What about all those searchbots? One day I saw 71 on.... weird....
And I'm suspecting about lots of other stuff too, but maybe it's not a good idea to tell about those...
so i think we all agree that, weird happenings with the search bots should be one. I'm-a-go add it to the list/make a list
There were 177 people on the site all on at once, lol.
O yeah I wondered about that. I thought that number was just the total members... but i checked and we have about 200+ members registered.
And even though it was active way back when I joined... 177 at the same time... that's a little... lol
I'll add it for now until Atrius or Charon clears it up...
That count includes guests, and I remember checking the logs for that day, we had a LOT of people redirected here from StumbleUpon all at once.
Ah, so that's what happened, huh? I've used to think you were livestreaming some sort of go.... (maybe it's time for me to shut up)
I came here one day and all the icons on everything were changed to the yahoo answers flower icon thing. I thought I was going crazy and decided not to mention it. then there was that april fools joke. but I forgot what happened. every few days or so, for me at least, the view all button under the cbox disappears. idk why. but that's all I got.
I know what you mean, every now and then i see the My Messages and profile buttons over lapping and when i try to click on my messages it clicks on profile...
so I guess I'd say... wierd button errors or random button errors.
Yeah, I get the button errors a lot, too, especially when I post. The emotes and other buttons get all mixed up. I've posted a question about it on the feedback topic, but nobody replied...
O i have one. why does the snow effect randomly crash some peoples computers so easily?
(or lag bad)
the snow is fine on my computer though...
Ah i got one.
random boosts of activity followed by random points of total inactivity.
:P
Strangest things that have happened to me on this site? People quitting in a hissy.
Role did it maybe a couple times, but she is active and healthy right now, though. Charon rage quit... Salanewt quit from I guess boredom... etc.
People being forced to leave do to events...
I would also include Jiten's leaving a mystery as well.
Ok I'll add that one to the list. we almost have 7 so... that's good i think?
Jiten was explained in my Introductory post. Read it.
Your introductory post is not very convincing...
Quote from: Shinagami's signatureAnyone else think Ixion is Jiten?
That thought did occur to me once... Though, I would not have enough evidence to believe it.. so..
The mystery I had in mind was.. How did he die? Ixion's intro post seems to state something about not seeing Jiten for six months and using that as evidence for his death... Though, I do not see that as being good enough evidence... For all I know, he could have gotten amnesia. At worst, be permanently disabled... Hm...
I figure that this quote
QuoteHonestly it seems like you guys lost an invaluable member to a Nuclear Storm
... refers to GSHC's argument problems....? (Or is it literally a nuclear storm?)
But anyway, I probably won't look into these events much further because they seem rather pointless save for the idea that it might make this forum a little more active for a couple more days. And whether Ixion would be Jiten or not barely makes a difference to me right now anyway. (I doubt it, but for the sake of concept.)
The seven mysteries of GSHC, one of the members has seven mysteries about them.
One: Jiten deleted everything about himself. Posts, name....EVERYTHING.
Two: Ixion shows up claiming he was left a "beginners guide" to this website.
Three: Ixion knows things that happened in Skype.
Four: Ixion behaves EXACTLY like him.
Five: The story is too convenient.
Six: The timing is strange.
Seven: I'm not the only suspicious party because it keeps getting brought up.
That's my view on the situation and honestly it doesn't matter in the end if Jiten = Ixion. Jiten is deleted and therefor no rules are being broken. I'd rather this not turn into a huge argument and if someone asks for the issue to be dropped, I ask that everyone respect the wishes of the person.
Ixion... I know, but he wasn't the only person who left. there was Role at one point, I can remember a few others but not their names, one got hurt and was gone for a month, Charon sorta rage quit, and salanewt got bored and left.
all in all, this site has a habit of people leaving lots of times and most of the time for weird or unknown reasons. I mean look at how many registered users there are.
@Kain - Where do I start...well 1...
1. I spoke to him in other chat places like YM messenger or in person and he told me that he had he pm'd Atrius and asked that he delete his account.
2. I knew Jiten for a long time. Which is about 15/19 years at this point in time. He was practically a brother to me.
3. Again, he told me so much that went on because he wanted me to get Skype and I didn't want to, so he brought it upon himself to tell me all the things that went on there.
