and soon, access to a system-wide database where you can store pretty much anythingLike the Registry?
The system-wide database in OS X stores addresses, users on the network, and pretty much whatever you want to store. This will no doubt be used by PIM applications, IM clients, and of course, Apple's Address Book application. With this implementation, Apple has essentially centralized the organization of often accessed information.

Holy fuck! I've never seen that happen before. Poor thread!

Probably a bug in ikonboard. (My version number appears quite outdated, but I've applied so many patches and bugfixes that it really is quite recent) I'll go wander over to the iB forums and see if there's anything I can do.

Of course then you have InfoPop, running on some hyper-uber-advanced SQL Server, or Oracle, or some gigantasaurus thing like that, and they get missing threads all the time. "InfoBurps" they call them.
Hey, for a total cost of $0, in perpetuity, ikonboard isn't a bad little thing.

I'm actually rather fond of ib. I just find it amazing that someone actually bothered to write a complete bbs with Perl is all. Hate to Perl, y0.
I like it too. Especially seeing how ass some other sites are where you have to navigate one post at a time like the realworldtech forums.

I'm going out now for a post-Mother's day thingy, but later I'll work on getting some fixes applied. I want to fix the <code> tags again and try to get individual posts in their own table, so big pictures and non-wrapped text doesn't fux0r up the entire thread.

Oh, Like Active Directory then.
Only per Macintosh, rather than Per Enterprise? Typical Apple.

No...not like Active Directory either.

Apple's not catering to the Enterprise market, douche.
And WTF, what forums just eat threads? This sucks!

It sounds like Active directory, only per-machine, which is useless. Windows has an address book for ages, which is fully available through OLE automation, just like every other bit of Windows. Clients simply don't use it, and that's for the most commonly used OS on the planet. How likely are they to code apps against an address book of a very, very unsucessful operating system like OS X?
Not likely at all, I'll wager.
AD hardly gets used, and you can access entire enterprise systems through that, querying it like you would a SQL database.
So how about you explain why it isn't? I could do with a laugh.

The WTF is the XServe? A nice flat surface for Maclots to snort coke off of?

This is the first thread that has ever gotten "eaten" and I have no idea why. I'm still working on it.

I dunno, it's weird. There's a "Forum fixer" script but I'm afraid to run it, for fear it would fuck up things more. And it's not like the text can be revived, it's gone.

It's targeted at the 4 markets that Apple explicitly stated it is targeting.

The actual text in the thread file is gone, oblivionized. It might have been a hiccup when the board went to add fm's post, somehow it just saved the last page rather than the whole thread.
