Well, in fairness to loretta, the album (Fist City,1968) also has a song called *What kind of a girl (do you think i am?)
*

I didn’t join the SDMB to have people explain things clearly and reasonably. :eek:

For my money, I want an unsustainable position and a huge pile-on. :smack:

Wait, are we piling on Una, Slacker, or the subject of Loretta Lynn and fisting? This thread now lacks a clear direction!

No shit! Back in the day, there were always two or three pile-ons on the front page of the Pit. Even Lib’s return hasn’t helped much.

Now the Pit has become a pussified wasteland of lame RO crap, whiny pseudo-rants and tomndebb-esque reasonableness. WTF?

I have a question about vBulletin.
I am a paid member now, but when I click on it, it says I don’t have permission to use it.
Is there some waiting period, or am I just not holding my tongue correctly when I click on it?
Thanks.

Can’t tell if you’re joking or not… :eek:

If not, what’s “it?”

What, you thought they were mining real coal?

34

Sorry. “It” being the vBulletin (in blue) link.

35

Please ignore previous post. You cannot comprehend the level of my ignorance. I think I was trying to access something that only administrators can use.
This whole message board is intimidating to newbies like me. Sorry.
(For this, and my double post.)

A few things about the search engine friendly archive feature:

  • It’s for the benefit of search engines. Take a look at the SDMB’s robots.txt file; general search engines are kept out, so the point of using the archive is moot.

  • Even if Google, Yahoo and the like were allowed to spider their way through the SDMB, there’s a few reasons why you might not want people to find the SDMB through the archive. Ads aren’t on archive pages. A reader would need to take a few extra, not-so-obvious steps to join the board if they like what they see. Information about how to join the board. Some claim that duplicate content at different URLs has a “watering down” effect that hurts Google PagePank and potential ad revenue.

  • On the positive side, the archive is great for browsing the SDMB – really, any vBulletin-based forum – using a cell phone or PDA.
