I actually prefer being in the background nowadays. I'm generally pretty busy in meatspace so I can switch off sometimes on here just cleaning things up and banning f00ls ^_^

Shows my join date as 2000, but that was the second or third incarnation of the forum. I probably first started posting there in 1995 or 1996. Damn. Twenty years.
Oy vay! Those graphics are pretty hard on the eyes. I can't tell if there is any unifying theme to the site. Is there?
It's a PC enthusiast site. As far as I can remember they always used the white lettering on a black background with blood red borders. Not sure if it's an attempt to seem tough or goth, or something else.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

The mods sticky this very thread for member comments on staff actions.
The mods go on strike because they don't like member comments on staff actions.
You can cut the irony with a knife!

The inclusion of this thread shows they are willing to hear it. It doesn't mean they'll like everything they hear. Meh.

I've considered going on a strike myself. Not because I don't think that the mods have a point, but because I don't like the atmosphere here any more.

Yeah, what a shithole.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
