Help/doc (previously "resources") now has it's own base subdir,
called simply "Info".  But it should be descriptive article
collections, not merely a bunch of links.

I already got the rough sitemap plan here... The outermost
categories are as follows:

  QuikChat, Forums (IRC, Lists, Usenet, Webrings, WWWboard),
  News, ForSale, Info (Finding, Refs, Ware (Hard, Soft, Brain)),
  Links, Polls, Members, Services (NMT, WRR, Dyna, FFA-L/C,
  vGirls ;-), Sponsors, Goodies, About, Help, Search (most
  likely remote SEs).

Anything more to add? ;-)

Are you sure submitters will even obey categories? ;-)
Probably would be better if categories are treated internally
as search tag only...  But then, speed might be compromised...

If only I could come up with some sort of pseudo-cron..  Then
auto-reindexing (incl. purging dead links, etc) won't slowing
down visitor's access speed...  (don't ask me to do that
manually, that's really out of question thanks to my country's
monopolized telco and low wages combined...)

Why after used?  Why not *when* added?  Hmm.. perhaps some sort
of linked list would do this just fine? ;-)

That's easy I suppose...  Newer links on the first page?

Doable, but might need lots of disk space just for the indexes...
And that's a premium at VA ("only" 20 MB max)...  Well.. Perhaps
remote searches could help...  Or (again) if cron possible, then
a bot can comparing each links very slowly for duplicates...

Are you sure? ;-)  Intresting... I don't think people buying
games just to test them..  Or aren't they? ;-)  Except if the
games are next to free, or you happen to be another beta tester
off course <g>  Teehee... thats reminds me of those beta-ver IF
games... :)  It's almost IFComp 2000 now...  Anyone up to
create more? ;-)

Meanwhile, today I just received last month's access stats from
Carmen.  SurvPC home has suffered from almost 900 page views in
less than a month!  And that's for a single-page site!  What if
it become multiple pages?  As a webmaster, that might something
to be proud of.. But as a newbie Perl programmer, its frighten
me a bit... Could the system keep up the pace?
