neutral: I don't remember you (perhaps "a year" is too recent), and... "encrypted password"?? oh 64-character passwords etc. ok fine

↩ @'r00t' well yeah float is what my 16,777,216 was referring to (using standard round-to-nearest-ties-to-even rounding, 16777216.f + 1.f is still 16777216.f) and double is also similar (but with 2^53)

and 16,777,216 and 9,007,199,254,740,992

vouch: ...wait, it's been 9 months? wow...

vouch, I can't even remember this (-> yup, that's a long time ago), but your account of it seems to be the kind of thing for which I wouldn't have even vouched on the original IBR (for reasons I've already posted about)

vouch, it's been long enough, and bypassing could easily have been accidental; also I certainly know how much I hate who I (17) was when I was 14.

the old community

however, I went inactive in late 2018, and when I came back (Dec. 2020), there weren't that many people I still remembered, even less of whom were still staff (I presume it's also because inactivity): JJ_Jaguar2000 (-> _JagWire), videogamesm12, and mattlawn, so I'm not sure how much of "the old community" is still here

"an exploit was discovered in TF-PlotSquared that allowed players to generate additional plotworlds"

I have literally no idea how that could have existed, what?

You know what I didn't expect?

For anyone else to play Tabletop Simulator here.

Also yup, it's Chromium-based:

I do wonder what ZFBrowser is, though.

In 2014? It was because... well, I was 10. Who wouldn't find this appealing?

Now? Mostly because it's fun to go back to things I used to do, looking back at what I used to think was interesting or fun (evidently I was better at... creativity than I am now, and it took months after this post to really figure out that the reason I'm so bad at it now is because of how... methodical I am because I literally can't scramble a Rubik's cube anymore) and... not who I was—I originally picked up a pseudonym because of privacy reasons, but it's now also because it lets me forget the... less favorable things I did when I was 14.

And because of the community. For a long time, I went to a school that was small enough that you could reasonably know everyone there (like, 100 students); probably because of this, I don't really like very large communities that much (for they often feel too... impersonal), but I also don't really consider the people that aren't active (all the people on Discord that only came on when the server shutdown announcement happened; take notes, Ryan...) to really be part of the community anymore, meaning that the community is the right size.

↩  Tizz yes

↩  Ivan yes, I know that, but why do unappealable bans even exist

vouch (see ↩  erin), but I think serial trolling should be longer than crashing the server (but not crashing it repeatedly), for I can easily see someone crashing the server thinking it's perfectly ok (though more accurate advertising could partially help with this) or just plain accidentally (I could see an OP doing something out of curiosity and accidentally crashing the server with it, including specific crashes and heavy lag spikes that have already happened, and "oops, I did it by accident" won't fly with a lot of you even if it's true), but serial trolling necessarily has to be a repeated and intentional offence that keeps happening after being told to stop

vouch for above reasons (though I have a few questions as to why the list even exists as separate from the normal indef-ban list)

Object under the above reasoning: there isn't really anything you can do with an IP address that has a lasting impact. Trying to look one up will give you a city and ISP at best; anything more precise than that is only happening if you're the police with a reason (in which case you're getting their IP anyway), and you'll often get a nearby larger city instead. And the chances that anyone will care enough to even look that up, let alone do anything with it, are slim.

This is going to become even more of the case if ISPs start using the nested-NAT approach (2025: The Return of the Party Line would make a good movie title) to postpone the IPv6 upgrade indefinitely, but we should probably revisit this if the upgrade actually happens (which will also result in IP addresses that are closer to the length of 2001:db8:391b:51f3:2d98:8b19:a14c:e3e6 than of 203.0.113.243).

I mean, if there was one person who was going to do this and post about it, it was going to be ↩  videogamesm12. (Or Steven, minus the "post about it" part.)

While Wikipedia's "Assume good faith" is a policy on Wikipedia and not specifically here, I feel like it's still a good idea to remember that the server's, uh, imperfect advertising often leads people to think that there aren't rules (perhaps minus 0a), and that 24-hour (or even 5-minute) bans for minor-ish offenses (see ↩  Zarcana's post, especially from new players) might not be the best idea.

However, codifying this as an actual policy might be difficult, so neutral (intentionally ignoring the specifics of who proposed this).

4 or 5; while ↩ @'DragonSlayer2189''s point applies (most of what I know about it is because I also know a lot about C++ and C and JS), I've made (small) projects and most of the reason I haven't made bigger projects is because I never have anything I want to do for long enough at a time (points to the server's dev situation)

vouch because obviously

also there's this thing called regional difficulty which depends on the difficulty setting (Normal), the total in-game time (day count plus time of day, currently on day 81 at noon = 27 hours 5 minutes, though it stops changing after day 63 = 21 hours), the moon phase (¾ on day 81), and... the amount of time someone has been near the chunk

and that last one is apparently always zero (or at least below 15 minutes), which ... I don't know why

who's going to be the first to name an actual element that was named after a person besides nobelium
