In the early 2000s, Mountainburg was one of several small Arkansas high schools for which it was challenging to field an 11-man football team. The school canceled three games in 2002 because of injuries to players and was unable to field a team in 2003.[3]

A building associated with the school was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992, but the listing was removed from the National Register in 2001.[2]

WebSocket can be "intercepted" by intermediaries (like WS proxies): those are allowed to reorder WebSocket control frames (i.e. WS pings/pongs), but not message frames when no WebSocket extension is in place. If there is a neogiated extension in place that in principle allows reordering, then an intermediary may only do so if it understands the extension and the reordering rules that apply.

gollark: They won't NECESSARILY all arrive, and you have to plan for that, but they should.
