bitterbaby, I think we're missing expertise as much as we're missing server space. My CVS install experiment was marginally successful. I want Karl back.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

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

Dude, what did you just call me? *snerk*
And okay. I just wanted to make sure that I hadn't dropped the ball, "That bitterchick. Makes offers and doesn't follow through."

Fruity Pebbles: Also, just an FYI, I had a bitch of a time getting in here. I can access URLs that start [link] but not [link] Which means I couldn't log in at all. I finally got in through anonymizer. I suspect this is related to the new line hostcentric added and probably temporary but I thought I'd throw it out there. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I say if you threadsuck, nothing gets filtered, and you live with it.
Unless that's more complicated than the other option.
Since that what it does now, I think it's fair to say that it's easier to have nothing get filtered.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
I love you all talking code about this and I want to kiss each and every one of you. And when it gets done, I make you all cookies. I swear.
Will they be persistent cookies? I already have a buffistas.org cookie and it looks like this:

Mmm mmm good.
In the blinvisible message, I'd prefer there not be a link, what with the eye-catching and all. At that point, I've already taken the action. Perhaps a link to the putative relevant faq portion elsewhere?
I was worried about people using it and forgetting how they did it, or new people not realizing it hides all the posts from that user. When you first click "Hide" and it reloads the page, it could put a big help link up top. Or we could have a text-colored link
This post rendered blinvisible by MARCIE (What's this?)
and trust people to mouseover it for a link.
The common practice here is to use a simple text editor like Notepad to compose long posts.
Rrr, arr! Get in the habit of hitting Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C and it will help you wherever you submit text on the net. (If your e-mail, feedback, or post gets eaten, you have a copy right on the Windows clipboard.)
I compose in the box, but I copy and paste quotes to "buffistas.txt" in Notepad. Another keyboard shortcut: you can assign a hotkey to a shortcut so "Ctrl-Alt-N" opens Notepad, or "Ctrl-Alt-B" opens your Buffista clip file.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Might be a stupid question...
Who sees the message? The person who has been MARCIED or the, um, MARCIER? Will the MARCIED know that they have in fact been MARCIED by someone?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Will the MARCIED know that they have in fact been MARCIED by someone?
No.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Only the MARCIER sees the message. The MARCIEE will not know at all unless someone taunts them about it or something. Which would be rude.

Very very rude.

Sorry I got Jon B. filtered out, what did he say?
