How come he never posts anymore?

nael, that is.

Just 'cause he doesn't own the joint anymore doesn't mean he had to abandon us.

Cause its still well before 10 but acknowledges its a possibility i guess. I figured at least like a 4

[Edited on September 18, 2026 at 7:57 PM. Reason : I figured you would say lower but not a 1. If now is a 1, 1998 was like a .2]

one of the interesting things about the human mind is that we are capable of imagining an infinity of possibilities that isnotreal. just don't lose touch with reality lest you start behaving as if the things you imagined were true

Do you pick when tww and chatterbox resets or is it automatic?

I can reset it if I want to but I rarely do

So like this last one 20 min ago...what triggered it? Like clearing the cache or something?

How about this...you can initiate but rarely do...so done automatically...but can you delay it or tell it not to refresh/reset?

in some ways yes, but not really in a robust sense that would be required if it were considered a necessary part of tww operations

although there are some deterministic configuration settings that are involved, it's mostly "random". this is the primary explanation

Asked gpt about a few things...if i change my status daily does that speed up how often the iis application pool recycles?

Nope. If anything it could delay that process

Hm. I changed last night and this last recycle seemed kinda short, thought maybe had opposite effect

[Edited on September 19, 2026 at 9:58 PM. Reason : Like sometimes chatterbox lasts 48hr, sometimes like 16]

What would happen if a pic had a virus and someone uploaded it...would it get flagged?

Well i mean i guess opposite of flagged is it gets through and like hacks the system or something. Or it doesn't even have to be nefarious...like someone accidentally uploaded an infected file?

So just to button up that one area of conversation...what would it take for tww to recycle but not delete the chatterbox? I'd think its as easy as firing up your super charged GPT and tell it "write code to keep chatterbox after recycling" and poof its done

Hi elise. I'm ok. More importantly, how are you?

more or less. perma-chatterbox has always been a relatively trivial feature to add (site3 had it), I just never did bc I always saw the random resets as kindof part of the charm of the chatterbox

If you tried is it something trivial enough to finish by the end of today? By lunch? A week? I literally have no idea

So do you think in 2036 it will be 25x faster than now?

Have you ever thought about making the edit post either shorter or longer? I've seen you ghost edit to make longer ones...i just did the same. But it does seem rather generous too, so thought maybe you could shorten it too if you desired

Also, when we post a wolfweb pic with .Jpg to make it big does it use more data?

[Edited on September 22, 2026 at 10:11 PM. Reason : Thought of a few more hope you are up for it]

by default crazycode will turn the photo filename to the thumbnail version. changing it to .Jpg bypasses that and uses the fullsize photo. so yes in this case the fullsize photo is a larger file size than the thumbnail and requires more bandwidth to transmit
