2020-06-10 20:43:26 taylor_itkin: Trying to find someone on Licensing for you
2020-06-10 20:43:27 naepicfael: Yes, but you'd have to license it under something compatible with CC-BY-SA 3.0 and give proper attribution
2020-06-10 20:43:35 taylor_itkin: Yay naepic
2020-06-10 20:44:42 HaveAQuestion: Ok, because I just made a plot for the first episode and I have more questions just in case my logic isn't real

2020-06-10 20:48:18 taylor_itkin: Still
2020-06-10 20:49:03 HaveAQuestion: Question: how many people can fit in SCP-002
2020-06-10 20:49:27 taylor_itkin: That still doesn’t apply here
2020-06-10 20:49:43 taylor_itkin: Unless you have a question for staff, you will want to go to #site19
2020-06-10 20:50:01 HaveAQuestion: This is new to me, how do you switch chat rooms
2020-06-10 20:50:09 taylor_itkin: Read the chat guide.

2020-06-10 20:52:00 HaveAQuestion: What does member mean
2020-06-10 20:52:34 naepicfael: Okay
2020-06-10 20:52:57 naepicfael: bird_is_word: First, you need to register and then identify your nickname to change to site19
2020-06-10 20:53:01 naepicfael: HaveAQuestion: In what context?
2020-06-10 20:53:32 HaveAQuestion: Member to be able to create a SCP
2020-06-10 20:53:55 naepicfael: I mean, you need to join the site to write for the site?
2020-06-10 20:53:58 naepicfael: .s join this site
2020-06-10 20:54:03 naepicfael: Follow the instructions here
2020-06-10 20:57:19 HaveAQuestion: It didn't work
2020-06-10 20:58:01 birdisword: it wont let me join site19
2020-06-10 20:58:10 taylor_itkin: Did you register your nick
2020-06-10 20:58:16 birdisword: yes
2020-06-10 20:58:17 Tuomey: birdisword: you didn't register your nick like what the chat guide said to
2020-06-10 20:58:23 taylor_itkin: No
2020-06-10 20:58:39 HaveAQuestion: How to register nick
2020-06-10 20:58:47 Tuomey: .sea chat guide
2020-06-10 20:58:49 taylor_itkin: Read the guide
2020-06-10 20:58:58 Tuomey: The instructions are in the guide with pictures
2020-06-10 20:59:04 yes: type /nick then the name you want
2020-06-10 20:59:12 taylor_itkin: No
2020-06-10 20:59:15 Tuomey: If you have a question about a specific step of the process, we will be happy to help
2020-06-10 20:59:52 Tuomey: yes: I can only assume you tried to put a space in your name just now - IRC doesn't like spaces
2020-06-10 20:59:59 Tuomey: you can use underscores or dashes instead
2020-06-10 21:00:33 HaveAQuestion: What part in the guide talkd
2020-06-10 21:00:51 HaveAQuestion: Talks about registering nicks
2020-06-10 21:00:54 Tuomey: HaveAQuestion: no, shut up
2020-06-10 21:00:58 Tuomey: Read the damn thing
2020-06-10 21:01:37 Tuomey: It's very obvious so I'm assuming that either you haven't even clicked on it or you are trolling
2020-06-10 21:01:49 yes: i was changing my nick without ever registering it sorry for the inconvenience
2020-06-10 21:04:07 HaveAQuestion: I like how the first rule is don't be a d@#k ( he says right after noticing he is acting like one)
2020-06-10 21:04:36 taylor_itkin: Bud
2020-06-10 21:04:42 taylor_itkin: We asked you to read the chat guide
2020-06-10 21:04:44 taylor_itkin: .s chat guide
2020-06-10 21:04:45 taylor_itkin: This one
2020-06-10 21:04:53 HaveAQuestion: Don't hurt me
2020-06-10 21:05:13 Tuomey: HaveAQuestion: how old are you
2020-06-10 21:05:22 HaveAQuestion: 15
2020-06-10 21:05:27 taylor_itkin: I’m??
2020-06-10 21:05:33 taylor_itkin: Not going to hurt you what the fuck
2020-06-10 21:05:50 yes: im really new and even i know arguing with an admin
2020-06-10 21:06:05 HaveAQuestion: Wait, we can swear
2020-06-10 21:06:14 taylor_itkin: HaveAQuestion: if you’re 15 please start acting like it
2020-06-10 21:06:40 Tuomey: yes: do you know about intervening when mods are talking to a user about their behaviour
2020-06-10 21:08:51 HaveAQuestion: How is the wiki able to hold this much articles
2020-06-10 21:09:13 Corvus: Because text is easy to store
2020-06-10 21:09:16 Tuomey: Wikidot has essentially unlimited hosting for text
2020-06-10 21:09:36 Corvus: You could fit the wiki on a decent flash drive
2020-06-10 21:09:49 Tuomey: Ignoring images, probably even a shitty one
2020-06-10 21:10:29 MalyceGraves: I'm sure someone has it on a flash drive
2020-06-10 21:10:30 HaveAQuestion: Plus I have been noticing that the recent SCP articles don't have pictures
2020-06-10 21:10:38 MalyceGraves: Uh
2020-06-10 21:10:39 MalyceGraves: no.
