    Yeah, I use it for a couple of sites I manage. It's not like other registrars don't impose VAT, GoDaddy has been doing it for years, but it's just incredibly annoying because it's an online service that has nothing to do with me being in the EU. It's just retarded legislation trying to impose imaginary geographical lines in a digital space.

    Bad news, everyone. There's no decent, supported arcade mod for XenForo, amazingly enough. I'll be keeping an eye out in case one surfaces in the future. It's not exactly a critical feature, but it'd be nice to have.

    I'm positively devastated! :p

    With Kongregate just a click away, I'm sure y'all can find some way to satisfy those flash game urges.

    Yea, it's more about being able to compete against other forum members and keeping score locally than finding games to play.

    I never saw the appeal in trying to achieve a slightly bigger number than someone else while doing something inane.

    My new bike is easy to take apart. The only way to fit it into my small un-american car.

    The 'Latest Active Threads on Boards o' Magick' on the front-page, never updates. Still stuck with the posts from last week.

    I'm not sure what you mean, things work just fine for me, unless we're talking about the old layout.

    Yes, that's still using the data from vBulletin so it hasn't updated since we switched. We're working on getting the site front page back up to speed.

    Oh, the front page. I completely forgot that thing existed. I was looking at the forum index and scratching my head.

    Works now.
    Seems like Tal jolted things a bit. And I wasn't complaining. I'm just a front-page fan. Love to look for new and interesting articles pinned to it.

    I did absolutely nothing today, and it was everything I thought it could be.
