Hello and welcome.--Bob^{bing up and down} 15:21, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

Thank you very much. I promise I shall convert all spellings to British English, even those not involving the letters 'u', 'z' and '42', and shall promote free love all over the site. Kirkburn 16:09, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

Another Brit? We'll have 'em outnumbered soon. Welcome!Susan Jayne Garlick^talk 16:15, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

There's never enough :) Oh, also, I will probably gratuitously plug WoWWiki and Wikia everywhere, and you're going to love me for it :P Kirkburn 16:23, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

Oh no we're not! Susan Jayne Garlick^talk 16:34, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

Oh yes you are! Kirkburn 16:35, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

I've just had a quick look @ WoWWiki - what's it about - the colour scheme's rather gloomy. Susan Jayne Garlick^talk 16:42, 2 September 2007 (CDT) ps: Oh no we're not!

Tis a wiki for the MMO computer game, World of Warcraft. It's dark cause gamers don't like seeing themselves :P Also, possibly cause task-switching to a bright white screen is .... painful. However, I spent hours, nay, days last week redoing parts of the site to work on light backgrounds for an upcoming funky reskin we're getting (most Wikia wikis currently run the new skin).

Oh! Susan Jayne Garlick^talk 16:58, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

Welcome to our little corner of the net. Unfortunately my student income has forced me to nix my WoW subscription....but hey do we get to gratuitously plug rationalwiki at WoWwiki now too? :) tmtoulouse ^oppress 17:04, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

One will see if one can fit subliminal GIANT FLASHING LOGOS everywhere on the wiki. Really subtle GIANT FLASHING LOGOS, of course. Kirkburn 17:16, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

Excellent, I know for a fact that if there is any community on the internet that appreciates the danger of shamans its the WoW community. tmtoulouse ^oppress 17:25, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

I fear I have been consorting with the enemy! This site just looks too convincing :O Kirkburn 17:28, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

We are all very suspicious of that site yes....but you know no hard evidence has arisen...yet... tmtoulouse ^oppress 17:31, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

I'm not a Brit, but I'm Canadian. That makes me sort of like a Junior Brit Scout or something. --Kels 17:29, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

I am a US citizen living in Canada....does that make me a Boy Brit Scout? tmtoulouse ^oppress 17:31, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

Yay for denizens of Canadia! Kirkburn 17:34, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

Oh, before the awful truth comes out I should mention my main character was once a warlock. Witchery and cursing abounded. But no matter, I have seen the error of my ways, and today I instead hunt small woodland creatures and get my pet leopard to rip them apart, whereupon I remove their spleens and hand them to people for cash and a new pair of shoes. Much more civilised and scientifiky. Kirkburn 17:34, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

There is now a Taxonomist class in WoW? Hmmm, maybe I should see about signing up again. tmtoulouse ^oppress 17:37, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

Well, one does spends ones time on a site that catalogues every species in Warcraft. :) Kirkburn 17:44, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

Even the plant life? tmtoulouse ^oppress 17:44, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

Of course! What do you take us for?! Kirkburn 17:46, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

There is such a thin line between an alchemist and a botanist. tmtoulouse ^oppress 17:48, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

Message from the Rational Wiki Ministry of Demotion and Personal Impediment

Dear M. Kirkburn,

We regret to inform you that you have been demoted to the rank of sysop. If you would please like to report to a bureaucrat to be assigned a mop and bucket so you can clean up the mess around here.

Your Sincerely,

3.14159

Oh noes! I have enough trouble with the other wikis I work on ... :) (Kirkburn motions towards his user page)

I thank you for my demotion. Kirkburn 23:38, 19 October 2008 (EDT)

You bastid

You made me lose some brilliang crap I was writing to the Glowing Cracker. Haven't seen you around in a while? Nice to do so. ħuman 02:56, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

I'm always lurking. And watching. Watching and lurking. And waiting. Waiting, watching and lurking. Kirkburn 02:58, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

I need a better signature. Kirkburn 03:01, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

Testing teh pretty. Kirkburn  talk  contr   03:03, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

I am happy. Kirkburn  talk  contr   03:03, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

Nice sig, it looks good. Pinto's5150 ^Talk 03:22, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

Yup, I agree. Nice, and different from what most of us idiots have. ħuman 03:29, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

Heh, loads of people copied my signature designs on WoWWiki though - http://www.wowwiki.com/WoWWiki:Signature#The_Sig_Parade.21 ... compare to my original http://www.wowwiki.com/User:Kirkburn/Sig :P Kirkburn  talk  contr   03:33, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

Well, it is the most sincere form of flattery, isn't it? ħuman 03:36, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

The truth of this cannot be disputed. Anyways, at least I'm original here ... for now. Kirkburn  talk  contr   03:37, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

Cool stuff - of course, on here, the white background mucks up some of your better work. Cartman, however, approves. ħuman 03:39, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

Those are signatures of all the various users on WoWWiki, only one is mine :P I would never make one that would look terrible on a white skin - see http://www.wowwiki.com/WoWWiki:Signature?usetheme=sapphire#The_Sig_Parade.21 :) Kirkburn  talk  contr   03:58, 27 October 2008 (EDT)
