re: Does this board have a private message feature?

It's not that I didn't know he was fricking with me. I knew good and well all those other posters weren't lying. You can tell by the tone of they're post that they're just being helpful and that he was just trolling. I wasn't born yesterday, and I've been a long term member of one message board in particular that makes this place look 'G' rated and as tame as a pet rock. You name it, I've already seen it. There's nothing I've ever run across on TD that someone else hasn't tried on other sites. Motherfrickers think they're slick, but they're not reinventing wheel. It's all been done before somewhere else.

But I didn't start this topic to be fricked with. Y'all may think it's some kinda gas, but I don't appreciate it when I'm asking a serious question. That's just the way I am, and that's why I told the cocksmoker to stay the hell out of something that doesn't concern him. He couldn't hide he was full of shite, and my patience for that kind of stuff ended a long time ago.

But then, that's what punks do. They hide behind their keyboards and frick with people they wouldn't dare mess with on the streets. Pussies hiding behind a screen. That shite was played out about a half second after the first message board ever sprang to life.

Does not include posts made in IM Threads

This website is really just a publicly available database, held on a computer (server) somewhere else. There are tons of things that could be in this database that aren't visible to you.

To make this easier (since it's more familiar), let's think of an Excel spreadsheet: Picture a column for "username", "post", "board, "thread title", "replied to", "IPaddressOfPoster," "thread started (t/f)", "#postforposter." Each time you post, all this (again, an example of fields) information is filled in (though very little of it is actually publicly available).

Queries are run under particular circumstances, for instance: You can search "#postforposter" excluding "anything with GMT, LNST, or Lunch" in the title (you use regex to do this easily, but I'm not typing it up, as it's not particularly useful to the purpose of this exercise and would go entirely over your and most people's heads).

The query could be triggered to run every second, minute, hour, two hours, day, or each time a post is made (amongst others), giving a number for each poster kept in an "applied" database (if you will).

So, when you're logged in as you (assuming you have 30K posts), on the left side of the board, you get to see all of these boards + the regularly invisible Classics Board because the database says "PostsnotmadeinGMTLunchLNST>30000=True" and 'reveals' it to you.
