Well as always the EA team has done it again.

Now it is up to the FAQ committee to get rolling on things :) I know I sure look forward to contributing even more than I have been. I love ❤️ this place and plan on helping it thrive (at least better than my 🌹 rose plant :tongueout).

The search box lets you search keywords for various FAQs. Go to the search and search on 'boyfriend'

Hmmm, sense I was the one that originally posted that we need a FAQs and several have joined in :) I think the best place to start is a charter of sorts, It will lay down the ground rules of what our objectives are and how we might go about it.

I chatted with LuvPain earlier this evening about this and I think the next step is for me to get busy. I will notify the other three members and let them look at it and rip apart what I have written and then we will have a document that can be presented to Bboy and the rest of the staff.

When that is all approved, we can get started.

We do, but at that time PERL was the only option for us. After spending several months of programming up the indexes, converting the stories, and such, PHP came on board. We then spent several more months converting everything we wrote in PERL to PHP. That is after we learned PHP.

Now PHP is all we use here at the Archive and I highly recommend it. It is free and therefore most web hosts have installed it along with the mySql database. The two combined make for one powerful web interface.

All that started over a 166 that was too full and needed to retire to some sludge vat.
