Well, in spite of Not I's commendable detective work, it was easy to know your real name. The link to your website in your profile was a bit of a giveaway. :P (Just as the link to my website is a bit of a giveaway!) Oh, and before you say "Well, my last name isnt' anywhere on my website," let me say "Well, it could've been deduced. Eventually."

Ah! Separation of first and surname. We're expecting another Supreme Court ruling on that in the near future. EDIT: On a more helpful note, I just had a thought: You can ask everyone to edit their messages wherever your name occurs, then swear us all to secrecy. Or, failing that, raid Google's headquarters with a giant axe and hack apart their servers.

quote:The worst thing is, if the thread gets deleted, it will forever remain in the index/cache. I have a thread from some years back where I gave my email address as firstname_lastname@web.de (you can find out if you really feel like it, but I'd rather not give Google another hit). So I suggest that if you want it taken down, you ask Not I and spy now, rather than hoping for it to sink into the depths of the Google index. ;) It's bad enough TGM kept calling me by my last name, and TM has my real name next to the pseudonym on his site. :rolleyes: -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Depending on the website, Google's caches can be made as far as a few weeks apart. So if they're going to edit their posts to remove Primaryism's name, they'd better do so as quickly as possible before the Shadow of Cache passes over the forum... -------------------- The A.E. van Vogt Information Site My Tribute to the Greatest Writer of the Science Fiction Golden Age Posts: 907 | Registered: Monday, July 15 2002 07:00 |

No kidding! But they're nothing compared to the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. I'm pretty sure Google throws away the older data after its updated, while the Wayback Machine keeps everything. However, the latter doesn't store as much with each cache—most larger images tend to get passed over. But it's still a lot more data than Goolge stores.

That's still debatable. Google tends to go much deeper into a site with its caches than the Wayback Machine does with its storage. It has many versions stored, but each one may only be a few pages. Google has every single piece of that page cached, but only once. [Edit: It's still a signature, it just has a typo. Some people...] —Alorael, who has no website to give away sensitive information. Maybe if he did he'd appear on Googlism... [ Sunday, August 21, 2005 13:37: Message edited by: 'Lo ] Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Yeah, that's me. My hair's normally a light brown, but due to being in the sun a fair bit and other stuff, it's a bit lighter than usual. Though, if we went by my eyebrows, then my hair should be really dark... Generally.. there are three facial expressions - moody, but innocent, happy-happy or looking really devious. I think, in this case, it was more that I was tired, than looking genuinely innocent. -------------------- Aut Tace Aut Loquere Meliora Silencio Posts: 1487 | Registered: Sunday, February 10 2002 08:00 |

As a person, I'm pale as a sheet, usually. As far as my hair goes, it does have a slight ginger tint, brought out by a light use of blonde hair dye. Maybe it's just the scanner or your monitor, though. -------------------- Aut Tace Aut Loquere Meliora Silencio Posts: 1487 | Registered: Sunday, February 10 2002 08:00 |

It's not a bright orange. It's a pale, dingy orange, like that of the vulture's head, but very slightly more orange.  (Incidentally, I appear to be the only one that likes the vulture...)

1) How does Drakey do grocery shopping without causing a riot? He uses a combination of mail-order and the internet to get what he needs. Second Question: There is a reason why our Drakefyre is 2nd/3rd in the Spiderweb Hierachy. And to answer the unspoken third question: Vahnatai have access to alot of pretty crystals which are worth a lot of money and that's why he doesn't have to go out and work (And cause riots) -------------------- "He's mine, go get your own human plaything!"

quote:Sure, mail-order. That's what I thought. But then I realised... how does he open the door to recieve his deliveries? Well, to cut a long story short, I eventually deduced that since Drakey likes Exile over Avernum, he must live on food produced with the spell Manna. And that's it. No pizza, no coke, and no DVD's from Amazon. quote:Hmm. I thought he was living next door and decided to stake a claim, in the eventual hope of becoming Admin, and going power mad. I've heard vahnatai do that a lot... -------------------- "I am a living sign..." Thus endeth this post. Posts: 2864 | Registered: Monday, September 8 2003 07:00 |

Don't be silly. Drakey makes Force Barriers to block his door so he can pick up his deliveries. He's also better at blending in than you seem to think. Calista Flockhart has managed have a successful career despite being a vahnatai, you know. —Alorael, who can also attest to the fact that the delivery man is not necessarily a problem if you're willing to take all necessary steps.

Alo, you forgot the 'who' on a post a while back. Just so you know. Also, someone's bound to act on the fact that several deliverymen have all disappeared in the same vicinity. Anyway, we need to make our our forum archiving system that saves the stage of the page with each new post. Then Mariann could purge all she wanted, we'd know for sure who was the first to 1000, and us newbies could finally get a taste of Xian Skull. -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

Yes, that can be a problem. The obvious solution is not to stick with ordering food and not to leave a body. (Hint: the two are linked.) Most companies won't worry about a delivery man or two, and there are plenty of companies that deliver. —Alorael, who is still on the C's in the Yellow Pages.
