Nitrome:Featured Article
Hi, since you're around, I would like to ask you for your opinion. =) The current article first in line to be featured on the Main Page: Cuboy can still be improved upon. As such, now I propose to feature the second article in line, Skins. Would you support this? Please reply at Talk:Skins

Also, since it is an article that will be featured, would appreciate if you could help out and do a quick scan. See if the article is up to standard, some touch-up here and there. Thanks!

Miniclip's Nitrome game awards
Hi random, based on the history it looks like you reserved the page a while back. Recently I made an attempt to complete the article. You have a critical reading eye, so that's why I'm approaching you for your critique! If you do have the time, please do comment on Talk:Miniclip's Nitrome game awards.

Thank you =) SQhi&bull;(talk)Revamped 17:32, April 24, 2013 (UTC)

Any information about a demo?
Did Aaron Steed say anything on his Twitter account about allowing people to play a demo of an upcoming Nitrome game? Just curious. -- 21:33, May 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * Okay. -- 21:50, May 5, 2013 (UTC)

A recent edit
An unregistered contributor added a section to you userpage. This section had no content, and its heading had a link with the caption "Hey". The link was unusual, as it was one of those links that was shortened to bit.ly. Seeing as the link was a shortened link, and the section had no content, and how the first edit may by the person was just adding a link (no section), it seemd rather odd, so I reverted the edit.

The person apparently hails from the Philippines. You can see the second version of the edit here. -- 22:26, May 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hmm, it's probably Frosty. --   22:52, May 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh cool, it's Frosty playing To the Moon. Why'd you remove that from my talk page? 05:44, May 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * Because, as I've said, it looked very suspicious. If it was Frosty, then why didn't he log in and put it on your page? Why did he use an IP address? Why did he use a bit.ly shortlink? Why did he not sign it? Why did he make an empty section? It all looked very suspicious, so that's why I removed it. -- 12:24, May 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * Okay okay, but next time, it's still better to say something and leave the message in tact for up front proof. I don't want users getting in the habit of removing messages from others' talk pages because they think the content is suspicious; this should be based on the owner of the talk page's preference. Sometimes it does more harm than good. 14:40, May 10, 2013 (UTC)

RE:A recent edit
Nope, only what was Frosty's IP, and a few others (I can't remember them). How come you asked? It would be rather tedious to constantly do that to every user. -- 02:42, May 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * What others did I look up? -- 20:55, May 11, 2013 (UTC)

What is this?
If they are going to be unused or duplicates of other files, then what are, , , , , and doing on the Nitrome Wiki? -- 12:33, May 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * Okay. I would have deleted them like the Cat Astrophi image you uploaded, but I recognized how the file name was important. -- 00:39, May 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * That's okay. We all make mistakes. -- 02:07, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

Renaming Blueflake
Hi, Random-storykeeper! We're currently trying to find out a better name for Blueflake, since the actual name was created by X10018ro. Do you have any suggestions? If so, please leave them on my talk page. It could include the word Blue in it.

Twitter + Steed
Hi RSK! I was wondering, since I am pretty active here, would it be okay if I also put up Tweets on the Nitrome Wiki's Twitter account? To do so, I need the password to the Nitrome Wiki's Twitter account. Also, has Aaron Steed said anything on his Twitter account about any Nitrome game's he'd like people to beta test? Just curious. Hope we didn't scare him into not putting up any more Nitrome demos. -- 23:02, May 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * I would use the Nitrome Wiki's Twitter to announce stuff such as when a game has a complete video or text walkthrough, newly found beta content, adminships, and interesting Nitrome finds. I wouldn't think Aaron Steed would be working on Ice Breaker iOS, where would they use him? Although it is possible he is working on the game, since Chris Burt-Brown is programming the game. The toys he is talking about is likely God Powers, as Nitrome did mention that God Powers could be used for amusement.-- 17:46, June 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * You can send it to me via Youtube. -- 18:15, June 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * Got it. -- 18:39, June 1, 2013 (UTC)

Upcoming cat game
Where did you heard about the plot of Nitrome's upcoming game? There haven't been talk of such a plot.

&#34;Nitrome is Phantaztic page&#34; (talk) 07:06, June 14, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Beta
The place where you place the name of the game in the URL, I just replaced it with Flightless. That's how I found the Colour Blind page also. Apparently, only three game demos are hosted in that domain of the site. -- 02:20, June 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, beta information is interesting. That's the only reason I share it, and it's not as though the information hurts Nitrome. Also, after Cave Chaos (I think), you couldn't download Nitrome games - I tried downloading Rubble Trouble Moscow's .swf, and it said the file had lost contact with Nitrome.com, and as such, wouldn't run. I believe this works with betas also (I haven't tried though).


 * As such, the only way I could make fake levels was to capture every image from the demo, every frame, animate them, know how to program a flash game, and have a program to do that. Using Game Maker to program would likely take a long time. Furthermore, it would take me a very long time to do so, likely it would take longer than it would be to get a video of each level (and I didn't even have enough time for that before the .swf was updated).


 * Furthermore, to get an image of everything, that would likely cause me to play through half the game. As such, there is no way to even make Colour Blind levels without programming everything from scratch, or taking a video of every level and making the level out of the videos, but then I would already have made a video of each level. As such, unless the .swf for Colour Blind was distributed on another website (which is very, very, very unlikely), I wouldn't be able to make fake levels.


