You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

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

If only telling someone about a problem was enough to make it go away, and remove fear it could happen again.

They did put in a monitoring change. That's all the change they made, as far as we've been told. They did nothing to resolve the issue, because they were as flummoxed as we were.

Oh good. My tooth is gone but the board is not.

Steven thinks that it has to be some illegal spider trying to mine the database. That's all he can come up with. The only alternative I could come up was a malicious attack against the board. But then, we wouldn't be fine now if it was an attack. So, I think his theory is still the only one holding any water.

In other news, I no longer have to worry about the board getting yanked on Angel premiere night.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

At least it wasn't our fault.

Just got 404ed trying to read Natter. And the board is suddenly loading really slow for some reason.

Nobody

I had trouble loading it about a half an hour ago, for at least 5 or ten minutes.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I got 404'd, too. Had to open a new window to get access again.

Mine cleared up after about five minutes, and the board's all zippy again now.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Oooh! I just noticed that the thread adminstration page now lists the thread number. Were about to add our 79th thread.

For a "no rush" sort of a question, I've grown curious about the links to other b.org posts...

If you just copy and paste the link from your browser's address box, does the board generate the link text on its own? You know, that whole "[JohnQPoster] 'Appropriate Thread Name' date/time stamp" format that I always see?

Or is everybody on the board just spectacularly anal in that one regard?

Yes.

Yes.

C'mon now. Anal? Here?
