• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Random thought for the day

Funniest thing I think I've ever heard is Mel Blancs' Porky Pig singing Blue Christmas. It's really worth looking up - I would post it, but I am technologically hindered.
I am also hindered by technology. I used to design websites, modify forums, and do a lot of digital animation. I know how the search processes are rated and what moves the searches higher on the listings. I can choose words to include in a search that will come very close to targeting what I am looking for on the first page of the results. Recently I had to set up a different browser to avoid some of the blocks set to identify web spiders. On the incognito browser I normally use to read news, look at the forums, or search for content, the search engine I had been using in that browser was throwing up them stupid captcha pictures where you have to select squares that have parts of buses, street lights, or some other thing before you can proceed. The explanation with it is because they think I am a web spider because of the terminology and search parameters I set up for a search. I thought it would go away after a while, but it did not. I had to switch to a different search engine. I refuse to prove I am a human before they will allow me to run a search. I don't think they really cared if I am a web spider or not. I think they were placing time killer captchas in my way because they couldn't tell who was searching or where they were located with the software they were using. It is also possible they did not like the ads being blocked, so they wanted to make it more difficult.
