lessonizing script you had? (that allowed you to show "just the links, m'am" on PAMS type joints?
given that as a starting point, i guess it wasn't too hard for you, in terms of, follow the url to the OP, strip out all the replies by 15, use them to create the array of tags, then i imagine you prolly pulled the individual replies out of the OP and put them somewhere as xml on your own server for easy retrieval. voila.
but all of that is way easier said than done.
this is crazy, though.
onliest thing you could do is link back (from your parsed out copies of ?uest's replies) to the original poast so that, if they wanted, folks could hop over there to add they lulz and whatnot. but that's really not necessary.
this is a great reader.
the other thing you could do which would be hot would be to change the cell shading or text color based upon a timestamp date. i imagine you crawl the poast to catch any new updates. so that way, someone could look at this page, and see something in orange, and know that that's the equivalent of DJ CLUE screamin in they ears.
and the reason for the timestamp is so if somebody ain't check the poast in a hot minute, they can just select the date, and you do a compare, and anything past 3/05/09 would get the NEW SHIT!!! treatment.
don't know if you saved the original timestamp info when you made your copy (granted, i'm assuming you made copies of the replies), but its something you could easily do going forward. and, knowing your capabilities, you could just as easily crawl the original poast again and tell it to get that info this time around when you repopulate the database, and be able to do it retro back to the very first post date.
very very well done.
peace & blessings,
