I'm pretty sure tha'ts because you're not allowed to use them.
Are you allowed to use them?
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

OK I re-did the bad-quote-parser so that it returns, like the other one, a one for "something need fixing", a zero for "nothing needed fixing" and a minus-one for the only error I can think of, "where's the damn content?", using Rob's very sensible strategy of keeping the entire universe of negative numbers open for any other errors which we might think of.
You realise of course that if someone's bad typist enough to enter, say:
<a href="[URL]' target="_blank'>
it won't detect it, but hopefully that's a very unusual scenario...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
HostRocket's network just had another hiccup, which made me wonder -- if HostRocket were to go out of business and close shop suddenly, would we be able to recreate our environment, i.e. php scripts, database schema, etc, fairly quickly?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've got everything but the data, Tom.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, how'd we do, bandwidth-wise, in November? And has there been any movement toward putting our archives off-site?

November was pretty low: 1,608,4880k. See what difference you can make switching to 5 minute refresh?

I love this. Or Stompomatic.

But it won't break the board either, which is the main reason we want the stompatron.

It might. The single quote in the middle will be ignored, and the single quote at the end will wait forlornly for its one-true-single-quote, consuming and discarding much HTML along the way.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Well, it had to happen sooner or later. I think I goofed. While trying to close Spike's Bitches 1, I seem to have moved it to archived threads. Now I can't seem to move it back.

You don't need to close threads anymore, victor. Well, actually, I was the only one that could, since I'd not written that code yet.
