Hey Bob, just thought I should leave you a note to say that I moved this page to User:BobNewbie/sandbox/Archive 1 so that it is in your userspace. Regards, GG   (t)  •  (c)  •  (b)  18:21, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

Contest on main page
The issue with that is, I don't really think the right side bar should be too crowded... between Battles, FA, FM, and FE we really don't have much space left, especially if you take out that ridiculous extension, or the fact that the mainpage will soon be changed, more than likely shortening it dramatically. At this point, sort of removing one of the features on the mainpage, I really don't see a good avenue forward. It might be worth it to talk to A morris to see what she says about it, though. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 19:54, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Opinion
I think it'd look better outside of the infobox. Dharden (talk) 20:21, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Top 10
I've contacted Wikia about activating the feature... now we just have to wait for a response. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 21:13, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

What do you think about this image in neutral templates? Thanks so much. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 10:38, December 18, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Hey
I'm great, what about you, it is Christmas break!! Are you happy? How have you been in these days? :) Thanks for asking sweetheart! :D Thanks. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 15:45, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

That is good to know, I wish a merry christmas too and a happy new year (read this as a song, lol :D), I will visit the psychologist and I will try to explain my problem, I'm so HAPPY, thanks so much Bob, I can't really describe how great you are XD. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 15:59, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, Bob, :D. Have you seen DarthCookie around these days, I'm getting worried for her. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 16:08, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, now I'm comforted, thanks, actually I am going to take a break in Christmas time, everyone deserves it :D. Sorry I haven't read it yet, I am going to read it, now! :P --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 16:15, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

That is excellent reflection! We are really like what you described on Community central, I actually replied to your comment :D. Thanks --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 16:19, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

You just have to ask first, you can't edit without permission from an admin just like a real user's user page, please if you want to chnage a bot's decoration don't change much, ok? Thanks. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 16:34, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Totally approved :D. Are you a fan of Elvira? It seems so :P--Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:42, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Me too, do you think Bella had some kind of affair with Don in The Sims 2? --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:48, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Well I like Bella so much, and Mortimer too but an "affair" is kind of interesting, lol :P. No I don't known about what you found. Thanks --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:56, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Yes you are right, I have also been thinking in that, and about their personalities I think creators swapped the names giving to each one, the incorrect personality. Could you describe some of your theories about how Bella got abducted in my talk page, (shortly) :D. Thanks--Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 19:06, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, there is so many speculation about this issue, people are very creative, have you seen Bella Goth's theories, it's a huuuuuge page, lol XD. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 19:12, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Bob, how are you? --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 09:27, December 20, 2010 (UTC)

Normal, thanks :). --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 09:32, December 20, 2010 (UTC)

Glad To..
I'm glad to be back, I see the decrease in users. I think its because school started up again.-- DarthCookie  Talk 12:42, December 20, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!
Hey Bob, thanks for the notice and the support! I have been kind of busy so I didn't get a real chance to keep track of it. Regards, GG   (t)  •  (c)  •  (b)  14:13, December 20, 2010 (UTC)

Statement
Except for one grammar thing ('taking ourselves too seriously'), it looks awesome! --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 16:20, December 20, 2010 (UTC)

Suggestion
Hi... I've noticed that a lot of your edits have weird formatting quirks, or that you add odd line indents where they're not needed, and it got me wondering; do you edit using the Rich-Text (WYSIWYG) editor, or do you edit using the wikicode editor? Because in my opinion the Rich-Text editor causes way too many problems; I've disabled it automatically for myself. Maybe editing in code instead of rich text will allow you to avoid a lot of those quirks. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 17:00, December 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * There is actually an option in your preferences that allows you to turn off RTE by default, if you want to take that route. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 17:11, December 20, 2010 (UTC)

bvbfan1 here!
good. how have you been????

Physichologist
The visit was good, we spoke about many things, she understood my concerns and she is going to help me, also I've been diagnosed with depression :(. Thanks for asking, how have you been? --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 17:42, December 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Don't worry I will be ok, I'm friendly but that does not mean I can't be depressed, I love being around wiki, but I just didn't feel right in school, I found myself so different from others, I think that is the main reason, I hope you are good too now? It is normal, just a phase nothing more, but I will continue to be friendly, of course, don't worry :). Thanks so much for all :). --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:04, December 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks so much Bob :D. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:44, December 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Do you think I could change my user's image, the one which shows Agnes Crumplebottom? Or is it ok? Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 09:28, December 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you, but do you like this one? Also, are you ok? Everything alright? I am sorry to say but I am oppose to fanon merge,ok? Thank you :D. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 09:33, December 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * What can I help with?? Thanks :D. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 09:37, December 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes I will accept but leave me a message when you want to contact me, instead of comment my user page, ok?Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 09:47, December 22, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Support
Hey Bob, I added my opinion just before you left your message saying that it will make things easier! Regards, GG   (t)  •  (c)  •  (b)  19:38, December 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Mine was great thanks :). Also, Bleeh, who is on IRC channel told me to say, "blehh" (whatever that means). Regards, GG   (t)  •  (c)  •  (b)  19:52, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Bleeh
She said it was a joke, though I still don't know the true meaning of the term so I'm gonna look it up. GG  (t)  •  (c)  •  (b)  20:09, December 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think she meant it in a bad way (she does say some weird things sometimes). GG   (t)  •  (c)  •  (b)  20:13, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

