Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

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

We don't need one, really! With access to the database, and the ability to show all the posts in a thread, all I have to do is tweak some code to leave out the links, and to drop the posting box.
Maybe this weekend.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Is that something that people could use to suck the thread on thier own, or for archival purposes? It sounds like some people are in the habit of sucking it to read it.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Yeah, people suck.
