This used to be a hub of awesomness. Now it is a hub of desolation. Posting shit like this used to get me banned, now I bet it doesn’t even raise an eyebrow.

I don’t think that one would ever gotten you banned…. it’s just silly.

As for what happened? People grew up, got more involved in their jobs and took whatever discussions they wanted to do to #perkele or AIM… We’re unfortunately a too tight group to have to rely on a slow update system like a forum when we can just duke it out in chats. I believe most people still check it every now and then, hoping somebody else has something to ask/say, but don’t bother with starting a discussion themselves.

Yeah, you’re right. Looks like even I have softed up these days.

I notice some perkelians chat, but I noticed that for the most part Greg, Wes, Clive, etc are all gone. Heck, I don’t even see Lovisa post now.

More importantly wtf happened to the home page.  Looks like freakin’ 20,000 leagues under the sea.

It has been aardvarked.

Oh, that’s just a thing I was playing around with after I realized one afternoon that the pea green and Velveeta orange design we’ve had for the past four or five years kinda sucks. I call the theme “Baltic,” in honor of our founding patriarch. I wanted to stick some sea life and a nice DoB galleon or whatever in the water.

As the whole point of this thread makes clear, it’s not like the site gets more than a few dozen hits per month, but it’s just a fun free time design project.

P.S. Check out the (very active) quote database, it is pretty rad!

P.P.S. Check out the new in-browser chat! Not only is it linked in the main menu (and also mentioned, along with specific IRC client connection details, in the quote database FAQ), but it now gives you casual chatters no excuse not to join us! It even joins the freakin’ channel for you! How wicked sick is that, folks!

Andy get your fucking hairy ass in the channel or I will rape you with a moose hoof.

I’m glad Jep is still a wave of overpowering lameness

I’m not glad your diseased-with-yellow-fever ass isn’t in IRC either.

Jep has a spray on tan.

It has my fin of approval. More water!

Although… the baltic is just a huge lake… couldn’t you name it The North Sea after some real ocean?
