The future
Call me paranoid, but you haven't been posting on the FRA forum, have you? Charlie  M  08:22, March 7, 2012 (UTC)

Audited series
Could you put the below in the Supernova section in the losers melee of audited series 5, semi-final 2: I'd be grateful if you did.  Mad looney 6 22:14, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Supernova is the smallest and that will work in its favour against the massive WBC and the unreliable Spawn Again.  Mad looney 6 22:14, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

Last Appearance
Well, fine, we'll have it that way for now.  ManU Crazy   (talk)  22:01, June 3, 2012 (UTC)

Techno Games Wiki
The Techno Games wiki has not been edited for quite a while, do you think it is a good idea for this wiki to take over? The users of this wiki could expand the articles on the Techno Games wiki as on this very wiki, there is a fair bit about Techno Games competitors. If it is a bad idea, tell me, but as the wiki this program is for is the brother show of the poor abandoned Techno Games wiki, I think it is a good idea. Sam (BAZINGA) 20:40, June 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sam, we've told you about this apparent spamming a while ago. Such actions cause your talk edits to balloon, which I'm not sure is a good or bad thing. If you want this to work properly, write this on the community portal. You only have to type it in once there, and then you can forget about it until a reply comes.  STORM  II   21:00, June 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Exactly, post something on the community portal, and we can all start a proper discussion. At this point, if I were you, I'd make a post on the portal, and then send an extra message to every user you've just sent a message to, to say that you've started the conversation there. Datovidny (talk) 21:04, June 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * By the way, Storm2, I'd appreciate it if you didn't always post your own comment on my talk page before I get a chance to. Is there any reason why you follow my talk page? Datovidny (talk) 08:25, June 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay, only just noticed this now. :S A while ago, I posted a message to your talk page, and I followed it because I have auto follow enabled, and I can't be bothered to disable it. That's the short answer to the question.  STORM  II   23:11, July 14, 2012 (UTC)

8645T
The image you've added to 8645Ts page is of Wild Thing, not beast. Just thought to tell you. Sam (BAZINGA) 16:20, July 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * No, that is 8645T. The image quality is terrible, which probably makes it difficult to indentify, but I saw it in the Unused Images page, and I thought, it'll do for now. Datovidny (talk) 16:26, July 2, 2012 (UTC)

I don't know where else to put this
Has someone changed the banner "thing" at the top of my userpage? I know I didn't. Datovidny (talk) 22:51, July 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * Correct me if I'm wrong, but you didn't have the "My Favorite Wikis" thing up there beforehand? If that is the case then the I can only think of two things that may have resulted in it. Either


 * 1) Tony somehow got into your account and added that in, or
 * 2) a hacker might have logged into your account.
 * If the latter is true then a password change is essential.  STORM  II   23:04, July 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * EDIT: Sorry 'bout this, but it appeared after I submitted the last incarnation of this message, when it disappeared the time before that. I am almost certain it will disappear once I submit this message. How odd. :S Nothing I can do about this, maybe contact the Wikia staff to see if this is a bug. STORM  II   23:06, July 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * As for the "banner thing", yes, I was referring to the "My Favourite Wikis" bit, and I assume that the first one is probably what happened, if a hacker was to log onto my account, they probably would've done a bit more than change that, fingers crossed.

Robot Wars: Extreme Destruction (PC)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UIQLDC4rDQ&list=LLAG-J0mAZZ7F180Y4KasSqA&feature=mh_lolz

I've finally managed to get the game Robot Wars: Extreme Destruction to work on my PC, thanks to this Youtube clip (web address above). This is just a word for those users that can't play it that wish to, if you have a Windows Vista or 7, use this Youtube clip to help you. Just a note, in case you assumed, the person speaking on it isn't me. Datovidny (talk) 20:22, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

War of the Weapons
Shouldn't there be a basepage for the War of the Weapons competition? Sam (BAZINGA) 18:25, July 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure why you posted this on Datovidny's userpage specifically, but yes, there should be a basepage for the War of The Weapons competition. If you know what you're doing, you can make it, or you could leave it to someone else if you don't know how. Toast  Ultimatum  20:30, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

Trivia Quiz
Thanks for the offer, but I'm not as interesting in hosting it as I was back when I first asked. I'll still do it if ever you decide you no longer want to, but for now I'm more than happy for you to carry on. I appreciate that you gave me the option though. Thanks. Christophee (talk) 11:35, November 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * I might not be able to take part in the quiz, sorry. Sam (BAZINGA) 17:20, December 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * That's fair, if there's a more convenient time, feel free to post. Datovidny (talk) 17:22, December 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * With the 29th being a Saturday I'll be unavailable sadly, in Nottingham for the football, I can do that time on the 30th though if that helps? snowdog  140  04:30, December 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll see how many other people can make it, if the numbers are poor, I'll rearrange it to the 30th, we've just got to await other responses. Datovidny (talk) 15:59, December 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's too early for me to say whether I'll be available at that time. Weekend afternoons aren't a great time for me, but I may be able to make it. Christophee (talk) 20:08, December 17, 2012 (UTC)