2020-06-10 21:11:03 HaveAQuestion: Wait, they do
2020-06-10 21:11:18 taylor_itkin: HaveAQuestion: do you have a question for staff?
2020-06-10 21:11:33 naepicfael: HaveAQuestion: Whether an author decides to put images on their article or not is up to their discretion.
2020-06-10 21:11:34 Tuomey: Authors can choose to have pictures
2020-06-10 21:12:44 HaveAQuestion: Yes, does anyone want to help me make this TV show (in order to help with the show, you need a discord account
2020-06-10 21:13:06 Tuomey: No
2020-06-10 21:13:19 Tuomey: That would be something to ask in general chat
2020-06-10 21:13:21 yes: are there qualifications?
2020-06-10 21:13:26 Tuomey: And even then, I'm gonna be real with you
2020-06-10 21:13:34 Tuomey: You're not likely to receive a good response
2020-06-10 21:14:06 HaveAQuestion: Why?
2020-06-10 21:14:11 Tuomey: You can post about it on the fanworks section of the forums but unless you have something to show, very few people ever want to work on something someone says they're planning to do on the internet
2020-06-10 21:14:50 HaveAQuestion: Unless it is Netflix, gotcha
2020-06-10 21:14:54 Tuomey: In particular, we have had a few hundred, possibly even a couple thousand, people come through here over the years saying they're going to make something
2020-06-10 21:15:16 Tuomey: No, if it was Netflix contacting us via IRC we'd assume it was a troll
2020-06-10 21:15:16 naepicfael: HaveAQuestion: The license that SCP is under makes it unlikely Netflix will ever take it up
2020-06-10 21:15:29 Corvus: Netflix knows how to contact me
2020-06-10 21:15:34 Corvus: My team has spoken to netflix
2020-06-10 21:15:51 Corvus: They sure af don't send what would obviously be their least intelligent employee into this irc
2020-06-10 21:16:38 Tuomey: If someone has a cool project they can show a baseline level of work for - like a pilot episode, for a TV show - people will be interested
2020-06-10 21:17:10 Tuomey: But infinity people essentially continue to show up and say they will make something, they just need other people to do things, then disappear forever
2020-06-10 21:18:03 HaveAQuestion: Where can I show a baseline level
2020-06-10 21:18:16 AbsentmindedNihilist: HaveAQuestion: hi friend
2020-06-10 21:18:21 Corvus: Do you have any experience in the television industry
2020-06-10 21:18:29 AbsentmindedNihilist: HaveAQuestion: I am intending to be a show runner
2020-06-10 21:18:39 AbsentmindedNihilist: I’ve studied films and written pilots
2020-06-10 21:18:45 AbsentmindedNihilist: I am telling you now
2020-06-10 21:18:54 HaveAQuestion: I have a YouTube channel
2020-06-10 21:18:54 AbsentmindedNihilist: Making an SCP TVs
2020-06-10 21:18:58 AbsentmindedNihilist: Show?
2020-06-10 21:19:05 AbsentmindedNihilist: Fool’s errand.
2020-06-10 21:19:29 yes: i am trying to register an account but i never got the password sent to my email and it says i did
2020-06-10 21:19:40 taylor_itkin: Check your spam folder
2020-06-10 21:19:43 Tuomey: HaveAQuestion: If you have SCP stuff on your channel, feel free to post your youtube channel in the fan work section of the forums though
2020-06-10 21:19:53 AbsentmindedNihilist: The license makes it so that it’s difficult as hell to make money off of as a streaming thing + you can’t be the only person with merchandise
2020-06-10 21:20:03 yes: dont have a spam folder
2020-06-10 21:20:07 taylor_itkin: HaveAQuestion: what is your first language
2020-06-10 21:20:09 AbsentmindedNihilist: I’d be shocked if a network picked it up
2020-06-10 21:20:18 HaveAQuestion: English
2020-06-10 21:20:22 DrBleep: yes through wikidot or irc
2020-06-10 21:20:59 AbsentmindedNihilist: HaveAQuestion: also a TV show is by FAR one of the hardest media to make
2020-06-10 21:21:11 Tuomey: yes: search your email for synirc
2020-06-10 21:21:15 HaveAQuestion: Webseries but ok
2020-06-10 21:21:16 AbsentmindedNihilist: My sincere advice is to try a short film instead
2020-06-10 21:21:27 AbsentmindedNihilist: HaveAQuestion: even then, still tough
2020-06-10 21:21:34 bluesoul: [19:20:04] <yes> dont have a spam folder
2020-06-10 21:21:43 bluesoul: your registration is on a gmail address, you do have a spam folder
2020-06-10 21:21:51 bluesoul: and if you don't know where it is, that's probably why you can't find the confirmation email
2020-06-10 21:22:00 HaveAQuestion: The episodes would be 13 minutes long
2020-06-10 21:22:20 taylor_itkin: Okay I’m going to make this incredibly simple
2020-06-10 21:22:25 taylor_itkin: Do you or do you not have a question for us
2020-06-10 21:22:37 taylor_itkin: If you do not and you simply want to talk about your YouTube channel, this is not the place.
