I've heard some wishes for a Chatterbox Archive so, I slightly modified [ZZamboni]'s PerlMonksChat.pm ( There are plenty of people who probably could do it better, but I didn't see anyone doing it and tried my hand at it )to also write to a file.  I'm going to wrap the text in some HTML so it's more presentable and get it to split up the logs by day ( these files will probably be large ), where you could access Archive08242000.html and view the 24th's Chatterbox archive.  Anyway, my problem is that I am behind a firewall so I can't run it on any of the servers here.  If someone has a server that isn't firewalled, and wouldn't mind running this as a background script and losing a modicum of space then we'd have an archive.  I have free webspace on Geocities, but I don't know how to write the CGI to update a file on it ( I'm just now learning CGI ).  If anyone can help, just reply here or send me a /msg in the chatterbox.  &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Thanks&lt;br&gt;
