    I think this is a good idea, but part of the reason for doing so is to easily enable participation by somebody who has followed a link placed on Facebook. The two go hand in hand as a user recruitment tool.

    Of course. See, here's something that might ease people's minds: https://github.com/patrickheck/socialshareprivacy

    Lets users turn those buttons on and off. Here is a Google translated (=funny) site explaining the system.

    This is how it looks on the site (right under the logo): http://www.heise.de/tp/artikel/40/40004/1.html Click once - connection is made. Click twice, works as advertised.

    If it is found that cookies are placed - can we ditch the button?

    Fuck me running. If I'd known getting a life for a few weeks would have resulted in everything changing, I'd have done this years ago.

    Hilariously, on the test board, literally the only thing I can access is the AdminCP. No permission to view the board otherwise. Think I'll fix that, since I have access to the ACP...

    Apparently, the key to get things changed around here is O2C getting a life :bergman:

    Did you get laid, at least? :diacanu:

    Was that writer the guy who joined a couple years ago? Always wondered what happened to him.

    I say go for broke and expose the old hag. She needs a beating.

    Some guy Bear knew.

    I never knew garamet killed him.

    It was probably retribution for Tamar killing Eccentric.

    I didn't "kill Eccentric". :lol:

    Whoever posted his private pictures probably did that...and it wasn't me!

    Meka was the most hilarious clusterfuck of a drama. :rotfl: Too bad it got lost during the last purge.

    Volpone is referring to a rather embarrassing photo of Ecc's that got out with him h9lding a sign that said "take me." :lol: It didn't help that he had anime posters plastered all over his wall. Compared to that, Captain X looks like a stud. :rotfl:

    There's no denial that Eccentric and writer-guy are dead, so I'm getting closer on this thing.

    If you get too close however you might be the victim of a "random" mugging and get shot in the face. :calli:

    I believe the correct term is 'Banned with Extreme Prejudice.'

    Eccentric is still around as a lurker, too, so maybe crippled is the correct metaphor?

    Or leave them hanging as the ephemera they are and hope no one else notices.
