Thank you for all you are doing to help us .

I think I better bookmark this thread so I can refer to it in a blonde moment which I am apparently having right now.giggle.

I do thank you John , everything is looking so good here. I love it.

Oh great, we get to be last. What kind of anti-Semites run FR?

If you want us to not file a complaint with the ADL, move "Zion_ist" to the top of the list immediately. Or, on odd days, use reverse alphabetical order to show the list...

WHATEVER YOU DO, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T CLICK HERE

I am now ducking and running for cover from the barrage of flames that will be sent my way if anyone actually clicks on the link... (it's not a gross picture, it's worse, it's an article by SALON)

Thanks. Much better explanations than my feeble attempts.

Thanks, John! How about extending this "imaginary FReeper" concept to actually allowing someone from each bump_list to create a profile page, like you do for the semi-imaginary (!) Sidebar Moderator, where they could archive classic OLDER threads of importance to that "Special Interest Group" - since clicking on the bump_list itself will only recover threads less than about thirty days old?

:-) The new forum software my company is developing will do JUST THAT and more.

Also, the new way I'll be handling TO searches will allow indexing to the beginning of time.

Yes, I meant that warning for more sensitive members of FR who happen by.

I should hope a nurse would be able to stomach reading that sort of thing, I expect people in the medical profession to be able to do all sorts of things to me, including sawing/cutting me open and sewing me shut... things far worse than sticking a Q-tip into someone.

I did that for Zion_ist and it was deleted =)

Of course, the problem with that is that it leaves only a select few in charge of a bump list's "official" nature.

Also, bump lists die out after about a week, not a month, which makes archiving that much more imporant.

A suggestion: If you're going to archive posts for bump lists, do it in CHRONOLOGICAL, not alphabetical order.

One other small thing, John: "Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racist or violence posts."

That should probably be "NO racism or violence in post.s"

BTW, John, the problem I have seen with these flags is that replies only go back for about two days, so that is the extent you can search for "bang_list" etc, articles. I know it's probably to save memory, but it would be nice to be able to search the archive for replies, or let replies go back more than two or so days on your self search page.
