I'm a static fan. It keeps you on your toes - umm, Matt, I mean it keeps one on one's toes, not on yours - and is really no trouble at all.
But what happened to the sidebar?
And the "new comments"?

And is it true that the ticket stub forum is about to become the coolest and most bad-ass place to be once even Metatalk fills up with upstarts such as myself?

i think that the static page might be pretty good, matt. just a day or two ago, on slashdot there was an article by CmdrTaco that mentioned how he often uses a static page when the site gets hit pretty hard, because there rarely is a need for accessing the database live.

i know that, on metafilter, there is somewhat more of a need -- but it might keep your server alive for a year or two longer to simply use static pages. just a suggestion.

We use them as we're told. Can we help it if we're obedient?

Hey, I'm not a bad parent here, you're being a bad child. What? You're crying? Stop it! Don't you know your crying makes Daddy drink? Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about!
