Professional software engineer, for the last quarter-century or so. (I was a physics major in college, but afterwards ended up finding playing with computers more fun, not to mention more employable.) Oh, and play KSP, of course.

Also, On 1/26/2021 at 2:26 PM, Snark said: Sal's special. He was a mentor and friend to us during his time here. For those of us who've been fortunate enough to know him personally, he's the guy who showed us what it means to be a moderator here. The special title is our small way of honoring him.

To be honest, the "dumb onion" thing started off as a joke about five years back. We've been hit with sensitivity training on the community college campus where I work at for the last five years, each year it has gotten more over-the-top. Having to be careful of what I say on the campus, I changed "dumb bunny" as so I would not offend bunnies, people identifying as bunnies, or people who like bunnies to "dumb onion." I do have many layers, though. So, yes, your observation is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and let's try to keep that thread that way. Besides, I looked at the thread after your post. And not one fan on it! What a disappointment. I bought a fan off Amazon for my bedroom, as I have to keep air circulating and need white noise to be able to sleep thanks to tinnitus and claustrophobia. So, when you highlighted that post and it said regarding fan pages, I became exicted! Who would have thought we have pages dedicated to fans! Wow, was I disappointed. What a complete waste of a perfectly good mouse-click. Had I known that, I could have messed with that "Don't Click This" thread! Spoiler No, just kidding.

And if @Vanamonde has the record for the longest time necropost I don't think that they would like to give up the title. Besides, you would have to find a different post as technically it was used in June and so would be less than a year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My seven year Necropost letting people know that BrickMod was back in development looks like small potatoes! That’s not a necro. If you post to an old thread and have something significant to contribute, there’s nothing wrong with that. As long as it’s on topic and contributes to the discussion, that’s completely fine under the rules. This is common in the Science and Spaceflight sub, as missions can take years to reach their destinations, and there will be little discussion during that travel. We’d much rather you find the old thread and post there, then make us dig for it and then do a merge, which sometimes can be problematic. The problem with actual necros is that the game has gone through so many versions over the years, the vast majority of game related threads are outdated, and modern answers won’t apply correctly. Posting an answer that only works in 1.9 or later versions in a thread relating to 1.3 games is a necro, and not a good thing. Also, posting in a thread just to post in an old thread is heavily frowned upon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
