Hm... I think this would be more like it. But more towards advertising... Well, this is my opinion about TH, I made it in my spare time when I was digging coal and cutting weeds out by the prairie.

The Helper offers free technical support for computer games, computer hardware, and other computer software. Staffed by volunteer tech support workers, The Helper is highly regarded as a premium destination for those who are experiencing technical problems with their computers.

Thing is, TheHelper is the one that knows most of the historical information, that can take it out of 'advertising', such as how and when TheHelper was founded, by how, why, etc.

You should get yourself banned for that. And besides, April Fool's Day is over.

That's the most I could do. Mass media coverage is due to Battle.Net referencing The Helper at one time, and it made a boom here. I think...if I'm not wrong. :p

^That is not an april fools joke.
You shouldn't really be talking since you yourself have also made several threads which were quite pointless.

TheHelper is meant to be a technical support site. I think that SD_Ryoko is a good friend of TH and is the how warcraft was introduced into this site.

Darn my words!! My bad. I guess I got used to being a strict, non-humoristic moderator at one forum for too long...

Just never mind about it, +rep to that person, just so that he might forgive me...

I would not count that as advertisement, more like "opportunities". :p

That's why I'm asking you that.

Would an article in Wikipedia suits most of our needs, or is it just unnecessary to do that?

It would only be good if I added the supporting history information to the website so it is corroborated. If you dont have a source for stuff you post in an article on Wikipedia it will just get removed.

Is it okay if the supporting historical information be released to the public for us to read? Either Members only or restricted members only, or can't be done?

It would have to be public, yes - so the article could link to the source at the bottom like the other proper Wikipedia entries do. If we had a Wikipedia article I would make sure that it was up to the standards of the Encyclopedia personally - footnoting all the information and adding to the history because of the site gets a page then the Blizzard MVP program needs one - and information on the original MVPs (Me, Dinobot, and T'kron)- because the Blizzard MVP program has been reactivated.

Not really, I think he once said that he was once labeled as the most valuable poster by Blizzard MVP program.

I don't think he's a mapmaker, since he hasn't posted a single map of his own since the founding of The Helper Forums.

EDIT:

Founding Fathers of The Helper, or The Foundations of The Helper, which is best used to suit the administrators?

I was MVP for the Blizzard Open Technical Support forum back in the Days of Diablo, Starcraft and Diablo 2. I also did tech for War3 but there were not as many issues at that point.

Help Users
  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • 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
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • 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:

    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.
