Topic: Did you know that...

-When you click the date of a FAQ in the changes, you will be shown what changed in it since the last edit?
-when you click the title in an inmate's cell, you get a list of their most recent posts?

sweet =)

-linkwords also work for some remote sites (like c2->WelcomeVisitors or php->unlink() ). Feel free to suggest other sites (needed: url and they must have an url scheme deducable from the linkword).
-[ id ] links also display a nice little icon to what they link. Like Did you know that...
-the ->adminLog tells you who locked a thread (and often tells you why, as well)
-any inmate can add an abstract and a description to threads via preserve (these will be used in the search)
-the asylum's database is only about 250 mb in size.
-the grail automatically moves threads that haven't been active in 45 days to the sink or their appropriate archive, if they have a keyword assigned (psychotics and Mad scientists only).

Once we get things a bit more on track at the GN, I think it would be a good candidate for external linkwords.

^I second that.

Very cool. The FAQ icon is still a bit unwieldly, but what the hey. Also, I noticed the edit stamps in the FAQ use this code to link to our cells: [ internallink=3721]ozphactor[ /internallink]. Couldn't that be shortened down to [ 3721]? The appearance is exactly the same, and it shaves off 28 characters plus the length of the inmate's username.

About how much time or how much space must be used up before the oldest threads in the Sink are deleted forever?

This isn't a factor - threads in the sink *could* stay there for ever, there's no automatism to delete them.
But there is a drive among the MS to clean it up, preserving what's valuable, and deleting the rest.
(now, all I need is some time to actually implement the delete feature ;-)).

Not sure how many of you use Wikipedia, but I've found plenty of quality info in there. Just hit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/whatever.
