See, we all know that we've had a disproportionate downtime since we moved away from Gamespy. That was to be expected during the move. From now on, once things are properly settled, we should have much better service than before, and we should be able to provide much better service to our hosted websites.

So yeah, Gamespy had problems. We had problems during the move. They should be over soon. And we shouldn't be asking people to click on ads. :p
Probably away. Contact through email.

If you put pr0n ads on the site then you wouldn't need to ask anyone to click on them. ;7

It's not possible to disable those obnoxous IE exclusive rendering tags, is it?  A scrolling box with text half-out of it isn't exactly indicitive of a working page to me.

Opera lost me about the time I saw the ads. And then lost me even more so when I switched to Phoenix (now Firefox).

I still haven't heard a real good reason to move back....I doubt it'll get movies working on my comp.

Well, I don't have much regard for the standards, really. They seem geared towards a corporate taskforce, which I guess is no surprise, just very annoying to see "proper" HTML get more and more complex with each iteration.

That's because the likes of MS sit on the standards board.

Bollocks. XHTML is less complicated than HTML. Sure, it's more stringent (this is a good thing, especially for the parsers) but it also uses a simplified set of markup elements. Many useless and ugly tags (e.g. font, center) have been deprecated from the standard in favor of easier, more elegant alternatives (i.e. CSS).

BTW: The marquee tag is not and never was part of any HTML standard. It's a bogus tag invented by MS.

Why they added support for it in Firefox is beyond me, though...

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
