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

We're going to have to start a promotional drive for skipping and skimming. Miracleman and billytea will be encouraged to post directly to COMM so people won't look through Natter for their posts. I can give up reading The Quotable Buffy for Lent.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I have to say that another site I'm affiliated with (the Save Farscape site over on WDsection.com) is having a terrible time with HostRocket. They've flung up their hands in despair and are attempting to relocate the entire site and all the forums. Hostrocket frelled up the redirect on savefarscape.com and has supplied almost nothing in the way of customer support.

Just... FYI.

If I only had a brain...

Did we know that some bastard is squatting on buffistas.com?

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

No -- that's us. We have .net, .com and .org.

t Duh. I got the "reserved for" message and was fooled.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

How do we make it so .com and .net forward here?

Jesse, you have to log in to domaindiscover.com (our registrar), and point both of them to the URL [link]

Done! Wheeee!

I even remembered the password.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Has anyone written an external threadsucker (in the style of John H's getwx.pl) for the Phoenix Board? Or would it be easier to simply provide an internal PHP script/page that dumps an entire thread to ``printable'' HTML (i.e. no sidebar, no first/previous/next/last links, etc.)?

And, in case anyone is wondering, yes, I'd be happy to code either or both.

[Edited to indicate that I know the proper term for the Phoenix is `forum' rather than `thread,' but `forumsucker' just sounds strange.]

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you

A question of no urgency but my own curiosity: what's the difference between hits and visitors in that table ita posted? What is each counting? Because I've heard those terms used interchangeably.
