Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dude, last time I tried that, half the internet went away.

Did you have an Actual!Car Crash, too?

There was Actual!Crash, just sans car.

DX, can you give me a yell as you archive more threads? I'm specifically thinking older Bitches, and maybe another Natter. I'd like to have the posts table as slim as reasonably possible.
And when you're done with your magic, if you could mark them archived in the thread maintenance -- I'm trying to streamline the process from my end too, and that'd help.

If I only had a brain...
I just did a Print Screen to prove ti. I went to the Message Center and neither the Bitch thread nor the Natter thread was included in the list.

Thanks for all the fish.
I mentioned this on the beta, but when you post something with bad HTML not only does it not post, but when you go to edit it's not there in the edit box either. I understand that bad HTML gets stripped, but so does all the text and it's a pain to have to completely retype instead of just fixing the HTML.

Elena, fixing bad HTML (as in malformed tags) is akin to mindreading. We have plans in the works to close unclosed tags, but malformed is a different kettle of fish.
Replacing an unrecognised tag with entities <> is certainly possible, but involves maintaining and checking against a complete list of every allowable HTML tag.
Which is processor intensive and will slow the site down.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I think what Elena would like is for the bad html to be stripped out when it's posted, but then reappear in the edit box if one clicks on "edit." Not sure how we'd do that, short of keeping two copies of every post -- one with the html stripped out, one kept as is. The former one would get posted; the latter would just sit in a table waiting for someone to click on "edit."