 * As such, the only plausible solution for where the video could come from would be the game, unless I could make many videos and modify them to create levels. -- 03:10, June 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * But where can I get a Nitrome associated source that shows where I got all the footage from? Nitrome doesn't record videos of beta footage, only fans (like me) do. Would something like a Tweet from a Nitrome employee saying all the videos on the Colour Blind demo page are authentic be enough proof? -- 22:24, June 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * So I could simply move the entire beta page to a userspace page and then link that page from the mainspace Colour Blind page? I'm not sure if that's what you meant (although I don't think you meant this). Also, I could get a Nitrome employee to "knight" my videos by asking them on Twitter to look at all the videos and say if they are real.


 * Also, "there needs to be some form of a Nitrome associated source that shows where you get all the beta footage from.", when that isn't available, isn't showing that the content in question can't be fake a good enough source? I know how you said that "there is no public source", but with the use of a few pages and a few words, you could assure that reader that the videos are completely legitimate by saying that the Colour Blind demo .swf cannot in any way be downloaded and played, and that there is not enough resources available in order to make a mod of Colour Blind.


 * Furthermore, I could link to the IndieVault forum discussion that there was a demo for Colour Blind. Along with this, I could show how they are early versions of the game's level by showing how I uploaded 50 videos on that day, and how something like that would be impossible to do if you uploaded them one at a time (as to upload those videos that fast requires you to have an incredibly fast upload speed). This would prove that I had uploaded the videos beforehand and made them private, then made them un-private when Colour Blind was released.


 * Although I do see how this would be long for a reference, and even makes reference to users of the Nitrome Wiki, it would show that the videos are legitimate, because:


 * Since Colour Blind cannot be in any way downloaded and played. As such, you cannot edit any levels as those aren't given to you.
 * Although creation of .gifs of many objects could be created and inserted into something like Game Maker, objects such as the background of Colour Blind would be hard to get a transparent image of
 * The IndieVault link shows the demo exists
 * The speed at which I made the videos un-private, which is shown by Youtube as if the video is uploaded, shows I had previously had the videos private, and as such, uploaded them ahead of time
 * It would be rather hard to modify videos of the level to make it look as though a video of a beta level has been made
 * As such, all this shows the videos are legitimate. I know how you said people want a source they can verify themselves, such as a link, but when that isn't available, doesn't something like this show what is presented isn't fake? Also, in the future, I could get a .swf of the game I'm writing about that has beta elements, however, it wouldn't show the levels and stuff in the video are legitimate if upon playing it the player is greeted with a giant "This game has been URL locked" message (if I were to upload this .swf to an alternate website).


 * However, I'm not sure if playing a .swf of a Nitrome game on another site with AC_RunActiveContent.js in a Firefox add-on titled GreaseMonkey would allow you to play the game. If I can move my videos to a userpsace page than link to that page in the mainspace, then I guess I currently have no problems.-- 20:28, June 17, 2013 (UTC)

Navbox category discussion
I'm not sure, since I did not participate in the discussion which led to this outcome. You may want to check with NOBODY instead. Also, this outcome doesn't have to do so much with the navbox but more of the decision to convert our article pages on Main Games, Mini Games, Winter Games et cetera to category pages. The navbox which was supposed to link the articles ended up linking the article-category mutations. SQhi&bull;(talk)Wiki Planner 07:19, June 18, 2013 (UTC)

How do you do it?
How did you .gif-fy the Nitrome startups?

 * Yeah, how did you do that? For gifs, I always have to take an individual picture, then place them as layers on top of each other, then save them. Pretty cumbersome, but I'm interested on knowing how you make gifs. -- 14:02, July 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * I use Bandicam and GIMP. I've been meaning to post a tutorial about it, but I keep forgetting. 15:16, July 1, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Award
Thanks! I've only been awarded 3 times across my 4 years on the wiki. Oh, so you're not going to be gone forever? That's good. I always thought that when you were going to leave, you were going to leave for good. Yeah, the wiki has improved dramatically since you first came, and it was likely because you began editing that it became better.

Because, you did create Ref templates, and fixed a lot of our policies. Oh, and improved grammar - considerably. Quite likely if you didn't come, their will be still allot of grammar misstakes. Still, you've been an exceptional help. However, if you didn't come, the wiki would have looked considerably poorer, but the wiki still would have likely maintained a large fanbase.

That's what happened to the Pokemon Wiki - lots of viewers, lots of editors, immensely poor articles, corrupt leadership, heavily vandalized, admins edit rarely, people commonly plagiarize from Bulbapedia, barely any policing. Still, with your help, the wiki has become very successful and has good grammar. Thanks for your help! Good luck in uni! -- 14:25, September 2, 2013 (UTC)

Oh well. Even if Monty repeatedly tells me to get off this message, even if I didn't become an admin despite how long i've been here, i'll still miss you, no matter how many Toads say that the princess is in another castle!

RE:Woop I'm back
What? I don't understand. "No, I'm not trying to boot out the other RFAs by the way; I'll be dormant by the end of the first week in January, starting up the spring term." A semicolon between two independent clauses, this semicolon is used to link two related clauses, right? If that is the case (and I'm not missing anything), what is the relationship between not booting out the RFAs and being dormant at the end of January? Also, yes, I do have a lot of projects to do, and it looks like I'll never exhaust them as long as I'm on the wiki. -- 23:56, December 10, 2013 (UTC)
