The moratorium is lifted in a little over an hour (Midnight Mountain Time), but aspects of it will become a regular rule. Namely, that TVT bans, policies, and/or drama are forbidden topics.
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
Let's install the "Who's Online" plugin
I saw BTL had that feature and I thought it would be cool to have here
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
That sounds pretty useful. I'd like to see it, too.
That being said, whether or not it will stop me from compulsively saying "Good night" every time I'm done for the day remains to be seen.

On May 29 and May 30, Linode will have some planned downtime from 8PM-11PM MDT. The old version of the forum is going to be re-opened (mostly) and reset to its old color scheme in advance of this.
EDIT: Both days will have the downtime at the same time; I erroneously said it would be from 7PM-10PM MDT on May 30 due to an incorrect UTC/GMT conversion.

Just a thought, but...are there any other options for WYSIWYG editors? CLEditor doesn't seem to play well with Chromium, most of the time, even for a simple message like this one it tends to add a bunch of superfluous HTML, and god help you if you're trying to copy-paste something.
GOOD. GRAVY. I know it's more awful looking because all of the toolbars are on, but yeah, that's just way too busy. I'm sure there's a way to tone that down.

Just a thought, but: would it be possible to replace Vanilla's useless search box on each page with a custom Google search?
I've never really worked with Google Custom Search, so I'm not sure, but I'll see. Hopefully just using the search won't subject us to the same sort of crap TVT is going through with the ad servers...

Well, we're not depending on their ad revenue like TVT is, so even if there were issues we'd just be back where we are now...

It was based on a rule on IJBM2 that was added as a measure to keep there from being more Tnus and Chagens from showing up.
It might not need to be a rule as much as a piece of advice, really. We don't mean "don't attach any importance to the forum", we mean "don't get too dependent on it".
