I see no reason to inform him when he is obviously having such a good time doing whatever it is he is doing.

Yes... what is he doing?

Speculation abound! The forum 'whos online' page just says 'forum index' - being the main page, but I bet it's something far more secretive than that.

There is no Bodger. Bodger is a junk account set up by the forum administrators (not moderators) for testing purposes. They also use that account as an anonymous 3rd party account for when they want to post things without bluetext and a bluename. An anonymous handle.
Bodger has been on constant as they try to iron out the kinks in posting, specifically the indexing sql failure. Bodger is not really on, but the script to keep the forums checked to see how the end-user notices keeps the connection alive.


The Bodger is merely a fiction of our imagination.

Welcome back all!

Well that's ruined my fun of speculation. That is about enough speculating I do, can't be bothered with the other stuff. Oh well small thing and all that.

It is the twelfth day that vid has wondered "Is it MORE yet?"

And it's twenty days and counting since Bodger began his journey through these forums in his latest quest to Drive on the Edge.

Not even a server crash stops him.

See? Admin account.
At the data center so it's online when the servers are, not when Cyan is.




Unless... him being on constantly is what crashed the servers! I mean, maybe it overflowed a value, which broke a stack, which segfaulted and killed a very unstable running process, which brought down the whole works!



Bodger! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!

Lol, Bodger shall be responsible for the downfall of Cyan and their equipment!

So "to bodge" becomes a new verb, with "bodger" as the noun for one who bodges network equipment, etc.

Throw it into the sniglets thread, if there is one.

I did a search on postings made by Bodger to prove the account is more than an Admin junk account ala Gondor:

"There is no Bodger. Bodger is a junk account set up by the forum administrators (not moderators) for testing purposes. They also use that account as an anonymous 3rd party account for when they want to post things without bluetext and a bluename. An anonymous handle.

I found postings but I can't link to them, I can't even cite them. Just have to believe me the account is not an Admin junk account.

Interesting the Bodgers signature has an image of a Bahro like creature with horns! Oh what does it all mean????

Gondor

Gondor is a region in Middle Earth. Gondar is the person whose humor one gets used to. He probably also promotes the conspiracy theory that the moon landings were fake, just to watch people squirm.

As for Bodger, he has a website (proving his existance to all but the most extreme conspiricists) with an interesting story which I linked to above, but will again: http://johnmcgaw.com/trip_intro.html

Yeah, right. We're supposed to just take your word for it?

Wow. Uhm.. I need to be careful about making jokes here. Apparently bodgered is now a term.. though to be fair 'bodge' was to begin with, which probably inspired Bodger's name (while Gondar is not a mis-spelling of Gondor in origin, but no matter)


I'm still sticking to my admin junk account theory. As I said, they use it to do the occasional post under the Bodger pen-name so it doesn't look suspicious.

Welcome back all!

Yet another week has gone by on The Bodger Watch.

It's been an active week for Bodger to be sure. With this entry, he has made it on the "Weird Terms List" (aka "Sniglets") of the "Abbreviations list and other definitions" thread::

Quote:

Bodge/Bodgered: to destroy or accidentally take down a server network by staying online for extended periods of time

http://www.mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5701

The new definition commemorates Bodger's tenacity and last week's server meltdown. It is notable that Bodger survived even this, clinging through inhuman strength to his persistent presence on these forums. It is a persistence so overwhelming that an impressed Rand Miller (yes, that Rand Miller), whose favorite word is 'persistence,' was heard to utter "whoa" in a serious deviation from his usual "whoba." The Ae'gura cone lobby has lodged a formal protest.

It is a proud achievement for Bodger I'm sure, living on the edge as he does.

And on its 28th day, The Bodger Watch is still in the lead over vid's "Is it MORE Yet?" thread by a full eight days with no sign of any progress whatsoever in his own watch or in closing the gap. Vid has, however, been seen trying to advance his clock by a day at times in a cheater's effort to catch up. In fact, in the heat of his competitive frustration at being caught out, vid has actually threatened to... well, you have to read it to believe it:

http://www.mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=274521#274521

Yes, that's right. He's going to bite me.

I believe a statement is needed to this thread,

Has he bodged yet?

Which should be updated by repetition of the words spoken until it is said he has bodged
