A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I'm not sure we really have to worry about this too much right now. I'd rather see us address the problem of making sure all the open tags are closed properly first.

I agree that the open tag issue should be addressed first, but this resulted in such a hideous error --- posts in the wrong order, pieces of posts in strange places ("Posts! Posts in new places!"), that I don't think we want to let it slide for too long.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It just occured to me that we should probably define NAFDA on the front page....

It's in the FAQ.

Yeah, OK.

From the FAQ

In order to keep them unspoiled, we limit discussion of current episodes to specific threads. These are the NAFDA threads. If it's not labeled as a NAFDA thread, don't talk about current episodes in it.

Are the NAFDA threads intended to be independant now? Or is, for instance, reference to current Buffy allowed in, say, the current Angel thread? This was raised in Firefly last week, but I didn't see a resolution.

Right, I mean, I know what it means, but a new person would have to read the FAQ. I guess we want them to read the FAQ anyway, so there you go.

Exactly right. If we start defining things all over the place, the pages would be a mess. That way lies madness.

Julie - I don't know the answer to your question, but you should raise it in Bureaucracy, not here. t /semi-stompy

ita -- I just emailed you (at the velvet address and dev@buffistas) some code which I think will truncate URLs to people's liking.

I also put in a TITLE attribute for the link so that hovering over it will give a little pop-up thing saying "long URL truncated" or whatever.

[EDIT: and there's no such address as dev@buffistas.org -- am I doing the Hallucination Boy thing again? Anyway.]

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

John H is for Hallucination? I should have guessed. Hey, Hallucination Boy, can you archive your random pieces of Vietnam-holiday weirdness taglines in your profile? Cuz I've somehow missed four, and that is unfortunate. (I copy my old tagline into my description whenever I change it -- building up a sort of word collage in lieu of a userpic.)

Hallucination Boy, can you archive your random pieces of Vietnam-holiday weirdness taglines in your profile?

How kind of you to notice. Will do.
