in reply to AJAX-based Perlmonks.com?

The most apparent con is that it would make the site depend on Javascript, something the text browser I regularly use doesn't understand.

perlmonks.com AJAX based is fine with me, but please don't touch perlmonks.org in a similar fashion :)

Update: I am aware that .com and .org are the same site, but I always use .org because of the cookie, so I wouldn't mind if .com were to be used for a different, for example AJAX based, site :)

    For the record (and in case others are confused), (www)?perlmonks.(com|org|net) are all the same site.

    C.

      But I'd think it'd be possible to make the code that operates the perlmonks.* web site do one set of behaviors if it's perlmonks.org, and another set if it's perlmonks.com, and another set if it's perlmonks.net. I'm not saying that's a GREAT idea, I'm just saying it's possible.

        It is possible, for sure. As everything else, hard to build on Everything, but certainly possible.

        I'm not saying that's a GREAT idea, I'm just saying it's possible.

        Just for the record: it'd be a BAD idea. But since I never visit the .com or .net sites, I wouldn't care :)
