Hello 28bytes, you were recommended to me by the very helpful [[User:Cassianto]]. When I created my account I used the name "TheDarkUnicorn" but I actually wanted just the name "Dark Unicorn" (without "The", and with a space in between the words) as my username but I think "DarkUnicorn" was taken or was told it was too similiar or something, and I didn't want to add silly numbers after the name hence the "the". I also didn't realize I could put spaces in until after I created the account. I would really appreciate if you could change my current username to "Dark Unicorn" - as per my signature, as this is how I would rather be identified. Thanks for your time. <span style="text-shadow:7px 7px 8px Black;">[[User talk:TheDarkUnicorn|<font face="Papyrus">Dark Unicorn</font>]]</span> 20:24, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Help!

I found out while looking in the talk of the User:!! page, someone has hacked my old Goglogo2 account...I need help finding out who it is.--GoglogoFinal (talk) 21:42, 1 April 2013 (UTC)GoglogoFinal

I think he's saying that it needs a block from a compromise. As for finding out who did it you'll need to see a Checkuser. MIVP - (Can I Help?) (Maybe a bit of tea for thought?) 17:46, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Barnstar of Good Humor
Good luck with that, it's been years since reading AN/I hasn't made me want to gag. made me laugh. Also your user talk is looking very empty for a Bureaucrat's. Not sure if it's just the archiving or if it's an April Fool's that needs fixing. MIVP - (Can I Help?) (Maybe a bit of tea for thought?) 17:46, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
(watching) no, his talk is always clean like this, well archived - on my first day being mentioned on AN/I ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:32, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
Oh, I guess i'm just used to looking at his user page then. My bad ^^' MIVP - (Can I Help? ◕‿◕) (Maybe a bit of tea for thought?) 16:40, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
Thank you Matticusmadness, I am glad you appreciated my humor. :) Cheers, 28bytes (talk) 11:57, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Good move

The edit conflict I got, caused by your archiving just now, kept me from calling someone "stupid". Thank you. --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:20, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

I was a big fan of Mr. Ebert. To see that discussion devolve into arguments over outing policy, of all things, made me a little angry, to be honest with you. 28bytes (talk) 18:23, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
Me too; I remember when he was still on PBS. I always liked the fat one better than the bald one, but I enjoyed them both. --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:31, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
(edit conflict) Glad to see others discussing this. It's now been 5 days since I posted to the dramaz boards, wp:bn doesn't count. \o/ — Ched :  ?  18:34, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
Did you know ... that Al Green said that recording his song "Love and Happiness" was "like mixing explosive chemicals – everything had to be added at just the right time and at just the right dose"? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:37, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

IRC cloak

Hello! You've requested a cloak for IRC, however there's a problem. The system doesn't allow digits right after the slash. So if you want a cloak we need to find another way to set it up. One solution would be wikipedia/twenty-eight-bytes or something like that. If you got a better idea then let me know on my meta talk page. Regards, -Barras talk 12:08, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Replied on your meta talk page. Thanks, 28bytes (talk) 03:00, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
OK, underscores actually don't work in cloaks at all on IRC. I now made it wikipedia/-28bytes. I hope that is ok for you. If you want it changed to the numbers, just leave me a line at meta. Regards, -Barras talk 19:38, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
Thanks Barras, that should work fine. I'll give it a try. 28bytes (talk) 02:43, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Will you assist a user to change their username? [1] Thank you in advance. My76Strat (talk) 15:51, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Russavia ban

Thanks for the discussion close. While I disagree with the consensus there, it's clear that the discussion wouldn't have led to anything and would have produced a lot of heat had it been left open. Ryan Vesey 01:19, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

"Heat" is a nice word for it. :) 28bytes (talk) 01:20, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Your input is requested

Greetings, 28bytes/Archive 38! I've come here to ask you to take part in the survey at User:AutomaticStrikeout/Are admins interested in a RfB?. I am trying to gauge the general level of interest that administrators have in running for cratship, as well as pinpoint the factors that affect that interest level. Your input will be appreciated. Happy editing, AutomaticStrikeout (TCSign AAPT) 01:27, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Sorry. It hadn't yet occurred to me that I should check to see if someone is already a crat before posting this on their talk page. Of course, you are still welcome to leave a comment if you have anything to say. AutomaticStrikeout (TCSign AAPT) 01:38, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
I made some space for you, so you don't feel left out :) Mark Arsten (talk) 16:55, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
Sorry .. but I did have to "LOL" at this one. :) — Ched :  ?  17:07, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
This user is a bureaucrat, and might like to be one some day.
