This very much codifies for me that you aren't here for a positive environment. That and some older posts you made claiming you were done with MSB and MUing in general forever.

Good to see you stick with your guns.

@Lotherio

How does the silent majority represent the will of the people here at MSB if they never express their will to begin with?

I would rather propose that the vocal minority has triumphed over the vocal majority here, becoming the will of the people, and due to the events that have transpired in the last month, also become the vocal majority.

The silent majority can never represent the will of the people on an online forum because if you are silent you are non-participatory in the forum and expressing the will of the people on an online forum does require some level of expression.

Gany is following this will of the people

Would you say that the will of the people is represented by a vocal majority?

He is quite literally responsible (along with Testament and Faraday) for why we still have all of the old posts and transported successfully (because the rest of us at the time were not technically-literate).

This makes me think you feel like you owe him some level of community moderation authority just because he's good at the tech side. I sincerely hope that's not the case, and will simply say that while he seems fully competent at doing the IT side of things, he is not capable of being a rational and balanced moderator, and should really be removed as such.

I will add to the "it's not your fault in any form" dogpile.

You did nothing wrong.

Take care of yourself where ever you may go.

@lotherio

That's not how that works.

Maybe.. my brain is juice right now from RL stress and stuff.

I trust Gany to do as they said, review when things simmer down. Can we get there without more gas going into the fire?

Things have been almost totally inactive since the "fire" started. I don't know how much more simmered down it could get without just turning the server off.

On another game, I set myself on fire as a magic user character because I as a player did not read the description of the spell I was using, resulting in my death.

Before you say, "Oh but the GM should have let you redo it because you as the player didn't know the effect of the spell!", I will add that we decided to run with the character's death because I was RPing him as incredibly absent minded to begin with, and it would only make sense that he would forget how his own spells work and take himself out of the picture that way. In fact, we joked up to that point that any other death would be unworthy of his legendary airheadedness.

What is, hands down, the most hilarious, funny, laughable IC moment you have experienced in your time in this hobby?

Mine is from a Vampire game years ago. A Gangrel (with a mortal background of being from a tribe of Germanic warriors) brought a huge trebuchet that was hundreds of years old, but kept in good repair, to the Prince as a gift on his birthday (yes this particular Prince still felt the need to celebrate his birthday, and bringing him a good gift would get you on his good list at least for a short while). A super rich pompous Toreador brought the Prince a brand new limited run supercar in his favorite color.

The Prince enjoyed his new supercar, but thought the trebuchet was boorish and made comments as such.

The Gangrel went and got some heavy cable, and while the birthday party continued, hooked the supercar to the trebuchet and used it to launch the car into the river.

I laughed so hard in person from witnessing this that the other people in the scene had thought I had gone afk.

@royal

I can honestly say I've done that several times myself.

I don't have a whole garden, but I do have a pair of jalapeño plants sitting on my back porch that are doing quite well. My yard is far too muddy and constantly getting drowned by rain to attempt a garden without installing some of those nifty raised boxes, and that costs money that I don't currently have.

No clue if you did anything, but I came back and it seems to be working now. I didn't even clear my cookies / cache.

Now that this is working for some odd reason, I want to share my joy over my meditation cushion / pad combo.

It's a dull grey hemp thing, but it is comfortable, and it's part of my 'less stress in my life' process.

I realized as I started typing this that a picture might help, but I currently have a bunch of stuff on top of it because I'm in the process of rearranging my office. Maybe later.

Weird.. I wanted to express my joy at my meditation cushion and pad. I guess the forums don't want me to.

I was going to share something I love in RL, and when I try and get into that thread, it's blank.

In fact, it's the only thread that I've tried since then that is blank.

I'm confused.

Is that thread broken?

@derp The guy who wrote that plugin hasn't logged into github since the last time he updated something, which was September of last year, so I honestly doubt he's going to be updating anything soon. You might have to fork his repository and update it on your own since I don't think he's doing anything with nodebb anymore.

@ganymede

Sure. I'm no nodeBB expert, I just have some extra time today and pretty decent google-fu. From some other posts in the tech support section of the NodeBB forums, it looks like it's possible that the category settings that linked specific categories to specific groups got lost in the migration and would just need to be setup again.

That said, enjoy your weekend. Figure out the looney online RP forum drama later.

@ganymede From looking at the NodeBB documentation and forums, it looks like it's as simple as making sure that the category is setup to only allow specific groups to access it. I don't think there's a plugin involved.
