Didn't mean for it to be taken seriously.

I was poking around and found out that if I make the default theme optional for users to select than you won't be able to navigate the site, you will only see the forum. So yea, any themes we use have to be custom coded or whatever, but crait is the one to be talking to about this theme stuff.

Haha, I think there is a medical condition for that? Like you hear stuff and you feel like you have them? Idk, I'm really surprised by how many people are complaining about this. Theres nothing we an do but still, unless everyone looks at the forum like 10in away from their screen at night with all the lights off idk.

Okay so once again does anyone have any suggestions for the site that can be done without server access?

Nah, I think its just my mind... you know like you hear something, and then someone tells you that the person is saying something completely different, then you listen again and you hear it completely differently :P

I just read all this. We had decided on sending a mass email recently, but then stuff started happening. Really, until the homebrew of the PS Vita, I don't really see a way of attracting new members unless we make another package installer. The wii thing Brent and Nik did was amazing.

Then again, this site really doesn't have a leader directing the site either. Ace and I are the only people who regularly talk (if you can even call it that. Its rare) and agree on stuff. But neither of us are coders like Crait (who has done things like the forum layout without telling anybody). Nik is another story. For a while I was regularly talking to him. Got Talkita running and I got it listed on I think Lifehacker for him. It was great. But our talking fizzled after I stopped getting on AIM.

What do you mean "if you can even call it that"?! I thought we had something special burger king! That hurts, that really hurts.

:p But really I concur, I rarely get on aim as well so I haven't talked to nik in ages.
