And Lord, we are especially thankful for nuclear power, the cleanest, safest
energy source there is. Except for solar, which is just a pipe dream

But LO is a hell of a script, and could be made to work I think, if you just want a simple listing. I use it for hard link trades, and it's solid as a rock, and easy to set up and use.

I know what you mean about Dragon and some of the others not being updated. Dragon works well for me, but I'm not sure what the future holds as far as updates and such. There are some newer scripts which are popular now, though...JMB comes to mind.
Considering the directory is archival only, statistical reports is not vital. Regarding the links, I won't be separating them. It would just be a simple listing in descending by date order. The latest links added would be at the top and the older links will be pushed down. The style would be unique to blend with the rest of the site so no issues there.

As to other link list scripts, I had sent an e-mail to the owner of Dragon and I was told that there were no updates being worked on and it won't be worked anytime soon although support is still present. So considering the latest version is back from 2006, I had passed on. I wanted to use LinkX from JMB but unfortunately, it is a dynamic script. I already have the pages done by TGPX so that would be impossible and reversing the scripts would be a hassle.
