    explanation for black avatars

    for those who haven't read already the many black avatars are to protest the moderation of chit-chat, if you would like to join in our protest pleast change your avatar.
    Government is another way to say better…than…you.
    It’s like ice but no pick, a murder charge that won’t stick,
    it’s like a whole other world where you can smell the food,
    but you can’t touch the silverware.
    Huh, what luck. Fascism you can vote for.
    Humph, isn’t that sweet?
    And we’re all gonna die some day, because that’s the American way
    -Stone Sour

    You can send him an email(VBW hides email addresses so they have a little mailing feature thing)....

    You can still keep your avatar on your HD, just change it to black on VBW.

    Everyone copy my signature too
    I'm bringing geeky back...

    Wow! did I inspire this after stealing the idea from TD?

    I already changed my sig - I think its a little more subtle, but I like it.

    Yep! If you're going to steal an idea at least you made sure it was a good one!

    i was to lazy to remove the links in my original sig, so I simply changed the text to full stops (or periods to the *ahem* y*nks)

    Behemoth, I don't think that even the moderators would think that yanks is a word you have to censor.

    John's idea?

    The avatari says it all, I didn't know about this at all, what's the story=?
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    Keda:
    John went and chose 4 modertaors for all the forums.
    See the comunity thread in Forum Feedback!

    Basically he's moderating chit chat which is crap but also with ppl who never come in here!

    Umm i'm not changing mine!

    Why coz mines a beer and beer means:

    Well if you have enough of them you dont know what the f__k your saying so really if you think about it it's a symbol of free speech!
    God bless beer it has an answer for everything.

    Why black?
    Why not purple? Or neon pink?
