Sorting out 5+ million unused poster accounts isn't as easy as it sounds when your crappy hardware causes many of the necessary database checks to take forever for each entry… | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-30 04:29:?? UTC) |
I refuse to accept that, despite being the best, AnonTalk is the only forum/BBS you go to. You can easily include a link to AT in your signature. | ? | 6 months (2009-10-29 19:29:?? UTC) |
The word doesn't spread itself, you know… | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-29 18:28:?? UTC) |
I don't normally mention minor things like this, but nevertheless: now, in "tinfoil mode" (another feature that I wish that almost nobody uses, BTW), private messages are immediately deleted upon being read rather than marked as "read" and then deleted later. | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-29 04:16:?? UTC) |
Why do you seem to be scared to death of starting new topics, but extremely eager to post off-topic replies? Starting topics is a good thing. Not bad. GOOD! | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-29 02:14:?? UTC) |
How FUCKING hard can it be to STICK TO THE TOPIC?! STOP DERAILING EVERY GOD DAMN TOPIC! I'm truly sick of deleting long series of replies because you can't grasp the fundamental points of this place. Idiots. | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-29 01:13:?? UTC) |
Removed "confident mode". All it did was turning off the spell checking. Moved that into "conservative mode", which hopefully isn't used by many… | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-28 23:51:?? UTC) |
Annoying: When I am forced to delete an interesting topic with tons of replies because of its headline: "Molested At 6, Question for pedos" ← Why did the person have to randomly capitalize some words? This has happened so many times… Sigh. Yes, I could edit every instance like this easily, but then people never learn and expect me to do it again and again… | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-28 16:59:?? UTC) |
Most likely fixed an annoying bug which would sometimes incorrectly claim that the headline/body was touched (or was not touched) in the private messages sent when topics (not replies) are edited. | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-28 05:27:?? UTC) |
I have to say that it's truly fucking insane how there still is almost no traffic here most of the time. Fucking insane. | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-28 02:57:?? UTC) |
Each letter in an acronym has a capital letter. "Lol" is not a word. | ? | 6 months (2009-10-27 19:31:?? UTC) |
I don't know how this is even possible, but those of you who for some inane reason actively add a space after the cite reference in replies… die. | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-27 19:25:?? UTC) |
When refering to the original poster of a topic, use "OP", not "op". | ? | 6 months (2009-10-27 10:55:?? UTC) |
The only post I've seen do this so far is now gone, but I'll say it anyway: you are NOT writing a fucking letter, so do NOT sign it like you are. Thank you. | ? | 6 months (2009-10-27 04:13:?? UTC) |
"Controversial" ads are no longer shown for those who are in "SFW mode". | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-27 02:30:?? UTC) |
Sigh. It's just got way too slow in a really sneaky, hard-to-debug manner. Removing it again and won't put it back before I find out what the hell is wrong. | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-27 02:14:?? UTC) |
Brought back the watchlist "new items" notification. (Without finding out what was wrong.) | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-27 01:51:?? UTC) |
The "notice bar" no longer disappears from a single click — double-clicking is now required for it to go away. I've never seen a single complaint about this, but I suspect that it sometimes causes problems… | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-26 23:43:?? UTC) |
You never seem to learn. If somebody starts a topic asking specifically that you don't ask a certain question, YOU ARE GOING TO GET BANNED IF YOU IGNORE IT AND DO IT ANYWAY. This just happened to 5-6 people who replied to a topic with questions about exactly what the OP asked to not hear about. Are you people fucking retarded for real? Respect the topic starters. You are killing this place with your trolly asshole bullshit. Who knows how many topics got ruined because of this? | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-26 21:52:?? UTC) |
I feel sorry for Sysop, seriously, I really do. I can't donate but I wish I could. So many people out there, who don't have a life and who hate this site for
no reason. It's quite sad.
Spread the word. Donate if you can. Use the preview and spell check function every time. |
? | 6 months (2009-10-26 17:57:?? UTC) |
So many fucking worthless psychos out there, making up idiotic lies that other morons believe… Not to mention how every single feature on this board has been abused like hell in every possible way, causing me to be forced to construct complex bot/troll traps just to get rid of most of that junk rather than focusing on real improvements that you genuine posters actually notice. The stupidity and malice is staggering. | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-26 15:31:?? UTC) |
Please don't comment on bad spelling, grammar, and the like; simply report the poster for being an idiot and move on. Comments on bad English are off-topic and make the topics look a mess when the poor-quality posts are cleaned up. | ? | 6 months (2009-10-26 13:15:?? UTC) |
STICK. TO. THE. FUCKING. TOPIC. | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-26 02:40:?? UTC) |
Every time you reply to a topic you don't like you are increasing its visibility, every time you post a new topic the topic you don't like have it's visibility reduced.
If you don't like a topic X instead of make an angry reply post many new topics! |