I really can't say I know what I'll be doing on the date, or even if I'll be here. Sorry. CrashBash (talk) 20:30, December 18, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for dropping me a line; I'll make sure to be there. And inactivity is something I'm going to rectify.  /M|ddle Eye\  (Talk)    18:05, December 21, 2012 (UTC)

If the quiz is still slated for today, then I'll be there for it. Toast Ultimatum  13:37, December 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Is it today? I thought it was next Saturday. Christophee (talk) 13:57, December 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * So it is. My mistake. Toast  Ultimatum  13:57, December 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * I've still got it planned, though I am still slightly wary of the numbers. If need be, I may reschedule it for the first weekend in January. Datovidny (talk) 14:49, December 22, 2012 (UTC)

Merchandise on eBay
I don't like to see the bottom of merchandise pages saying how expensive and rare they are because they don't appear on eBay, it isn't a very professional way of giving the page content on the wiki. I've been going through all of the minibot pages, getting rid of a lot of it, and if anyone else sees similar descriptions on other Merchandise pages, could they please remove it to save me the trouble. Thanks. Datovidny (talk) 16:12, January 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Agreed. One exception though, it's notable if a single one is exceedingly more expensive than the others, like the Dantomkia pullback. Don't think there are any minibots like that though. R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas.  ( My Talk ) 17:06, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

Oh, I'm sorry I got rid of the info on the Dantomkia pullback, I'll happily re-add it if it's important, unless someone else hasn't done it already. RelicRaider (talk) 17:10, January 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm unsure about giving Dantomkia the benefit of the doubt on this one, and I'm still not in favour of using actual figures and the eBay name, I'll be happy to leave it just mentioning that Dantomkia is the rarest and most sought after. Datovidny (talk) 20:12, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

Tentoumushi
I can't say I agree with changing the Middleweight Melee link into a Middleweight Championship link. As you may or may not be aware, the fight which Tentoumoushi and A-Kill drew in was not the middleweight championship, merely an exhibition match for the middleweights in the building. The actual middleweight championship was cancelled. If there's a reason for your edit, tell me, otherwise I'm most likely going to change it. Toast Ultimatum  21:10, January 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * Andrew Norton from Hard Cheese said here that the championship was cancelled and the Middleweight Melee was just an exhibition battle. I noticed that you posted near the bottom of that page, but you may not have read all of it. Christophee (talk) 22:16, January 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * I was fully aware that it was merely an exhibition battle between some of the middleweights that were present on the day, but I changed it at the top of the page because it technically did enter to take part in the championship, the problem is that apart from the Hard Cheese page none of the other competitors have it in their pages that it was an exhibition battle, so if someone's looking for a job to do... Datovidny (talk) 07:45, January 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * I thought you'd almost certainly be aware of it. It makes sense to mention both the melee and the cancelled championship, but we should make it clear that they're not the same thing. I'll have a look through those pages and see what changes need to be made. Christophee (talk) 14:08, January 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * What do you guys think of the way I've restructured the page? I think that would be a good format for the other Middleweight Melee competitors. Christophee (talk) 14:23, January 22, 2013 (UTC)

That looks ideal, a similar setup for the rest of them would be good if you want to go ahead and do that, bearing in mind Hard Cheese I feel has already been covered. Datovidny (talk) 15:38, January 22, 2013 (UTC)

Recent Changes
Do you know whats wrong with the recent wiki activity page? It doesn't have the link to the Recent Changes pages at the top. Sam (BAZINGA) 16:05, March 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Seems to have been removed for some reason. Do you have Recent changes added to your toolbar thing at the bottom of the page? If so, then you don't really need the link on the Wiki Activity page. Christophee (talk) 16:27, March 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I now have the recent changes thing on the toolbar at the bottom of the page. Sam (BAZINGA) 16:39, March 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * It could just be a random bug with Wikia, it gets those a lot. If not, then it's Wikia that's made the change, not us. Hard cheese, basically. It's a shame we can't edit MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation to change the Wiki Activity link into a Recent Changes link. Regardless, I recommend using the toolbar you've become aware of, or just accessing Recent Changes through your bookmarks. Toast  Ultimatum  16:41, March 7, 2013 (UTC)

I'd go with the bug tangent, but even so, it makes little difference. Though may I add how nice it is to get new messages, a thrill I don't really get anymore, or in fact many people. In fact, the top of this page shows a conversation from this time last year! Datovidny (talk) 17:18, March 7, 2013 (UTC)

Quiz - Dutch Tracked Robots
David, Toast asked you a valid question in regards to the answer to the tracked robots in the Dutch Series. Why did you continually ignore him? I think he deserves an answer CrashBash (talk) 15:59, July 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * The last one was Beaverbot. Toast  Ultimatum  16:02, July 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, OK...but he could have said something. CrashBash (talk) 16:04, July 27, 2013 (UTC)
