So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

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

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

If I only had a brain...

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.

One visitor can have many hits. One visit can have many hits.

Karl, for sucking I have nothing formal in place, but a sequence of mini-hacks that takes about 10 minutes to result in something like this archived natter thread [LARGE].

Thanks ita. That makes much sense.

My husband's writing a threadsucker; the main drawback is that you have to run it on the server. Will advise.
