Wow, good work! I think this is also how he ends ND so there will be similarities. If I'm not mistaken, the idea is that traditional metaphysics has b...

Done: categories can now be selected on the search page. Plus you can run a search without entering a search term to get all the discussions in a cate...

Yep. I've done it already. :up: (not live yet)

The one big improvement I could make to the archive is to include the categories. For some reason Plush gave me an export without categories so I just...

I'm not migrating any posts to the new site, so the current compromise is fine. As far as I recall it's only me and @"hypericin" who ever cared anyway...

OK, I'll leave them. I've found a decent compromise, which is that they won't be indexed by search engines but anyone can visit those pages, given the...

The above issue alerted me to another one: the possibility of SEO penalization for duplicate content. So I've now blocked crawlers with meta tags, a r...

Google has already begun to index tpfarchive.com, no doubt because we've linked to it here. I forgot to remove the short stories. On the one hand they...

Wrong thread :roll:

Google has already begun to index tpfarchive.com. I forgot to remove the short stories. On the one hand they should be archived, on the other hand som...

British and Irish too.

No worries, it happens to us all. If I can add Scotland to your England, we have several great foods: Fish and chips Haggis neeps & tatties Scotch Pie...

Since Starbucks invaded, "muffin" often now refers to those quite tasty blueberry and chocolate things, with the result that even Brits now sometimes ...

I've learned never to underestimate the bread. Like pasta, it's more than a vehicle.

It goes deeper. I didn't really think you were being snarky, and felt, deeply, precisely what you have just explained. But now you have burst the bubb...

Sounds great. What kind of flatbread? I made a wrap yesterday. Fried chicken breast, shredded cabbage, cucumbers, a little tomato without the really w...

I've been thinking about this comment for about 30 seconds. I'm wondering if it's just a euphemism for "Your explanations are inadequate." As you can ...

Wherever you go, there you are.

At the risk of being inappropriately bathetic, I just quoted you, copied the text, in this case... ...then went to the Shoutbox and pasted it into the...

:up: I was more guilty than you, in point of fact of. We're in the Shoutbox now by the way.

Approach, I said. New topic if you like.

All very interesting but we've gone too far off-topic. Since this is an important topic I'd like to keep it pure.

Cool. I wonder though... Like an amalgam of everyone on TPF? Tempting though it is, my instinct is that the wider the range of data, the more it would...

I vaguely recall we were warned about this around 1818. Something to do with an unconventional Swiss scientist.

I notice you didn't wait for an answer and just went ahead and did it. So preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn't stop for more than a m...

I think the alternatives (NodeBB, XenForo, etc) would have enabled us to accommodate the laws. I chose Discourse over and above that requirement becau...

No, any images that survive in the archive will be those hosted externally. Images uploaded to this site will not be in the archive. And I can't resto...

Yes, the script I write will achieve the same thing. :up: I'll be using JavaScript or Python, and I won't have much control over the web server redire...

My own googling tells me that although the lichen itself doesn't harm the tree, it can be a symptom of stress, over- or under-watering or something.

Yep. Well I've already created it, and it doesn't use a framework. It's just HTML, Javascript and JSON, and CSS. The build is done locally by running ...

Yeah, I was just thinking about that. The comment URLs on this site don't contain the dicussion IDs, so I can't just use a basic mapping. But I don't ...

If your bookmarks are of URLs such as... https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/1026204 (the share link for your last comment) ... then I c...

No no, I'm sure it's brilliant. Let me see if I understand. The stored goods represent the content of TPF, which we can store independently of its use...

Some of you might be wondering about redirects. Probably this is the best way: 1. All discussion URLs, i.e., all links to specific discussions/threads...

This website, the one we're on right now, will not deteriorate---it will be completely closed early next year. The content, however, will live on, hos...

Thanks Bret! TPF: Curious and wonderful since 2015. In fact, this site is a kind of continuation of forums.philosophyforums.com, which started probabl...

I don't know what you mean.

The new site should be good too.

Well I was only talking about the archive site, where it's less critical.

:up: It's a little too slow from where I am. Maybe I'll paginate the results on the "your posts" page (you can get them all in a single file in the do...

But you can have a look at the archive site, built on a data export from a few days ago. https://tpfarchive.com

I had the temporary URL of the new site showing here for a moment there but I was forgetting that since the legal stuff isn't in place I can't approve...

You should get the Nobel prize for literature for that.

Fine, carry on.

I meant that I'm not on board with your rhetoric. Anyway I only came in here to shed some light on the political leanings of TPF. In any case, the con...

I don't agree with any of this, and I'm very left.

On the staff we have between 2 and 2.5 Marxists, 2 left-liberals, and 2 conservatives. I guess that's more left than right.

I think the joke would be better if it was only the third hunter who was a statistician.

But mocking statisticians is mean.

The third was the average of the first two, in their statistician minds. EDIT: In other words, the first two shots equated to a shot on target, when a...
