Shrift, assuming you're running Apache, it's really easy to set it up to reroute the links to archive.shriftweb org.

In the shriftweb config --

t virtualhost *
servername archive.shriftweb.org
redirectmatch permanent .* [link]
/ virtualhost

There's also a way to do this using IIS. The only key is being able to munge the server config file -- my techie friend says if you're running Apache he can talk you through it, or if it's IIS he can look it up.

Assuming I've ever done it before. (Edit: That's a slam on my skills, by the way. It's a good idea.)

Thanks for the suggestion, though -- I'll look into it. I might have the access to do that.

I edited the above to say I can get you talked through it by my friend who has mighty web mojo. IM me: misha tepper if you want his contact info.

Hmm. I think I may have found a viable redirect solution using .htaccess -- thanks for poking my uncaffeinated brain, Michele.

If I don't participate, people are going to be mad at me.

Don'tcha just love fandom? It's so...insane.

BTW - In case anyone was wondering, my fire sale is proof that I'm not a fan. Apparently, I was wrong when I thought it was proof of my current financial hardship. Who knew?

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

Uh, yeah. Because packratitude is the true mark of fandom. Whatev.

Huh.

Yeah. Okay. That goes in the crazy pile.

God knows I wouldn't have sold my complete set of Topps bubble gum cards from the first Star Wars movie if I hadn't needed rent money.
