Hey, here's an idea for a really cool feature to add (if it doesn't already existt). Let's say I want to gather together every post Mephi's ever made, print 'em out, and keep 'em to read. Wouldn't it be cool to be able to search those posts and call 'em all up? Is that doable?

That would kill a lot of trees.

Funny.

All things are possible. In this case, possible but not actualized.

I could do a custom query for you and dump it to a CD. It's gonna be big!

You want every thread that Mephi's ever posted on?! Or only his posts?

Hmmm...

I hadn't thought about this before seriously...but...

Well, heck. If it can be done...

I think it may be helpful for some upcoming projects that I'm going to be work on. Could you really be able to get a bunch of my posts together? I'd be happy with whatever is EASIER for you to do.

Could I get a CD like what you are talking about? I'd do or pay whatever.

I was just kidding. Namaste might want it, yeah, for his studies.

I want MORE.

I want a CD with the entire history of the board on it with searchable features!

It's possible. But there were some objections when we talked about it last.

I think we were talking about it when the former board was coming to a hault and before Corey steped in to host us. If it came to a permanent end, some of us wanted a copy of all that had been done (for research purposes).

Well, I'll put it like this, Corey. I'd accept whatever you would be willing to cook up for us, man. I wouldn't want to put any strain on your life or anything. (See my "F" coming out? blush

)

But it would be great to have something like that.

The search index on this site that I rewrote really will be faster than scanning a huge text file. If the search isn't getting you the results you need, first I'll try to adapt that. If that doesn't work, I can dump it to disk, but it will be pretty clumsy for you to work with, I expect.

I voiced some -- mainly in protection of DLW who was WAY too vocal for his professional good.
