Maybe you can help me!--Ashka Harley 09:21, 24 August 2008 (UTC) Can you help me now, please!?! --Ashka Harley 11:28, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!

Gosh, you didn't have to steal my color too! That orange is a very personal orange. Oh, whatever. I'll just change mine to the exact color of my signature. You look like a burgundy kind of person, yourself. Armantula513 [ADMIN] (Talk&bull;Contribs) 20:49, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

congrats
Congrats on becoming an Admin, Piratehunter! Samuslovr1 22:45, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Congrats!
Just figured I'd say congratulations for becoming admin. You may not know me, but I believe you'll make a great admin. Reptilia 00:16, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

RE: Ridley
I remember in the beginning of Super Metroid that you could hit Ridley from any angle. Although it's only the beginning in that game, and is quite debatable, I specifically remember being able to damage Ridley from any angle in the later battle. Here is proof, in the form of a Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrnfvBGTVGI

Nice fanon
Thanks! I like your fanon stuff too. I'll have more coming soon.--Moblin slayer 16:44, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

I'd like to add that I too like to draw new stuff for my fanon. Though I just thought of the plot, I've had the suit ideas (and characters; well, Leax at least) for about three years, along with some other stuff that I decided was just to out there (i.e. the X-suit; a suit that used by a hunter who had been infected by X but used a vaccine to assimilate the X, giving him their abilities-just a little too out there.) Oh, did you ever think of starting a Metroid Fanon wiki? I know of a Zelda fanon wiki, and that turned out pretty good...--Moblin slayer 04:12, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Just A Thought
Hey, I just had an idea. Over on Zeldapedia we have something called the temple of courage which is essentially a popularity contest between two things in the series. Did you ever think of doing something like that over here?--Moblin slayer 17:37, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Could you explain it a little more? P i r a t e h u n t e r {ADMIN} (Talk&bull;Contribs) 23:35, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

this should clarify. That link will take you to the temple of courage. It has a nice explanation on the page. Also, click on the suggestions link if you want to see how fights are chosen. If you need something to be further clarified, just tell me. --Moblin slayer 03:08, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Should this be deleted?
Should the comments on This Page be deleted? Samuslovr1 13:34, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

That has already been taken care of. It appeared to be some sort of solicitation, but did not give the name of the product/service advertised. Very confusing indeed. Armantula513 [ADMIN] (Talk&bull;Contribs) 14:12, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

A small task?
Could you do me a favor? An IP has done extensive edits to the Samus Aran page, and has put in (for once) a large amount of canonically-valid information. But the thing is, this person had completely overused parentheses throughout his/her entire edit. I don't want to delete the information, but rather reword it into article-quality material. I would do it, but I'm extremely busy doing things on other Wikis at the moment.....

Actually, by the time you read this, someone else may have already beaten you to the punch. This is just a little notice, and is by no means "an order from a superior". If it hasn't been done & you just don't have the time, feel free to pass this task onto another user, if you'd like. I bet Squeemaster or Metroidhunter32 would love to do it. On a side note: Don't worry, I'll educate you on the IRC very shortly. It's just that I've been a little busy lately, and the last time I tried to educate you by posting up info on your talk, my power went out! Armantula513 [ADMIN] (Talk&bull;Contribs) 07:13, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

User/thing/whatever to be blocked/deleted


I personoly think OVoBqcEYPNIxM should be blocked/deleted, it's just.....Disgusting. Samuslovr1 00:09, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

RE: Why?
Could you please tell me what page you're looking at? If its Talk:Spire I call myself a noob because I use the imp. and trace sooooo..... if thats not it tell me. Samuslovr1 20:40, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

No I was actually asking about the user you said you would like to be blocked. The one mentioned above. I want to know why they should be blocked? Is it because of there name? P i r a t e h u n t e r {ADMIN} (Talk&bull;Contribs) 20:47, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

That page was vandalism & spam at the same time. Samuslovr1 seemed to have made an.... incorrect choice of words. So therefore...... no user needs to be blocked. Problem solved! Let's move on, shall we? Armantula513 [ADMIN] (Talk&bull;Contribs) 20:54, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Okay then. This has been an odd conversation, and right now I say yeah, let's move on. P i r a t e h u n t e r {ADMIN} (Talk&bull;Contribs) 20:56, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for any confusion. Samuslovr1 21:27, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Sig. + time
Do you know how to add the time when you use a style type one like this? I need it so I can use the sig. below instead of four tides. Thanks!

