@deafhobbit asked:

do you know if we'll be able to log in to cohost once it is set to read only?

I've seen lots of people saying mutuals can find their contact info from their profile links. would be nice to know if that will still work once the Posting ends.

yeah. PREVIEW OF HOW WE ARE IMPLEMENTING READ ONLY MODE:

we’ve had a “permission” setup for a while that set your account to read only. it was used to put users in timeout when they weren’t doing anything bad enough for a ban but still needed to chill for a bit.

we’re currently doing an audit to ensure that nothing can slip through this permission. on october 1, we will bulk assign it to all users.

all site functionality that doesn’t involve changing or creating things will remain.

ADDITIONALLY: the data exports include a “find your friends” page which is a unified set of profile contact links for everyone you followed. we want to make that part easy.

Bro I've been spending the past few days going insane looking at a Google spreadsheet like Sisyphus looking at his boulder.

I could cry, thank you @staff for doing that. You didn't have to but you're doing it and that's why I'll always be a friend of eggbug.

ANYWAY MAKE USE OF PROFILE LINKS Y'ALL. IT'S LITERALLY FREE REAL ESTATE!!!

Addendum from @plumpan about not wanting that info to be publicly available in the archives

Go to your profile page, then click "edit profile"

Scroll down to the "profile links" section

Fill them out, and set them to "visible to logged-in users" as such. Per this comment, after the site goes read-only, users can still log in and view them (and get them from their data exports), but non logged in users and stuff like archive dot org should not include them. This means they (cohost users) can still get this info after the site goes read-only.

If someone makes one with cohost-dl and their own login cookie, it will, but that's just how that works since it's acting like the user is logged in directly.

The important part

Scroll back up and save the changes!

At last, a measure of peace now that the clown he had allied himself with had departed. A moment to himself to contemplate.

The plan was simple enough. This Fandaniel would kidnap one of the “Warriors of Light”, and Zenos would steal their body. While his dear friend was so desperately trying to catch up, Zenos would use the disguise to get in close with the Warriors’ friends and kill them. His friends, his partners in the thrill of combat, would have no choice but to seek him out for his long awaited duel.

Ah, but which of the five Warriors should they kidnap? It would need to be one whose short absence would not necessarily raise suspicion, one who he could easily pretend to be until the time is right for the hunt to begin.

The Miqo’te was always eager to do “good” for others. It made the bile rise in his throat. No, she would not do. He could not bring himself to pretend to be her for even a second.

That Xbr’aali was not much better. While her love of the hunt was apparent and appealing, she was far too outgoing. No matter how hard he tried, he would be caught immediately.

The Lalafell? Stern and protective, quick to anger. It would weaken the “heroes” immensely were he to be Zenos’ target, making the rest of the plan much easier. Ah, but that emotionality… far too much effort.

Perhaps the Hyur? Reserved, less driven to emotional impulse than the others, much better than the others. And yet, he still wore his heart on his sleeve and his “caring for others” was ever apparent.

Oh, but of course. The Viera. The most stoic of the five. Always off in the corner, never opening up. He had seen it in all of their encounters. Not a single emotion allowed to leak out. They were perfect. None of them would be all too surprised should the Viera vanish for a short time, and maintaining the disguise until the time was right would be trivial.

Soon, the plan could begin.
