HIII I wish to be sysop

[Umaroth]

I'm up I have no life

[LittleMissNyan]

Wooooooo I wanna sysop!

[SilverBreeze]

Can I be syop?

EDIT: Sassy uses %27 for ' in "I%27LL" which is what happens when there's an apostrophe in an URL, I think?

[SilverBreeze]

Can't edit, sorry for double post.

Sig used to be loading, now:
54696d657374616d703a2030362f30332f32303230204020303a3030616d
hexadecimal to text yields:
Timestamp: 06/03/2020 @ 0:00am

I put this in 147, and the new sig has hexadecimal that says "Game 148 ===== Sysop List:" The topic says "Save the site!"
Sassy is fond of hexadecimal.

Edit: I feel the warnings are the clue, but putting the warning numbers together gives me no ideas.

Game On maybe?
OOPS CODEBUSTErs

"WARNING 38418:
HAHAHAAA!"

Minor breakthrough: 38418 appears to be the topic ID of this sassy game or whatever you call the number that comes after &t= in the URL.

Edit: Wait no I'm stupid I think it was just from me messing with the URL.
Topic ID is 17918, whoops.

Also, sassy says they will win. When was the last time the sassy won a game?

[CPScienceDude]

This looks interesting. I'll sit out for obvious reasons, but I'll be watching . . .

[Fyren]

May I be SYSOP?
Edit: Actually, probably wouldn't be the best idea as I'm still pretty new. Ignore this.
