Hi, I'm Mythigator. Please leave a message below. If I left you a message on your talk page, please reply there as I like to keep a conversation in one place.

Fresh Start

Seeing what this looks like following the archive. -- Mythigator 02:17, 8 October 2011 (EDT)

Okay, there's obviously something I'm missing because the box with the archive link isn't showing up. Suggestions, please, Solar or Ale (or anyone else who knows, thank you)? -- Mythigator 02:20, 8 October 2011 (EDT)

IRC

Do you wanna come to this week's IRC meeting? Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 15:29, 8 October 2011 (EDT)

I would if I could. Saturday evenings (wiki time) just aren't working out for me anymore. -- Mythigator 19:47, 8 October 2011 (EDT)

It seems a new time may be in order, as we had to cancel as there were too few users. Will wants one later so he could attend, not sure how that would work for others.--Cook879 05:21, 9 October 2011 (EDT)

That time used to work for me, but our family dynamics have had a couple of spanners thrown into the works (and that's putting it mildly): My girlfriend's mom passed away in June (long illness), and at about the same time my girlfriend's grandma (who is also our neighbor, and mother to the aforementioned deceased mom) quit driving. The latter was actually a good thing, as Grandma is in her mid-80s, her eyesight has been starting to go, and driving for her was getting to be more scary than anything else. Anyway, since then our Saturday afternoons (evenings in wiki time) are generally spent taking Grandma grocery shopping and/or visiting my girlfriend's dad. He's doing OK, but he's been buried in a veritable sea of paperwork that he sometimes needs some help navigating—neither he nor my girlfriend are really "paper" people, but guess who in the family is? Not that I'm complaining; I'm glad to help. I'm also not trying to create drama or run a sympathy ploy; it's just that I want to assure folks that I'm not deliberately ditching the meetings and, particularly in the light of my new status, I think that everyone is entitled to an explanation. So here it is, and thanks for listening. Please do keep me posted regarding any meeting schedule changes, though. -- Mythigator 10:28, 9 October 2011 (EDT)

Hey, no one is thinking that you are trying to avoid meetings or anything. You don't have to come to them if you're unable to. We understand that real life often takes priority over Internet life so there wasn't really any need for an explanation of everything. if you can make it, that's great. If you can't, never mind. We might end up rescheduling though so watch this space. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 10:41, 9 October 2011 (EDT)

No worries. I just want to make sure that those who need to be in the picture are in the picture. I'll keep watching for schedule changes, too. -- Mythigator 10:44, 9 October 2011 (EDT)

Representative

Congrats, I've decided to make you the representative. The Solar Dragon 12:32, 13 December 2011 (EST)

Thanks and I'll do my best and all that. One thing I've been doing already is posting links to our wiki when answering Simpsons-related questions on Yahoo Answers. I did recently run across a site that I think would be a good affiliate (simpsonseh.com, a collection of Canadian references on the show), but I'd like to hold off on contacting them until two things happen:

1. The server situation is sorted out (which will determine whether I can have a simpsonswiki.net e-mail address, which I think would be helpful).
2. I get a couple of articles written (based on information I've been able to glean from their site).

Anyway, please let me know if the above makes sense, and if there's anything else I need to be aware of. Feel free to e-mail privately if you think it's necessary. TTYL ... -- Mythigator 14:07, 13 December 2011 (EST)

Sounds good. The Solar Dragon 14:08, 13 December 2011 (EST)

Congratulations! --Cook879 16:47, 15 December 2011 (EST)

Aye

How art thou? I must say I am very eager to hear your accent. (I am assuming you have one due to your "PROUD" demeanour towards Scotland.) Anyway, if I am to understand, you're warning me that I will lose my rights because I have a profile here? Well I have made maybe 2-3 edits on actual content pages. I just use it to speak with you all. I mean it is rather frustrating being ever so behind your wiki, but I am doing my best to catch up. P.S Solar Dragon doesn't like me much and begun to ignore me after this question. If Wikia provided the Monobook skin originally as an option when they introduced Oasis, would you have left. (assuming no freak bans etc. Had been made.) Woops, forgot my signature. Jhonevans 09:55, 21 December 2011 (EST)

What happens to your rights at SW@THTSNBN is for those admins to determine. As I said, I thought you should be aware of the issue. By the standards that SW@THTSNBN has put forth, the conflict of interest doesn't arise from having a profile in both wikis, or (apparently) from editing in both places, but from having rollback or higher privileges in both wikis.

