Hi, as you can see I'm nomming myself for BAG membership again. I'll keep this short since you probably know most of this already. Basicly I run three bots:

• Chris G Bot 3 archives WP:CHU(/SUL) - also used to be a statusbot
• Chris G Bot 2 a clone of PockBot
• Chris G Bot does odd tasks

My old bots were written in perl using perlwikipedia but I have since switched to PHP using a slightly modifed version of Cobi's classes. --Chris 12:29, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Support experienced admin and bot operator. He understands the BRFA system and would make well needed addition to the BAG. BJ^Talk 12:33, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chris, I think the color of your present signature makes it easy to confuse with a redlink. I don't think that's an ideal situation for someone who is a "public face" of the project to novice users and users who come from other language projects. — Carl (CBM · talk) 12:58, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree; the red is quite different: Chris (using current red) Chris (using broken link red) how do you turn this on 13:03, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're assuming both accurate color representation on monitors and good color memory among the readership. Neither of those is a safe assumption. Anyway, I left my comment for Chris. — Carl (CBM · talk) 13:26, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And I left my comment for you saying I disagree with your opinion that it's "easy" to confuse. how do you turn this on 13:30, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've switched it to green --Chris 08:38, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Support - Experienced admin, good bot operator. I also don't oppose on signatures for an RfBAG (although, it can be seen as a redlink). Xclamation point 15:07, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Support Has shown himself to be a competent operator. MBisanz ^talk 22:49, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Support and thank you for fixing the signature. how do you turn this on 15:29, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Support same as last time. SQL^{Query me!} 06:04, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
