Nest is deleting all links to this board

[tmonoxide]

They're around for that, but not the bullshit with spammers and certainly not to restore what information was lost when they made this fantastical conversion.

[broc]

Of course they are. The people in charge of forum monitoring sure as shit aren't in charge of backup recovery.

[motzie]

It's a ghost town over there. I love it. All the last replies are always 8 hours ago, 1 day ago, etc.

[bullygirl979]

I posted one on SO 6 days ago and it is still there. Maybe the puppy avatar pic makes me look innocent.

[statlerwaldorf]

Womet had a good idea by putting it through tiny url and putting it in her siggy.

[Muddled]

They have been since day one. It's just taken them a while to make it all the way to TIP, I think.

Anything interesting going on over there?

[tmonoxide]

There's a real intesting post on S&R. Kid is 20 years old ready to marry and the guy won't ante up oral sex.

He sure doesn't mind being on the receiving end.

The replies: "OH don't throw away your engagement over this..."

It amazes me how little these kids know --- btw she's been with him for 3 years.

I have the link under my sig. but no one will know what it is

[smock]

Yeah I love the idea of using tinyurl and putting it in our sigs. It would probably take a while for them to notice. We could also tie the link to a picture--like one that says "CLICK HERE!" Anyone wanna write out the code to put something like that in our sigs?

[Chirp]

I just put a link to the GBCN home page in my siggy. I didn't have the coding to make it a link or anything, so it's just text.

I'd like to see the nest go through and delete every.single.post I've ever made. Since, ya know... any current siggy/avatar/ticker changes are applied to every post you've ever made. ;D

If anyone has the code to make a fancy "Click Here!" hyperlink that'd be sweet.

[Deleted]

Someone please tell me why the following code isn't making the image go to this board. I suspect it's the "board = tip" thing. The = is a common UBB tag element... Boo.
[url=http://pandce.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=tip][img]http://i1077.photobucket.com/albums/w465/gbcntip/Help-by-LiminalMike.jpg[/img][/url]

Anyway, code for that image that links to the GBCN front boards is:

They've actually always deleted posts to competing boards more effectively than they've dealt w/ spam.

I bookmarked it on my home computer because I keep loosing the linkage.

I bet that's not the only area where he displays his selfishness.

[smock]

Fein, you're a genius! I'm testing putting that in my sig to see if we need special html thingies for tn, but it's taking a million years to load pages over there. Go GBCN!

[Deleted]

If you need HTML I think it would be

<a href =http://pandce.proboards.com/index.cgi#general><img="http://i1077.photobucket.com/albums/w465/gbcntip/Help-by-LiminalMike.jpg></a>

But check me, because I haven't done it in forever.

[Deleted]

That's it, I had the wrong tag on the end, use the thing I just posted that ends in "/a"

[smock]

Yeah I just fiddled and this works:
<a href="http://pandce.proboards.com/index.cgi#general" target="_blank">
<img src="http://i1077.photobucket.com/albums/w465/gbcntip/Help-by-LiminalMike.jpg" />
</a>

[smock]

Also, should we publicize the code so that other people can add it to their sigs? I could maybe ask on the mod board to make a global post about it, or is that too much?

[Muddled]

Share away, Smock. I think it's a great idea.

FYI--I saw your post on SO and there wasn't a siggy. I linked to the boards but wanted to let you know.

[Muddled]

I guess it's easy enough to delete a siggy. We are going to have to make a bunch of aes or something that spam the boards on a regular basis and let them get banned.

[Deleted]

I tried to update my siggy on TN with the link / image too and it's not updating. I'm betting their servers aren't updating correctly.

[Muddled]

I bet they have someone lurking here. How could you not?

[Muddled]

Srs- I see your siggy on TNTIP.

OMG. You mean the call is coming from INSIDE the house?!?!?

Like deleting links to proboards is going to keep people on TN. Sure it will.

[Deleted]

I think we need to make a proboards spin off board to discuss how we're going to link people to proboards.

Many layers.

[smock]

I made a post on the mods board with the info, and asked what they thought about putting the code in a global sticky for people who want it.

[gbck]

Honestly, the killed theknot boards at different points--almost as dead as 'thenest' is now...and they just waited for refugees from other boards/spinoffs to fill them back up again--and it worked.

But the internet is 'bigger' and there are more competitors now.