S a m u s l o v r 1

Samuslovr1 00:49, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Simple. Just use 5 tildes instead of 4. Where 4 produces your name and the date, 5 only produces the date. Nice signature. But could you maybe change the color scheme? Because it looks alot like mine, and I like to keep my signature special, so that you know who it is at a first glance. So yeah could you maybe change the colors just a bit? P i r a t e h u n t e r {ADMIN} (Talk&bull;Contribs) 02:51, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Sure thing! Samuslovr1 13:59, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

New signature
Like my new sig.?

S a m u s l <span style="color:#ff0000;">o <span style="color:#0055ff;">v <span style="color:#228B22;">r <span style="color:#000000;">1 14:34, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Nice. And very unique! P i r a t e h u n t e r {ADMIN} (Talk&bull;Contribs) 19:43, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

An image topic
Are images like the one at the right actual canon images distributed by the MP3 art team? If they're not, and they aren't applied to any user pages, talks, or forums, then I'll have to ask you to click DELETE for this one and others like it. 'Cause you know, they're considered fanart by then, and you know the rules about fanart..... (They have to be deleted after 7 days if they haven't been applied to something.) Armantula513 [ADMIN] (Talk&bull;Contribs) 21:51, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Good point. Wait, do I sense a bit of hostility in that post? Something wrong? P i r a t e h u n t e r {ADMIN} (Talk&bull;Contribs) 19:39, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

No, no, no. No hostility here. I've become a little bit more blunt on this site ever since I became an Admin. I guess that this is to be expected. It's necessary! But anyway, there are more of those, you know. Armantula513 [ADMIN] (Talk&bull;Contribs) 21:33, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Oh, ok. Tell me what they're called and I'll take care of them, 'cause I don't know the names. P i r a t e h u n t e r {ADMIN} (Talk&bull;Contribs) 22:02, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Metroid Fanon Wiki
Hello, this is Moblin slayer! I have requested a Metroid fanon wiki and would like your support. If you wish, you may ask other users to help out. Here is a link to the request.--Moblin slayer 01:51, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

You should totalley do it! I'd be perfect for your stuff!Samusiscool2 19:31, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, but in my opinion I wouldn't won't a Fanon wiki for Metroid. The way I see it, if there is an actual place where people can show their fanon, Our fanon won't seem as important to us, as in "sentimental values" and I think my fanon is pretty good. And I am sure everyone else here seems the same way about theirs, as in they believe their fanon is great (which it is). It's a weird thing, but I just want to keep thinking my fanon is unique. So, I'm going to have to vote no on a Metroid Fanon Wiki. Besides there is already a Nintendo Fanon Wiki, but I wouldn't put my fanon on there. I just want to keep mine, my own. P i r a t e h u n t e r {ADMIN} (Talk&bull;Contribs) 19:36, 30 August 2008 (UTC) nice point dude. I respect your opinion.Samusiscool2 19:41, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I see your point, and I too respect that. However, there are other users (such as myself) who want a place to put their fanon; actually put the story where it can be admired by all. Since we can't put fanon on this wikia (wihtout having HUGE userpages), a Metroid Fanon Wiki seems to be the best solution to that dilemna. However, I completely understand why you don't want a Metroid Fanon wiki. May I just point out, though, the case of Zelda Fanon Wiki? On ZF, many users post their stories, and feel great about being recognised for it. Basically, everyone knows who did what, and thus people still feel that their fanon is important to them. Does that make any sense?--Moblin slayer 19:51, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

I guess I just don't want to see my fanon cannibalized by other people, you know what I mean. I just want mine to stay unique without people recreating the stories, and changing the names. This is one of my more creative hobbies and I just don't want that to be destroyed by people that would do that. If everyone wants a Metroid Fanon Wiki, then, I suppose you've persuaded me. I'll vote for it, so everyone will be happy. But don't count on my fanon to be on there unless you can guarantee it won't get cannibalized, If you can then I will add mine to it, but otherwise I will not. P i r a t e h u n t e r {ADMIN} (Talk&bull;Contribs) 20:06, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

