[00:01:19] <Bytram> Historical response: You must be new here! (/me glances at his two-digit UID)
[00:02:22] <Bytram> Sulla: Unfortunately, we had a strongly non-linear signup rate, so even though you HAVE been here for a while, there's not been a tremendous number of new accounts created since.
[00:02:25] <Bytram> !uid
[00:02:25] <Bender> The current maximum UID is 7173, owned by Jason Earl
[00:04:07] <Bytram> we reached 4000 accounts in our first 6 weeks
[00:06:41] <Bytram> over the past couple years, we've averaged on the order of 30-50 new accounts per month
[00:15:38] <Sulla> Eh. I like who we got
[00:15:44] <Sulla> even the ones I don't
[00:15:56] <Bytram> lol
[00:16:13] <Sulla> Honestly wouldn't be the same place without Asuma telling me my kid should die because I'm a Republican. Quite refreshing
[00:16:34] <Bytram> healthy dose of live-and-let-live right there!
[00:16:57] <Sulla> Ever get a chance to play with the BB Q10s?
[00:17:11] <Bytram> a bit, thanks for asking!
[00:17:37] <Sulla> We have been considering doing another raffle but cigars been eating up too much of our fun money
[00:17:51] <Bytram> Takes much longer to wake up than I expected, and I am easily distracted by other demands on my time, so haven't gotten around to doing much with it. thanks for the reminder!
[00:18:37] <Sulla> I'm not one to talk. I finally actually broke a blackberry. 5in drop onto pottery making powder shattered screen. Rather than replace it with a spare i have just been living in eternal shame
[00:19:47] <Bytram> stuff happens, right? Besides, it's better that it broke on bits of pottery and on bits of shrubbery, amirite?

[13:44:09] <AndyTheAbsurd> ...although I don't know if Larry Niven or any of the Man-Kzin Wars authors ever actually completely defined a Kzinti script, or what phonemes it should be capable of representing.
[13:44:42] <Bytram> to my knowlege, no... and at least for Elvish (IIRC, it has been a while since I looked)... it won't be; even though someone submitted a complete set of glyphs that could be used.
