Vandalism
IP 187.3.40.184 left this vandalism.

IP 202.45.119.26 Did a ton of vandalism to the Portal 2 page, and then tried to hide it by undoing it. Might do more, too. Part of it appears here: http://half-life.wikia.com/index.php?title=Portal_2&action=historysubmit&diff=199699&oldid=199398

I hate IP editors so much. They might be back. ~ Ṃᶒɠą§ɔ î é ɳ č ę { tal k }  00:18, May 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * I appointed you rollback, so that you can revert vandalism in one click. For instance, just click "rollback" at the last of several vandalism edits by a user (in an article's history page), and they will all be reverted in one stroke, and automatically saved. Klow 08:47, May 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ah, so you did tell me you did it. I always forget to check your talk page, I'm so used to the little "New Message!" warning telling me to look. Too bad Rollback doesn't work with badly done correction wars, like when an IP does multiple edits and then someone else only undoes the last one. Then you have to do manual rollback. ~ Ṃᶒɠą§<font color="#00dd00">ɔ î é ɳ č ę <font color="#ff0000">{ <font color="#ff4400">t<font color="#ff8800">al k }  22:40, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

About Chell-Exit picture
Hello again Klow!

Well, here's the screenshot...

I don't understand how this could help, but maybe I'm an idiot. (HaggisHaglund 11:25, May 27, 2011 (UTC))


 * This helped more than you can imagine! Thanks! Klow 18:50, May 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * I do no longer see the button. Guess that's the point? (HaggisHaglund 22:01, May 27, 2011 (UTC))
 * Exactly! Perfect. So now, where would you go to upload a pic? Klow 22:17, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

Another new article, that needs review :-|

Greetings. TuningBEB2008 23:49, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

I am a fail
Hey, it's everyone's favorite n00b (I'm probably not). Just a quick question: how do you request for a new article to be created? I ask because I have an idea for an article but am not good at making articles. Thanks! (P.S. I'll try to avoid going to you for every question, but I couldn't find this in any of the help sites.)Smelltheashes 04:23, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Smelltheashes, either go to main page and press "Add a page" on the top or press "Add a page" in the sidebar on any article. SiPlus 06:45, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * But I'm not trying to create a new article, I'm trying to publicly suggest a certain article be created. Like I said, I am not good with making articles. Smelltheashes 07:33, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Why don't you tell us right away what article you'd like to be created?... Klow 10:42, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Neurotoxin. I think that it alone has enough significance in the Portal storyline that it alone deserves its own article: it's GLaDOS' major weapon, it's what killed almost all of the facility workers, and GLaDOS continually mentions it. I don't know, I think it could work. But I also want this to be public, as a sort of request. Meh, I guess it doesn't matter that much. Smelltheashes 14:16, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

Chell's pic
I don't want to be rude.

But the hell did you remove my picture for? It was perfectly fine. (The one of Chell's science project.) I get that you're an admin-dude that is almost Cave Johnson. D:

--DadAreYouSpace 18:20, May 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not the one who deleted it, SiPlus did. I actually uploaded all 7 experiment pics under their original names, and yours was deleted instead of being renamed. So, to avoid you being upset about your file being deleted in the process, I've been kind enough to restore your pic and rename it, deleting mine in the process, because I don't care about having my name under all these 7 experiment images made by someone else. However I had to reupload it cropped so that it matches the other images (so it was not really "fine"). And we usually delete old versions of images (like it is the case on many wikis, in case you were wondering), so despite the very complicated actions I just made, your name will eventually not be seen in the file history, unless you download and reupload the images I cropped to be the last uploader. So overall this was a very complicated process for pretty much nothing. Authoring images we didn't even made is really trivial, isn't it? Let's not waste each other's time on this and let's improve the wiki instead. I hope you are not even more upset and will not cease editing just for that! Klow 18:46, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

Template:Response
Yeah, i saw the hiding other members on the RW template :)

Is a good idea include other members =) but who???, Maybe the staff from Portal and Portal 2???

