Chat
what do i do if i think an OP should be De-Oped "Alpha"
 * You can message another op on the chat and make your case. You can send me a PM on the forum if you'd like to provide a few more details on this. -- 00:02, 2 January 2008 (EST)

how bout Aim? "Alpha
 * I won't be on AIM tonight. You can email me if it can't wait until tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll be in chat tomorrow too. -- 00:10, 2 January 2008 (EST)

I sent it and it is urgent 'Alpha"

 * This is what the Old One told me:
 * You must travel for three days and three nights with no food, water or provisions through the Argonne Forest. After such a journey, you shall come upon a monument to the great Shroom of Argonne. You must climb to the top of said monument and meditate for a further three days. After which, the long lost name of the Almighty ShroomKing of Argonne shall be revealed to you. Take a shard of the great rock and carve the name in your flesh. You will then have the power to de-op ONE op of your choosing by calling out the ancient spell of Doomhammer:


 * "I. AM. OVERSENSITIVE TO MATTERS THAT PERTAIN TO ME NOT!."


 * Thus, it shall be done. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 00:07, 2 January 2008 (EST)

Wayoshi
That guy can't be trusted, he is making like 10 spam accounts on userpedia. We don't have definite proof, but even if it isn't him, he still can't be trusted! HyperToad He also impersonated Alphaclaw!
 * I don't have jurisdiction over what he does on other websites. If there have been any recent problems with him on the MarioWiki or chat, let me know. -- 14:54, 3 January 2008 (EST)
 * Just to cleanup on the matter: it was Dummmmmmmy, or however many m's there are. The Alpha thing was a small joke. 15:54, 3 January 2008 (EST)

Great Game
Super Mario 64 is a great game! It's the first Mario game I ever got to play! I'm waiting to play Super Mario Galaxy; I've heard it's really good too.
 * Agreed. -- 03:30, 5 January 2008 (EST)

Userpedia Closing
I haeard something about the sysops are in a disscussion about closing Userpedia. An answer should be; I thought we created Userpedia for a reason. Didn't we create it because we were getting too distracting with sprite comics and such? Well it will happen again if we close Userpedia. Or was it just a rumor Wayoshi spread -_-'
 * I have no idea. -- 03:30, 5 January 2008 (EST)
 * Steve has no connections with Userpedia. It was made by Xzelion and Sadaharu.
 * It's impossible to close Userpedia, sysops here basically aren't sysops there. It's my personal opinion. Minimario here says sprite comics were too distracting, and the problem's fixed by moving them to another wiki. Guess what, Mini-M? Userpedia is sucking people away from this wiki because it continues to be even more distracting. That's why I want it closed. 09:19, 5 January 2008 (EST)
 * You can't close Userpedia just 'cause people are over there more than here. They have a right to be on what sight they want to. If they're neglecting the wiki that's their problems. I spend more time here than there and even I think that's unfair. You wouldn't like it if it were the other way around, would you? I'm not trying to be rude, but I don't see a reason to shut down a site just because some people like it more than here.

Thanks
I just wanna thank you for making the MarioWiki. I'd probably be bored every night if you hadn't!
 * Glad to hear it! -- 02:06, 6 January 2008 (EST)

Who's Online
How did you set up that Who's Online Wiki Extension? 02:19, 6 January 2008 (EST)

Oh you're online! Why won't you answer me? 15:29, 6 January 2008 (EST)
 * I don't know. I did whatever the instructions for it said to do. That usually involves adding some files to the extensions directory and adding a line to LocalSettings.php. -- 15:34, 6 January 2008 (EST)
 * Oh great. I still don't know how to install it into the my website. Boo hoo.[[Image:MPWBWDLR.jpg|110px]] 15:37, 6 January 2008 (EST)

MySpace Links
Hey Porplemontage, not to be a tattletale but Dummmmmmy has a link to his MySpace page on his userpage. Is that allowed? - Glitchman 18:48, 6 January 2008 (PT)
 * Yes. -- 21:55, 6 January 2008 (EST)

Wayoshi SPAMMED..
Hey Porplemontage, Wayoshi said d*** in the chat room!! That's spam, right?

