This is a pretty simple game. Just rate the avatar above you.

I would start us off, but I'm the first poster, so that won't work.

You may have noticed that makestation was out for the whole day today. This kind of downtime was completely unexpected and was out of our control. Our webhost got hacked due to a security exploit that was not even two hours into being publicized before a 15 year old kid took advantage of it and did a lot of damage. It was not the fault of our webhost, as other webhosts have been targeted by the same exploit.

It appears that no data is lost, as the owner of our webhost found a very recent backup for us. I will also assure you that daily database backups are made, so should something like this happen again, we won't lose anything important. I apologize for the inconvenience, and it is unlikely that something of this magnitude will happen again in the near future.

This is a pretty simple forum game. Simply post how you believe the poster above you will die.

I would start, but I'm the first poster, so that won't work. Anyway, let us begin

I've finally begun work getting new smilies installed and working. (Using the defaults was a bit meh in my mind. ) I plan on making additions to them over time, and the ranks will probably be significantly improved soon. (Maybe once we hit 2500 posts we can celebrate by getting all new ranks. ) For now, we have something other than the defaults.

If you guys have any suggestions for smilies to add, feel free to leave them here. I'm open to hearing your suggestions, and I'm expecting our smiley set to improve significantly over the next few weeks.

Hey, why not?

Personally, I enjoy both, but I prefer the warm weather. What's your preference?

These days, google is pretty much the king of everything in the online world besides social networking. Youtube, adsense, android, the search engine, gmail, and many other popular services are powered by Google.

So the debate is on whether or not you feel Google is too large. Be sure to share your opinions and vote in the poll!

Did any of our linux users learn shell or not? I'm considering learning it, as it looks like it can make my life a whole lot easier. (though I do know how to sudo rm rf /* )

Personally, I feel like both are pretty bad when it comes to translating text, but out of the two, Google translate far outshines Babble fish. What's your opinion? Be sure to vote in the poll!
