I suspect the backslash comes from PHP's "magic quotes" feature, designed to protect against SQL injection attacks but mostly just driving programmers insane.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's a strange time for it to pop up, though. Not sure which conditions were satisfied this time that hadn't occurred before.

And to have it come and go on its own is odd. Is Istrata doing some upgrades on the server?

There's a profile for "Janitor": [link] I'm just wondering if it was registered to Gus's email address.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
FWIW, that account must have been created months ago (based on the user ID). Only one new user account has been created since kimi.
We seem to still be getting a fair amount of lurkers registering.

Yes. I'm wondering created around the time Janitor showed up on the wiki.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The e-mail address associated with the account is not obviously one of Gus's.
We're starting to get into Anathema territory here. Perhaps it's time to stop.

Well, it's certainly time to stop having the discussion here. Wrong thread.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
FYI -- I was just trying to post in the Tech thread (ironically), and got this:
There has been an error. It's of the type we call fatal. Please don't be scared. You're not the one that's going to die.
Okay, where the $$&#&(@#& are the developers?
