Halo does not have to do anything. Winners never have to host, they're just given the ability. If not, it falls on either me or Conan and probably me because these contests seem to be more my thing than his.

I think for PC6, we might be giving out an actual award... We're still debating it, though.

I say we do it regular and a mod or Admin always a judge, or at least a veteran of the WC and the winner gets rep and gets to wear a certain avatar until the next winner. Sure, we can't stop other people from using it but if anyone does that they have such a lack of an actual life that it really doesn't matter.

Does WC have something to do with Poetry?
Maybe something ... but I don't know it :p

Anyway I agree on the Mod/Admin thing

Well true that would be nice but isn't this for the warm fuzzy feeling on the inside after you win... XD

I won? o_O

Well, everyone should thank Seth for contacting me - I haven't been to TheHelper in weeks. Anyways, I don't have a lot of time right now but tomorrow I will decide whether I'll host 5 or not.

My sincerest apologies, but today is busy. :eek:

Have a good one!

Halo just go ahead and make the contest and if you don't have a lot of time then someone else can judge, but you can make it, thats not to hard. and we need to make deadlines shorter... we wait like two weeks without anyone entering at the end...

Halo would need to designate a theme and deadline while i re-work all of the rules. This one might take a bit of time, but don't worry... We're doing a few things differently and I think we'll all enjoy them.

Uh. No? You're not part of any "group"... You'll all see the changes when I'm done. Everyone will be waiting until then.

What "group"? There is no group.

Did I tell you guys already that I don't mind judging contests? Just PM me whenever one's going on, I'll get it. I'm on every day, I just don't post a lot anymore.

That's good news because last time, we had one judge and I wasn't really happy with how it ended... Thus, I think we will definitely want at least 3 judges. If HK hosts and judges, then you and I can co-assitant-judge it and we've got a full roster for PC5.

I still wanna do some kind of award along with some more ... Publication for it. You'll see when we start thinking about the next one.

"Uh. No? You're not part of any "group"... You'll all see the changes when I'm done. Everyone will be waiting until then.

I was just coming up with any random crap to get you to tell me early. Parently' didn't work

"Did I tell you guys already that I don't mind judging contests? Just PM me whenever one's going on, I'll get it. I'm on every day, I just don't post a lot anymore."

yeah, as I said we should always have a mod, admin or if need be someone a mod or admin trusted or such.
oh and Conan, check out Remembrance.

agreed

"I still wanna do some kind of award along with some more ... Publication for it. You'll see when we start thinking about the next one."

possibly, well... (a thought I had) maybe an announcement is a bit much. the award, rep as always and as I've said before I have an avatar that would work, and then you could tell about it in your custom title, if you don't have one then people will still understand it.. or if anyone has a better one, we could see if that one works too.

General chit-chat
Help Users
  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New dessert added to recipes Southern Pecan Praline Cake https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-southern-pecan-praline-cake.193555/
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
