I have some concerns about your claiming of TLDs and other codes using your puppets. I see another one has been registered. Whilst it's not my place to contest the legitimacy of individual claims, I do feel it might be courteous to other NSers to limit yourself to only one or two. After all, TLDs and such like are not even major staples of RP. I appreciate 26³ (is that how many combos there are? My maths sucks) is a lot...but some of these would be pretty unusable or undesirable. Maybe you could voluntarily limit yourself?

Also, what did you decide about hosting the UN?Gruen2alk 22:38, 30 October 2005 (GMT)

So far fairly few nations have registered TLDs, and there hasn't been any conflict - except from Swilatia claiming three TLDs for a single nation, one of which I had already claimed. I have no intention to keep on adding puppets, don't worry. Nor do I claim several TLDs per nation; Swilatia isn't the only one to have done that. Regarding the UN, I'm still thinking about it. Oh, and my maths is no good either. ;) Still, claiming five TLDs out of a total of 17,576 (or, more accurately, 18,252 if you count two-letter TLDs in addition) still leaves a lot open for everyone else (18,247 to be precise, if your math and mine are both correct).

I withdraw my objections. However, it is something we should bear in the mind for the future.Gruen2alk 23:39, 30 October 2005 (GMT)

I agree. You did well to point it out, anyway. Aridd 31 October 2005.

Please use the preview button

Aridd/Archives/2005,
I've noticed that you've been saving the same page many times, trying to figure out how a piece of code works. Please make use of the "Show preview" button, found next to the "Save page" button at the bottom of the page. Each time a page is saved, a copy of the current revision is saved. This is an important feature of NSwiki, as it helps us prevent vandalism, but is also uses up server space. This adds up quickly when the page is saved many times. Using "Show preview" allows you to check all changes, to make sure you haven't made any mistakes in the code, without unnecessarily saving. So if you're trying to perform a complicated bit of code, please click the "show preview" button before saving the page. Thanks for using NSwiki responsibly. Gruen2alk 23:26, 11 December 2005 (GMT)

I always do. I'm very careful to use the Preview function, even when I'm fairly sure what the result is going to be. I'm assuming you're refering to something earlier today when I saved the same page three times. That was because the NSwiki crashed on me the first two times, and I simply refreshed without thinking, instead of checking to see whether it had been saved. But I always use Preview before every single change I make. - Aridd, 23:34, 11 December 2005 (GMT)

Really. Well, ok. It looks like you've been saving five or six edits in quick succession quite a lot. If not, I'm sorry. Nonetheless, a little reminder never hurt anyone. Gruen2alk 23:52, 11 December 2005 (GMT)

Ah, that. Right, I see what you mean. That's not code-checking; I did use Preview before each of those saves. I just happened to edit it section by section rather than all in one go. Perhaps not very smart of me; I'll see if I can do one big edit rather than several small ones in future, if that's what the problem is? Aridd, 00:05, 12 December 2005 (GMT)

If possible, yes. Obviously, it's not a 'rule': it's simply a consideration for Goober's server, which, as noted, is looking a little peaky at the minute in any case. Thank you. Gruen2alk 01:06, 12 December 2005 (GMT)
