How about putting a limit on page title lengths, and anything that exceeds that number blocks the user (if not a trusted account)? How about: "Untrusted users can only edit their own User pages"? From my experience on other forums, SEO spambots will often sign up accounts on wikis only to fill thei...

You're using synthesise-constellation-ee9.py , right, not the synthesise-patt version? So the problem is not finding two beehives at specific offsets, it's finding one out of hundreds or thousands of those patterns where the reaction envelope doesn't get in the way of some pre-existing pattern. Tha...

Wow, I'm amazed that took so long. Do you ever run u or v searches? Asymmetric comes with gutter, but that leaves a strange gap in searching for some speeds. The laptop I ran these searches on isn't exactly high-end... in fact I'm surprised the search only took 43 days. I was prepared to wait anoth...

Since I'm no longer in danger of double-posting, I'll announce it here: the mystery search has finished. ./ntzfind B3/S23 w7 p13 k2 g l2000 r ntzfind 3.0 by "zdr", Matthias Merzenich, Aidan Pierce, and Tomas Rokicki, 24 February 2018 - ./ntzfind B3/S23 w7 p13 k2 g l2000 r Rule: B3/S23 Period: 13 Off...

What search are you running currently, and have you done any other high witth 6c/13 searches besides g? I don't know what search is running at the moment, but I can check when it finishes. If I had to wager a guess, it would be 2c/13 or 3c/13. I've only searched up to w7 on the other symmetries, an...

...Alright, back to lurking!

you may find my spreadsheet of negatives useful Thanks, although you have recorded some things differently from the main table. On the wiki, a cell is marked green if there is a known spaceship of that width/speed combination and it has been proven that no thinner spaceships of that type exist. You...

Actually, I've been running higher-period searches with ntzfind 3.0 for quite a long time without reporting anything. I haven't had a single positive result, but you may find my spreadsheet of negatives useful: partials.zip Most of the searches took a negligible amount of time - a few hours at most....

Hello again. I apologise for double posting, but I've decided to release my script and every oscillator it found. Be warned: my code is NOT for the faint of heart. greycellsoscs.zip Many of the oscillators are hopeless - especially the ones with blocker cells buried inside the rotor. Some oscillator...

Hi everyone. I’ve been logging in almost every day for the last 3 years, although I don’t post very often. I never introduced myself in 2015, so I suppose I’ll just do it now. I’m a data analyst at a large bank, based in the UK. In my spare time I press refresh on conwaylife, and collect and solve t...

How does 44p14 look like? This would be much easier to answer if you give a little context in the question. Where did you run into a reference to "44p14"? It seems like there might have been a typo somewhere along the line for 34p14 . The Wiki page for Tumbler mentions a 44P14, discovered in 1997.