Removed the watchlist indicator again temporarily. Slow shit… | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-25 18:05:?? UTC) |
Even "platinum" AnTs (5,000+ posts) now have a perk: the ability to publish bulletins, polls and events instantly without moderation. | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-25 16:09:?? UTC) |
Replying to obvious trolls WILL get YOU banned and shitlisted for acknowledging their existence, no matter what you reply. Don't fucking do it. | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-25 12:12:?? UTC) |
Unless you have a Tourette's syndrome that effects you on the internet, stop swearing at random intervals. Shit, it really doesn't, shit, help our ability to read your posts, shit. | ? | 6 months (2009-10-25 02:28:?? UTC) |
It sucks that only poor people seem to like this place. Where are the eccentric billionaire AnTs? | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-25 02:54:?? UTC) |
Turns out it wasn't actually back at all. It just seemed that way. Now, it's back for sure. | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-25 02:38:?? UTC) |
It's back again. Let's see if this did any good… otherwise, it will be gone again soon. | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-25 01:19:?? UTC) |
In case you wonder, the main menu "topics in my watchlist has new replies" indicator is temporarily gone while I try to optimize it. It has become very slow lately, causing extreme load on the server. | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-25 00:13:?? UTC) |
Make sure you read the entire topic before you even think about composing a response. | ? | 6 months (2009-10-24 20:29:?? UTC) |
Stop fucking typing "im" instead of "I'm" too. | ? | 6 months (2009-10-24 20:01:?? UTC) |
Stop typing "yo" instead of "years old". | ? | 6 months (2009-10-24 19:58:?? UTC) |
Away from the computer, I had a sudden realization: the non-bot bot-like posters must be people who search for something, follow a link in the search results, go back in their browsers and cause another search each time. I have become so accustomed to using "tabs" that I completely overlooked this possibility. Now, it seems so obvious… If you got shitlisted (you didn't get banned) from this, let me know the IP address in a PM and I will remove it from the list. Then again, if you are reading this… | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-24 17:57:?? UTC) |
Use the preview and spell function every time, even if you are typing less then one line. It doesn't matter, just use it. It improves the quality of this board. | ? | 6 months (2009-10-24 15:49:?? UTC) |
Why do non-bots (humans) keep searching for the same thing repeatedly, despite the big warning about getting detected as a malicious bot and shitlisted? Why search for the same thing several times in a row at all? Unbelievable… | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-24 13:18:?? UTC) |
Stop responding to trolls or idiotic topics and post more intelligent replies. Do we really need to keep saying this? | ? | 6 months (2009-10-24 09:45:?? UTC) |
"How often do you take a bath? Only with water doesn't count." is an extremely ambiguous poll… | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-24 01:10:?? UTC) |
"Palladium" AnTs (1,000+ posts) now have a perk: no more (sometimes annoying) "waiting times" between posts. I also optimized the DB even more, and it seems to have had dramatic results. Combined with the previous fix, things should now be much smoother. | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-23 23:21:?? UTC) |
Start helping out, don't be fucking leeches. | ? | 6 months (2009-10-23 22:59:?? UTC) |
What the fuck is the point in even trying anymore when none of you give a shit or help out in any way? | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-23 14:18:?? UTC) |
It's "YouTube" — not "youtube"… | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-23 13:34:?? UTC) |

Add more events. | ? | 6 months (2009-10-23 04:09:?? UTC) |
It's too early to tell for sure, but I believe that the recent annoying-as-fuck random slowdowns are now gone, or at least much less noticeable. | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-23 01:46:?? UTC) |
There are maybe ten-fifteen more people online at this specific time than there were three-four months ago. I refuse to accept that you're all shut-ins who have no friends. Spread the word about AT to those said friends. Think they're too prudish? Link them to the SFW mode. | ? | 6 months (2009-10-22 13:23:?? UTC) |
I have nothing against "fair use" and "inspiration"; it's pretty much a necessity for anything new to be created. However, when somebody blatantly copies and pastes an entire piece of work, without even trying to make it original or hide the fact that they just stole it, and claim credits for it on top of that, you'd better believe that I go nuts, as would anyone else who has worked hard on something. | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-22 12:53:??