4. When you hang around someone like that for so long, you pick up things from that person. At least I did. Also, I'm much more aggressive than he was, so there's an explanation for you.
5. That's your personal belief, but he was but a brother and a very good friend, so he helped me out very much in rough times.
6. Nothing to say for that.
7. You, Leaf, and that's all I know. For all I know, probably half of the people you talk with believe that I'm my dead friend.
@Teawater - I was referring to the incident with Charon and Role and the April Fools turning out to be so bad it caused her to leave.
(18+ Warning)
Since everyone wants an explanation, Here's the story: I had all the beginners file before he left. Whenever he left here, he hadn't left quite yet. His mood was changing at the time however, and it was getting noticeable. He probably vanished not to long after he had atrius remove his account. I'd estimate 5 - 6 days. ( At this time, I already knew a good chunk of the skype business up to that point in time of his Online disappearance, had the guide, and his demeanor was changing rapidly. ) After his Real life disappearance, people tried to look for him, I did as well and had no luck. This was going on for about 6 months, (as I've said.) until someone found his body in the desert with half of his head missing with a shotgun that wasn't very far from the corpse. Of course it was rotting because he had to have done it about 1 - 2 months in. I was called down to the hospital and I was asked to identify to see if it was him (His parents were out of town to take a break from the searching to clear their minds and come back and tackle the problem.) So, when I came to the hospital and they unveiled the corpses with a mangled head, dried up husk of a body, thinned out, and basically picked and eaten at, It was him. So you're wondering how would I know to identify the body? The clothes gave it away. The Doctors told me that his internal organs where eaten at as well and that basically there was almost nothing left, save for bits and pieces of random parts ( I won't bother with details.).
____
All of the details In a Basic box
- His mood was changing prior to him leaving (I already had the stories he told me about skype and the beginner file)
- I assume he no longer was on Skype as well
- He disappeared
- People looked for him
- they didn't find him until Six months had passed altogther
- I ended up having to identify the body since I was only one who'd be willing to do it.
- Mangled corpse identified: It's Jiten. he's dead.
- It was suicide, by shotgun. The blast from the shotgun wiped most of his facial features out making it highly difficult to find out it was him or not.
- His clothes gave it away.

At this point, I no longer care what you people do at this point in time because this is the internet, and I learned long ago getting angry about something like this would do nothing. I should have figured about what I was getting myself into when I read the first few posts I stumbled upon when checking this site out for the first time. The April fool jokes going bad, the ragequit of Charon, and leaf's responses to Role/Rolina, etc. I didn't think it'd turn out this way, but it did. Well, I'm done with this and you can discuss this among yourselves. You have your requested details, Don't PM me about thisand you can do what you want, just leave me be about it. I no longer care if you make fun of him or me, but don't involve me. I don't expect respect from the members here at this point in time for any wishes from me or Jiten if he was still alive. Judging from what I've seen from this site, I can't say much about it.

au revoir.
GM notes. Zman, don't dig this hole any deeper by needlessly picking at it. Second, don't bring up sore topics because that's a good way to start more fighting. Next up is my initial reason for this, you do NOT tell other members that they should leave the site for ANY reason. For this I AM issuing you a warning, and finally the giant freaking text.
This isn't just to Zman but to everyone, stop using it. It's annoying, it's spammy and it makes you look immature.
Oh, thanks Ixion! I suppose that clears up most of the details. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a motive... given that his mood changed.
And our next mystery: Editor updates taking forever, but when they are made they are sometimes done in batches. (to include bug fixes.) This mystery includes the fact that no one else seems to be working on it, even after the wanted source version. (Seems only Atrius and I have managed to look at the source, from what I can tell.)
@Kain: Wait, what? Not to contest your leadership or mod-ness or anything, but I didn't see anything wrong with zman's latest post at all, and nobody told anybody else to leave.
That's likely because Kain went in and fixed it like a good GM.
There's no "edited by" thingy at the bottom of the post, though.
Thats because the post isn't there any more.
I didn't say he should leave... I just have a tendacy to word things in a way that comes off as offensive, even though I didn't mean it that way...
