i am all for the use of email to the board, but most people don't have access to that. only dedicated servers and people like me who have a good web host that allows that type of stuff.
i think the people above are talking about how search engines can't index wwwthreads. but google and other search engines can now search thought ? , = & . the only reason for archiving old posts is that there is no need for a user to post or reply to the post and the post won't get much use. so why not take it out of the database and put it in html.
i was reading my creatonline, probably the greatest design magazine around. if you are near a magazine stand i recomend that you go buy this magazine. anyways, they were talking about how cool it would be if a user upploaded his/her own template. this would be cool, but kinda far fetched.
templates, templates, templates.....w3t is only lacking on that.
