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

It's ugly there too. I'm not sure how I lost it.

I'm currently bringing up www.buffistas.net, and leaving css.buffistas.net untouched.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I have a local copy on my machine at home, so it's no bother to re-upload. Where should I upload it to?

You can put it back on css.net.

General call for volunteers: I need some random-assed content for www.buffistas.net. It has no connection datawise to this site, so you'd have to re-register. But I want to do some sandbox work, and would really appreciate the terrain on which to work.

If you have a few silly minutes, hie thee to [link] I'll be over there creating threads and folders.

Because books.

ita, it won't let me log in with my current name and password. I'm willing to be silly, though.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Bringing up www.buffistas.net is an interesting exercise. To go from nothing to barebones requires running 137K or so of SQL, copying over a few folders of PHP files, and some unfortunate klutzing because I haven't yet written code to create thread folders. But it's not *that* bad. Not good enough that I'd feel comfortable sharing it with other people (and certainly not before it's optimised), but it's not entirely wires and trauma and drama on the back end.

But I've let the queries get out of hand, and that has to be reined in. Also, I'd like to retool the DB structure so each thread has its own table--that way Other Media is less impacted by Natterish craziness.
