I think my point is to leave them to leave the Nilly and Promo breakdowns intact.
I get desire to keep the Nilly links working, but Promo breakdowns? How do they fit into the mix?
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

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
So when do we take over the world?

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Right now.

Huh. Jon, the form gave me an invalid email address message.

Tiny thought I had taking a fresh look at the interface here -- TITLE attributes on the links at the bottom of a thread page would be good, the ones which read
Read New | First | Previous | Next | Last | Recent
that is.
If I could hover over them and be reminded that "Last" means "go to the last post on a page by itself" as opposed to "Recent" which means "go to the last full page of posts" -- or whatever, it would save me some head-scratching, and also might save me inadvertently marking some posts as read.
