On a fresh import, I see that Discobot creates cooked posts that contain

```html
<p>If you’d like to learn more, select <img src=\"//importer.ltcmp.net/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/images/font-awesome-ellipsis.png\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\"> below and <img src=\"//importer.ltcmp.net/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/images/font-awesome-bookmark.png\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\"> <strong>bookmark this personal message</strong>. If you do, there may be a <img src=\"//importer.ltcmp.net/images/emoji/twitter/gift.png?v=5\" title=\":gift:\" class=\"emoji\" alt=\":gift:\"> in your future!</p>

```

It would seem to me hard-coding the site URL isn’t necessary here, though there could well be something that I’m missing that makes including the site name in the URL desirable or necessary.

Also, I see that avatars get cooked like this, also with the host name similarly included.

```html
<img alt width=\"20\" height=\"20\" src=\"//importer.ltcmp.net/letter_avatar_proxy/v2/letter/c/e47774/40.png\" class=\"avatar\"> cmomoney:</div>\n" + try this again: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8b1lo2hndsu782t/save_game_logic_1_2.zip?dl=0\n" +
  "<blockquote>\n" +

```

Oh, and uploads are also cooked like this:

```html
<p><div class=\"lightbox-wrapper\"><a class=\"lightbox\" href=\"//importer.ltcmp.net/uploads/default/original/3X/9/5/9514790cc658fe7049620ed26dfebf7bbdd47fe0.jpg\" data-download-href=\"//importer.ltcmp.net/uploads/default/9514790cc658fe7049620ed26dfebf7bbdd47fe0\" title=\"YGYPYG.jpg\"><img src=\"//importer.ltcmp.net/uploads/default/optimized/3X/9/5/9514790cc658fe7049620ed26dfebf7bbdd47fe0_1_690x387.jpg\" width=\"690\" height=\"387\"><div class=\"meta\">\n" +
   "<span class=\"filename\">YGYPYG.jpg</span><span class=\"informations\">1919x1079 435 KB</span><span class=\"expand\"></span>\n" +
   "</div></a></div><br> Working on some game assets and decided to make some art with it as well.</p>",

```

Perhaps all of these need the hostname embedded to make multisite work?

I think that my immediate solution is to set `force_hostname` before I run the importer. Does that seem right? The other solution that I can think of would be to rebake posts that contain `importer_hostname` in `cooked`.

Also, the more I think about it, the more I think that discobot should be disabled by default on imports. @gerhard, @tgxworld, What do you think? If you agree, I’ll endeavor to submit a PR wtih that in `base.rb`. Or maybe turn it off before import and restore it after the import is done?