[16:13] ChaosNinji: It cofirmed Falcon, Jigglypuff, and the Animal Crosser! [16:13] ParaChomp: who spamed [16:13] Glitchman: Who's Alloy Team? [16:13] ChaosNinji: Smash Bros update. [16:13] Wayoshi: it didn't confirm a damn thing. [16:13] Glitchman: ParaChomp spammed [16:13] ChaosNinji: :roll: [16:13] Glitchman: Wayoshi spammed


 * Wayoshi didn't do anything wrong. Your "X spammed" comments were more disruptive. -- 19:09, 9 January 2008 (EST)

Oh, sorry. I just thought cursing wasn't allowed. -
 * I'm glad that you came to me when you thought someone was breaking the rules. I personally don't have a problem if "damn" is used as long as it's not directed at another user, obviously. -- 23:25, 9 January 2008 (EST)

Comic's Done
Hey PM, just wanted to let you know that my comic is done, and I don't know if you checked or not but you were portrayed as the sysop, Toad. However, I'm not going to post the fact that the comic's done on my user page until you and all of the other users involved in the comic have left positive feedback (approval for being in the comic, basically) on my (or your) talk page. Reply ASAP, and feel free to use any of the sprites whenever! Oh, and by the way, sorry about the above comment. I really didn't know, sorry to have been a disturbance.

-
 * I approve of the comic. -- 23:25, 9 January 2008 (EST)

Questions
Sorry if this is an annoying question or if I'm wasting your time here, but do you happen to own Both the 360 & Halo 3?, Also is it possible to block an Ip using a wildcard (like how it can be performed on the forums)
 * Why are you asking about Halo? This is the second time I've been asked that question so I find it kind of odd. Yes, I own a 360 and Halo 3. I've never seen anything about blocking wildcards with MediaWiki, so my guess would be no, but I've never actually tried it. -- 19:49, 11 January 2008 (EST)

Do you know why the wiki is slow and experiences so many problems? Is it from the amount of users on-line?Geno Whirl
 * More or less, yeah. -- 18:28, 28 January 2008 (EST)

I can't
I can't access the Director election, it says is a database error, or it is in bold.
 * Unfortunately I can't figure this out tonight. -- 00:03, 14 January 2008 (EST)

I know what made it have an error Alphaclaw11 come on AIM and i wil tell you

Name change
Can you change my name to RapidRocker?-- 14:52, 14 January 2008 (EST)

King of Swing
Hey steve, i've just expanded the DK: King of Swing article, and i want to know if it's expanded/rewritten enough.


 * Looks good to me. -- 15:13, 14 January 2008 (EST)

OK, Thanks.

HELP
Um,Master Crash And Chaos Ninji Has Blocked Me For A BIG Mistake.Um My Friend Is Mario Bros. And We share A Computer And They Think He Is A Sockpuppet Of Me.Please Unblock Me.
 * I'll save Steve the trouble: Steve isn't a user on Userpedia, you'll just have to tell them here. (MC and CN) (  Toadbert101  |[[Image:TBPaper.PNG|30px]]|  Scream  | My comic ]|Sez:) 20:33, 15 January 2008 (EST)

Spammer in IRC
Can you make me an op so I can kick spammers out? I wanna get rid of that guy becausen he was making sexual content oriented against minors so I wanna kick him out.-- 20:14, 17 January 2008 (EST)

SMB3
Do you know if there are any articles on the worlds in SMB3? I can't find 'em. If there aren't any, I'll make 'em!

Oh, never mind: 3D told me about them. Sorry to bug ya.

Multi Upload
I tried uploading multiple images on the special page for it and changed the name for the files, but the page ignored it and uploaded the images under the name they had on my hard drive. Can this problem be fixed? - 04:14, 21 January 2008 (EST)
 * Hey it worked for me. -- 13:29, 21 January 2008 (EST)
 * I used Special:MultipleUpload, and entered new names which had a space. Then, I got to a page which told me that the spaces got changed to underscores, and asked me if I still wanted to store the pictures. I clicked save, and the pictures were uploaded, but not under the new names but the old ones from my harddisk. - 13:32, 21 January 2008 (EST)

Hey there Steve. When uploading 14 audio files for SMG just now, I forgot to ignore all warnings, since they were way oversized, and again the rename issue popped up. I'm not going to redo it again, being the big files they are, but it is slightly annoying. Any way to fix it? 13:34, 3 February 2008 (EST)
 * No. -- 14:27, 3 February 2008 (EST)

Notice
Hey Steve, I'm retiring from the MarioWiki, and I'd like to express my deepest apologizes for leaving you without a Bureaucrat again. Hope the Wiki flourishes and grows to be the best Wiki on the Internet. Good Luck. Xzelion
 * This is unfortunate news but okay. -- 15:39, 25 January 2008 (EST)

Wii
Would you like to add me as a friend? If not, it's fine, if so tell me here. (  Toadbert101  ||  Scream  | My comic ]|Sez:) 00:05, 26 January 2008 (EST)
 * Sure. What's your number? -- 06:53, 26 January 2008 (EST)
 * Here it is: 3034 - 4077 - 2932 - 1378. :) (  Toadbert101  |[[Image:TBPaper.PNG|30px]]|  Scream  | My comic ]|Sez:) 14:28, 26 January 2008 (EST)
 * I have added you. -- 02:16, 27 January 2008 (EST)

