Really slow for me, though. Like "one bar on the phone while browsing" kind of slowness.

Yeah, why are you a sock puppet now? And why are all the buttons text only?  I thought it was just Firefox 3 Beta, but it looks the same in Safari.

Actually I took the opportunity to upgrade to a newer version of SMF.  Or I thought I did -- footer still says 1.1RC43...

If things are slower I'll look into it once I get some statistics to dig through.  Haven't even started tweaking the server for performance yet.

Paul Frank?  Just Googled him.  He's a designer, apparently. 

I likes monkeys.  Not real monkeys, just cartoon monkeys.  Clint was too mean of an avatar.  He made all my posts sound angry.

Like, I'm totally bummed, man.  It's slow, and my avatar is missing, too.

But hey, we're back!
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Paul Frank designs clothing for the tween set. that being said, its rather disconcerting to see it used as an avator for a (presumably) male person, considering that i've only seen it on girl's t-shirts, purses and undies.

in answer to your question, yes, that particular monkey is feminie....

I thought his name was Julius.  Huh?

This is a mostly-male site, so I doubt it will matter.  On the other hand, I was hoping to find a better image out there, so I'll likely be changing it, anyway. 

Hey, Riley, that was pretty good.   laugh  But if my avatar gets the attention of younger chicks, that's not half bad.    Nobody tell the wife.

With the "younger chicks" you'll be attracting with that avatar, you'll end up having more guys in the penal system admiring your legs than you'll feel comfortable about.....  police

It would seem that any avatars uploaded from the computer went dead... so I'll swear off Chelsea as bad luck. Back to brunettes.