I'll post more later. Gotta get ready for work now. -- Mythigator 10:12, 21 December 2011 (EST)

Ok, can you post on my talk page please? Otherwise I will have to keep refreshing your page. Trust me I have no plans of rollback here, I doubt I would be granted such access after my recent activity on the other wiki. But I do enjoy speaking with you guys. It's a real shame it's like this.

Superin-duper

I don't care what the hell the expression is, but if you listen he definitely said superin-duper. Listen to it, if you want. I have quite a few times. I'm not going against the only revert once rule, so I think you should re-watch the episode. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 15:02, 19 February 2012 (EST)

I DVRed the episode so I certainly will, thanks. I just find it shocking that the writers would muck up such a common expression. -- Mythigator 19:39, 19 February 2012 (EST)

I just re-watched that portion of the episode. It's "super-duperintendent". Shearer does hesitate for a fraction of a second after "super", so the pronunciation isn't as clear as one might think. -- Mythigator 21:56, 19 February 2012 (EST)

Sorry for being so late to reply, I've had an urge not to. Anyway, if he didn't say "in", he said something. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 15:29, 2 March 2012 (EST)

Randomno, could you please refrain from using massive bold words like that as it comes across as rude and and as if you are shouting. Thanks, The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 16:22, 2 March 2012 (EST)

Appearance galleries

Hi, when making appearance pages, could you make them in gallery format instead of list format please as this is the way we would prefer it. To make it easier, we have a list of recurring characters, locations etc. here. Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 15:51, 20 March 2012 (EDT)

When I make a list, it's a transitional step to making a gallery, so no worries. I was on lunch and only had so much time to work with. BTW, one of the improvements that Marge's Station wagon article needs is an image. -- Mythigator 16:04, 20 March 2012 (EDT)

Isn't that the same car as Orange Station Wagon?--Cook879 16:05, 20 March 2012 (EDT)

Indeed it is; well spotted! In that case, then the Marge's Station wagon article can either be deleted or its content can be replaced with a redirect to Orange Station Wagon. I suggest going the redirect route, as "Marge's Station wagon" was the first thing I thought of when I was trying to think of what her car would be called. -- Mythigator 17:45, 20 March 2012 (EDT)

Merchandise Award

Since you're the only admin around, can you put on the sitenotice "The Merchandise Award has been revived for a Weekend Special starting today!" Thanks, ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 04:27, 6 April 2012 (EDT)

It's done. See Solar's talk page for a mini-rant. -- Mythigator 09:01, 6 April 2012 (EDT)

Videos

Hi, as you're American, do you mind trying to access the video here? Thanks, | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 09:50, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

I'll try it when I get home. I'm at work at the moment, and our Internet filter is pretty persnickety about allowing access to video content. But anyway, I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work at home. Is there anything in particular you need from the video? A framegrab or something? -- Mythigator 10:58, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

Not right as this moment, but we might need some good images in the future. When I try accessing them, a voice just says "This content is currently unavailable." That's happened for all the videos I've tried. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 13:32, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

Well, I had to sit through a couple minutes' worth of ads, but after that "Them, Robot" started playing with no problems at all. -- Mythigator 08:15, 11 April 2012 (EDT)

Okay, thanks. Do you mind trying to get the image here, but without the logo? Thanks, | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 08:18, 11 April 2012 (EDT)
