I mean, I would if I could, but I can't. But someone else can. If I were he, I would look into the matter. Thank you, and good night.

Yeah, it's annoying. What's even more annoying is that I can't find the old word association thread.

maybe it got lost. or maybe He deleted it. it was too long anyway. you should take the one you're using now and move it to a brand new thread. but yea, the search problem is frustrating.

I think He might have, because some of the old word associating threads are gone too. However, it disappeared at a wierd time. And the Caspar thread was much longer, and it's still here.

mark, you bastard. put it back!

I could fix the search thing. Actually I've been thinking of writing my own message board software, partially because of the search thing. Any suggestions for good search features would be helpful, or any other features for that matte

matter

It would be good if it could help me find a bloke and I'd also like to know what happenened to my other red patent high heeled sandal (the one with the little black swirly things).

I assume mark wrote this himself? quality. although something a bit more UBB-ish would be nice also, this design is great. I think the search thing works fine. I just want to be able to post from a win-ce 1.0 machine...it doesn't let me because it thinks I'm trying to make a whole new topic or something and asks for a proper username/password combo...ihateschool

I would assume nothing. Except that Mark probably has my red sandal and is wearing it while he uses the Word Association thread for his own evil ends. Bastardo.

The search engine would be nice if it worked, but I never have seen it work, so I live without it. Other then that, I love the whole friggin site, it acctually occupies more of my time than anything else in my life right now, so I have to appreciate it.

I think the message board format totally rocks. It's the best format for a BBS I've ever seen. Ok. Enough praising Mark. I should go down to NY one of these days and see if I can meet Him.

try this. it's freeware, and it craps out once in a while, but it seems to work better than the old one. someday i'll find or make a better one. until then, everyone gets a full refund.

whoohooo! Full refunds... Wait a minute........

Sweet. Thanks, Sorabji-God.

he's so nice. i would have told all you whiny bitches to get you own search engine

Thank you, Mark.

We all tend to forget Mark, which is probably how he likes it. But we can be an ungrateful mob. Maybe we should all send him offerings (not live animals though). What about we all send him a pair of socks? Or a hankerchief?

yeah! that's great!!! i wonder what he would like the most....... obscure brautigan novels?

It has to be all the same thing though. So it is kind of like a collection. I doubt he wears ties. Underwear could be good though. And socks has possibilities. Though hankerchiefs would allow us to be creative, and it's fairly cheap for the Sorabjites who are skint. We need a vote. Socks....Underwear....Hankerchiefs....????

hankies.

Are you kidding? Underwear. Somebody must have another pair of those elephant-nose thong skivvies. right?

socks

Those rainbow-colored socks with toes.

How about...art? Writing, painting, small sculpture..whatever...

Well you could make the hankerchiefs into art. The socks could also be a canvas to spurt creative juices onto. Tho if we all just covered a postcard with some form of art, Mark could put them all together into a kinda collage. Oh, I hate trying to decide on presents.

I think we should do mailart for Mark.

I think we should send him "our" underwear.

J!!! you are BRILLIANT!!! yes! let's all send him our underwear!!! ha!

mark showed me sarah's underwear last time i was over at his place... so it's already been done. i think you should send him used tampons instead.

that's what i'm going to send him. bastard.

toothbrushes. He could be like that guy from Universal Soldier with all the ears, cept He wouldnt have ears He'd have toothbrushes. that was that movie ay? it was one of those boy movies that you get dragged along to.

But that leaves some of us out...the men, the women who don't bleed...

We have to BLEED on the toothbrush? God, this life gets worse and worse.

bloody toothbrush hell. let's get gingivitis!

I was commenting on the TAMPON post, as you damn well know. I liked my art idea. Something nice for him to get in the mail, instead of a large package of used toothbrushes.

He did something nice for me,so I know what I'm going to send him.Something important to me.Feathers.All kinds,sizes and shapes,brilliantly colored,rich textures.They'll look great with J's panties. Thanks again,Mark [Cz]

Test

While Mark's at it, he could set the time on his server ahead 3 minutes. Checked it out with the NIST atomic clock, he's behind 3 or 4 minutes.

Thong underwear=ass floss,there is a connection here.

Yes. I've noticed that no matter how often I change the time on my computer to match his, it's always a minute off. What's up with that?

When you post, the time is from his server, not from the time on your computer.

Yes, I know. What I'm saying is that I tried to make my computer agree with the time his server has, and I can never get the two to agree. Capiche?

I could send my hankie. I have a raging cold right now, so it's well broken-in.

Bleh. I don't want to be awake at 2:30. Sick as a dog. if the dog had the head-cold from HELL. ah, well. Guess I'll call one Joyce Stewart of Wever, Iowa now. Congratulation, Ms. Stewart. You've just one a month's supply of free used hankies! No! don't thank me now! I just need all your pennies, if that's okie-dokie?

Indeed.

OK. I was trying to write a simple search engine, but decided not to bother since it's already been written. So I just indexed the boards with a freeware search engine. Give it a try. I haven't really used it much, but it seems to work OK. It's not highly sophisticated. I just spent a half hour typing in random words and this uncovered all kinds of crazy shit. If this gets a thumbs up, I'll set it so that it indexes these pages at some set interval, like once or twice a week. At some point I want to move the boards to a new server and a new domain: 0-8--df80zqy-0-o-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-i-888-huhsp0-9sghasdmc---u4.com. Or maybe I'll just move them to sorabji.com. Here is info on how the search queries work (paraphrased from the programmer's documentation): Keywords should be written with commas or spaces between them. The case is not important. The search type "AND" means that the search engine will find files which contain ALL keywords. The search type "OR" means that the search engine will find all files which contain at least one keyword. In any search regime mark "+" before keyword means that this keyword should be in returned pages. In order to exclude word from results type "-" before keyword, for example "+perl -CGI". By default script will return any files where it finds the keywords. For example, if you ask "port", the search engine will find all pages with words "port", "important", "portrait", "sport", "report" and so on. If you wish to find exact word, put exclamation mark after keyword: "port!".

thank you sorabji

That's awesome Mark.

You are my hero.

love ya Mark. and i love the new first page layout too, you magnificent bastard. i think i spelled that wrong. fuck off. love you!!!

i hope you're not searching against it now, because i'm updating the index right now... so nothing works for a few minutes

ok, now it works again

Yippee Skippee!!!!!!!!!! It works! "And all could now rest well in Sorabjiland, as an awe inspired hush, moved slowly amongst the inhabitants, and peace and contentment came home to roost".

rockage. I need a nap now.

Snotfucker. It's sadly underused on these boards. But maybe if someone ever searches for it, they'll find me. Hello. Here's your snotfucker, right here. *smooch*

sweet mark. the night chelsea and i made the bbs connection we were commenting about how you just have the best damn board layouts evaaah'. no seriously. you were a topic for a good fifteen minutes.

i haven't used it yet... but thanks mark!

yeah,...right,...whatever.

Lick the snot-end of my fuckstick, you puke! LS

your fuckstick snots? there are professionals for that sort of ailment.
