Whistle question

[HouseMasta]

Im sure its prolly been covered a bunch of times, but im hoping for the latest response. i had a deity whistle a couple months ago then it dropped to normal one random day then to garbage. i didnt touch my whistle points in that period i was wondering if anyone knew how to see their log or something so i can see if its a NG 2.0 glitch or what

Someone else has probably done it on your account then.

Siblings? Hacked? It doesn't just go down from Deity to Garbage like that.

It could be stuff that you marked awhile ago that just got enough marks to be checked by a mod. They then were probably found not to be abusive and your whistle dropped accordingly.

You know the whistle system sucks when someone that had a deity whistle goes to garbage just like that.

anyone know any mods i could contact to at least see what happened?

Seems to be one of the only review mods left that is willing to go out of his way to help.

nglog says 9/22/07 it happened - anyone remember the day NG 2.0 came out?

I wasn't around for it to happen, but you may be on to something here..

The NG Redesign came out on July 17th [7/17/08]. If you mean what I think you do then it happened way before the redesign.

Then the same thought that I had is useless too.

I wonder how I missed the redesign. I was here for it.

You mean your whistle went up from garbage to normal, and dont post something random in a thread in the wi/ht fourms we try to make a quality conversation with one another.

Of course I knew what you meant.

That's why I made a JOKE about it.

That's why I slapped a smiley at the end.

Injecting some humour into dry, bland, infinite newb question threads without being meanspirited to the OPs = not useless at all, but thanks for trying!

BTW, Neon. Judging from this little pearl in your userpage:

You know how to have some silly, "useless" fun as well. Don't be a hypocrite.

Man I'm telling you nobody ever looks at those smileys at the end of your text. You got to slap them right up there where you select your thread mood. That's the way to do it. ;)

See notice how I used my wink face.

Hahahaaha. Good one.

But joking aside... if that dude truly didn't notice my 5-fucking-character long smiley sitting at the end of my SINGLE LINE OF TEXT in my post, then he's either reading the NG forums at mach 2 and NEEDS TO SLOW TEH FUCK DOWN or he's blind as my ass. I don't think your preferred method would have helped much, besides... he's got issues beyond ignoring a smiley (i.e. ignoring subtext to begin with).

See notice how I used my wink face.

In both places. Most appreciated.

Again, who would of none that one simple, tiny argument would turn into a good joke down the road.

Something that we can all be accused of sometimes though. We all miss certain things, but how does someone miss that smiley that you use? I have no clue. It sticks out like a sore thumb. Especially when you only had one line of text. He really needs to slow down if he is missing something that short.

I wanted to use your style and my style together. If I had a cool smiley like yours then I would use my own in the text, but sadly I don't. Any help there?

From small things... great things.

Yeah, but I missed a small, hard-to-notice thing. He missed a blatant, your-glasses-are-on-the-tip-of-your-nose thing. THERE *IS* A DIFFERENCE. #;-}>

Doing both at once = guaranteed way to make sure communication breakdown doesn't ensue, most importantly.

Uh... if I made you a smiley, it wouldn't be your own "cool smiley like mine." Invent your own.

I've inspired.... eh, at least 6 people I can think of to invent their own smilies since I made mine in 1994, but I think only 1 or 2 of them used their own with very much regularity.

Making it short enough to type easily, expressive and individual enough to be worth using instead of the default ASCII emoticons/graphical emoticons that vary from site to site/anime smilies.... is another matter.

One thing I should mention: From 1994 when I made it till 1997, I used a keyboard that had built in macros. A key (similar to modern day "Fn" function keys enabled just about any key (aside from alt/shift/ctrl, caps lock, numlock, etc. etc. etc.) to serve as a macro.

I had the "*" key on my keypad set to dish out "#;-}>" on command.

So I didn't design my smiley to be easy to type. However, after mostly making it with a single keypress for 3 years, I'd also typed it out enough on other computers/keyboards besides my home desktop enough to be "fluent" in typing it ultra-fast (takes just under a second for my two hands to produce one on command), so when I finally got a new PC in 1997 with a new keyboard (and resisted the urge to keep using the old, battered macro keyboard even so), I was fine. I've been typing it out manually for 11 years since that PC change. #;-}>

I think I'm going to start using them in both situations just to avoid any confusion.

Well I might try to start using the one that I just posted and I will see if any body can relate it to me eventually.

I think that the one I made was pretty simple enough. It's not too complicated and yet not too simple.

I had the "*" key on my keypad set to dish out "#;-}>" on command.

Oh, man. I wish I had something like that. Just a one key and it makes a smiley.

I guess I can get use to typing it, but I don't think it will be typed fast any time soon. Practice makes perfect I guess. >[:] )

LOL! Just noticed this before starting to reply to Corky.

Is this the source of that "calling another user a hypocrite hypocritically" allegation you made in that "afterthought" thread, Recon? He was calling a post of mine pointless for being silly, and I showed him a silly newspost he made in return. That's totally not what you tried to make it out to be, if so.

I know, but you said we all miss things, which is certainly true, and I did miss yer smiley. But there's missing something and then there's missing something, if you catch my drift.

Much as you just felt the need to point out you weren't specifically talking about me missing something when you spoke of everyone missing things from time to time... I feel the need to point out that I wasn't stressing this stuff to you in particular as though you didn't realise missing things can be relative. I was just rambling in general. #;-}>

Whoa. Uh... looks kinda like... a TV set with a little pair of rabbit ears on top. Heh. Very "Jetsons" ish.

Oh, you'll get comments one way or another if you use it more than once or twice. Take it from me. #;-}>

Oh, man. I wish I had something like that. Just a one key and it makes a smiley.

Strange how such keyboards went out of style... I guess it's because media center buttons and browser shortcut buttons and zoom buttons and the like replaced simple macro-mania.

There's also the fact that you could easily run a little script in your systray that does the same thing my actual keyboard did back in the day, too. So if you really wanted to, I'm sure you could make that old-fashioned dream a reality, even in this crazy modern age.

I guess I can get use to typing it, but I don't think it will be typed fast any time soon. Practice makes perfect I guess. >[:] )

Heh. Well, one thing you've got to watch out for is "shift errors." The most common way I'll typo while making my smiley is to not hold shift down tightly enough to get the hash mark/pound sign out cleanly, and I'll end up (temporarily, I never miss it) with a 3 for hair instead of a #.

Looks like all of your smiley is shift-ed except for the brackets. 3/5 shift-ed. Same as mine (all shifted except the eyes and nose).

Technical smiley discussion = totally geeking out. Love it.
