"Before this gets purged"? I dare say that you will find enough time to post a lot of things until it gets purged in 3-4 years. It's not in the next prune, and they only come up once in two years or so.

You've moved it from #13 to #1. Isn't this like moving from Atlantis to the banks of the Nile, in terms of purges?

Oh well, here's to a fond memory. *toasts*

(Also, EV:N still rocks.)

1920?

And I thought the board was ancient and klutzy before. I really don't want to know in what format timestamps are stored to give that effect.

(The standard uses the number of seconds that have passed since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC. That is why errors will usually result in a data around then, +/- a few hours for timeshift).

UBB seems to use some kind of Great-Depression-era computing technology. Which shouldn't surprise us, now should it.

Edit: PPP got the topic. http://pied-piper.ermarian.net/topic/15/2882

Edit2: Spiderweb has got it, too:

http://www.ironycentral.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=002882

That's right. It's blanked in the index, but the topic itself is fine. Stat-file-rebuilding time, I'd say.

On that subject, there's a new feed. http://pied-piper.ermarian.net/feed/posts , with "/[forum]/[thread]" being an optional addition.

It's not quite as up-to-date as the old one at feeds.ermarian.net (it has to download more, and therefore does it more slowly and less often), but you should generally find posts appearing after an hour or less. Its advantage is that it has the entire post instead of the blurb found in "Today's Active Topics", and it will never "skip" posts when a topic is getting many posts in a short time.

Whatever it was, it's gone - I haven't yet seen an error in the last 5-6 page loads.

Edit: Yessir Mr. Murphy sir I'll shut up now.

Needless to say, the next 4 page loads after that failed. :rolleyes:

What are you talking about? :confused:

Edit: No really. The other boards are returning just as many timeouts, blanks and 500s as General.

I'm getting through on less than a fifth of all requests right now. The rest either show up blank or as a 500.

Took 4 tries to get this post through.

Um... isn't this a bit like giving out a survey with the question "Do you lie when answering surveys?"?

Ahem. I was elected. By 107% of the popular vote. Just ask Stareye. And anyone who disagrees can just bloody well get on the train to the secret prison. :P [/man-of-the-people]

IANAL, but shouldn't a "non-exclusive" qualifier be in both of those clauses?

Right now, it sounds almost like only Spiderweb is allowed to publish these derivatives. I know that this doesn't make sense in relation to the rest of the license, but I hear that stating and restating the obvious is the lawyer way...

I doubt that I am breaching moderatorial confidentiality by revealing that the banning periods are two weeks and under.

None of these people are exceptional morons (*cough*) and it is unlikely any of them will circumvent their ban and thus extend it to lifetime.

So we'll see them back very, very soon.
