Howdy,
First of all. . . these new boards rock. They rock so much that it seems a shame that we have to taint their coolness by allowing the old boards to exist at all.
That being said, however. . .
Any link on the old boards that points to any other post on the old boards is now broken. They are absolute links. . . so they didn't survive the change in the old board's URL.
Because the new boards are located at root/mwf/, can't the archive/old boards be moved back to their original location? (root/cgi-bin/)
I mentioned this before any of the moving was done. But I'm sure you guys are overwhelmed by feedback and problems.
I wonder if perhaps a "virtual directory"-type pointer might also be used to fix the problem.
Or, hell, just tear down the old stuff. I used to think they'd be cool to have. . . but now I'm not so sure. The old stuff sorta detracts from the coolness of the new. IMHO.
Thanks!
