Editing User talk:SwordFire

==Thanks for the help==
I thank you for your determination to revert the vandalism which is occuring here on on the NeoDex. It's beginning to be a daily event now, though i'm sure it will stop soon...eventually it will...hopefully. :o *crosses fingers* :D --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 11:55, 10 Mar 2007 (CST)

:Considering the vandals (or even possibly a single vandal) are coming from different IPs, and always attacking the same page, I don't think they will give up that easily... :/ --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] 19:08, 10 Mar 2007 (CST)

==Admin status acquired==
For your efforts and dedication to the NeoDex, i feel you have earned the right to be an administrator. congradulations! :) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:59, 18 Apr 2007 (CDT)

:I'd also like to extend my congratulations! Now you won't have to revert spammy edits manually ;D --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 15:23, 18 Apr 2007 (CDT)

:Congratulations :)--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 15:39, 18 Apr 2007 (CDT)

:Thank you - It is indeed much easier :D --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] 08:24, 19 Apr 2007 (CDT)

::Seems you have taken the guard. I hope people aren't giving you too much trouble.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 15:08, 13 Jun 2008 (CDT)

:::With Jacob suddenly go MIA for past few weeks (although he does went online periodically on Neopets), someone has to hold the fort here... I'm SO glad to see you here. :D --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] <sup>( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] )</sup> 23:39, 13 Jun 2008 (CDT)

::::I am afraid I am going on a school trip next week, that means no Internet for me :| I will try to remember to check back more often, though.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 16:50, 14 Jun 2008 (CDT)

==NeoDex Search Plugin==
Can you explain more about the "Neodex Search Plugin"? This the first I've heard about it. Is it a project you worked at on the side? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:51, 16 Sep 2007 (UTC)
:As I mentioned, it's nothing much. It allows the user to add the Neodex to their search bar within Firefox 2 and IE 7, thus allowing them to search for an article on Neodex directly from the browser itself. If required, we can also add search suggestions to the search (eg. typing "neo" returns "neopets", "neopoints" and "neodex"), but for that we'll require at least a database.
:It's something I noticed while setting up Firefox 2 at my workplace. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] 00:45, 17 Sep 2007 (UTC)

== Access to Secret Staff Forum Granted ==

Hello :) As a staff member at PPT, you have now been granted access to the top secret staff board at PPT for you to meet all the other staff members, and to partake in any site discussion that goes there. We also hold optional weekly meetings online if you wish to attend and find help for any PPT-related projects that you may be on.

All PPT staff now has access, and we need some NeoDex representation there, so head to http://www.pinkpt.com/forum/ - register an account and email me kym@kymhuynh.com your username there so I can grant you access. Hope to see you there. --[[User:Yukio|Kym]] 06:54, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

==Double Redirects==
Oh, thanks for picking up all those double redirects! I didn't think to check for them when I moved the page, sorry. ;) --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 02:27, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

:I was just looking through the [[Special:Specialpages|special pages]] when I noticed the double redirects. :P --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] <sup>( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] )</sup> 15:25, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

== I need a replacement...or something ==

I'm finally making it officially and stating that I won't be here for awhile, and will need someone to take the lead...or something. Go to the [[NeoDex_talk:Community_Portal#New_Head.2Fadditional_Head_Admin_needed|talk page of the community portal]] to see what I'm talking about. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 08:22, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

==Anti-spam==

Nice anti-vandal double-teaming, today! ^^ --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 18:31, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

:Indeed. :D --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] <sup>( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] )</sup> 18:38, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

==daily dare==
okay, thanks for clearing that up. your idea seems more efficient. i will try to keep the 2009 page up to date, and if you please, will research the 2008 daily dare and upload the information onto the 2008 page.

== I don't really mind ==
I don't really mind about continuous changes. NeoDex has to include some information about shop stocks.  Take a look at this article: [[Faerie Weapon Shop]] [[User:A Neezles A|A Neezles A]] 18:26, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
== Talk with piano ==
He's underage, so I can't contact him through Neomail. And are you abided by COPPA? Is this site 13+ only? [[User:A Neezles A|A Neezles A]] 16:41, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

: Sorry, my bad. But still, Neodex is not a place for private communication. As for COPPA, not for Neodex. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] <sup>( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] )</sup> 16:53, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi I am the underage guy who's 8 years old.  Allan  [[User:Piano965|Piano965]]

== Winner's curse ==
Hey, short version: I deleted the article Winner's curse because quite frankly, I couldn't see how it was an article (see [http://pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php/Special:Undelete/Winner%27s_curse version history]). 

