:45:27 <Aero> the design is based on monobook, isn't it?
:2005-04-21 14:45:27 --- Cynapede is now known as Cynapede_ZzZzZz
:2005-04-21 14:45:35 <Cynapede_ZzZzZz> Time for sleep...Nytol :)
:2005-04-21 14:45:35 <Aero> somewhat-slightly? ;P
:2005-04-21 14:45:37 <CommS007> nytol
:2005-04-21 14:45:41 <CommS007> (^z_z)^
:2005-04-21 14:45:47 <TeneIsPikachu> I'm strongly considering not showing up there at all.
:2005-04-21 14:46:00 <Dhraakellian> as am I
:2005-04-21 14:46:03 <ShadowMaster> Its a monobook theme yes, chosen for its simplicity and the fact that we dont have anyone to design a layout
:2005-04-21 14:46:05 <Dhraakellian> but I'm not sure
:2005-04-21 14:46:07 <whymy> If you don't want to, don't
:2005-04-21 14:46:24 <TeneIsPikachu> the only thing that would make me show up there even sometimes would be if there were people that I really liked that went there and abandoned here.
:2005-04-21 14:46:32 <TeneIsPikachu> but I don't anticipate that.
:2005-04-21 14:46:36 <Dhraakellian> oy... I'm almost wondering if some of this should be dragged to #politics

Events

  • The Unfortunate IRC Incident and subsequent Sudden Unexpected Regime Change.
    • Transcript of related SluggySquad conversation deleted by request (although of course if you're familiar with MediaWiki you can probably find it... but it shouldn't be spidered, and therefore shouldn't be findable by searching).