A new shitty clone every day… Do you have NO respect for somebody's hard work?! Fucking scum. | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-22 12:39:?? UTC) |
Telling the OP to "Google it" is against the rules. If you're too fucking retarded to contribute anything but this… don't bother responding. Just fuck off to Retardchan if you're retarded, because this place is for intellectual discussion. Morons. | ? | 6 months (2009-10-22 10:58:?? UTC) |
It's spelt "years old", not "yo". | ? | 6 months (2009-10-22 06:06:?? UTC) |
Crazy thought: instead of surfing around here and staring at various pages — actually contribute once in a while, such as starting an interesting topic. | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-22 00:31:?? UTC) |
If you want to help out, this may be useful: http://88.80.21.12/copyright | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-21 23:11:?? UTC) |
Wanted: Massive donations and tons of quality traffic: http://88.80.21.12/donate and http://88.80.21.12/link_to_us Stop just sitting on your asses, thinking that "somebody else" will do it. They aren't. You are passively killing the best site on the Web, allowing for the shitty clones to spread like cancer and take over. This was exactly what I tried to prevent right from the start, but I knew that it was going to happen since you are a bunch of worthless, cheap, selfish fucks who don't give a shit. Thanks a lot. | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-21 03:44:?? UTC) |
"I agree OP." ← This should read: "I agree, OP." | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-21 01:22:?? UTC) |
Random abuse of syntax markup does not look good. It is only to be used for words that really need emphasis, not every word that uses even the tiniest bit of stress in pronunciation. Believe it or not, we can read them on our own. | ? | 6 months (2009-10-20 15:50:?? UTC) |
Remember to e-abuse report anyone abusing the markup syntax such as incorrectly using the header for "big text". Doing so will cause them to get banned without hesitation. | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-20 14:57:?? UTC) |
Quit using the new heading markup for emphasis. I don't want idiots to get it taken away for all of us. | ? | 6 months (2009-10-20 12:05:?? UTC) |
Stop telling people you have reported them. This is actually against one of the rules here. | ? | 6 months (2009-10-20 01:22:?? UTC) |
It seems that no matter how much you prepare for it, server updates will break horribly. :-/ | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-19 23:42:?? UTC) |
Remember: "Good grammar" includes using capitalization! The shift key is really not that hard to push. | ? | 6 months (2009-10-19 00:41:?? UTC) |
The "ask X anything" topics are now banned in the same sense that topics about AT itself are banned if somebody else has made one "lately". This is basically an unwritten rule that applies to any kind of topic, but those two are especially common… | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-18 19:39:?? UTC) |
My solution for contractions: Do not use them, then you would not have to worry about forgetting the apostrophe. | ? | 6 months (2009-10-18 18:13:?? UTC) |
Stop with the "Dear Original Poster" bullshit. Not only is the capitalization incorrect, but if you aren't citing anybody, it's assumed you're replying to the OP. | ? | 6 months (2009-10-18 15:23:?? UTC) |
You'd think that the big, bold text in the "new poll" section, telling you about the requirement of punctuation in the poll options, would make people… not omit the punctuation. You'd think so indeed… | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-18 15:01:?? UTC) |
The "markup syntax" now ( finally) has a header (<H2>), for use in some rare situations. Let's see how you'll all manage to abuse and fuck that up… http://88.80.21.12/markup_syntax | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-18 08:56:?? UTC) |

Finally got rid of the seemingly pointless "num_posts" cookie. (It was initially used to save server resources and also as a check to see how many would modify their cookies…) | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-17 00:25:?? UTC) |
To the scumbag(s): You can apparently get away with stealing my original ideas and unique solutions, but you can't copy and paste the spirit and soul of AT; no matter how many drones you may trick into visiting your crappy clones, it won't mean shucks since it's not your own hard work. You are a fraud and when I get rich (which I will, although not from this), I'm gonna let my army of lawyers sue you and any affiliates back to the stone age. You'd better start saving up money — you'll need it. | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-16 22:09:?? UTC) |
Fixed the "Just arrived" item under "global trivia", which would always display 0 previously. Now, it shows the accurate number. I never announced the "global trivia" page, BTW — it can currently only be accessed from any topic trivia page. | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-16 21:39:?? UTC) |
"My name is [censored] and on behalf of the Business Development team, I thank you for your interest in AlertPay, however, we can not accommodate your request due to the nature of the topics on your message board." ← Good thing I asked in advance — AlertPay is evidently yet another company that doesn't want customers/money. Mind-boggling. | Sysop | 6 months (2009-10-16 15:11:?? UTC) |

If you link to AT, PM me your domain (no exact URLs are required). I've started keeping a "whitelisted referrers" list due to all the recent spam coming from random URLs (not shown on the board in any way, but the server is constantly hit by these bots). This check will not always be on, but as long as this insane flood of rubbish continues, it simply has to be enabled. | Sysop | 7 months (2009-10-15 15:12:?? UTC) |
Fixed one more "minor" thing regarding the Firefox secure cookie crap. If you have enabled it, please disable it and then re-enable it if you run Firefox. (Possibly other browsers as well, but Opera, Safari and MSIE seemed to be able to overwrite secure cookies properly.) | Sysop | 7 months (2009-10-15 13:57:?? UTC) |
I think that the bug is gone now. Not sure, though. It seems to work for me in Firefox now. Anyone who has lost their ID/password (due to this issue!): please contact me and I'll help you get it back. | Sysop | 7 months (2009-10-15 11:52:?? UTC) |
DO NOT use "iron cookie jar mode" in Firefox! It SEEMS to have some serious bug causing it to not properly send the cookies or something. I don't know what exactly is wrong yet. I have to research it. It works in other browsers. | Sysop | 7 months (2009-10-15 09:43:?? UTC) |
"This is probably gonna get me banned, but…" ← Yes, it is. Don't post it, troll. | Sysop | 7 months (2009-10-15 08:54:?? UTC) |
You must WANT to get banned. There is no other explanation for all these identical fucking chanspam "ask X anything" bullshit topics, many made by regulars. I'm not gonna unban you. Fuck off. Idiots.

Don't assume everyone else knows what you're talking about when you answer a question with a reference to some obscure scene from one of the Star Wars movies.

Bring your ID with you when you use another computer or browser! Don't post in topics and say things like "Hey, I'm OP and AnT D and AnT G from before".
