What is the *real* purpose of gardenbanter?

Making money for the webmaster.

Internet advertisers want to buy space on websites which lure large
audiences. Each occasion a person logs on to the website, is called
a
hit. The more hits a website records, the more it can charge to
advertisers. A website that acts as a portal to usenet groups can
score
a vast number of hits, even though the website itself has no
content.

Thanks, Janet. At last I understand.
What a miserable occupation.
Let's all think hard about how we could make a monkey of gardenbanter
without actually breaking any laws.
Perhaps we could point out to each poster coming in via gardenbanter
how stupid it is to acces urg via that website rather than joining urg
directly.

Set
X-No archive YES
and then post silly advice.
Google won't archive it, but sites like gardenbanter will

Yes it will because if anyone replies to such a post the original message is
generally going to be in the reply (very few people snip) and thus will be
archived by google.
X no archive is pointless these days (and maybe always has been).

Whilst Google might not archive my reply, how will Google know that I
did not want it archived at a later stage when my reply has been
subsumed in later replies from other urglers?

It can't. Google naively assumes that people will snip posts, not copy
the complete post over and over again. My mail tool has a "Respect
others X-no archive settings" but I am not sure what it does other
than give the user a warm feeling :-)

There's a similar site to gardenbanter that collates boat newsgroup
posts. At least I understand the motivation now.

Not only will you stand out like a sore thumb, so to speak, it should
