Buffistas: dominating the world through asterisks.
It's for spacing. For the pretty.
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

They're a secret little design hack -- helps maintain the width of the main column at a persistent size. There's surely a more elegant way to do it, but think of the asterisks as our own site Easter Egg -- a nice surprise hidden away for you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
msbelle, it's possible for them to work separately, although bits of Rob's work may have to be redone if he finishes first. I'm setting up a test environment for tommyrot this weekend.

The asterisks were my idea. I think it was a Netscape 4.x issue that they helped fix.

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

Pretty sure you're right. I remember the two of us talking about it.
Also, just a reminder that we still don't have archives.buffistas.org working yet. I'm thinking that if it's going to be a while, I'll just update the page on the old archives site, and use that as the primary until we have a chance to figure out how to make the new site work properly.

What we need is to create an FTP account that's independent of a subdomain, since the current webadmin doesn't make subdomains subdirectories. And what we really just need is an FTP account pointing to the archives directory.
However, I'm not familiar enough with the FTP server to do that offhand.
Tom?

Why not temporarily forget the subdomain, and just use the archives subdirectory? I recognize the need for security, but DX ain't going to blow anything up.

Or, as I said in Bureau, DX could just email me new archives and I can upload them. It's a trivial amount of extra effort.
t edit Or if there's a bunch of them that would overwhelm email, post them on your server, and I can grab and upload.
