Anyone ever read "The Meaning of Liff", by Douglas Adams? It developed from a pub game he invented - it takes a bunch of place names (mostly British), and comes up with meanings for them - the idea was to plug all the gaps in the English language, apparently. For example, "Woking" became the verb for "standing in the kitchen and wondering what you went in there for" - it's about time there was a word for that, too. ---EDIT--- Just found a website version of it. People from Massachusetts may be slightly offended. http://folk.uio.no/alied/TMoL.html

This new layout is so bare! I hate it.
@Spanishnerd It's too bright, too. xd
They changed the text encoding. It needs to be on ISO-8859-1.
So here's a temporary fix for the diacritics/accents problem:
Internet Explorer 6: Right-click --> Encoding --> Western European (ISO)
Firefox 1.5: View --> Character Encoding --> Western (ISO-8859-1)
Other browsers have their own ways of changing the encoding, but it's usually pretty easy.

And the header isn't collapsible anymore! These guys don't understand how valuable screen real estate is sweatdrop
*makes user css to collapse header*
P.S. Okay, this is stupid. Even with the header gone, they use a ton of space for your avatar image and mail button, trade button, etc. And even so, the avatar isn't big enough! eek At least they didn't take the emotes domokun

The last one was alright...why sand it down? Benzi, I miss the old header too.
The avatar picture in the top right corner is smaller now, and everything's bland. Ick.

rofl domokun
The objects of prepositions are in the nominative case, though, so "mi havas mordojn de kuloj je me nazo"
