Fan Costume Commentary Images

Hello. Thanks for diligently working on the images until completion. Nice work! I can't help but think that the recent More Fan Costumes might have sparked your interest in the creation of a table. Just one thing: It looks like you replaced an image. Do you think you still may need Weencostume11.png or can it be safely deleted? Thanks, and I look forward to your future involvement in wiki projects. —THE PAPER ^PREEEOW 06:45, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

I can't exactly remember, but I think you respond to messages from someone else on the same page as the original message, so that's what I'll do. Hey, you're helscome! Any time. As for the replaced images, I actually replaced three of them. The image you mentioned in your message, this image, and this image have all been replaced and can be deleted. Though I'm a bit confused about your closing remark, since I've been involved with wiki projects for about two years, probably more. --Ye Olde VolatileChemical 01:00, 8 November 2005 (CST)

Your userpage

Your userpage looks rather broken in Firefox (I dunno if it's just in Firefox or if it's broken in other browsers too - I don't have IE handy to check). If you want to fix it, change the top like of the table to

{|  border="1" cellpadding="2" width="255px" cellspacing="0" style="float:left;margin-right:10px"

and the top line of the sbemail blockquote to

<blockquote class="lappy email" style="margin-left:265px">

and it looks fine. I'd change it myself, but I don't like to tinker with peoples user pages without permission. --phlip ^T_C 15:20, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Looks fine in IE I R F 16:05, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Thank you, Invisible Robot Fish. I made this page, as I make all the pages made by me, in Internet Explorer. I have no idea what's wrong with in in Lavawolf, or whatever it's called. But I'll try to fix it anyway. --VolatileChemical 02:09, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Well, the adjustments have been made, but it is Pyrrhic victory, for my Lappy quote is now way on the down-low, and just because I made adjustments to help someone I don't know and have never heard of. And I can't even see the improvement in brokenness, since I'm still using IE. Oh, well, I don't go on my user page much anyway...speaking of, what the heck were you doing in my user page, Phlip? And what the heck were you checking my talk page for, Invisible Robot Fish? --VolatileChemical 02:15, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Uh... VolatileChemical's been here a while... Like almost a year... --Jay (Gobble) 03:57, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

And yet I see he was never properly welcomed, but point taken. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 03:59, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

The actual committee was formed after I joined, so I didn't get a formal welcoming either. That is, until Rogue Leader so nicely did so. — Lapper (talk) 04:07, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

I think of the "Welcome!" as being mostly for the purpose of providing helpful links to newcomers (in a nice, friendly package); I always check User contributions to make sure they aren't older than the Welcoming policy. But there's certainly no harm in making even regular users feel welcome; you could just say something like "I know you know where your towel is, but you never got a proper welcome. Welcome!" (but without using the template 'n' all). —AbdiViklas 04:11, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Everyone's come out to talk about me! I feel so special! I do know where my towel is. Thanks, A Cup of Coffee, for helscoming me. Thanks, Jay, for pointing out my long time existence here. Seven months and 20 days, actually. Thanks, AbdiViklas, for claiming I need a welcoming despite having been welcomed before (On my previous account. Yeah. You gotta check for the things you have no way of knowing about). Thanks Lapper, for...um...complaining about your inopportune joining time on my talk page. Well, now that this little shindig of weirdosity is over...in the words of Vice President Al Gore, "Peace out, y'all!" --VolatileChemical 06:19, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Is there a problem with my name?

Just wondering why you seem to be going out of your way in the Talk discussions to say that my name is too weird for you. —  KieferSkunk (talk) — 00:00, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

It's just a joke, man. Lighten up. I mean, KieferSkunk? What's that supposed to mean? I'm just kind of weirded out about how everyone on this wiki seems to have really weird usernames that you have to ask about to understand. I especially dislike the kind that sound like a vaguely English word, but then end up just missing their goal (like that Upilsom guy that used to always hang around the forum). So, uh, no actual problem...I just prefer normality. Also, I feel it necessary to tease you since we were both on the two ends of the reason spectrum during that Update Dry Spell discussion over on the Main Page. --Yœuwre Œldæst ænd Volætiœlyste æofe Chæmicailœs (Your Oldest and Volatilest of Chemicals) 02:28, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

And VolatileChemical is normality? =3 --DorianGray

It's more normal than some of the stuff we get around here. And don't ever say "=3", whatever that means, on my this page again. And quit snooping around my user talk! --Too Lazy To Make Up A Clever Nickname 02:34, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Let's play nice here folks. Be polite. Remember, people can't see you or know for sure your mood. Irony isn't always obvious, and blunt, raw text can easily appear rude. Be careful of the words you choose — what you intended might not be what others perceive, and what you read might not be as intended. -- Tom 02:49, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Actually, Kiefer is a German name, and my online character happens to be a skunk, so Kiefer + Skunk = KieferSkunk. As for my question... I don't really have a problem with you disliking my choice of aliases, but please keep in mind what Tom said - the joke might have been funny to you, but it wasn't to me. If you don't want to type out my name, KS is fine. —  KieferSkunk (talk) — 04:01, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Firstly: yes, of course, you're online character is a skunk. What the crap is an online character? Secondly: Tom, I appreciate your advice, but is it really that bad if I say that I find a user's name weird? By the way, I love your username. So original! That, to avoid wrongful perception, was sarcasm. Thirdly: to my previous poster, I think I'll just word my responses in a way that shows that I'm responding to you. --VolatileChemical 23:10, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Er, I'm not sure I quite catch the cut of your jib here, VolatileChemical. Specifically, I don't understand why you're going out of your way to be rude to people who are going out of their way to be cordial. Maybe it just seems that way. If I have misinterpreted your remarks, then just let me know. Incidentally, you know what else is an unusual username? Fhqwhgadshgnsdbkhsdabkfabkveybvf — It's dot com 23:53, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
