  1. @Chaos, I'm wondering where I can watch the lost metal reading, as I am finding the latest shardcast episode difficult to follow, Plus, I wanna meet Wayne's mum.

    Thank you for being awesome!

  2. Nobody seems to check in on how the admins are doing so I'll break the stigma: how's life?

      Apologies Frustration :) I saw it, but like Facebook I don't often go through the wall and respond to everyone. It is appreciated though. Thanks!

      I can't say I check this wall very much; I am generally very busy so I tend to prioritize immediate matters over general chatting. Discord just feels faster for more ephemeral, chatty things.

      I'm doing all right! Got married, and it's been nice to be in summer where I don't need to teach, but it has still been ludicrously busy. Surprisingly so.

      Frustration, you have a tendency to not respond to my PMs, so I'm not really sure what you're referring to there. Again, forums are more business for me. My free time is quite limited, but yeah, Discord has really supplanted my "general chat" sort of bandwidth for me.

  4. "The time of the Ookla is over — my people are leaving these shores. Who will you look to when we've gone? The roleplayers? They hide in their mountains seeking riches — they care nothing for the troubles of others."

  5. Hmm... the images you tried to share on the gallery did not upload properly

  6. Happy (Early) Birthday!!!! Thanks for everything you do for the Shard!

  7. Found out I’m only allowed 2 name changes in a 90 day period so...looks like I’m stuck like this till Ookla season!

    Also, I just realized that the last two years my Ookla name has started with a T. Ookla the Taco and Ookla the Tired. I kind of want to keep it going, so if anyone has suggestions for a T word that would fit in Ookla, let me know!

      Yep, we would prefer people not change their usernames generally. I believe on the display name change it does clearly state the restriction :)

  8. I have a question/theory. Is Hoid the end product of the destruction of Adonalsuim? When Adonalsuim shattered and the shards were scattered, was there something left? Perhaps a conscience, even one who, like syl in the first part of the way of kings, knew some things and not others? Or more likely, the same way the powers or ruin and preservation we're parallel(ly?) Connected to the mind/conscience. How preservations conscience was killed buy ruin, but the power still had a form of mind. Could hoid possibly be this subconcience of a dead God without the power and without knowing exactly what he is, but knowing some things like when he said he had to leave in WoR, or giving the coin to Wax?

      You should post these questions on the forums; I don't have a lot of time to respond to direct theory questions. You can use the Cosmere Q&A board: http://www.17thshard.com/forum/forum/81-cosmere-qa/

  11. Guys, fixing the Radiant icons on the main navigation is basically the best thing ever. I am so happy. Thanks @Kurkistan :D

  12. @ whoever just approved that one kelsier drawing and deleted the zillion duplicates: THANK YOU

  13. If you remove the reputation system, can I have the SQL tables holding the points (with user ids paired with their nicks) so I can make some statistics? :) Like, who gave the most upvotes to others etc.

  14. Resisting the urge to troll you guys is sometimes really hard. Like now.

  15. My prof docked me points for having some paragraphs that were less than three sentences long. I'm sorry, when did I go back to middle school?

      Yeah doctoral level humanities classes sound like a breeding ground for self-absorbed jerks who have lost touch in reality.

      What class is this? I often write one line sentences as a focus to grab the reader's attention. In fact, I freak out if my sentences are over six lines long. Insanity.

  17. As far as I know only two people switched profiles for April Fool's. It's still really disgruntling me.

      I actually really might reduce the amount you can change display names; I find it pretty irritating. There are some who have used it not for these jokes, for no other reason that to confuse, really. Cough Darnam.

  19. The anniversary of my joining the site passed without me taking notice. Nonetheless, I've now been here for just over a year.

  20. Finally figured out how do change my stupid display name.

  21. I never thought I'd actually have to pay attention in math.

  22. Why does refreshing the Community Index seem so much more important than doing homework?

  24. I just made the best word filters on 17S! I wonder how long it will take for people to figure out what I did. Muwhahaha.

  25. Was trying to have fun with the whole reputation thingy.. Sorry if I offended.... Now back onto other things
