Why did you want them to be separate, again?
'Cause there are people who watch Buffy but not Angel, and the Angel quotes just confuse and spoil them (in case they ever did want to watch in the future). I dunno, maybe it's stupid.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)

How does the quotes thing work anyway? Does it generate a random number and look up for that quote in the "quotes" table? In that case, I'm very surprised that it returns "1" so frequently.
Signed, codes PHP for a living, hasn't done a damn thing in the whole day.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
The quotes are from previous seasons. I don't think there's anything later than Season Five and Season Two.

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

The quotes aren't spoilery, though -- they stop at S3 Angel and S6 Buffy, if that. For the UnAmericans among us.
Paul, it's randomised by MYSQL -- ORDER RANDOM LIMIT 1. I campaigned against moving the randomising into PHP, because I thought it would be too much of a performance hit for just a frill.

Yeah, but if people have never seen Angel at all, they are. Perhaps we don't care, I just know that I have a couple of friends that I would love to introduce to the Buffistas, but they'll be spoiled for Angel by the quotes.

The official line in the sand is that anything the Australians have seen is valid everywhere. So even if the quotes were somehow constrained, S1 Angel detailed plot summaries could pop up in Literary, Buffy, F2F planning, everywhere.

Yeah, that's true. I forgot about that.
OK, never mind!

I think we can't care about people who haven't watched a show that's been on for four or seven seasons. We'd end up in white font forever.
eta...
sorry arby - I didn't see your last post before I submitted mine. Consider the dead horse unbeaten by me.

If I only had a brain...
All my Buffistas are belong to *crash*.
I got a couple of SQL errors, which I assume are logged, and an "unable to connect to socket" just now.
