      Every year...nathan needs to think up something new. I was ready this year. I changed the layout to a non-default setting.

      umm... this is nearly the same as it was last year... with some additions.

        Maybe a better joke:

        A page with:
        "The internet doesn't exist anymore."

        LOL

        I definitely would like to do something more drastic. But I don't have a ton of time to devote to it and I would like to keep the forums / site semi functional at the same time. I actually played around a little with converting all the text on the forum to another language or changing keywords to start trek related words, e.g. "start" to "engage" but after thinking about it for awhile I assumed it'd cause too many issues.

        yeah, I'd think the purpose of the forum makes it hard to change too much without making it difficult for the users who came here for computer help; it can be especially confusing if a user posts a topic, then they come back to check for replies and find everything completely different. As it is now I'd say you did the best you could get away with without causing too many problems. (of course there is always the dense lot who never really knows what's happening and asks things like "Oh no the logo at the top changed am I infected?" ) :P

        Heh ok, yeah I've heard of him. Didn't realize he's become so epic that he is now part of an acronym. ;)

        Funny. I would have guessed you meant spectateswamp

        he's bearded, and he's rather epic as well. He even inspired a site built to chronicle his accomplishments:

        http://www.thestupidestmanonearth.com/

        <and> he has evidence of aliens, which he denies are actually artifacts from video compression. It's a rather sad case.

        I don't get it. What did Spectate Swamp do? Is he like the Merlin of CH for the rest of the Internets?
