Good job!

Well, dang. You and FortMax really took care of the missing images in short order. Kudos! It's really helpful!--Rosicrucian^Talk 00:18, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, you're awesome! I used your list to feed the 'bot. ^_^ --Derik 00:24, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome. :) Although the big thanks really goes to Mendel's lists from Wikia and Opera's Links panel. :> --Jeysie 00:47, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Gorlam Prime

Thanks for uploading that. I'll probably upload a second one of the inhabitants in their transitional state once I dig my scanner out. At least now there's a "before" image of the planet to keep folks from sticking the "after" image up there.--Rosicrucian^Talk 14:56, 11 October 2008 (EDT)

Not a problem. :) As for the transitional state of the actual inhabitants (I was kind of wondering if that was what you were really going for, but decided the planet pic would work better for the moment), I can upload that one too if that would make things easier for you. I'm not sure where to put it myself, though. I'm thinking either the intro or the SL:Nightbeat section would need expanding somehow? --Jeysie 15:16, 11 October 2008 (EDT)

I'm actually fairly unconcerned if such a pic extends into the Spotlight:Hardhead paragraph, as that's a bit that touches on their evolution too. I was thinking of scanning the frame from Spotlight:Nightbeat where he's just looking at the cyborg inhabitants walking by.--Rosicrucian^Talk 15:25, 11 October 2008 (EDT)

Works for me, then. I figured that was the frame you had in mind. *goes off to work on it* --Jeysie 15:40, 11 October 2008 (EDT)

Fanfiction

Hey. I noticed on your user page that you write fanfiction as well. Do you have a link to your stories? It would be nice to read something decent without having to dig through all the crap on fanfiction.net to get to it. --Nightshade83 00:52, 27 November 2008 (EST)

Heh, sure... well, I hope it's decent, anyway. FF.net: [1] There's a few extra ones on my DA page, too: [2] (though I definitely don't guarantee the non-TF ones necessarily actually being good, since they're old), and my Mosaic scripts (with links to the end result comics in the comments): [3]. --Jeysie 01:32, 27 November 2008 (EST)

The main page

You're the one that made our main page, right? The recovered version needs fixing. --FortMax 23:58, 16 March 2009 (EDT)

I'll see what I can get done to it. (Sorry, was in power page-saving mode yesterday.) --Jeysie 18:36, 17 March 2009 (EDT)

Thanks for the recovery, but a little thing I noticed... the [''view''] link that takes you immediately to the day's page is missing. --M Sipher 10:35, 18 March 2009 (EDT)

It's hard to tell without having the original wikicode, but IIRC that's actually something to do with the "This Day in History" template itself rather than the Main Page... i.e. Derik did something where the template shows the View link if the date page is on the Main Page/transcluded anywhere (whichever is the case).

Either that, or I remembered the code wrong in how to transclude the date pages.

So I'd ask him about it first. If it turns out I did misremember something, let me know and I'll fix it - I just want to make sure our templates are fully restored. --Jeysie 20:49, 18 March 2009 (EDT)

I'm sure others will echo this, but your restoration efforts are hugely appreciated, despite the small snags mentioned just above. I only wish I'd had the time and knew what I was doing (a little experimention proved neither was true) in order to help.--Apcog 12:08, 18 March 2009 (EDT)

You're more than welcome... I'm rather proud of what we've all built here, so anything I can do to help save it, I'll gladly do.

Plus... I consider recoding the Main Page specifically to be a favor to me as well... call me biased, but I like my restructure way better than the stuck-in-the-90s-on-Geocities-esque Wikia structure. (I dunno if it's the absolute best Main Page design we could have, but I do think it's at least a big improvement over what we did have.) --Jeysie 20:49, 18 March 2009 (EDT)

Because seriously, holy crap.

You are presented with this Gigantion Award

In recognition of users who help in ways both big and small.

This is the second time you've stepped up in a big way to help the wiki, so you most certainly deserve this. Consider it a slightly more nerdy barnstar.--Rosicrucian^Talk 23:21, 23 March 2009 (EDT)

Ooo, nerdy is good. :D But thanks, I'm always happy to help (and let's just say that it's nice to be somewhere that being helpful is appreciated). --Jeysie 04:55, 24 March 2009 (EDT)

Fan Club stories

I wanted to respond to what you were saying on Talk:Mech, but the discussion has gotten tangential enough that it's not worth adding more to that already-cluttered page. You expressed surprise that your opinion about term-usage in the Fan Club stories generated the strong responses it got. And I do think that your interpretation of the Fan Club fiction's place in the grand scheme is not uncommon, but that's also why a lot of folks (myself included) quickly jump to its defense. Since the very first BotCon comic, people have been dismissing the relevance of fan-club/convention material in all sorts of contexts, so we few who care are on an endless crusade to school the unenlightened in the egalitarian ways of TF canonicity. It's hard to imagine smaller potatoes than the "mech" debate, but for us it's very much a principle-of-the-thing thing. Especially since there are Fan Club content creators here (again, myself included), it's always going to be a tender spot. Sorry you had to wander into the line of that fire when you thought you were in light, completely non-controversial territory. - Jackpot 03:57, 20 April 2009 (EDT)