Weird Question
I know this may sound weird but... errr may I be a back-up OP in Chat please I am very active when it comes to chat.
 * The op situation is a bit of a mess right now. We can talk about this when I see you in chat. -- 02:17, 27 January 2008 (EST)

My Purpose Is My Username
Since Dark Toad and I are the same person(Seriously, why would my userpage just be a link to his page and a sentence to go with it), and I only created this account because I forgot my password for my Dark Toad account, and I want to have my username for the Dark Toad account changed back to KP Shadow-Informant
 * You can use the account on the Changing username page to have it changed. -- 02:09, 27 January 2008 (EST)

What about my password for the Dark Toad/KP Shadow account? I need the password so I can log back in as Dark Toad/KP Shadow, otherwise my Dark Toad/KP Shadow account will be deleted, and I'll have to start all over, and I made 58 contributions total in 2 weeks(yes, 2 weeks, I'm that good) as Dark Toad/KP Shadow. I need that password!!!-Informant
 * Err I don't know your password. If you signed up with an email address you can have a new one sent to you. -- 17:22, 27 January 2008 (EST)

Can you make me a new one and post it on my talk page-Informant
 * I can't do that. -- 17:55, 27 January 2008 (EST)

New Forum
Hey Steve i was just wondering why you changed the forum I could be wrong because I have a different computer
 * I'm hoping to combat the spambot problem. -- 22:07, 29 January 2008 (EST)
 * Oh ok King Mario Thats weird cause I posted about almost 30 posts it says I only have 1 post ???

Problems
Do you know why this site's having so many problems loading pages?
 * User influx. There will be a solution. -- 23:03, 29 January 2008 (EST)
 * Thanks, Steve!

Can I help?-Informant This is the nephew of a Best Buy manager you're talking to Oh, yeah I used to live in Brooklyn, and I have Italian heritage as well as Hispanic and Irish, wierd, huh.
 * There is a server upgrade on the way which should help us out. -- 17:32, 30 January 2008 (EST)

Promblems
I sometimes have problems logging in to the wiki and is it because of a dead server or something?
 * What problems do you experience? I don't see the issue. -- 14:54, 1 February 2008 (EST)

Whenever I logged on to this wiki sometimes it would say that the wiki is experiencing some problems, page cannot be displayed, etc. or is it my computer?
 * These were most likely due to some server strains. -- 01:42, 2 February 2008 (EST)

Miscellaneous
Shouldn't there be a Miscellaneous spot for mario knowledge? Because, for example, Fourth wall, I would have never known about it if I didn't check a User's contributions. So I think there should be a link for it on Mario knowledge. Thanks! P.S. This site is awesome! How old are you?
 * It probably couldn't hurt to have a miscellaneous page, but I think it would end up pretty unorganized and unhelpful. "Fourth Wall" could use a link under Glossary anyway. I'm 17. -- 01:30, 2 February 2008 (EST)

Forum Problems
Porplemontage, I need help!!! I registered myself on the forum a month or so ago, and now I can't sign in again!! And when I tried the "forgot your password" link in case I typed in a wrong password, it said this user didn't have a secret question!! So I figured that my registering must not have worked, so I tried to re-register but it said somebody already had that username! I need to log on in order to PM 3Dejong my Fake News article!! HELP!!
 * I have you down as registering today. Check your email for an activation link. It looks like you may have actually supplied an invalid email address. You can attempt to fix that here. -- 01:30, 2 February 2008 (EST)
 * Thanks, it works now :P
 * You're welcome. -- 20:10, 2 February 2008 (EST)

17?
Wow! That means you were about 15 or 16 when you started this site? That's impressive.
 * Thanks. -- 16:54, 3 February 2008 (EST)

You're welcome. If I knew how to make a website, I'd make a "Car Wiki".

Top Ads
Not only is the new ad line at the top annoying, it is blocking the sitenotice. 15:48, 6 February 2008 (EST)
 * The amount of revenue that the site makes off the ads recently plummeted out of nowhere. I don't know why, I don't like the top ad unit either, but this is definitely a predicament for the site. The additional unit is just an attempt to increase revenue. -- 20:17, 6 February 2008 (EST)

Patroller
I'd consider making the user Mr. Guy a Patroller. He's really awesome at editing, reverts spam unseen, gives out warnings to vandals, etc. But it's your wiki, so....
 * Thanks. -- 21:35, 6 February 2008 (EST)

Ads problems
could not you remove those ads? seriously, that disturbs hiding the wiki's notices bar. why don't you see on Bulbapedia's top ad? it looks more decent.
