	Back in Mid 1998, PHP3 was the latest version of PHP, which is the 
backend that powered the Florida Furs website and many other websites 
you may regularly visit these days (such as Wikipedia). Back then, the 
default naming for the files was .php3 to differentiate between "PHP/FI" 
(i.e.: 2.0 and earlier) and the PHP 3 files.

	After version 4 rolled around, they dropped the default necessity of 
putting the number at the end of the file. So many sites just went on to 
use ".php". The Florida Furs website has upgraded the version of PHP 
many times since then (or so one would probably assume), but the 
configuration for the file name stayed intact to not break the existing 
links since there were many changes to the site necessary to go through.

	Now that Yappy has been revamping the site, he's been changing the 
URLs. Almost nobody uses ".php3" anymore. So I'm glad it's been finally 
gotten rid of. But now you all know WHY it was there and why it's NOT 
there now.
