New boards, or just old ones in disguise?
Sorry, there just old ones, but normally they use custom dysplay scripts. Appending question mark ('?') to the end of the URL forces them to show up in the standard format, organized by date of last post, rather than by date of original post. That found some little gems by Avatara on Cythera chrons Posted Image

What do you think?

Update - in order to view more than the default of twenty days of posts, you must sneak '?' in before 'DaysPrune=2000' or whatever. Highly important, '?' placed after DaysPrune will be ineffectual.

Hmm, no, I discovered this by acedent, after voting for best mod on the EV boards - I decided it was a toss up between EVula and Jude, and tried to vote for them both. I couldn't, I guess you are allowed only one vote... Anyway, when the page reloaded, it came up like a normal board insteed of a newswire, which it was... so I looked for what the difrence in URLs was, then found it, then used it to see the EV Gallery in a whole new way...

Yeah, I figured you'd stoop low enough to hit Avara's chronicles as well. The 'gems'/'arguements'/(homework?) on Ares' was no big secret, but couldn't you have let Avara rest in peace?

Just a note: I dared bend the rules once like that on Avara, that was over 18 months ago and the rebuke from Taz! still stings...be wary of what you do there.

Its a warning: Taz! has a really nasty bite if you get on his bad side. He's not as relenting as Slayer and I am when it comes to performing foolish actions.

Captain Tripps speaks for me as well, why would Taz! be mad?

Oh, the 'If your reading this...' thing. I was trying to test to see if anyone came by and still read avara chrons. Strictly a demographic thing. In retrospect, I should not have used my good account.

Neat trick. But is there a practical use in it? Hmm...

Trick' is exactly what it is, no practical value is implied.
