Misplaced Pages

I'm very sorry to see you go H, but under these circumstances, I see your reasoning.. You've been so productive here on Misplaced Pages, and your contributions have been great and needed. Also, to King Lopez, how can you close an account by going to preferences? And what will happen to all your amazing bots? If possible, could you e-mail some trusted and knowledgeable people with the code so these bots can keep running? --(Review Me) R Contribs_@ (Let's Go Yankees!) 01:17, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

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 HBC AIV helperbot3 and HBC Archive Indexerbot, 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). —Krellis (Talk) 01:25, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm also sorry to see you go too, H. I have to say that I learned a lot from you, and it's a shame this has to happen to you. You and your work will be missed. Acalamari 01:35, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

They got you, huh? It's a shame, but totally understandable. No need to get real life trauma from this. Good luck in the future. Corvus cornix 02:07, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

I am so sorry to hear that. It's truly shameful that it's come to this. Ugh! :( - Alison ☺ 02:14, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

It is always sad to see one stupid asshole that has to screw it for those who enjoy it. Good luck man and thanks for your hard work on this project. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 02:33, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

It is a shame to see you go; however as you just said, a website is not worth losing people you love over. User:Zscout370 02:35, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

This page has been fully protected. Good luck, H, your tireless efforts will be missed =/ Ƙɽɨɱρᶓȶ 04:32, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

So sad! I am not sure if you'd think about coming back in the near future. I am very sorry for your family. Take care of yourselves. -- FayssalF - 06:52, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry too, H. All the best for the future. SlimVirgin 06:54, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

You made the right choice. It is terrible that it should come to this. Good luck. J Milburn 10:30, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

I am very sorry to see you go under such disgusting circumstances. I wish you and your family all the best, H. With much sadness, :( :( Sarah 11:46, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

You will be missed. >Radiant< 12:20, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

We'll miss you, H. Totally disgusting to see you leave under such circumstances. I hope you and your family take care of yourselves. It's a sad day for Misplaced Pages. Riana (talk) 12:51, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Best wishes, H, and I'm really sorry that this has happened. Thanks for all the good work you've done here, and good luck for the future. ElinorD (talk) 13:06, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry that it came to this, but fully understand your reasons. Good luck. Martinp23 18:41, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Goodbye H. It was a pleasure to know such a great person and admin. Shadow1 (talk) 18:53, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Bye H. I'm sorry that you had to leave under such abhorrent and unfortunate circumstances. Thanks for your contributions, and I (or we?) hope that you can return in the future to continue giving Misplaced Pages your personality, intellect, and wit (not to mention your indispensable bots)! —Kurykh 01:38, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Dear H, I'm so sorry this happened. Thank you for making this place better. Living well is the best revenge. Take care and Happy Solstice. Kla'quot (talk | contribs) 06:39, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

H, I am sorry to see you go; you were an asset to this project and will be sorely missed. GDonato (talk) 11:54, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to see this happen. I hope you can come back... In some form. Grandmasterka 04:28, 26 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. 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. If circumstances change and you decide to come back, it should be possible to be resysopped. Best wishes. ElinorD (talk) 14:53, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

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. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 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.