January events
Hey BN, I made a small but significant edit to your most recent blog posting (I removed a very ill-placed extra 's'). I have to say, I really like the idea of having that update. Can I perhaps help you "pretty up" your blog posting so we can post it in Wiki News? I really think it should go on the main page and since you are the community director, you're more than welcome to post it there, but it could probably stand to be improved just a bit (no offense). --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 07:53, December 28, 2010 (UTC)

Community News
Alright, I've laid the groundwork for you to be able to add blog postings to the Main page and Community Portal page... It's all done through the use of Category:Blog posts/Community. When you add that category to a blog post, it will automatically be added to the Main Page news section and to a newly-added news section on the Community Portal. Please use this category for official community uses and not for personal blogs. Additionally, if you take over the wiki newsletter, it as well has its own category (Category:Blog posts/Newsletter). Please please check over and proofread your blog postings before making them public (your last posting had the word 'ass' in the very first sentence, although it was quite accidental) and making them visually appealing wouldn't hurt either. Use some of mine or Duskey's news posts as a good rough template to start, but feel free to make it your own.

If you have any questions, shoot me a message. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 08:26, December 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you want, we could chat about all this on the IRC. I'm online right now. -  LostInRiverview talk · blog 08:38, December 28, 2010 (UTC)

IRC
Sure! I'll be there in a little while. — Random Ranaun ( Talk to me! ) 17:38, December 28, 2010 (UTC)

I am sorry for that on facebook I had to go because I was getting sick, now I feel better :). --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:35, December 28, 2010 (UTC)

How are you? Fine? --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:40, December 28, 2010 (UTC)

Re:IRC
Yes I'll chat. Monster2821 talk 18:55, December 28, 2010 (UTC)

Newsletter
Actually, I was not going to make the Newsletter a blog post. I'll have a few organizational things to sort out, but I figure it's better as a page rather than a blog post. We can even add a comments section on that page if we want. If you have time, swing onto the IRC and we can talk details. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 09:00, December 29, 2010 (UTC)

Leaving??
I saw your userboxes it says you're going to leave, why is that? No friend don't leave us D:. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 14:45, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * It seems, that he keeps saying he's leaving but winds up not leaving. Monster2821 talk 15:37, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd say that April/May is quite a ways off, and there's no way to know if your feelings will change on this matter before then. So I'd say it's probably not a good idea to announce your intent to leave until you're ready to leave. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 17:17, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, now I understand I thought it was leaving wiki. Thanks for explaining. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 17:19, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * What you are really leaving, I'm not understanding? --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 17:25, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, I understand and I will not ask why, best wishes and I hope you come back. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 17:41, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

Newsletter
I looked into it, and it turns out you can't enable comments on a non-blog page without enabling them on the whole wiki (which is obviously not a good idea). Further, in order for the newsletter to appear in the blog feed on the mainpage and CP, it must be a blog post. So we're faced with a decision; either we put the newsletter on its own page, and rely on our own advertising ability to get people to read it and we accept the fact that they won't be able to comment on it -or- one of us makes the newsletter into a blog and posts it as such.

I'd personally support the first option, actually. We can easily add links on the MP and CP drawing attention to the Newsletter, drop messages on talk pages, etc. Further, even though a Comments section in the same form that exists on blogs isn't possible, we can still allow users to make comments on the newsletter itself (in a designated space). If you think it should be done in a blog instead, though, we'll do that.

Another thing... I see you're starting to write content. I'm brainstorming a lot of content and I'm going to take a more journalistic, in-depth look into it (thus what separates the Newsletter from just the informal News Update posts that TSW has had before). For example, I'm considering doing an in-depth report on the Fanon Namespace proposal... including asking for stories from the main proponents and opponents. I'm also trying to drum up support for opinion pieces - where someone can go on and say this or that and get it put in the newsletter. What I'm trying to say in all this is that you're largely in charge of making sure that the newsletter is put together well (at least this time around) - graphics and 'pimped out' appearance and such, not so much what's actually written in the newsletter (I don't intend to write the whole thing... hopefully we'll get some comm. support). So, if you feel like writing something really focused and detailed about a topic, you should! But I don't necessarily want this to be just a news update, so I'm trying to avoid the typical one-paragraph news stories that we've done here before.

If you want topic examples, I have a few ideas. If you were looking to do an opinion thing - where you give your opinion- you could write about whether you supported/opposed the Achievements and Badges feature and why; You could give your take on whether activity is down, and why; you could look at a particular policy or guideline TSW has and discuss it or question it; you could celebrate upcoming game releases; you could highlight well-written or interesting blogs here or elsewhere; you could find a member of the TSW or The Sims general community and highlight their work (i.e. if they're a mod designer, you could talk about that, etc.)... see where I'm going?

--  LostInRiverview talk · blog 11:15, December 31, 2010 (UTC) I prefer The Sims 3 because it has lot of more to do, we can go outside, we have much more activities and hobbies, though this is excellent I miss memories from The Sims 2. Happy new Year! --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 19:27, December 31, 2010 (UTC)
