[11:48:44] burn: that is works in opera and it doesn't have any propriatry code that only works in certain browsers

[11:48:54] burn: thats what i like

[11:49:05] Temporal: I made sure to test everything in Opera

[11:49:13] burn: i heart you

[11:49:13] Temporal: I had three browsers open a lot of the time

[11:49:23] burn: ie opera firefox?

[11:49:26] Temporal: I rather like Opera. It's speedy.

[11:49:27] Temporal: yeah

[11:49:37] burn: indeed

[11:49:47] burn: it has built in rss feeds and irc

[11:49:48] Temporal: Firefox sometimes crashes with this chat room. Opera doesn't.

[11:50:00] burn: also its m2 email is kinda neat

[11:50:33] burn: needs server side rules in M2 but they have a new version comming out

[11:50:42] Temporal: regarding deleting posts, I'll delete those posts you posted to show you what it looks like...

[11:50:47] burn: did you code the chat room yourself?

[11:50:50] Temporal: yep

[11:51:14] Temporal: ok, look at the thread now...

[11:51:31] burn: yeap crashed firefox

[11:51:51] Temporal: I'm using firefox right now... it usually works, unless you refresh a lot

[11:51:54] burn: sure enough five posted deleted

[11:52:43] Temporal: if you promise not to actually edit anything, I'll give you edit rights for a bit so you can see what's there

[11:52:56] burn: sure

[11:53:06] burn: i will only edit my post

[11:53:17] burn: btw i made another post :)

[11:53:19] burn: sorry

[11:53:29] Temporal: there, you are now a manager...

[11:53:38] burn: cool

[11:55:32] burn: i rewared myslef 100 points

[11:55:39] burn: what can i do with them?

[11:55:39] Temporal: and I rewarded you -100

[11:55:44] burn: :(

[11:56:15] burn: what does the check mark do?

[11:56:18] Temporal: in the future you'll need a certain number of points to use post colors, avatars, and sigs (if the site admin chooses to require points)

[11:56:33] burn: i see

[11:56:34] Temporal: the check mark is for the "delete checked posts" button

[11:57:35] burn: thats cool

[11:57:56] Temporal: yeah... easier to clean up mass spams

[11:58:23] burn: the award field is kinda coool

[11:58:35] burn: it is it is simply a field

[11:58:42] burn: i changed my total to 200

[11:58:47] burn: :/

[11:58:57] burn: i will change it back to 0

[11:59:03] Temporal: yeah... please do

[11:59:39] Temporal: in the forums you can post topics with polls

[11:59:41] burn: i did

[11:59:58] Temporal: you can have the polls be weighted by score

[12:00:07] Temporal: and you can even post condorcet-based polls

[12:01:17] burn: condorcet?

[12:01:24] burn: a french thinker?

[12:01:36] Temporal: it's a voting method... kind of like instant runoff except better

[12:01:49] burn: weight by score would be people that have lots of mod points right?

[12:02:01] burn: explain

[12:02:23] Temporal: right... when you awarded yourself 100 points a bit ago, that would make your vote count 100 times...

[12:02:42] burn: that would be awsome!!

[12:02:57] burn: i would be the most important electorl state

[12:03:08] burn: like cali or florida!

[12:03:19] Temporal: with condorcet's method, everyone ranks the options, rather than choosing just one

[12:04:02] Temporal: then the "winner" is the option for which, when matched with any other option, is higher than the other option on the majority of the voters' lists

[12:04:09] burn: what does locking do?

[12:04:20] burn: sure

[12:04:24] Temporal: thread locking... like any other forum... prevents further posting

[12:04:27] burn: very enlitened of you

[12:04:41] burn: got it

[12:04:55] burn: didnt know if that locked it so no one could edit yourpost

[12:05:22] burn: or locked like in other forums

[12:05:35] burn: are you running this on your sever in the basement?

[12:05:47] Temporal: this is running on my desktop

[12:05:58] Temporal: I have a console window here scrolling by all the requests

[12:06:06] burn: btw thants for removing my -100 points

[12:06:50] burn: i would be the worst person to vote on poll topics

[12:07:01] Temporal: heh

[12:07:17] Temporal: well, if you have negative points, your vote just doesn't count

[12:07:25] Temporal: otherwise you could simply vote against the option you want

[12:07:25] burn: :(

[12:07:55] Temporal: I ported this whole thing to FreeBSD yesterday, though

[12:08:02] burn: still it would be funny

[12:08:05] Temporal: and I'm obtaining a professional FreeBSD host to move it to

[12:08:20] burn: where are you looking?

[12:08:24] Temporal: ipowerweb.com

[12:08:37] Temporal: I looked around a lot and they had the best deals for freebsd stuff

[12:08:50] burn: on a dedicated?

[12:08:53] Temporal: yeah

[12:09:14] Temporal: 1500GB/mo

[12:09:44] Temporal: though I won't need that bandwidth... I chose the top option because I want the CPU power and RAM. Evlan isn't very well optimized yet.

[12:10:56] burn: you think that i need a gig of ram?

[12:11:11] Temporal: well, the thing is

[12:11:15] burn: and what are you going to do with 120 gigs of storage?

[12:11:20] burn: i mean jesus

[12:11:32] burn: you could upload the whole damn world

[12:11:38] Temporal: psh

[12:11:45] Temporal: my porn collection wouldn't even fit

[12:12:06] Temporal: anyway, the thing is, Evlan likes to keep all the text of the site in RAM

[12:12:14] burn: yeah it would fit mine

[12:12:23] burn: oh

[12:12:31] burn: jezz

[12:12:35] Temporal: although, as it turns out, that's not even very much

[12:12:41] Temporal: like, this whole site fits in a couple megs

[12:13:06] burn: yeah but it has like 10 people that post and it has been up for a month

[12:13:15] burn: imagine in a few months

[12:13:20] Temporal: err
