	Before you sit down and construct a series of vandalizations to this page, or whine about the article I put a CSD tag on, or my AfD vote, you should be informed that ''your world orbits a ball of fire''. This ball of deadly heat is paradoxically far enough away that it actually provides ''some level of benefit'' to those who spend a measured amount of time in front of it. While you should not in any way stare at it, a respectful glance in its direction will show you that it is warm and in some ways '''healthy'''.

	Accompanying the ball of fire is a collection of variant photosensitive lifeforms and constantly recycled breathing material, suitable for your use at any time you so please, and containing life-giving elements. As an added bonus, most of these materials are available to you '''entirely for free and 24 hours a day. '''

	== WikiCast: Pull Stream... ==

	Owing to some concerns raised in #Misplaced Pages, suggest you check on
	what the (C) situation re the stream would be again, given the
	recent changes to royalty arrangments.

	At the moment I am seriously considering if the stream can exist at all.

	== New ] task? ==

	] is very helpful at ], but there's another task that's being discussed on the talk page that might be appropriate for a bot. We're using the {{tl\|ACC}} template to tag the status of a request in machine-readable form; if a request has been tagged with {{tl\|ACC}} for 3 days, and its first parameter is neither 's' nor 'similar', could the bot remove the request as rejected? (It wouldn't have to be 3 days exactly, just run on a typical archivebot schedule, removing rather than archiving the requests.) At the moment, rejected requests just build up. Thanks! --] 12:27, 4 May 2007 (]]])
	:Oh, and any sections tagged {{tlp\|ACC\|c}} should be archived as successful as soon as the bot notices (it's used to manually tag created accounts that the bot misses). --] 12:41, 4 May 2007 (]]])

	== Comments on Shadow1's page... ==

	Yes. That relates to the Channel contact which for most purposes is what's needed.
	However, should an IRC channel need to be dropped, for example to name change,
	that requires the original 'registration' password NOT the channel contact AFIAK

I can, on some circumstances run the bot from my spare Windows 98 computer, but as I said, the bandwidth issues with my current ISP really puts that off. If you don't really think there is a point of running it anymore, I will just have to resist not running a bot on Misplaced Pages.

	== AccReqBot not working? ==

	The bot doesn't seem to be removing the created accounts at the moment... Is there still a problem with it? Also, with the AccReqBot2 BRFA, I have stated that I am very keen on it and don't really see a problem about running another one along side it, because if one goes down (like yours did yesterday), my copy will still run. And with updates, we can update the code at different times so that it is still monitored. And remember, if the toolserver goes down, that's not really out fault. But, I don't really see it being approved, just like all my bots have been declined (except for !). <b><font color="#000066">]</font></b> <sup><font color="#ED9121">]</font></sup> 09:50, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

	Hello again! Sorry to bother you, but as I have been going around the place today, I have found the need for an archival bot on two popular pages. They are ] and ].

Let me know what you think about it. Primarily, if you think it is good, and we were to request it, the name would be ] (which I can create), so that I can run multiple tasks from the one. It would also be most likely run on the ]. As I said, let me know what you think and whether we would really need one.