I said something like this: If you truly believe people on this site are singling you out to pick on you, maybe you should go a head with your plan to leave. Cause from here it looks like you are needlessly getting stressed out which leads to frustration and fighting. And I can assure you I haven't seen anyone picking on you. If its PM's then tell Atrius.
This is what I meant by the part that Kain got mad about. I don't really care but like I also said in the deleted post. Please take the argument else where.
All five of the posts between this one and my last post are off-topic! So that makes for another mystery: People having the tendency of making topics go off-topic.
So basically, I think you are saying that if he doesn't feel welcomed here, then he shouldn't force himself to keep coming here if he doesn't really want to? In my opinion, it would be quite sad to see him leave. Mainly because this forum isn't very active, but I don't want to be the one keeping people from doing what they choose.
It's a kind thought z, but bringing that up is sort of unnecessary when you think about it - if someone doesn't like being here, no one can force them to, and they'll just stop coming here. I guess we've seen that happen often enough.
As for going off-topic, one of the bigger quirks of this site seems to be the tendency of falling into the loop of new topic -> off-topic -> intense off-topic debate -> telling off and warnings to those involved -> deadness. I guess you could call it a mystery, if you wanted to define the GSHC by mysteries. And without all the off-topic this site would be even less active, which isn't all that strange, really. Ultimately, it's about hacking Golden Sun, and there isn't a lot going on with that nowadays. Also, GS-fans and gamers have other places to go to.
While we're talking about mysteries, Ixion/Jiten comes to mind. I don't know if they're the same person, and I don't care - both are equally qualified, and appear equally enigmatic to me. And I don't mean that in a bad way.
Here's an odd one - The purpose behind the creation of the clans. While I'm not particularly complaining that they exist, I do have to wonder what Charon's rationale was behind their creation - after all, we're not a GS Fansite, we're a community that's supposed to be analyzing the games and hacking into them to create our own. This lead to clans... not really doing anything (despite my efforts).
@Misery: my original post was a big wall of text trying to convince him not to leave and only said maybe he should if he is getting stressed.
also I'm one of the people who aren't leaning either way on who he is. and given my activity its not even a concern. I don't know what he meant by people picking on him...
@Role: The clans always seemed a bit limited. I know that at the "Temple of kraden" site they have like a million clans. But the way it works is a little different I think. My point is, the badge system and the clans are all good, but it needs to be better open to people. badges need to be open for people to make, and clans need an option for people to make their own clan that can be based around a project or hack. That way you could join clans you are interested in because of what ever project there is.
Its my own take of how I picture clans working.
The clans them self are strange but only because of the lack of members and the loss of Charon.
As for the purpose behind the clans, its actually very clear why they were created, it just seems strange because they have failed to work as intended.
So it doesn't count as a mystery
The clans were supposed to encourage fun and conversation and stuff. Instead, they somehow managed to drastically lower site activity, it seems. That's certainly mysterious enough, if you ask me. (Which no-one did.)

He had social and Financial problems that consumed him.
Forgot to reply. Aw. That's terrible, if only we could have done something to help him.
Here's a mystery: Why'd you (^) change your name back to Jiten?
Another mystery: Atrius becomes active again, but not quite as much, while Kain's still busy with life. (Or at least, it appears that way.)

Sorry, the story was a Farse. I apologize about the entire mess I create back then. Plus, people could see right through me anyways, such as Kain and other Moderators.
About the name change: I liked the name, it was the first name I used here and it was quite creative at the time.
Well, Atrius does have a free moment I suppose, as I can thank him for getting my name changed.
I do miss Charon though.
So, at least you all can scratch off one Mystery with me.
Apology accepted.
Yeah, and then there are people like me... Who are likely to do a quick investigation, and then choose to forget about it or something... in thought that it's mostly pointless either way. ; And maybe pretend to play along if want to. (Maybe.)
Okay.
Well, every body has free time to do something. The question is how much free time.
Charon? Oh, not sure if I should say anything...
Okay. Or at least, replace your mystery with: "Why do people make up farse stories?" - To generalize it a bit.
Lol, all dem pranks. I myself go by a different name these days on steam. Name changing is fun imo.
:?: :?: :?:
The real mystery is when people think I don't come here ever.
