I'm a master at creating programs that 'scrape' other people's sits (no comment), so I thought why not create a script that will 'scrape' the Vb, and convert it into static HTML?
If I do this each Sunday night (let's say), and then submit the first link to the big search engines, then it should generate some significant traffic eh?
If you want to search static HTML on the web, there are plenty of search engines out there that can then re-index your whole static HTML and provide you with search results.
As for the folks out there who don't like Static HTML - BooHA! Static HTML is the fastest thing out there - it takes miliseconds to dish out a static page, and a lot more overhead to pull a page out of MySQL (including a call to PHP). I wish that there was a Vb option to create Static HTML like they did with UBB 5 (the only thing you'd lose is "current time").
Anyways, I know nothing about PHP, but I am an expert at Perl, (or so I think), so I'll just write this little routine in Perl, and post it here in the next few days.
