Aeson and Apolyton are really high tech

[pchang]

This site has an IPv6 address. Very impressive. Verizon has rolled out IPv6 in my area and my phone now has a dual stack on the Verizon LTE network. But, earlier today, my phone got borked and only had an IPv6 address. Without a 6to4 gateway, I was only able to connect to sites that had IPv6 addresses. In addition, to Google, Facebook, and Yahoo, I was able to connect to Apolyton. Very impressive Aeson.

Aeson - can you fix the thread title? Stupid autocorrect!

[Elok]

Should've pretended you were referencing Wiglaf. Now you look like Dinner, who is a nice enough guy but just not in the same league.

[My Wife Hates CIV]

pchang. you can call It a function module. BAPI, BADI or whatever.... it's still all the same.

[Aeson]

I have fixed the thread title. Though renaming the site Appleton was tempting.

[-Jrabbit]

...renaming the site Appleton was tempting.

Do it!! These are my people...

Linky:
Appleton, Wisconsin

OK, I was actually born in Fond du Lac, which is at southern end of Lake Winnebago. Appleton is at the north end, with Oshkosh in between.

But the point is this: Every time I hear Ming or Rah say "Appleton," I think of my Wisconsin homeland. So why not match the site name to the way everyone likes to pronounce it?

Aeson even has redundancy:
for IPv6 - he has
2400:cb00:2048:1::681c:a66
and
2400:cb00:2048:1::681c:b66

for IPv4 - he has
104.28.11.102
and
104.28.10.102

Aeson is ready for the internet apocalypse

[giblets]

What is IPv6?

[pchang]

A new Internet addressing scheme that will allow for more than 4 billion devices (2^32) to be connected independently to the Internet at any one time. IPv6 can support 2^128 devices.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Well, this is all very good. Presumably.

[Aeson]

We also have a robust fallback for the zombie apocalypse. If ever a user should go for more than 6 weeks without posting or thanking a post, a DL will automatically be created with the naming convention Zombie_[Username]. Then a dedicated bot will randomly post variations on "BRAAAAINS..." using each of these zombie accounts whenever it encounters a post by a non zombie account.

A similar functionality is set up for the Rapture (eg. Raptured_[Username]: "Glory Be, Praise the Lord!"), though we are having some difficulties integrating the two systems given the resulting race conditions. Even so, the staff feels confident that both systems will be useful regardless of which event should occur. Essentially, this will help us maintain awareness of who has been zombified/raptured, so as to avoid inviting them to poly-meets.

[Egbert]

Why wait?

Can you implement the bot zombies immediately?

Automate the spamming, trolling and flaming.

I would like to see a Zombie_Braindead.

[N35t0r]

But how would we tell the difference

[The Mad Monk]

Yeah, apparently you already want for brains.

I blame this thread for jinxing us into downtime

(Some problem with the backup system slowed the server down to a crawl, I couldn't even get into the host's control panel, let alone connect to the server.)
