Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That's OK John-- I just like to get it straight in my head. I have never threadsucked before, lacking the ability to run the program, so my only interstion with the threadsucked threads are the one DX zipped.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

lots of stuff removed, like the links on the sides and in the posts

Just f.y.i., any links within posts will not be removed. That would involve doing some sort of regex to each post which I don't want to get involved in. Plus, I would think we want the links that folks post about in the threadsuck.

Sorry, I should have said.

The links like the number-link, edit and delete and mark and whatever in the header.

Got it. That is correct.

If I only had a brain...

Look where ww.buffistas.org goes. Is this fixable? Yes, I am a stupid typo-head.

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

Huh. Dunno. Will look into that.

Any domain that doesn't exists gives that result.

[link] for instance. Though I'm sure that's been reserved for future use...

Hi, some of us in Literary were just talking about a music thread, and someone said she thought it had been discussed before but not implemented for some reason not known to us. So I'm an emissary on the subject. Has it come up before?

One user's comments while I'm here: I like to understand acronyms and terminology. 'Download' or 'save' are explanatory. Not until y'all got into specifics of implementing 'threadsucking' did I finally figure out what it IS. It sounded like an advanced search function to me. Also, 'sucking' is vulgar, not that vulgar is necessarily bad but it does makes me recoil a little when I see it because I don't expect it in a computer function.

But this really was a music thread Q.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

"Suck" is no more inherently vulgar than "blow." They are unique verbs that as such are used in vulgar contexts. "Threadsuck" is not related to those contexts.

"Threadsuck" sets off my vulgarity sensor. And "Threadblow" would to. For some reason, "Download" doesn't. I guess I'm just funny that way.
