D'oh. Good point.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Not to be searchable, Jon. I think my point is to leave them to leave the Nilly and Promo breakdowns intact.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why is it more important for the Show Threads to be searchable?
While that wasn't the point, pondering the question makes me think that the Show Threads are more valuable (okay, I hate the word too) in terms of board discussion (it was our genesis, and is still much of our core), and I'm more likely to search them than the others. But that's just my pattern.

I get desire to keep the Nilly links working, but Promo breakdowns? How do they fit into the mix?

No worries, PM. Also, maybe this is obvious, but if we go with a version of option 2, we can code the existing Nillylinks so that if a thread is closed, the link redirects to the correct NAME tag in the archived version. In other words, we don't have to change the HREF tag within Nillytown itself.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I'm in favor of option 3. But I want us to be workable. So for me, the big thing is identifying the causes of the current problem of server overload and the anticipated future problems of space. I also hope that we're able to retain a cohesive site, and pay for additional necessary room if we can, rather than branch out to individuals' sites.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I like option 1, and think the Nilly links should be left as is, but turned into plain text, so that people can download the zipped thread, check Nillytown for the post #, and find it using Crtl-F.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
