'Trash'
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Heh. Yes, it is a positive - sorry, my bad. It's a slightly antiquated phrase popular in UK parlance in the late 90s, not quite so much in 2003. See also "The mutt's nuts" for whacky canine testicular complimentary goodness. (Or do I mean complementary goodness? Alas, me and my erratic spelling...)

Aww, Fay, you're the mutt's nuts.
Hokay. Here's where we're at financially:
Contributions recieved: $1,173.83 from 38 people
Bank fees: $133.25
PayPal fees: $17.80
DomainDiscover fees: $100
HostRocket (2 years' hosting, recent upgrade and support fees): $307.70
buffistas.org registration (to jengod): $35
Total out: $593.74
Total left: $580.08
In short, Go Team Buffista and all of that.
I'm not saying this to be critical because I know a lot of research was done to pick a bank, but why are the bank fees so high? What are they for?
I know, I know. We're paying $9.50 a month. I need to look into getting it lower, but have not.
Carrying over something I said on the WC thread: about making old threads into zip files for downloading and offline reading. Naturally, the Nillys would no longer work, however, that is not a problem. Since the zipped HTML file would open in the browser as one long page, it's a simple matter of hitting Ctrl + f, typing in the post number of the original Nilly and reading. To coincide with this, a stompy can edit Nilly's thread and give the Post # instead of the old link.
It really isn't that difficult -- hell, if I can do it for the TT threads I've threadsucked, then anyone can -- and if it can do something to prevent another server overload and reduce bandwidth and server space blow-out, then a bit of inconvenience is worth it.
And now I see there's a $4/mo plan we can get on, and I will call them right now.
Thank you, ita, you're a hero!
jimi - that was something we'd already been planning on doing. It was discussed some time ago in the BBaBB thread. There have since been requests to do something that would require fewer steps for the user. (for the record, I agree with you)
t edit Great news, Jesse!
Thanks, Jesse.
