Great. Thanks.Typhoon wrote:Done. In the Hell section.Azrael wrote:We should start a subforum for trashing stuff we hate. It would come in handy. For example, I could start a thread trashing Nickelback.
I don't remember, I'll have to look into it.Typhoon wrote:Certainly. Can you point me to the tab on the admin board where this is found?Enki wrote:Can you set it so that links open in another tab? I like that feature.
Yeah, so far so good. Trying to keep that "new forum smell."Typhoon wrote:It would be most appreciated if the posters would be so kind as to continue to take the forum rules into consideration when posting.Ibrahim wrote:1. Keep the moderation tight. The lack of it at the old forum was well-intentioned but eventually reduced the forum to unreadable lavender. But of course the creepy deletions, edits and bannings of ATOL were also a failure. Simply shunting threads/posts that ramble OT into unmoderated Hell should be sufficient.
Posters have so far done so, with the exception of a few incidents, and the mods are grateful for it.

All bots are permitted to index all forums.Sparky wrote:That sounds nasty, hacky and increasingly expensive to run on a regular basis as the forum grows.
It might be simpler to allow Googlebots to index all the forum topics, if currently disallowed, and use a
site:http://www.onthenatureofthings.net/ [whatever]
search in Google to find what you are after.
For an example of what that gives you, try pasting:
site:http://spengler.atimes.net/ penises
into Google. Five pages. Who knew, right?
Let me Google that for youAzariLoveIran wrote:all those features not ideal .. have always difficulty searching for specific subjects .. seems, search designed for single wordcrashtech wrote:.

in any case, IMO, a list of all thread (expandable to sub-threads) would be greatly helpful

If you create a poll thread, we can put it to a vote.Enki wrote:Can we change 'Reality' to 'History'? I thought about doing that at Diegetics.
This one is less of a change, okay.Enki wrote:Also, maybe Futurism should be put into Science/Technology/Futurism.

Or we could merge Reality and Futurism and call it something like "Past, Present, Future".Enki wrote:Can we change 'Reality' to 'History'? I thought about doing that at Diegetics.