2020-06-10 21:23:01 bluesoul: HaveAQuestion here's the thing, the license you have to release the work under is such that netflix can't display the work at all, as it prohibits DRM protection of the work. also, anyone can choose to take your work verbatim and give it away
2020-06-10 21:23:13 bluesoul: ask netflix how they feel about those two points before firing up the camera, IMO
2020-06-10 21:23:30 yes: it was in my spam folder i didn't know i had one sorry i am stupid
2020-06-10 21:23:36 bluesoul: nah it's alright
2020-06-10 21:23:48 bluesoul: it happens a lot with gmail in particular
2020-06-10 21:23:57 AbsentmindedNihilist: bluesoul: I already covered that lol
2020-06-10 21:24:00 DrBleep: gmail buries the spam folder
2020-06-10 21:24:04 DrBleep: it's awful
2020-06-10 21:24:09 yes: thanks for the help and bye
2020-06-10 21:24:17 DrBleep: cya glad we could help
2020-06-10 21:24:29 HaveAQuestion: Yeah, I hate the new Gmail update
2020-06-10 21:25:37 taylor_itkin: HaveAQuestion: do you or do you not have a question
2020-06-10 21:25:54 DrBleep: HaveAQuestion please answer Taylor's question
2020-06-10 21:25:55 HaveAQuestion: Gtg, bye
2020-06-10 21:26:09 Corvus: That's a no.
2020-06-10 21:26:12 taylor_itkin: I.
2020-06-10 21:26:14 taylor_itkin: Have never.
2020-06-10 21:26:16 taylor_itkin: Ever.
2020-06-10 21:26:23 taylor_itkin: Wanted to leave 17 more than I do right now.
2020-06-10 21:26:30 DrFullham: Don't blame ya.
2020-06-10 21:26:41 taylor_itkin: silently cried
2020-06-10 21:26:51 barredowl: reassure
2020-06-10 21:26:52 Corvus: Yeah it's been a rough however long it's been
2020-06-10 21:26:55 barredowl: *reassures
2020-06-10 21:26:57 Karakatt: Ho my god. I'm sorry Taylor
2020-06-10 21:27:11 taylor_itkin: Do you have a question.
2020-06-10 21:27:11 Corvus: Hey taylor guess what

2020-06-10 21:27:46 AbsentmindedNihilist: taylor_itkin: ill take it from here
2020-06-10 21:27:52 taylor_itkin: No I have it
2020-06-10 21:28:38 taylor_itkin: HaveAQuestion: do you have a question
2020-06-10 21:29:13 Tuomey: Note: Questions relating to rules or how to use the site or chat
2020-06-10 21:29:25 taylor_itkin: And not about your webseries
2020-06-10 21:29:38 Corvus: Dude hasn't replied
2020-06-10 21:30:04 HaveAQuestion: taylor_itkin It does not say how to be a member, unless I accidentally skipped a part, in that case if it is, I'm sorry
2020-06-10 21:30:10 taylor_itkin: Okay
2020-06-10 21:30:14 taylor_itkin: See that’s something I can help you with
2020-06-10 21:30:23 taylor_itkin: Have you read the guide for newbies
2020-06-10 21:30:43 HaveAQuestion: Yes, that is what I am talking about
2020-06-10 21:30:50 taylor_itkin: Okay
2020-06-10 21:30:56 taylor_itkin: The password you need to apply with is in there
2020-06-10 21:31:02 taylor_itkin: I can’t help you find it other than telling you it’s there
2020-06-10 21:31:33 HaveAQuestion: Can you send me the link to it again, I left it confused
2020-06-10 21:31:51 taylor_itkin: .s guide for newbies

2020-06-10 21:33:04 Tuomey: We can't explain the passcode any further than "it is in the guide for newbies"
2020-06-10 21:33:30 Tuomey: Maybe read the join page first, if that's your focus here
2020-06-10 21:33:36 HaveAQuestion: Ok, this calls for a MONTAGE!
2020-06-10 21:33:49 HaveAQuestion: HaveAQuestion was kicked by Corvus for: It calls for fucking reading.
