(If it had, that'd be a technical error and a half!)
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
When we hit 500, we should have a party.

I have a question to the HTML-savvy, and I'm guessing this is where I should put it (and please let me know where to transfer it if not):
I was trying to link to a post on this board, and to white-font it. I copied the link of the post, and put it between <font color="white"> and </font> but it didn't create a link, only wrote the letters of the link. Like this:
When I tried to make it into a 'nice' link, using href (<a href="http://www.buffistas.org/showthread.php?thread_id=43&post_id=5235" target="_blank">blahblah</a>) inside the whitefont, it created the link, only it was visible - not whitefonted. Like this:
So, oh, wise Buffistas who have a vast hivemind that contains answers to all questions, including the questions themselves, what was I doing wrong this time?

Try putting the font tags inside the "nice" link like so: blahblah. t edit Hey it worked!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The way is <a href="http://www.buffistas.org/showthread.php?thread_id=43&post_id=5235" target="_blank"><font color="white">blahblah</font></a> since otherwise the formatting of the t a will override the t font .

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