I say notable members, not all the staff :P

TuningBEB2008 22:23, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah I'd go for people who made huge contributions. Start by creating the ones I suggested, then we'll see! Good job, sir! Klow 00:13, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

Central Core Room
It's not really a real name. But it is more official than "GLaDOS' Chamber". Maybe we should add a conjectural notification tag to the article? McFlurryMax 00:08, May 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * This is a bit too precise and eccentric for a conjecture name. When is GLaDOS referred to as "Central Core"?... Klow 00:11, May 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ah, I didn't name it. I saw you talking with McFlurryMax, so I didn't argue the change. I was actually thinking of adding a merge template with GLaDOS' Chamber until I noticed it was a name change. Anyway, I think what might be best is if someone more versed in Portal canon and such looks up any occurrences of a room name. Until then, maybe Core Room. But we shouldn't keep changing it, so... might as well leave it until we can get a definite name. ~ <span style="border-bottom:2px dotted green; border-left:4px double green; border-right:4px double green; border-top:2px dotted green"><font color="#008800">Ṃ<font color="#009900">ᶒ<font color="#00aa00">ɠ<font color="#00bb00">ą<font color="#00cc00">§<font color="#00dd00">ɔ î é ɳ č ę <font color="#ff0000">{ <font color="#ff4400">t<font color="#ff8800">al k }  17:51, May 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oops I got confused in who did what. I'm versed in Portal, and if there was I name, I'd know it. I'll do more research. Klow 18:16, May 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * I had the idea that a name might have been mentioned somewhere before, although it's much more likely none has been given. Just hoping there might be one somewhere... Announcer chatter? ~ <span style="border-bottom:2px dotted green; border-left:4px double green; border-right:4px double green; border-top:2px dotted green"><font color="#008800">Ṃ<font color="#009900">ᶒ<font color="#00aa00">ɠ<font color="#00bb00">ą<font color="#00cc00">§<font color="#00dd00">ɔ î é ɳ č ę <font color="#ff0000">{ <font color="#ff4400">t<font color="#ff8800">al k }  19:27, May 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * All I've found that can lead to it's name may be the Announcer instructing the player to return to the "Central Core Bay" after pressing the stalemate button, which was why I named it into "Central Core Room". And plus, a lot of elements relating to GLaDOS are always named "Central Core", such as "Central Core manual", "Central Core bay", "Central Core replacement", etc. Could it be possible we can still use Central Core Room? And it would be a better way to describe GLaDOS than just a "sentient A.I.", since almost everything in Aperture has a mind of it's own. So that would mean GLaDOS is an A.I. under the category of the Central Core. ~McFlurryMax 01:02, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree with naming this to the Central Core Room. Since any core can be in Gladdy's body, it wouldn't be right to call it Glados's chamber instead of the Central Core Room.  You wouldn't call the boss's office "Frank's Room", would you?  Plus, since the sp tends to bring you back to the room, just in different states, its the central core room.  McFlurryMax has a good reason as well.ADemonicLemon 01:22, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * I still haven't heard from your response. Can I rename the GLaDOS' chamber page back into Central Core Room? Many elements in the game refer to her as the Central Core, as I mentioned above. Thanks in advance. McFlurryMax 15:37, June 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok go ahead, I'm fixing the links. Klow 15:54, June 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I did it!... However some explanation about that name within the article would be good. Klow 17:03, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

Idea for Bot (User)Pages
I was thinking about the poster seen in Portal 2 and thought it would fit nice either onto either the userpage of or pages about bots. It is the one about paradoxes GLaDOS points out: http://i.imgur.com/l36ML.png Do you think this could be uploaded here and used in such a way? Or a direct version? It's a very trivial thing, you don't have to even consider it.

Help with negative redirects
An IP changed "Test Shaft 09" to "Test Chamber 09," initiating me to look it up here to be sure. Where as the edit was correct, I was sent to the Portal storyline page. Upon checking What Links Here, I discovered we have many cases of old redirects to this article which should now redirect to Testing Tracks or some other page. Here is the link to the full listing of redirects: http://half-life.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Portal_storyline&limit=500 Can this be fixed? I don't have time to now, nor do I know what way you'd wish this to be done.