Long problem-filled version: As you may remember, I resigned a few months ago. So I don't know if the deletion I performed can be considered legitimate. Problem is, nobody ever removed my powers from me. I messaged Kym a few days ago about that. It would be nice if you could tell me what I am supposed to do and if I should restrain myself from sysop actions. --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 01:33, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

:Once you became sysop, you became a Neodex slave forever, muahaha! ;P

:Jokes aside, I agree that we should remove the sysop permission for inactive accounts (> 3~6 months?) and clearly resigned users, in case of account hijack. If they return again, we could add the sysop permission again. At the moment, if any one of us (sysop) go rouge, we might as well kill the whole Neodex (you know, due to lack of active Neodex administrator to stop rouge sysop in time). :P

:I had tried sending private message to Kym several times on the forum on a different issue, but I can't seem to get him. I will try again on another communication channel. In the mean time, I don't mind if you use the sysop power. Nice to see you again. :) --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] <sup>( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] )</sup> 02:29, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

::Hehe, thanks mate :) Would be nice if you could also address the inactivity of [[User:NeoEva88]] alongside with me.
::Looks like we really have got some activity problems at Neodex :/ At the moment, I do not intend to return (due to me being busy with lessons and real life) and as far as I can see, most of the others aren't very active either. We have like 5 active users at one time at most, of which maybe two are sysops *sigh* What are you gonna do, it has always been like that as far as I can remember. I am glad there are still a few (you, Dizzy and Emeraldosprey) who keep the thing running. Good job, guys :D *hands cookies* --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 23:03, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

:::Hi guys, thanks for the pokes. I made all the changes requested and have removed sysop powers from inactive accounts identified. I usually reply to emails and PMs at 12 PM and 4 PM every day. If I haven't replied to any of your messages in three days, feel free to send it again.--[[User:Yukio|Kym]] 02:17, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

::::Kym, I don't really think this is a good idea because the inactive editors may come back sooner or later and will be shocked to see that they no longer have admin powers. [[User:A Neezles A|Destiny Charlotte]] 02:23, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

:::::Don't worry. :) The accounts I sent to Kym are truly inactive or retired. If you're wondering, the only inactive account which I sent to Kym does not have any edit since 2006. *Pointing to [[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]], mentioned by Demon* --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] <sup>( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] )</sup> 19:28, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Ahhh, so that's how it went down. MWA HA HA HA HA!!! *ahem* Will go and try some things out to help. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:34, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

== Re: Thank you for your help ==

Ah, you're welcome! I myself have been kind of obsessed with Neopets lately, so why not help the Neodex with all these new things I've learned on Neopets and add them to NeoDex ;D [[User:A Neezles A|Charlotte xoxo]] 03:33, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
:Oh, and the only active editors right now are you, me, and [[User:KyogreOfTheSea|KyogreOfTheSea]] who helps out with the [[Daily Puzzle]] answers :D {{sign|A Neezles A}}
::And of course, [[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] and [[User:Emeraldosprey|Emeraldosprey]].
:That vandalism made by Hagrid was annoying, wasn't it? ;) {{sign|A Neezles A}}
::And I could be very scary when annoyed. In worst cases, I'm willing to block the whole ISP for extended period of time (which I did it before). --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] <sup>( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] )</sup> 18:56, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
:::I'm currently an active user too. :P And also, would it be appropriate for the vandalized pages to be move-protected? I predict that the vandal would be back sometime later on. [[User:Pinkgirl34|Pinkgirl]][[User talk:Pinkgirl34|34]] 22:35, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
::::Yep, you were right. Hagrid is back on [[User:Wheeler|Wheeler]] user, but luckily [[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] blocked him and moved all pages to what it was. [[User:A Neezles A|Destiny Charlotte]] 02:03, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

::::::Um, SwordFire, the vandalism attack came back on [[User:Tewapack]] and [[User:Willy on Wheels]]. Willy on Wheels? Wikipedia vandaliser-- I should have known! [[User:A Neezles A|Destiny Charlotte]] 15:13, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
::::::: And if you or any admin can PLEASE restore my userpage and talk page to the way it was! [[User:A Neezles A|Destiny Charlotte]] 15:22, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
:::::::: Yeah. I'm waking up earlier than usual just to find some vandalism to revert. Luckily there's an early bird around ;D [[User:A Neezles A|Destiny Charlotte]] 03:10, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::BTW, the weekend is coming up. If many people aren't on then I'll be there to revert the vandalism. And also, for some reason I wake up earlier on the weekends ;D [[User:A Neezles A|Destiny Charlotte]] 03:55, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
