Create some logic to deal with the ways different servers provide links for games. No reason something like this shouldn't be linked up:

Can this be dealt with markdown parse? (or maybe it already is?)

That's definitely one idea. I realize I described what I meant inadequately: I was thinking that it might be nice to transform the link more than just wrapping the URL in an anchor tag (though maybe that's adequate).

I like the idea of turning "OGS: http://online-go.com/game/2077701" into <a href="http://online-go.com/game/2077701">OGS</a>. That would essentially require some custom regexes to handle the different formats that can come from the servers we know about. What do you think?

Ah ahn... I get what you mean now :) So yeah, probably markdown parse is an overkill. Can we dump some data from the DB with possible places that have a URL inside? just to get an idea.