 * Typically, each redirect such as Test Chamber 09 should link to a disambiguation page, since now there are 3 known Test Chamber 09. Then from the disambig page, each link should go to proper Testing Track article. Klow 07:38, May 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * The whole tree of articles for Testing Tracks & Chambers needs to be redone. The disambiguation page for Testing Tracks... forgot what it was called, but it is far too generic.

Name of the "Fat Turret"
I was trying to edit some Sentry Turret articles and came upon the problem of what to call the "Fat Turret." We now have three names we use interchangeably. "Fat Turret" for its appearance and I believe some mention, "Soprano Turret" from the guide which has other errors, and "Turret Wife" which might be accepted due to filenames and official music names... I'd prefer to use Turret Wife in all cases except trivia on how its size indicates a Fat Lady singing, but I know that there's no direct statement of it's name to justify this... What's your opinion? ~ <span style="border-bottom:2px dotted green; border-left:4px double green; border-right:4px double green; border-top:2px dotted green"><font color="#008800">Ṃ<font color="#009900">ᶒ<font color="#00aa00">ɠ<font color="#00bb00">ą<font color="#00cc00">§<font color="#00dd00">ɔ î é ɳ č ę <font color="#ff0000">{ <font color="#ff4400">t<font color="#ff8800">al k }  01:05, June 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'd really go for "Turret Wife" as much as possible, for the reasons you mentioned. Klow 09:10, June 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ah, I'd also have to contend with other editor's opinions.

Re: STF template
I did notice that page was using a table, which is also why I did not bother with it. It has no room for comments/trivia, and since all the other pages followed a different format, I decided to clean them up in the fashion I have. If I was to change this format to follow a table, how would we put the comments in? Some are actually important in some way, but I don't believe they will fit.

Also, to use a template, where do you think the Empty should go when determining if it should exist? Having it set automatically is probably required, as some people think it is only for empty and remove it after only providing a description or location... Lots of problems ~ <span style="border-bottom:2px dotted green; border-left:4px double green; border-right:4px double green; border-top:2px dotted green"><font color="#008800">Ṃ<font color="#009900">ᶒ<font color="#00aa00">ɠ<font color="#00bb00">ą<font color="#00cc00">§<font color="#00dd00">ɔ î é ɳ č ę <font color="#ff0000">{ <font color="#ff4400">t<font color="#ff8800">al k }  22:00, June 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * A workaround can be found for the empty sections, I guess. And for the comments sections, it obviously can be created. The HL1 soundtrack page is not said to be complete, it just has the table system that should be followed. We can tweak it more, and reduce the text until we can display everything we want, as in these pages. What do you think? Klow 22:13, June 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * I was thinking of putting the Empty template above the song title, might be cleaner. But still, considering the available space, the comments won't for right... Unless we like... break up the sections a certain way... So confusing. ~ <span style="border-bottom:2px dotted green; border-left:4px double green; border-right:4px double green; border-top:2px dotted green"><font color="#008800">Ṃ<font color="#009900">ᶒ<font color="#00aa00">ɠ<font color="#00bb00">ą<font color="#00cc00">§<font color="#00dd00">ɔ î é ɳ č ę <font color="#ff0000">{ <font color="#ff4400">t<font color="#ff8800">al k }  22:40, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

Question
Hi Klow, I am a bureaucrat on another wiki and I had a question about yours. I noticed that the browser's heading displays a different message other than "Half-Life Wiki", instead it says "Combine OverWiki, the Half-Life and Portal wiki...". I was wondering how you do that? Also how do you get the search text to say "Search Combine OverWiki"? Thanks and sorry if this is a weird question. Omnicube1 00:10, June 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Why would "Half-Life Wiki" be the default name? "Half-Life and Portal wiki" is not "instead" of anything, it's just what we are. Anyway. Through Special:SpecialPages, you have System messages. In it is what you are looking for: MediaWiki:Pagetitle, MediaWiki:Pagetitle-view-mainpage, MediaWiki:Tagline, MediaWiki:Tooltip-search. You can actually customize any of the System messages to your needs. Hope this helps! Klow 19:01, June 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * It helps a lot! Thanks, I envy the design of your wiki. Omnicube1 02:43, June 11, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Central Core Room, again
If I had time, I'd look all over for this. Perhaps it's hidden by dirt or something when the game opens. But if it really isn't in the game, this can be questionable.

