    1. @techdisk Hey aparently we have a spam bot attack/ ddos attack ( I hope I am using that correctly

      Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 04:34:55 UTC from web
      1. @metaltao i don't think it's THAT serious. a successful ddos would ttake the site completely down. Cloudflare makes that diffucult. we also have at least one awake mod to delete spambots.

        1. @techdisk How does the mod selection process work? Do I sacrifice a goat to a diety or someyhign or just play nice and never ask to be one?

          1. @metaltao Back when Cabal ran the place it was incredibly easy to become a mod. Nowadays new mods usually aren't promoted unless the staff agrees A) we need more mods, B) this person is capable of the job, and C) this person is willing. (Staff asks you, not the other way around.)

            1. @redenchilada C makes sense, I am familiar with that one the most. (anyone should but I digress) [damn I should stop, I sound like I am begging] {even that sounds like begging}

              Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 04:41:54 UTC from web
            2. @redenchilada Shame we keep hitting a wall with B) huh?

              Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 04:42:00 UTC from web
              1. @scoot Yup

                Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 04:42:24 UTC from web
          2. @metaltao I dunno. i've been here a few years and ive never got modded. *shrug* i'd probably be useless as one anyway. i give too many second chances.

            Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 04:42:10 UTC from web
            1. @techdisk They probably won't ask for second chances for they are bots though

              Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 04:44:27 UTC from web
              1. @metaltao bots aren't the only things that need moderating

                Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 04:44:48 UTC from web
                1. @scoot Ah right

                  Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 04:45:13 UTC from web
              2. @metaltao yeah, but you haven't seen how this site can get sometimes.

                Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 04:44:57 UTC from web
                1. @techdisk I kinda want too now that you menion it :3

                  Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 04:45:29 UTC from web

                      1. @metaltao Do you like really dumb arguments?

                        Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 04:47:07 UTC from web
                        1. @scoot No.... but I like fun and intelligent arguments...

                          Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 04:47:31 UTC from web
                          1. @metaltao You will not see those, you will see very stupid arguments over nothing. Or at least you used to, hasn't been one for a while

                            Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 04:48:08 UTC from web

                                  1. @metaltao # is a long standing joke in case you actually got worried. Note the hashtag

                                    Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 04:53:35 UTC from web
                                    1. @scoot I wasn't worried (maybe initially) it was hilarious!

                                      Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 04:54:30 UTC from web
                          2. @metaltao then you dont want to see old RDN. because there wasn't much intelligence in those arguments. its not even fun to watch. trust me, i did watch.

                            Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 04:48:39 UTC from web
                            1. @techdisk Ahhh I see... Now then.... Your stupid! hah take that scrub

                              1. @metaltao *raises eyebrow*

                                Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 04:50:31 UTC from web
                                1. @techdisk WHAT YU GUN DO SCRUBS!

                                  Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 04:51:11 UTC from web
                                  1. @metaltao I'm going to calmly wait for a detailed explanation of my stupidity.

                                    Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 04:53:57 UTC from web
                                    1. @techdisk U weight too munch brothel!

                                      Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 04:55:04 UTC from web
                                      1. @metaltao ehhhh, I don't understand your argument. I'll let you try again.

                                        Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 04:57:09 UTC from web
                                        1. @techdisk U bewb! You watch boobies too much you remind me of Darwin!

                                          Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 04:58:20 UTC from web
                                          1. @metaltao Darwin? Isn't that an old time physicist? Your argument still isn't very convincing. Try one last time.

                                            Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 05:00:29 UTC from web
                                            1. @techdisk No, You don't understand the joke! One of the animals he observed was called a booby... IMMATURE JOKES FTW!

                                              Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 05:01:32 UTC from web
                                              1. @metaltao They are so named because it comes from a word that means "stupid" or "foolish" in Spanish.

                                                Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 05:03:19 UTC from web
                                                1. @scoot So.... that makes it a pun yes? (still that I didn't know is that why we have something called "booby traps"?

                                                  Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 05:04:37 UTC from web
                                                  1. @metaltao No, there's no pun involved in "This bird is stupid". Booby traps is likely something entirely different but I've never looked into it

                                                    Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 05:05:57 UTC from web
                                                    1. @scoot D: damn.... he did watch boobyies though.... BLue footed boobies....

                                                      Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 05:07:04 UTC from web
                                                      1. @metaltao ...and?

                                                        Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 05:07:19 UTC from web
                                                        1. @scoot http://rainbowdash.net/url/762791

                                                          1. @metaltao ...Okay

                                                            Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 05:10:02 UTC from web
                                                            1. @scoot Uhhhhhh....... did you atleast get the joke so we can get on with the (gurren laggan likes it's socrates THE CAVE"?

                                                              Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 05:11:52 UTC from web
                                                              1. @metaltao I understand the joke, but I'm not 10 years old so I'm sort of beyond it. The 2nd part you've written there doesn't appear to be in english

                                                                Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 05:13:06 UTC from web

                                                                  Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 05:15:58 UTC from web

                                                                    Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 05:18:28 UTC from web

                                                                      Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 05:21:38 UTC from web

                                                                        Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 05:29:24 UTC from web

                                                                          Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 05:30:23 UTC from web

                                                                            Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 05:33:11 UTC from web
                                              2. @metaltao hmm. Well. Interesting. I have underestimated you. I'm still not buying your "Techdisk is stupid" argument, however.

                                                Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 05:04:20 UTC from web
                                                1. @techdisk XD it wasn't an actual argument (as you can tell, I am done being the stupid one now... can we switch?)

                                                  Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 05:05:24 UTC from web
                  2. @metaltao no, you don't. you really don't.

                2. @techdisk With the lesser activity we've had a lot less blowouts which is nice

                  Wednesday, 04-Jun-14 04:46:03 UTC from web
                  1. @scoot that is true.
