Quick Little Question
|
It states in the forum rules that this website's server is in France.
Is the website based in France because the owner lives there or is it simply more inexpensive to base it in France? 
It's to throw the fundies off the scent.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

It is simply in France because that is where the server is located. No, the owner, who prefers not to be thought of that way, though he really is the owner, does not live in France. I can see him scoffing at the very idea now.

Which is why he's so perfect for his job

Nothing that xtian fundies hate more than France. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_fries Quote:On March 11, 2003, Representatives Robert W. Ney (R-Ohio) and Walter B. Jones, Jr. (R-North Carolina) changed all references to French fries and French toast on the menus of the three cafeterias run by the House of Representatives. House cafeterias were directed to rename French fries to "freedom fries". I mean, what a pair of assholes it took to think of that! 
It's so we can get cheap croissants.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
Stay away from French cars though, they're shit.
