    2. @mushi I personally think we should rename this place @purpletinker network for one day on RDN's birthday (if it lasts until then).

      1. @ecmc1093 that would be cool!

      2. @ecmc1093 Naah. I didn't start it. I just paid the bills for a while. Rename it Cabal Network for a day.

        1. @purpletinker But you supported it with your funding for longer than he did, if my memory serves me correctly. And there's Bronycon too, the creation of which was a huge milestone for the fandom and a great success. It's not just about RDN. Any true Brony would know you are more than worthy of respect.

          1. @ecmc1093 Awww. Thanks. I think I blushed a bit. Honestly? The best part of having stepped down from BronyCon is that now I can ENJOY BronyCon! SO looking forward to it.

            1. @purpletinker So can we ask anything about RDN now? Mainly, are we actually stable? :3

              1. @mrdragon I'm working with Cabal on finding a suitable new admin, and possibly also a suitable new host (sometimes, suitable admins have convenient access to suitable hosts ;) ). Nothing will happen to RBDN. I wouldn't let it happen.

                Wednesday, 07-Mar-12 23:33:08 UTC from web
                1. @purpletinker I know there was a few of us who would be willing to donate to help RDN in the meantime, if funding is an issue.

                  1. @forestrain Don't worry about funding. As long as I'm paying (i.e.: until the changeover), everything will be fine. AFTER the changeover, perhaps the new host will want moneys. Talk to him or her once the changeover occurs. :)

                    1. @purpletinker We as a community will gladly help the new admin money wise and make sure their job won't be a total hell.

                2. @purpletinker Well, I don't know if he messaged you about it. But myself and @ceruleanspark we're willing to take it on, it would be hosted on my dedicated box, and him keeping it updated and running on the sys admin way. If that had been accepted. Also, a donate button was suggested.

                  1. @mrdragon Sent your message to Cabal for consideration, and thanks! :>

                3. @purpletinker Hopefully the new admin will upgrade StatusNet. This version has so many holes..

                  Wednesday, 07-Mar-12 23:35:16 UTC from web
                  1. @minti Upgrading StatusNet would be a pain. I'd made various minor changes to the codebase that would have to be patched back in. Things like adding links to the menu at the top right, requiring email validation, things like that.

                    Wednesday, 07-Mar-12 23:38:53 UTC from web
                    1. @purpletinker Mmm. Still would be worth a try, this version is ridiculous when it comes to loopholes. I can name at least two easily executed malicious ones right off the bat.. xD

                      Wednesday, 07-Mar-12 23:40:34 UTC from web
                      1. @minti mmm, maybe I will make the upgrade myself as a last present to the site before the changeover. And, while I'm at it, roll my patches into an easy-to-apply diff file....

                        Wednesday, 07-Mar-12 23:41:44 UTC from web
                        1. @purpletinker You would have no idea how much we would love you even more.. please tell us though. You'll still come on and say hi?

                          Wednesday, 07-Mar-12 23:42:20 UTC from web
                          1. @mrdragon F'course. I'm not leaving the site as a user, just as an admin.

                            Wednesday, 07-Mar-12 23:44:27 UTC from web
                            1. @purpletinker So we may see you more a little now you will be a little.. or a lot less stressed

                              Wednesday, 07-Mar-12 23:44:51 UTC from web
                              1. @mrdragon Eeyup.

                        2. @purpletinker Heh, that would be great. :p

                          Wednesday, 07-Mar-12 23:42:42 UTC from web
                        3. @purpletinker that... would be fantastic!

                            1. @purpletinker Backing you all the way!

                            2. @purpletinker :D You make me want to finish working on the theme I was making.

    3. @mushi Thanks for the cute pic! Yeah, some angry ex-staffers have been slamming me on 4chan. They're upset because I wouldn't give them financial control over the con. They walked out, and they've been spreading nasty rumours about me ever since, twisting and distorting everything I've ever done to make me look like a monster. I put up a fairly comprehensive response to the most central lines of BS they're spreading about me at http://purpletinker.deviantart.com/journal/Leaving-BronyCon-behind-288978187 .

      1. @purpletinker no problem, purple! i just thought i should say something cool. I'm glad you liked ^^

    4. @brony001 I know, right?

      Wednesday, 07-Mar-12 23:22:14 UTC from web
      1. @purpletinker I wanna be a nosy pony and ask a load of rubbish, but I'll just say. We all love you Tinker <3 dun listen to any meanies, we all love you ehre.

        Wednesday, 07-Mar-12 23:23:29 UTC from web
        1. @mrdragon Thankyew! There's not much to say, really. Haters are hatin'. Funniest part is when they talk like I made it rich off BronyCon. Damn, how I wish I did.

          Wednesday, 07-Mar-12 23:26:16 UTC from web
          1. @purpletinker I know that much already, hell I was around when Cabal talked to me and told me what had happened and several other things. So I know what it's been like.
