Darnit - you'd think they would at least apologize for the inconvenience, no?

And you're absolutely right.
Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

I blame ghost flash and the PM threats he makes to everyone to damn them to hell or take them to court.
There are many young rightwing members on these forums proud to support Bush no matter what. If Bush is re-elected I'd like to see the look on these member's faces when they are drafted. Now watch this drive.

I made a deal with my God (which is considerably more powerful then your God) to switch the sig every night at 12:00.

BOT: I'm wondering when the craziness is going to stop?

People who name their threads ambiguously should be shot.

Just tell him "I disagree with your opinion" and he'll flame you to death.

The PM he sent me was hilarious. Very childish.

What's ambiguous about "Wtf???" ?

And since we're on the topic, sort of, what is a.tribalfusion.com? (Yeah, it's a url, I know that)

Why does every god damn page I load in here have to wait for a timeout (ie. 40 seconds) from a.tribalfusion.com before it loads the page? It's annoying as hell and makes this place slow as hell!

And why do the pages all load twice when finally they load? I can usually manage to write like half a line or so in this box, then whoops! the page reloads

a.tribalfusion.com is an ad server, I believe.

Its good to see everything is back to normal I guess this thread is now redundant apart from the usual religion bashing that some people like to do.

Yeah, I got as much as well... Anyone know if there's a way to block all content, no matter where or how it appears, from a particular server? (FireFox, WindowsXP)

And the double loading thing is just plain strange... it comes and goes... like right now, it's gone again, but it was here last night/this morning...
