TarBoard is a threaded discussion board
- the posts appear on TarBoard displayed in their various threads, starting with the originating, thread starting, "New Post"
I have a link called 'Tar Text' which gets me to the listed posts as they appear.
these are the most recent posts to TarBoard as they appear, de-threaded.
TarText is linked from TarBoard as "Most Recent Messages "
The interesting thing is that the TarBoard list of posts changes the order!
Tartext just displays the last few posts received - it is un-ordered by thread.
I assume ... that there is a TarBoard Committee of some sort of people who combine to manage all this for the benefit of us all
you assume incorrectly - structurally / editorially "all this" just rolls along, poked very occasionally by myself with a stick.
There are only very basic edit tools for TarBoard and no real tools for TarText ( as it was an afterthought and something of a kludge to the original Perl script), so if threads are edited out TarText tends to just get wiped.
The "disclaimer, terms, conditions and stuff" of TarBoard :-
#9 - What little moderation/file deletion that I consider necessary or occurs will: be carried out asap.; should not be construed as an insult or personal condemnation; may well be the result of a glitch; will not be announced; and, as a rule, no discussion will be entered into. I have little time for such moderating and even less time for bickering.
