 * Well, hello and thank you. I intend to contribute a few things to WIGO now and then. Etc 21:02, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

 * You're blocked for a day at Conservapedia. Do you have a dynamic IP adress?  If you have you can start a new account with a different name.  Log out of Conservapedia.  Switch your modem off. Switch the modem back on again.  Your IP adress will be different provided your IP adress is dynamic.  Start a new acount.  It may be better to wait so they don't connect the new account with you.

Demotion
For your occasional and minor edits and your endless talk you have been demoted to sysop. Find the help page yourself. $\approx$$\pi$ Mowse 07:38, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Well, thank you very much, I suppose. I mean, oh darn! My revenge will be gruesome. Etc 07:43, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Not a very exciting sig, you still working on it? For best result on mine set maths to always render png. $\approx$$\pi$ [[Image:Toxic mowse.gif|25px]]Mowse 07:46, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Yes, my long term plan is to slowly replace the color in order to make it fade into blue, to maximize confusion about whether or not I actually have a user page! Eventually, perhaps also incorporate a mouse into the sig. Right now I'm just undoing this unfunny wandalism. I will surely report this user to the FBI. Etc 08:01, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Fade from what into blue? $\approx$$\pi$ [[Image:Toxic mowse.gif|25px]]Mowse 08:11, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Fade from sad into blue ... Etc 10:35, 18 September 2008 (EDT)


 * Sorry, that was rather poetic than helpful. Actually, I don't have much intention with anything right now. Etc 10:35, 18 September 2008 (EDT)

I've been trying to make good-looking medals for a while now. How'd you make your goat medal oh so shiny? - Gentleman Publius (V)&lt;,&quot;,&gt;(V) 15:52, 4 January 2009 (EST)


 * Well thank you! I did it in GIMP, and the procedure went something like this:


 * I opened the goat image and blurred it a bit (I figured that the delicious texture of the goat would have made my medal a bit to jagged otherwise). Then I added a new layer and filled it with an orangish yellow. Then, I used "Filters/Light and shadow/Lightning effects", clicked the "Bump mapping" tab, enabled bump mapping and selected the goat image as source. Then I basically fiddled around with the other settings (and moved the blue "light" dot around) until it looked good. That process was so time-consuming though, that I gave up immediately on making the letters in the same fashion. Good luck! Etc 17:03, 4 January 2009 (EST)

Brown paper packages
Thanks for the Favourite Things link in Talk:WIGO - I'd heard about it but never seen it for myself until now. That's the kind of creativity where I'm willing to make an exception and condone vandalism - beautifully realised!--Kriss AkabusiAAAAWOOOOGAAAR!!1 06:50, 4 February 2009 (EST)
 * Heehee. That was one of mine.   JuanK 07:18, 4 February 2009 (EST)
 * Thank you. I take no credit for the actual wandalism, it's just one of my own good old favorites. It's a bit amazing that you've heard about it, but never actually seen it. That's the true measure of legendary wandalism :-) Etc 12:34, 4 February 2009 (EST)
