The board is loading very slowly for me the last couple of minutes, in contrast to other sites. I mean, it's making LJ look fast, and usually b.org is the fastest site I visit. Me, or us?

I've been having the same issue. Just noticed it today.

Aaaand now I'm fine. Speedy as usual. Hmm.

Your tag here.

There's a space missing between the question mark and the following sentence for the Natter description:

...or physics?This is...

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

Actually, it was the slug. (The description is that blurb at the top of each page in the thread.) Fixed.

That's actually very odd, because when I created the thread, all I did was cut and paste the slug from Natter 41, and that one is fine.

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

So I had this thought--hivemind.buffistas.org, the Buffista wiki.

Readable by all, editable by registered users, perhaps not searchable.

Just a place to put...stuff. Stuff that might get repeatedly Nillied. Product recommendation. Tips from Buffistechnology. Recipes...you know.

Sounds cool.

I was afraid of that.

The key would be modifying good wiki software to put our user security on top of it.

Forcing one to be logged in to post or edit is probably not as complex as fully replacing any wiki security tables with our own.

But I will think on it.

If anyone knows any wiki software that might lend itself gracefully to these mods, plese holler.

Oooooooh. I like this idea.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

It could replace the FAQ...

That is, a subset of the wiki could be the FAQ.