All Valve Staff???
What do you think about... Do a super article with all the members, something like wiki tables?

Article Randy Lundeen is super protect by you :P (i can´t create)

Greetings TuningBEB2008 21:18, June 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok unprotected, don't really know why I protected it, along with Holbrook and Coomer. About a Valve staff article, why not, but we have many people we won't know anything about, and not a complete list of them, and they change quite often. How could it be 100% inclusive?... Klow 21:26, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

The article Half-Life 2 Beta need to be fixed -_- TuningBEB2008 21:47, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

Half-Life: Decay storyline page
I have added a few images to the Half-Life: Decay storyline page, could you check it out and see if thy are appropriate, I did my best

Thanks

Portal 2 Guide: Timeline and Canonicity
I just found a copy of the Portal 2 Brady Games guide. It has a great once-and-for-all-canon timeline that reconciles the game's timeline with the ARG's. Should I edit the timeline, and if so, can you edit the Canon page to include the brady guide? 173.52.16.217 05:30, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * I included the guide in the canon list. Could you go into further detail about what's really worthwhile in the guide? Also, create an account, that'll be easier to communicate. Klow 09:41, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay. It provides concrete dates for all the major events: i.e., Cave's kidneys fail in 1980, and he outlines his 3-tier plan (indicating that moon rock silicoconiosis wasn't the sole cause of death). Aperture begins work on GLaDOS in 1986 after they learn Black Mesa is testing teleportation tech. I've made a full list in the timeline page (sorry for not signing in, by the way.)OrangeParka 15:27, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Wow, that's great. Could you scan some stuff?... Klow 21:30, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

Half-Life: Decay storyline
I just made quite a large change to the Half-Life: Decay storyline page layout and the first two chapters, Could you check this out so that it is not counted as vandalism Thanks in advance Adapool 11:33, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * While adding the chapter numbers is nice, it is not present in the other storyline articles. So for consistence, either add the numbers in the other articles, or remove them from the Decay article. The first suggestion is the best I guess. Klow 12:35, June 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * do I have permission to remove the underconstruction and Cleanup banners from this page. And should I also add chapters to the other storyline articles, or just remove them from this article, although I do think that the adding of chapters does improve the organization of the page Adapool 08:26, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Typically you don't have the permission to remove the Cleanup template, only admins do. What you can do is replace it with the Cleanup2 template, to notify that it has been cleaned up, and is awaiting review from the admins. I did it, and removed the underconstruction template. And as I said before, it would indeed be better to have the chapter numbers in all articles, so I'll say go ahead! Klow 09:16, June 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * I will add chapters to the Half-Life original game storylines first, If it works, keep it, If not, It can be removed at anytime. Adapool 09:23, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Your business is appreciated. Klow 10:28, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

Anti-Vandalism
Seriously, we NEED to do something about all these idiots that keep vandalizing these pages(removing all the content and replacing it with a ridiculous comment)! I know we have the undo button, but it's just frustrating to have to see so many parasites disrespecting the site. Isn't there some sort of policy that allows you to permanently ban anyone who trashes pages too many times?--Pccraine 16:27, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * We ban vandals from 1 months to lifetime. The penalty depends on severity of vandalism and on count of vandalism attempts. SiPlus 17:35, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

