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

Over in Bureaucracy, msbelle posted (and I seconded, before thinking about what thread I was in)

I know it's a bit early, but within a 1000 posts, may I suggest:
Natter 8: 8, I forget what 8 was for.

I was offline for a whole 24 hours the other day, and there were close to 1000 natter posts to catch up on when I got back. We will get there before we know it. So anybody love/hate/have another suggestion?

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

Actually, that does belong in Bureaucracy.

Huh. Oops. My bad.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

We had a power blink here this morning; my home network was offline. Anyone trying to reach the CVS box, I apologise. Things should be back to normal now. If not, please e-mail me at the profile address.

ita, I am out of con shadow but working hard. I'll send you mail when I come up for air.

1) The board is being really, really slow, while other internet things don't seem to me. This could be just me, of course, but:

2) I tried going straight to read_new.php when I got here, but I got the

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've been getting a bunch of "page not found" messages.

I just wanna say I've never gotten even a whiff of an error message. I think buffistas.org is perfect like an ita thing.

I've put jengod's suggestion from Bureaucracy (a page for the geographic mailing lists) onto the feature requests list, and I'm quoting what she said here because I think it's a BaBB matter- hope you don't mind, jengod.

organize the lists and give them their own page. New istas of various geographic persuasions don't know they exist. Maybe something like a list of the lists, with radio buttons next to 'em, and a subscribe/unsubscribe button at the bottom.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

  • Rearchitect code to use XML/XSLT
  • Shorten long URLs
  • Tag closer
  • Ability to label bookmarks
  • ENUF filter