If you do decide to join, I will do my best to keep your fanon from being ripped off. I will start off b-crat, and on the front page there will be "anyone who ripoffs another user's fanon will be in danger of being banned, and having their ripoff fanon deleted." And if you don't trust my word enough, don't worry. If you do decide to join I will make you admin or b-crat, as you do seem to have both fanon and wikia experience, I would not be able to run the wikia on my own, and you are very trustworthy as far as I can tell. You seem to be devoted to protecting your own fanon, which shows me that you would also make sure other user's fanon is safe. On a side note, fanon-ripoff has never been a problem on Zelda Fanon. I really do hope that you reconsider, as I consider your fanon and your wikia skills invaluable and indisposable. If you want me to stop trying to convince, very well, just tell me and I'll stop. Either way, thank you for the support vote for the wikia.--Moblin slayer 22:24, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

New Images Policy
As you may be aware, the RfC regarding images has just closed and has resulted in the new Images Policy. All administrators are advised to read it and take action against images in violation of policy as needed. -- FastLizard4 {ADMIN} (Talk&bull;Contribs&bull;Logs) 08:05, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

RE: Login Problems
What browser and operating system are you using? Oh, and by the way, did you receive the email sent to your Wikitroid email address on or about the 19th of December, 2008? -- FastLizard4 {ADMIN} (Talk&bull;Contribs&bull;Logs) 05:57, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Nice to see you back!
Haven't seen a thing from you for like, 2 months!Samuslovr1 22:12, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes! Welcome back! Squee master 22:36, 20 January 2009 (UTC) Long Live the Squees!

Yes, it will be very interesting to see how the past 6 months have molded your persona. *evil laughter* Armantula513 [ADMIN] (Talk&bull;Contribs) 22:41, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Hahaha, thanks everybody! Great to be back. I had to do a ton of thing these past months: Transitioning to a different, faster internet, two brand new computers not working right, and a whole lot of other random business. I'm still having problems withe my login. I've made sure cookies are accepted on my browser, made sure I checked the box when logging in, only thing I haven't done is reinstalling my Firefox. I'm going to go ahead and do that, hopefully it will do the trick. Oh, and very funny FastLizard, you're not the only Terminator fan here, meh!

A question about uploading images
I would like to upload an image (my fanart to be exact) and the source filename contains some personal information. Is that information going to be viewable in any way?<span style="color:#ff0000;">S <span style="color:#000000;">a <span style="color:#228B22;">m <span style="color:#0055ff;">u <span style="color:#ff0000;">s <span style="color:#000000;">l <span style="color:#ff0000;">o <span style="color:#0055ff;">v <span style="color:#228B22;">r <span style="color:#000000;">1 23:18, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

I would say that this really depends on the source filename. I would need a few more specifics before giving an answer, if this is alright. Better yet, why not just change the filename? The filename that you provide isn't absolutely set in stone. As long as the filename doesn't contain an email address, url, or password, I don't think that any personal information will be viewable. But please respond to this just to be safe. What do you think, Piratehunter? Armantula513 [ADMIN] (Talk&bull;Contribs) 11:05, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

The source filename contains my name, and I can't have that floating around the internet. The source filename can't be changed, the destination filename can though. Thanks. <span style="color:#ff0000;">S <span style="color:#000000;">a <span style="color:#228B22;">m <span style="color:#0055ff;">u <span style="color:#ff0000;">s <span style="color:#000000;">l <span style="color:#ff0000;">o <span style="color:#0055ff;">v <span style="color:#228B22;">r <span style="color:#000000;">1 21:22, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

RE:Help an Old Friend?
Actually, I've encountered this problem before. I did two things to fix it, (of the two I am unsure of which did it,) including... Checking the "Keep me logged in" box at the login screen, and reinstalling Firefox. If one of these two things didn't solve the problem, then the problem might have solved itself over a period of time. If anything, I would guess that you inadvertently removed the cookie that keeps you logged into your Wikia account. Armantula513 [ADMIN] (Talk&bull;Contribs) 10:54, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
