Hello Mr keyboard.--Skynet 22:57, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Mind doing us a favor?

Could you put something (even if only a "space" from the spacebar) on your user page? That way, your name won't show up in red and it will make the recent changes more pleasant. Thanks. Researcher 13:29, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Done. is that OK now?Qwertyuiop 13:32, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you so much! (I know it's silly, but it really does help.) Researcher 13:46, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

A lateral move

Since I struggled in my decision process over making you a sysop, since you and I clashed, I decided instead to give you a lateral promotion here to Vandal. It does nothing to your user rights (good or bad), it just adds abusiveness points to your status here. Lord Goonie ^{Hooray! I'm helping!} 22:32, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

This user isn't a vandal. ωεαşεζøίɗ^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 22:51, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Dude, read my remarks above, will you? Lord of the Goons ^{The official spikey-haired skeptical punk} 22:52, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Not very happy with that. How do I challenge it? Qwertyuiop 22:54, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Fine then, if you don't want it, I won't give it to ya. No biggie. Whatever. Again, it really does nothing. Fuck, I think 50% of the sysops here are also vandals. Gooniepunk2010 ^{Oi! Oi! Oi!} 22:55, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Goonie, I read your remarks. They don't justify labelling users as vandals when they are unable to remove that label. ωεαşεζøίɗ^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 22:58, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Mostly, I was just hoping someone other than me would come along and sysop this user since they probably deserve it, but I dislike them too much to do it and wanted to remove my personal bias. Of course, I bet that thought never crossed your mind, did it? The Goonie 1 ^{What's this button do? Uh oh....} 23:01, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Fine, the're an "Irrational Number" now, which gives them some extra user rights like a sysop. Lord Goonie ^{Hooray! I'm helping!} 23:09, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

What are those "extra rights"? I'm new here so I don't understand too much. Don't really understand what a sysop can and can't do, for that matter. Sorry if you've taken a personal dislike to me. Please say what I can do to help change that. Qwertyuiop 09:49, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Eh, don't worry about that anymore. I think your initial couple of edits here rubbed me the wrong way because I, wrongly, thought you were just some Holocaust denying troll. But, after reading some of your more recent contributions, I am the first to admit my first impression of you seemed to have missed the mark. Anyways, come hang out in the saloon bar here sometime and get to know the community-at-large better. Lord Goonie ^{Hooray! I'm helping!} 12:46, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Glad we sorted that out, Goonie :) Qwertyuiop 16:45, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

A sysop is someone who can delete pages and block users. We usually hand them out to users after only a few dozen edits and a few days, when we're reasonably sure they are not vandals. Since you're not a vandal, I've just made you a sysop. Please read this guide before using any of your powers. You might also want to read the community standards in case you haven't already, and you can check the newcommers' guide for frequently asked questions. -- Nx / talk 10:00, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

You crazy ass keyboard

Why not switch to Dvorak? They make more ergonomical sense than the Qwerty. AnarchoGoon ^{Swatting Assflys is how I earn my living} 22:27, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Qwerty is a relic intentionally designed to be suboptimal to avoid jamming typewriters. Fuck you, qwerty. ^{— Sincerely, Neveruse513 / Talk / Block} 22:29, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Guys, that's a myth and you know it. ^gnostic 22:30, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

No, Dvoraks do make more sense, godddamnit! The Goonie Punk ^{Can't sleep, clowns will eat me!} 22:32, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, but REAL computer nerds DON'T go for the EASY route! In fact, REAL programmers use a steady hand and a magnetized needle! ^gnostic 22:38, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Can you actually do Dvorak, Goonie? I keep reading how marvellous it is, but I've never met anyone who uses it.

Anyway I can't touch type. I have to look at the keys as I go. And I'm too old to acquire new kinaesthetic habits. :-( Qwertyuiop 20:28, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Good, you don't have to break the bad habits of qwerty. Chances are, your OS has support for Dvorak. Rearrange the keys on your keyboard and get ahead of the curve. ^{— Sincerely, Neveruse513 / Talk / Block} 20:35, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

You mean on the laptop I share with my wife? Sounds like a fast track to the divorce court ;) Actually she's from the land of azertyuiop but she went native. Qwertyuiop 20:50, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

I typed Dvorak for quite a few years, after decades of touch-typing the Sholes QWERTY layout. No question that Dvorak is easier, more comfortable, and better in every way bar acceptance in the marketplace. My son still types Dvorak, but is naturally bidactyl in qwerty. Did I say Dvorak is better? It is. Try it, and your elbows will not need to flap around the way the regular layout seems to encourage. Sprocket J Cogswell 20:59, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

That idiot on your archieve #2

Just ignore him. He's a troll, and we have vandal binned the racist bastard already. Have a nice day and (if you're an American) a good Thanksgiving. AnarchoGoon ^{Swatting Assflys is how I earn my living} 23:23, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

For future reference, you do have the power to vandal bin people like that, since you are a sysop. Punky ^{Your mental puke relief} 23:32, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
