 * Better late than never eh? ;). Btw, do you play MapleStory? -- Prod (Talk) 19:41, 31 January 2007 (CST)

Hey Dan, why did you change "manoeuverability" to "maneuvers at your pick" on Counter-Strike: Source/Maps/cs_assault? After your edit the sentence didn't make sense at all. --DrBob 12:00, 26 May 2006 (PDT)

Are you messing with the image server again? Cause they seem to have stopped working :/ -- Prod (Talk) 20:33, 22 January 2007 (CST)
 * Ah. OK.  Btw, you seem to have server access, why don't you set yourself to a bureacrat or something.  -- Prod (Talk) 20:46, 22 January 2007 (CST)

Naked Chicks Uploading
Are you testing the Metadata? --Notmyhandle 21:47, 27 January 2007 (CST)

Game Logos
I think it's a bit redundant to have the name of the game 3 times in the infobox. I've moved some of the images to the walkthrough pages. -- Prod (Talk) 23:04, 27 January 2007 (CST)
 * It might work well in the ToC. There are some guides which put pictures there (like EarthBound).  To make them a usable size for the AGN would change the way the AGN looks too much I think. -- Prod (Talk) 23:16, 27 January 2007 (CST)

Contra Plot on Main Page
Hi Dan. Just FYI, we've typically left the story on the front page. See Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Mega Man, and Dragon Warrior. Procyon 19:12, 2 February 2007 (CST)
 * No problem, no sorry necessary. Usually the story isn't that big, not enough to warrent it's own page, unless there are pretty images to include.  I personally think that it compliments the introduction very well, since it's usually filler info, and not something needed to learn how to play the game.  P.S., did you notice this? Procyon 19:20, 2 February 2007 (CST)
 * In footer navs, if the backname == backpage, don't have to explicitly state the backname, same with here, and nextname. -- Prod (Talk) 19:31, 2 February 2007 (CST)

MPH Walkthrough
Thanks for wikifying the Metroid Prime Hunters walkthrough. 0-172 Talk to me 2:42, 3 February 2007 (CST)

Nice touch to the ToC, but I have to tell you (unless you already know) that exact same image has already been uploaded and it can be found on the page about Samus. 0-172 Talk to me 18:55, 4 February 2007 (CST)

Mac OS X
On a topic totally unrelated to Strategy Wiki, from your user page, I'm guessing you use a Mac, am I correct in assuming that? (I use one myself, much better than a PC) 0-172 Talk to me 2:47, 3 February 2007 (CST)
 * (I can't believe that I'm asking this) Do you own an iPod? 0-172 Talk to me 2:55, 3 February 2007 (CST)
 * Well, I own a 4GB 1st Gen. iPod Nano. I've frustratedly run out of space. :( 0-172 Talk to me 18:38, 3 February 2007 (CST)

Hows this? --0-172 Talk to me 18:47, 3 February 2007 (CST)


 * How exactly would put in a border? 0-172 Talk to me 19:47, 4 February 2007 (CST)


 * Hows that? (Notice I altered the border, I don't know how to make it dark grey though) 0-172 Talk to me 20:10, 4 February 2007 (CST)


 * As I've said before, I would discourage the creation of random userboxes, especially if they're not related to gaming. I've copied this template's markup into your page, and deleted it. I think that's the best solution for now. --DrBob (Talk) 14:25, 3 February 2007 (CST)

Safari
How's this?

--0-172 Talk to me 1:34, 7 February 2007 (CST)


 * Camino? 0-172 Talk to me 3:30, 7 February 2007 (CST)


 * I altered the userbox for Camino. Better? 0-172 Talk to me 3:37, 7 February 2007 (CST)


 * Nahhh! There no such thing as being too generous. Anytime. 0-172 Talk to me 00:26, 9 February 2007 (CST)

MapleStory
Nice addition to the MapleStory/Table of Contents. -- Prod (Talk) 21:52, 4 February 2007 (CST)

Adminship
Wow! I never even noticed that you became a sysop. Congratulations, and welcome to the administration! 0-172 Talk to me 00:24, 9 February 2007 (CST)

I know/remember we had some downtime, but I don't remember how long, sorry. 0-172 Talk to me 00:30, 9 February 2007 (CST)
 * About 4 hours. What exactly was the problem? -- Prod (Talk) 18:50, 8 February 2007 (CST)
 * Easiest way to tell the time it was down for is by the edits. Hopefully it shut down because we got too much valid traffic :D. -- Prod (Talk) 19:24, 8 February 2007 (CST)

Pokeball: Nice touch
Hey man, thumbs up on the image. I've been bitten by the Pokemon bug too, and I'm going to overhaul the Red/Blue/Yello walkthrough just as soon as I hammer out the Yellow "What's New" pages. I love getting more images to spice up this place, there are still too many text-only pages here, IMO... P.S. The server was down from approximately 4:00 to 7:15 by my recollection. Procyon 18:51, 8 February 2007 (CST)

"Return to gamename" links
Please stop putting them at the bottom of pages. They're non-standard, and not used anywhere else. We decided a while back to use templates such as Footer Nav instead of them. ;-) --DrBob (Talk) 08:31, 13 February 2007 (CST)

Vandalism warnings
Dan, when warning people about vandalism, there's no need to write your own warning: we've already got vandalism warning and vandalism warning 2 available. :-) --DrBob (Talk) 09:46, 15 February 2007 (CST)

Potential significant change, could use input and later assistance.
I started a discussion on making a pretty substantial change to infobox and I thought I'd let you know about the discussion in case you were interested or wanted to help with the change if it was supported. link. Oh, and if you know someone who would want to help out/discuss this who's talk page I didn't leave it on, if you could let them know, that'd be useful, thanks. -- Mason11987 (Talk - Contributions) 09:00, 16 February 2007 (CST)
