Yeah, both FF2 and FF3 use MySQL Lite on their back end. It's nice and nifty and really fast.

Generally, I prefer to serve all images through a web script such as PHP or Python. It allows for a lot of neat things such as tracking which images have the most views, referrer requests, unique views, and even restrictive access to the image on a user scale. htaccess isn't flexible enough to do all that. 

or rather than the same ol' D&D puns you could call it a "Perception Check" and make fun of Warhammer for once. 

How.... how are the bubbles not just going quickly to the surface... I... I don't get it. 

Databits, of course, is also too damn busy to take up any other projects at the time too. 

Or, the third option that dragyn didn't mention, is you could hire a professional to make it, though depending on what the goal is that could be more costly than a friend, especially for a comic site.

That's only true if they are hosting their DNS through Xepher for their domain name (I wasn't referring to the *.xepher.net domains).

Like with my domain I host my DNS records elsewhere, so I'm able to define specific details on what points to what. I noticed the thing with the www sub-domain going to the main xepher page so change that to a cname record instead of an a record. It also allows me to point the other sub-domains to other servers (like I do with the images and guides sub-domains).

Alternatively you could change your DNS setting to point all sub-domains, including the www one, to a cname of your primary domain. This would accomplish the task you are aiming for.

That's just plain wacky. It's cool and all, but wacky.

Yeah that seems like a great idea. Try to withdraw from a country which declared war on Iraq without real cause? Good luck.

Basically, it's called a content dispatcher. Which is incorrectly called at times, a model view controller (most claimed "MVC's" aren't really MVC's).

It's actually a rather useful method because it allows you to custom process everything, including images, videos, music, and the like. In addition, when combining this method with customizing your webserver config (either in the direct server config or the .htaccess override), you can do things like only running through your processing script if the real file doesn't actually exist/

OMG! This is so on my todo list now!

Or you can do a third option where you direct ALL of the requests for your site through a single script which internally outputs what it needs to after parsing the information out.

Using <?=$var?> is a totally valid and widely used php variable output method. If it doesn't work your php installation needs to be configured correctly Xeph.

Actually, cell shading is a tad more complex than just texturing. Only newer video cards have actual built in support for it well enough for it to be effective.
