You'd better be a bot. I've got my eye on you. 23:36, 15 June 2008 (EDT)
 * He is given me lip on the other side so yea, watch him. 23:38, 15 June 2008 (EDT)
 * Oh yeah, I'll watch it. I'll watch it real good.
 * Can I call myself "Tmtoulouse's Enforcer", maybe?
 * Who am I talking to? 23:42, 15 June 2008 (EDT)
 * Sure sure, or Minister of Inquisition if you like. 23:44, 15 June 2008 (EDT)
 * I want cronies, too. Otherwise how will I terrorise the smallfolk? 23:53, 15 June 2008 (EDT)

You're stuck now
You've made your first mistake, maggot. Now I'm gonna be on your back, breathing down your neck, until I can find something trivial to blow out of all proportion and hang you with. Have you ever tasted asphalt, you slime? As you were. Respectfully yours, 01:11, 16 June 2008 (EDT) (Klassic Karajou :)

Curious
What is the algorithm? (And I don't mean how do he and Tipper avoid extra babies!)  ħ uman  01:12, 16 June 2008 (EDT)


 * Logs onto the wiki
 * Pulls all text from WIGO
 * Open database
 * Query the votes from the database
 * Set up an array of 300
 * Add +1 for each element of the array that matches a vote id and whose answer is "yes"
 * Step through array looking for each element greater than 10
 * If an element is greater than 10 pull out the wigo text whose ID matches the array element
 * Strip code from WIGO and add formating code for Best of
 * Pull text from Bestof
 * Find location to add WIGO text and add it in
 * Write text to wiki
 * sleep(100000)

Think that covers it. Source available too if you want though its pretty dirty at the moment. 01:29, 16 June 2008 (EDT)
 * Oh, no need to see the source, I was just curious what it does, exactly. So when it runs, any WIGO over 10 gets moved to Best of? How long is "sleep (100000)"?  Thanks!  ħ uman  15:27, 16 June 2008 (EDT)
 * The time unit is seconds, so a sleep of 100000 would be a little more than a day, but thats been adjusted down. I am tweaking it now so that it can run as a chronic job in the background and pick them off as votes pass 10.
 * Though several things need to be adjusted, like the down votes which haven't been implemented in the calculation yet. 15:30, 16 June 2008 (EDT)
 * Can you make it so it waits a specific time after the posting, too? Some of our items have gone to 20-30 or so, picking them off at 10 kind of spoils the fun for later visitors.  Or do they stay in WIGO still when it copies them to best of?  ħ uman  17:26, 16 June 2008 (EDT)
 * Stays in WIGO till archiving, which wont happen till 300. 17:28, 16 June 2008 (EDT)
 * Eggselent!  ħ uman  17:34, 16 June 2008 (EDT)
