Of course they are for everyone.

@Ellri

Okays, thanks Ellri. :)

<Snipped quote by SilverRain>

The features and corrections discussed here are simply for development purposes. While you could tell others about what we have discussed (it's no secret; they could check here themselves), it may create false hopes, as some of the features are staged for the future, short or distant. The best case scenario is that they understand that fact and regard it with interest, but the worst case scenario is that they hound Mahz to implement a feature that wasn't planned to be included for a long duration of time.

TL;DR Be careful about what you promise to others, and how you tell people about things, because they may interpret it incorrectly.

@LegendBegins

I'll keep your words in mind as well, LegendBegins. Indeed communication, interpretation and expectations can vary a lot or even be completely different as it's passed from one to another.

With 225+ users online at the moment, I think I may have caused a sudden influx of friend adds. :p

Would it be right to say that features posted here can be spread amongst the community? Or are they still not meant for the masses yet?

Mahz's Dev Journal

Okays, thanks guys. :)

Also @Ellri, I think your next post should be your 2000th one. Congrats! :)

I'll try to log out after this as well too, just to see what I appear as. :) @Ellri

Mahz's Dev Journal

Just checked for testing purposes, @SilverRain.
Next to your name, nothing new. on the friends list, you are listed as online.

@Ellri

*meeps* "They... can see me?" *hides behind glass*

So I suppose that means after I go offline, they can see the last time I was online too? I'll stay still for this test. :p

Or maybe I can try logging out. Want me to?

So I'm currently Invisible right now... What would appear next to my name if someone has added me as their Friend?

Programmin'

Well in theory, I think a person can code a game in PowerPoint using slide transitions and animations alone... Not that I have done it, no, not at all... :p

Okays, thanks Mahz. :).

*goes to teh arena*

Mahz's Dev Journal

I wanted to reply to the survey on my phone, but ended up accidentally tapping 'Send feedback' before i could type anything. My response would have been (and still is 'Autosave'). :)

Also, loving the Arena stats! Makes me want go go into dueling again just to score some points! Though its strange in that I can see it fine in the public threads, but it doesn't appear on PMs? Same goes for Title, Post Count and the Bio plus Status buttons. Is it something planned for later?

Programmin'

A habit of mine is to not increment my do whiles. Crash, make changes, run, infinite loop. Repeat.

I'm not a Unix person (I just code), but I do love recursion with GNU's Not Unix. It's the most novel acronym I've come across.

Anyhoo, I'm curious. Any COBOLs or FORTRANs here? I heard they're a rare bunch these days. But I wonder, what was the programming world like before COBOL? Was it punched cards?