Pivot Cubes
Well, it appears that "Pivot Cubes" although are the names popularly known for it, it's been officially introduced in the game by GLaDOS as "Discouragement Redirection Cubes", and there aren't any in-game infomercial videos to state otherwise. Most of the game files and Hammer itself refers to these cubes as "reflective" instead of "pivot". I've talked to SiPlus on this but he doesn't agree. I really think we should change it to Discouragement Redirection Cube, GLaDOS wouldn't temper with the names of Aperture products and she is very loyal to Aperture, so I'm pretty sure Discouragement Redirection Cube would be it's right name. McFlurryMax 05:39, June 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * [sarcasm] SiPlus doesn't agree to something? Really? [/sarcasm] GLaDOS may be referring to them informally, in the way that Weighted Pivot Cubes are discouragement redirection cubes. However we could say that's in another name for them. Weighted Pivot Cube is also official, as it is given here. But it may have simply changed. I guess its proper name is given in Portal 2 guide, but I don't have it. So yeah, no clear answer from me, sorry. Klow 09:02, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

Half-Life: Blue Shift storyline
I made a few repairs and fixes to the Half-Life: Blue Shift storyline page, I cant really see anything else that could be changed, If you could read through it that would be great, another article that could be off the Cleanup list. Adapool 07:41, June 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * I've still found some things to cleanup in the article, Adapool. SiPlus 07:48, June 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * I did notice that but thought that I better keep the Easter eggs and notes, as they were not added by me and I thought it best to keep them the way they were, that's why I wanted someone to read it Adapool 08:08, June 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think that the Easter eggs need to be completely removed from this article and put into the Half-Life: Blue Shift, It isn't really part of the storyline, do I have permission to move the easter eggs into the main Half-Life: Blue Shift article? Adapool 08:19, June 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * I added the Easter eggs from the storyline page to the main Half-Life: Blue Shift page, I hope this is ok, they can now be deleted from the storyline page if you agree, If not then just remove them from the main page Adapool 10:00, June 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well it's good to still have them in the storyline articles for convenience. Klow 14:57, June 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * how about moving the Easter Eggs to the bottom of the page, with links in each section that lead to the section of Easter Eggs in that chapter. such as a statement such as For Easter Eggs in this chapter, click here(links to bottom of page). If not, then I can't think of anything else, I have checked through all the information of this article. Adapool 09:30, June 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Bad idea. Better bring back easter eggs, but without Easter egg:. SiPlus 10:28, June 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Leave the Easter eggs at the related chapters; don't add confusion to the article. Klow 11:08, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Steam
I have one, but I'm never on it. Considering how low-end and old my computer is, Steam debts my computer a lot. I primarily use MSN (Windows Live Messenger). Also, I've started playing that game - MapleStory - since I used to play it and felt like leveling up the character where I first used this name. As such, I haven't been around websites much lately. ~ <span style="border-bottom:2px dotted green; border-left:4px double green; border-right:4px double green; border-top:2px dotted green"><font color="#008800">Ṃ<font color="#009900">ᶒ<font color="#00aa00">ɠ<font color="#00bb00">ą<font color="#00cc00">§<font color="#00dd00">ɔ î é ɳ č ę <font color="#ff0000">{ <font color="#ff4400">t<font color="#ff8800">al k }  17:18, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

Half Life 2
Why was this page removed? It was a good redirect, as some people actually write it like that... Although the correct spelling is "Half-Life 2". You didn't even give any reason for removing it... Redirects don't take any space away, either. You can't even notice them. -- Frozen Jese 13:12, June 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * I removed that long ago to force people writing it properly in articles and thus never have the page linked through an improperly spelled link/redirect. Klow 13:40, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

Barney Calhoun in Half Life
Hey, I think this might be silly, but I really think that Barney was the guy who opened the tram door in Black Mesa Inbound because he says, "I'll buy you a beer" and then in Half-Life 2 he says "Now... about that beer I owed ya!" Omnicube1 05:16, June 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's silly. Barney couldn't be at two places at the same time. The beer quote is just a nod to the random Barney quotes. HL2 makes it a quote specifically said by the HL2 Barney, just like Valve made the bald scientist a specific person - Kleiner. It's already in OverWiki:Retcons. Klow 08:13, June 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh...I should've read that before posting that message! Omnicube1 02:14, June 29, 2011 (UTC)

Spoiler script
Hi! I made spoiler script (placed in User:SiPlus/wikia.js and User:SiPlus/wikia.css), can I make it wiki-wide JS?

