If anyone is getting an emails today from the site please let me know. They should be completely shut down.

Color scheme time: I'm thinking about keeping the gray layout with some shade/color adjustments. Maybe make quote boxes a different shade and change the yellowish text to something more readable. Now's the time for input. Let me know what you think.
We will be cruel to Pitt.  And through our cruelty they will know who we are.  And they will find the evidence of our cruelty in the disemboweled, dismembered and disfigured bodies of their brothers we leave behind us.  And Pitt won't be able to help themselves but imagine the cruelty their brothers endured at our hands and our boot heels and the edge of our knives.  And Pitt will be sickened by us.  And Pitt will talk about us.  And Pitt will fear us.

Mine are on the right, too. Not sure how much I care about that.

Can you make it easier to hit "see unread posts" ?
There was a convenient button on the previous version, but now I have to go to the main page (unless there's something I'm missing).

The thread titles in yellow is a bit hard to read. It would be nice to see it changed to something with more contrast against the gray.

The yellow text will probably end up blue, then we can incorporate gold into other parts of the site.

I will be rebuilding the censored word database. I'm going to add a lot of the words that we used to let slide because the new site allows everyone to enable/disable the censoring. I'll let you know when it is ready as well.

I'm having an issue this afternoon with the site only loading in basic text with no forums or background. Tried it on Firefox and Internet Explorer withe the same result. Have tried clearing history and cookies, no result.

We're having some issues with the default style. I'm going to revert to the stock style until I can get it sorted out.
We will be cruel to Pitt.  And through our cruelty they will know who we are.  And they will find the evidence of our cruelty in the disemboweled, dismembered and disfigured bodies of their brothers we leave behind us.  And Pitt won't be able to help themselves but imagine the cruelty their brothers endured at our hands and our boot heels and the edge of our knives.  And Pitt will be sickened by us.  And Pitt will talk about us.  And Pitt will fear us.

I'll post it here. Just so everyone knows, you can also disable signatures, avatars, Flash video and embedded images if you're on a slow internet connection or don't want to view them.

Lol yeah had to do that because of work also. A guy got fired for watching a video where a guy got gored in the testicles by a bull. They fired him for looking at pornography. And there is a lot more scantily clad and vulgar words here readily available than that.

I am currently having long load times accessing the site. I checked to see if it was my connection, but it does not appear to be an issue on my end.
