A duck's quack does not echo. Chuck Norris is solely responsible for this phenomenon. When asked why he will simply stare at you, grimly.

I'm flattered to be a sysop, but of course, I have to start school in the Fall too ;). I will try to log in from time to time though. --Sammka 17:43, 28 August 2006 (MST)

Admin Apps

Apply for the sysop position here. Please leave your name, userpage, and perhaps why you should be a sysop (e.g., a resume of your countervandalism or grammatical edits, your pages, etc.) Some names that I recognize will be automatically made sysops. You probably know who you are if you're one of these people, but it would help if you posted here, so that I don't have to track you down; I need a catalyst for my memory.

However, people I can think of include: Geissler, Dutchman, Yulia, and possibly others; remind me. If the mentioned persons would like to be admins, simply tell me so here, or via email, or by any method which will be conceivably convenient for me.

Skip-- sure, sounds good Max.

haha, righto then. --Sammka 18:31, 28 August 2006 (MST)

I just checked the holders of the duck for the years that I knew people (1997-2002) and they are all LLRT members, so yes, I suppose it did linger within LLRT. However, I don't think I knew the 1997-1998 holder of the Duck, even though I was a member of LLRT in 1998. So either LLRT was bigger than I remember, or there were exceptions.--Sammka 19:17, 28 August 2006 (MST)

oh, and a staff member who you certainly don't know and who definitely isn't on the CTY-Lancaster list would like to say as a random aside that the administration reportedly doesn't check your student disciplinary record when deciding whether to hire you as staff ;). In fact, such records are almost always archived and forgotten at the end of each year (or possibly at the end of one's time as a student).

Response to Alumni: I dunno what he means, but I want something a bit more organized. This is like a database of CTY, and the mailing list is CLEARLY missing some people. Plus for example when reunions come around, very little people know of the "Current Events" page and then we're scattered between Facebook and GoogleGroups and god knows what else! ~Yulia

I have to put up pictures from reunion, but this is STILL a database much more than an alumni sort of thing. Off to pictures! ~Yulia

Eh, just do what you want, if it pisses me off (personally) I'll let ya know, but it probably wont. (im incredibly tired and I just wanna put my pictures up)

Naah, fine with me :P ~Yulia

This may seem like an odd question, and if you have no idea what I'm talking about, please ignore this. But have you by chance played Mao on a trampoline at a Chinese Dinner Party before? -Wendeth

Why did you remove all reference to your last name from the site?--Jeff Sachs 08:14, 22 October 2006 (MST)

Given that this Kevin Lee has edited the Greek 1 page in highly offensive ways before(from IP 68.48.32.122, regarding being raped by a dean), why not just block him and his IP permanently? -Dutchman

Hey, I hear you have the Duck now. Right on. ----Andromeda 13:29, 2 August 2007 (PDT)

Hey Max, how can I send you money... for last night? --Jeff Sachs 23:18, 4 August 2007 (PDT)

Hey max, you're pretty cool :D yay :D and uhhh...yea.... <3 Yulia

Max! <3 -- Marnie

HI MAX.Yulia

Wiki-Related Things

Okay, I have a few wiki-related things that I'm posting on your talk because you seem to be the most active sysop/crat:

• There doesn't seem to be anything like Wikipedia's deletion policies, so I'll just say here that David and Staff:Sirinya Tritipeskul should be deleted. They have no content. (edit: They have been. -FJØRKËN)
• Are there any policies on this site at all? Do we even have a policy/related things namespace?
• What are the chances of templates being added to the wiki?

That's all I can think of at the moment. And we need a MOS/article criteria because most of the articles on this site are nowhere near encyclopedic. Of course, this being original research means that it's never going to be encyclopedic, but it can at least be written well. Ryan 16:05, 13 December 2007 (PST)

Another idea:

• I think it might make things a little easier if we changed the site and course page titles to something like "LAN (Site)" instead of "Site:LAN", or "THEO (Course)" instead of "Course:THEO". It looks a little more like the Wikipedia format, and I personally find it less confusing.

• Not to pile on a list of complaints here (as this wiki is an excellent way to share CTY culture), but what is wrong with wiki formatting (for example, '''? HTML is a bit unwieldy in a wiki article. Ryan 17:02, 19 December 2007 (PST)

Sorry about that...

Sorry about editing in ways that messed you up. I was just trying to save you some work - updating an entire wiki within the course of a few days can't be a very enjoyable task. Kakofonous 09:10, 24 December 2007 (PST)

Here are my responses to your questions (in order)

• (a) I attended Siena this year...so you definitely wouldn't have seen me in real life. I don't really want to say my real name online (taking into account that, despite the small number of them, there have been spam users), so if that is preferred for a sysop, then I'm probably not your guy. I have a relatively large amount of experience with wikis, (with accounts on both Wikipedia and Uncyclopedia) and HTML and...that's probably about all that's relevant regarding me on RealCTY.
• (b) Sure! Assisting with the site in a greater capacity would be something I'd love to do. Obviously some of the more sysop-y [sic] things like blocking bad accounts (seeing as there hasn't been a block in several months) don't need to be done as much here here than on larger sites, but if I can help with other stuff, I will.

Here are my contribs.

This is also on my talk page. I didn't really know which one to put it on. Kakofonous 19:51, 24 December 2007 (PST)

I saw your new message on the Main Page...what was the original overhaul supposed to have done? Kakofonous 12:47, 1 January 2008 (PST)

Any chance of an update? Don't mean to sound pushy or anything, but it's been a while… --Kakofonous 19:43, 29 February 2008 (PST)

I meant as to your decision of whether to sysop me or not...not a site update. My phrasing can be awkward at times... Oh, and there's something weird with the watchlist tool—it's displaying something that appears in the Wikipedia watchlist, but makes no sense here. --Kakofonous 17:54, 9 March 2008 (PDT)

Hi there-- This is Sirinya Tritipeskul writing here. I've tried to delete my page - a student magnanimously created it at Santa Cruz last summer - but I definitely would prefer NOT to see it online. Could you help me do that?

Couch/Grass orgies?

Why have the couch/grass orgy pages been removed, and why is there a message on the home page about them? Is this due to some pressure from JHU, or what? - Ryan 21:24, 28 June 2008 (PDT)

Grass orgies are now allowed :) I'm at first session at the moment. Head on stomach grass orgies are acceptable. Also I have a picture of frank totally leading you away into the distance. The alcove was looking foreard to meeting you.

Should I add a "sites offered" section to course pages? -FJØRKËN

Hiya there. Uh. Sorry for putting in "What the hell happened to this page." I just went to look at the glowstringing page and I felt like some sort of "WARNING this site got screwed up" sign or something. And sorry about the brackets, too, I just don't know where to put the information, since the LOS canon page is hella messy.

How open is the FNORD page to edits? (Such as the one someone tried to make a couple days ago.)-Horklinator