It applies to everything of class "spoiler" (also uses spoilerOff and spoilerOn classes internally) and spoilerOn classes internally), but if you want to add multiple classes including spoiler for same tag it won't work, maybe I'll fix this.

It does not work like on The Portal Wiki, however, it removes text entirely, I can't make text same color as background for sups and subs, maybe I will find a way to fix this. ====~[,,SiPlus the Pop Tart,,]=^_^= Nyan! 16:57, June 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Cool, even more work! Don't we have enough?... :/ How can we work this out while the wiki is a complete mess? Klow 18:18, June 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * I can do this. ====~[,,SiPlus the Pop Tart,,]=^_^= Nyan! 19:23, June 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * If I can interject: personally I don't like it. It seems so tacky, and surely just having a spoiler tag is enough? Most people reading have played the games anyway. Bramblepath 20:20, June 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah for me too the current tag is enough. Klow 20:25, June 30, 2011 (UTC)

Achievement Lists for Characters
I tried adding a collapsible short achievement list that relates to a subject. And it currently looks like a very horrible mess right now. Do you think you can help put it in order?

http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/GLaDOS#Achievements

Thanks in advance. McFlurryMax 15:19, July 7, 2011 (UTC)

SiPlus told me on MSN. This will break some things, like my interwiki links, unless you're including a redirect to external linking. Few other problems, but I suppose it's for the best.

CombineOverwiki.net background
Well, I feel that the background image you guys are using feels a little old and not as stylish as most sites would do. I might try making a background image but I'm not sure how I can achieve it yet and would love to hear your input on this. I just know that using game textures won't really do it. I hope I can help get the right background image if I figure out how, and I certainly hope the new wiki will be beautiful. McFlurryMax 11:59, July 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually this image is just used for the current teaser, I never planned to use it as part of the default skin. I actually still have to think about that. But using texture images works, you know. We use one on YouTube, and before Wikia forced the new skin upon us, we used one as well, and it looked nice (minus the filthy ads). So we may do that again, or reuse for a time the background image we currently use here, then change it later, who knows. Thanks for your input! It's sad you are not on Steam.

Re: Sysop
Soon for me? Do you mean more info on the new Wiki? If so, I'm excited to hear about it. McFlurryMax 17:23, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

 * My knowledge of Half-Life 2 and beyond is a few years old in my mind. I haven't played the first one, either. I primarily specialize in the Portal part of the universe, so my expertise is a bit limited. I'm also not sure exactly what will happen now that I have graduated High School, so that might be another problem. ~ <span style="border-bottom:2px dotted green; border-left:4px double green; border-right:4px double green; border-top:2px dotted green"><font color="#008800">Ṃ<font color="#009900">ᶒ<font color="#00aa00">ɠ<font color="#00bb00">ą<font color="#00cc00">§<font color="#00dd00">ɔ î é ɳ č ę <font color="#ff0000">{ <font color="#ff4400">t<font color="#ff8800">al k }  01:55, July 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well you don't have to accept. Not every sysop is an expert in every game from the HLP universe. We can postpone it if you want. Klow 08:21, July 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Forgive me for realizing what sysop really is this late. You were planning on making me admin? I'm not that good at writing articles yet, and I'm not sure if I'm going to be a good one. I honestly can't accept the offer. Sorry for this, but I'm really inexperienced with these things. I thought sysop was something else. :V Sorry about that. McFlurryMax 11:09, July 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Since you are both dedicated, relevant and mature (from what I've said) and we need admins, I thought you two would be a good choice. Klow 11:34, July 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you but I haven't gotten the slightest bit of mindset on anything related to responsibility. Sorry that I can't do this, but thank you so much for offering. McFlurryMax 12:53, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

Screw you both, then! ;) Klow 12:57, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

Actually, my screen res really is that small. I can't go any higher than this, sadly. McFlurryMax 08:37, July 16, 2011 (UTC)
