Not exactly  the elicited emotion.
 
General poll question, I guess: would people rather have smaller weekly patches, or bi-weekly that have bigger stuff? There's decent arguments for both, but I've found myself having to rush/limit/shelve things because they don't always fit into the smaller development cycle.

                 Well, personally, I'd think it'd be better to just patch whatever is ready as long as it wouldn't break things, that way it doesn't seem stagnant. I rather have patches whenever you feel like it.
I like a steady schedule for a bunch of reasons, but the big three are: 
 - Gives a fixed time to make it easier on Scragg 
 - Sets expectations for everyone else (this is the big reason why I hate  skipping weeks) 
 - Imposes some structure on me so I don't tinker with something forever
 Don't get greedy.Also, where's my rainbow bar??!?!?!?!?!

                 Main reason I say that is because after that lengthy gap, Pro actually went down for quite awhile.

Ah, mis-read. Sorry about that.
 
That's mostly what I've been doing, but it means we're going to get occasional filler weeks where there's not going to be anything exciting in there.

That'd be fairly annoying to do, actually, due to how the internal parser works. All BBCode has potential for abuse, so that's really more of a moderation issue anyway.

That didn't actually have anything to do with the size of the patch. In any case, that won't happen again.

Ah, mis-read. Sorry about that.
 
That's mostly what I've been doing, but it means we're going to get occasional filler weeks where there's not going to be anything exciting in there.Well, judging by all the waifu stuff we were talking, a lot of us watch anime, we should be used to filler. >.>
That's just a stereotype. There isn't that much filler in anime. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go and catch episode 4 of Goku screaming.

                 Main reason I say that is because after that lengthy gap, Pro actually went down for quite awhile.
That didn't actually have anything to do with the size of the patch. In any case, that won't happen again.Oh, I thought it did.
 
Anyway, once Pro is up and running, I'd assume bi-weekly or even monthly patches would be fine. It's just getting Pro more up and running, y'know?

                 I mean whatever is ready each Tuesday, not whenever you feel like it.

 I propose we limit the rainbow tag to 3 words and/or 15 characters, max :)
That'd be fairly annoying to do, actually, due to how the internal parser works. All BBCode has potential for abuse, so that's really more of a moderation issue anyway.So you'd rather be a good Admin than play Cards with me the day after my birthday? Wow...

                 To be fair the Admin life can be rough. 
A certain character type needs to be there for an admin thats for sure. 
Maybe rooks can join us on another cards game? ;D

Rooks didn't choose the admin life, the admin life chose him.

Haha! Perhaps, Maybe he was just destined to do it.

It's not personal.
 
I have, roughly, 10-15 hours a week of actual Free Time⢠between RL work, wife+kid, other obligations, etc. It's not something I can pop into and out of like forum posting - it requires a contiguous, uninterrupted block of time, and there just isn't that much of that for me right now, so that's what I get. 10-15 hours a week of development isn't very much!
 
So, if I want to make progress with any velocity whatsoever , it trumps almost everything else.                                     
    
    
        
        This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
 Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
 
 For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
 
 And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
