It looks like you just blocked an IP? Those blocks affect a lot of users too, not just autoblocks. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.246.154|108.162.246.154]] 03:14, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

To talk to me

I will make my comments only in this section, and underlined, so we can all tell who's who faster. Be advised that although I may keep up-to-date, I might be shying away, screening my calls, so I could but won't answer everything. Jacky720 (talk) 02:23, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

Yay! Glad to see another happy user of the group! (And another coder!) :D I didn't know anyone else on this site played Minecraft... --JayRulesXKCD (talk) 12:08, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

Same to you! Jacky720 (talk) 15:52, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

(That's right, go HTML!)

What kind of stuff do you like to program? Are you a game designer? Or a web coder kind of person? --JayRulesXKCD (talk) 17:12, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
It isn't a job or anything, just a hobby of messing with webpages. Also, if you don't own a domain, and you tell everyone, you can operate a totally free subdomain through $0.00 webhost. Although you might want to backup your site. If you don't visit it enough, it shuts down and you need to re-register. Just some tips. (P.S. My web portal has seen better days. (P.P.S. 859: ( Jacky720 (talk) 19:49, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
Wait, I just looked at your page and you publish games? Like I said above... But nice. I don't do that kind of thing, but I have made a couple of 9001% informal games, like on Scratch and stuff.
What a coincidence! I use Scratch too! However, I haven't really used it in a while, as I'm sticking to normal game development, but I do still go on there from time to time to see the crazy stuff that people come up with. I was going to make a game on there called "Darkness", but development proved to be too difficult and I was only able to finish the first level and a teaser for the game. I did eventually re-vitalize the game, but with a new name and new story, and it eventually became 'This Isn't Home' , and then I ran into problems with the development with that, and I had to take it down from GameJolt yesterday. Life of a game designer... your work is never finished. I'm going to have to fix that one now. :P --JayRulesXKCD (talk) 12:27, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
Nice, but I couldn't find your account or the game. Links? Jacky720 (talk) 19:34, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
I never uploaded 'Darkness', but I did upload a 'teaser' for it and my account is : https://scratch.mit.edu/users/JayRulesScratch/ --JayRulesXKCD (talk) 12:17, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
Hey, I play Minecraft too! In fact, I've been shying away from explainxkcd because I've been playing it so much... GizmoDude (talk) 21:20, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
P.S. I do Scratch as well! Well, not currently, but I posted about 20 projects on my old account 2 or 3 years ago...
That's kind of the same reason why I "left" for a short period of time. Minecraft and Game design have been taking up a good chunk of my life. Life of a gamer/game designer. :) --JayRulesXKCD (talk) 12:07, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
I've also steadily become more encumbered by schoolwork. I've still been reading xkcd, but not so much editing. I've gotten back into Minecraft, especially since I started my YouTube channel. GizmoDude (talk) 12:40, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
Schoolwork? You mean I'm not the only editor not through college yet? I never knew that. That's right, Jacky720 just signed this (talk | contribs) 15:54, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
Schoolwork is frustrating. I'm not even in college yet... I'm a sophmore in high school. Game design, school, and still have time to actually have fun and play games.. yikes. --JayRulesXKCD (talk) 12:38, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
I also spend a lot of time on Minecraft (mostly messing with redstone), and I used to have a scratch account too (made a few games, but then stopped a few years ago). And it's nice to know I'm not the only editor with a bunch of schoolwork to deal with. Herobrine (talk) 10:41, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

You seem pretty cool! I also code, and with the same languages, and play MC! 108.162.219.64

To talk about me

newest comic

Thanks for adding the newest comic. Just as a note though, please follow the steps here: User:DgbrtBOT, to make the rest of the links work. Natg19 (talk) 22:02, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Ah, I missed that formal procedure. Good to know there is one; I suppose I just messed up the templates in doing so?

Please don't block IPs

Hello,

The way this wiki is set up, if an IP is blocked, it affects a lot of people. IPs are randomized by the reverse proxy. Please don't block IPs, and please disable autoblock when blocking users. 172.70.130.195 22:01, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

I'm new to adminhood, and I don't exactly know what you mean in the last sentence. Is there some MediaWiki configuration page you want me to look at? That's right, Jacky720 just signed this (talk | contribs) 22:15, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
Since I'm not an admin here, I'm not sure exactly what it looks like here. However, I am an admin on another MediaWiki wiki, so I can give instructions for that site, and they should be similar here. When you block someone, there should be a checkbox with this/a similar label: "Automatically block the last IP address used by this user, and any subsequent IP addresses they try to edit from" When blocking anyone, make sure you do not check that, and uncheck it if it is already checked. Then, go to Special:BlockList. On the block for "Xray Kilo Charlie Delta," click "change block", then uncheck that checkbox, click the "confirm block" checkbox, and click "Re-block the user with these settings." Also, go back to Special:BlockList, and unblock any IPs that you see. 172.70.178.115 22:38, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
Looking at the block log, it seems automatic IP blocks only last 24 hours. As for manual ones... Oh, there are hundreds of these. Most dating back to 2013. I'll do something about that. Jack (t|c) 23:06, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
The old ones are probably fine; just undo the recent one (it looks like there's only one recent one) 172.70.178.115 23:07, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
