I don't know why it wouldn't let me delete it.

What is even happening?

why are we hitting on that "school kids" one? I'd google it, but I can't make myself. And can we do anything, so we *don't* hit on that, because ewwwwwwww

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It's Betsy's fault...

I think the "penis" was part of the random quote at the top. Lucky shot.

Can we make the Links page non-searchable since that seems to be a big hit?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't think it harms us for people to hit it, and they may very well find what they're looking for. If you run the numbers, it has under 20 hits from those searches, which is .02% of the hits in that table.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

I know this is a silly question, but why do people *search* for www.buffistas.org? Why not just type it into the location bar?!

hip deep in pie

I've done it a few times at school so that the address doesn't stay in the address bar of the browser. Even though the computers are supposed to totally reset everytime you log out, they never truly do.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

They may not want a record of it typed directly into the address bar. Depending on whose computer you're using, what it's set to remember, how AutoComplete is set up, blah blah blah...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The address bar thing, plus there's this whole freaky phenomenon where tons of people act as if google or yahoo or whatever *is* the internet, and type in whatever they want there whether they know the URL or not.

I realise it's become so second-nature for me to edit people's posts to close tags that I don't mention it anymore. It transitioned from suggesting the poster do it, to doing it and telling the poster, to just doing it.

I'd hate for an edited by ita tag to be misunderstood -- are other stompies doing this? Should I stop? Should we note somewhere, if it's normal behaviour that it is normal?
