| ::I'll ditto the "wow, that totally sucks, sorry things came to this" sentiments. As to a partial answer to the bot question, the source for most (all?) of H's bots is GFDL licensed and generally available in the particular bot's userspace. Personally, I'm happy to keep running ] and ], and, though I'm not generally very active around here these days, I'm happy to continue providing at least minimal critical bugfixes for them. I'd also be happy to run any of H's other bots that he'd like to offload - H, just shoot me an e-mail if you want to coordinate that (I don't check my user talk often enough to use it very reliably). —] <small>(])</small> 01:25, 21 June 2007 (UTC) | |||

| == Please de-admin me == | |||
| Due to recent issues in real life, I am unable to serve Misplaced Pages as an admin. I request, without resentment, that my admin status be removed to safeguard this account from potential abuse by a usurper. I want to thank my friends who have supported me, you know who you are, you are why I gave so much time to Misplaced Pages. This is not Misplaced Pages's fault, I was given the opportunity to be anonymous and I chose not to. ]<!-- Was HighInBC --> 14:51, 21 June 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :I'm really sorry it has come to this, H. I'll make the request at meta, and will provide the diff to your post here, to show that you really did make the request.

| == A question == | |||
| Why do you think that leaving the project will stop the threats? Reviewing the history here, even after you announced your departure, threats kept coming in without regard to your status. Appeasement has a history of not only failing to work, but of actually encouraging the behavior to continue. - ]</small> (]) 14:59, 21 June 2007 (UTC) | |||
| == Archive indexer == | |||
| I love your archive indexer but currently my archive index is very large. It doesn't have to be rebuilt every single time a page is archived, so could you add an index period parameter to specify the frequency? So if I set index period = 7 the index will only be rebuilt once every seven days. Rebuilding a low-priority 800kb page daily probably isn't a good use of your bandwidth. ], 15:53, 1 July 2007 (UTC) | |||
| == Speedy deletion of ] == | |||
| A tag has been placed on ] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under ], because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted. | |||
| If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<tt><noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude></tt>). | |||
