@Zayin, what code monstrosities and/or treasures lurk in the Eldemore code?? I refuse to believe that this behavior is limited to but one coder from twitter.
Oh man, one of these days I'll have to go digging in the old code. I did some janky stuff back in the day. Off the top of my head was the original codex, at that point all of our adoption data was stored in xml files, and I wrote a php script to walk through it to produce the codex. Html was pieced together in a string variable called "$fanta", because IDK fanta was a meme back in 2013 and I didn't know what else to call it. This held the entire html output for the page and would get echo'd at the end. I also used to call the pet outcome IDs "$oID", and I remember once spending like 40 minutes looking for a bug, only to find that I used a zero in one of those variable names.
A couple of many janky stories, this could be cathartic to get into one day.
