i guess you could put the joke back up IF you make the link to our real site visible... (not obvious, but still visible)

nope B :)
feel free to post a small news article... i'll remove the joke page tomorrow morning. hehe

me and D came up with this idea, well, actually that was D's idea. what did you think when you came to visit the site?

EDIT: this is funny, the JavaScript embedded in that page has a class called tit and tits :) I bet the guy who coded it didn't pay too much attention to the wording mumbo jumbo or maybe he didn't think anyone will read the source. lol

EDIT 2: k, i got the news up. the joke page will be removed in about 6-7 hours (by the time i go to bed). if anyone objects and wants it to stay longer then feel free to post here and lemme know.

alright... all it really did to me was confuse me.. i knew we weren't over bandwidth or anything and my "check for new posts on the forum" script still worked, and my email still worked, and the control panel still worked, and IMPoll.calcgames.org still worked.... so i ftp'd in, that worked, downloaded index.htm and looked at the source and realized it wasn't our normal one and i looked to see if it was one of you who made it (by looking at the one part i knew you would have edited) and saw the invisible link.

ah well... i also knew that webhosting.cx wouldn't have put the 3rd bullet in there if it was a real error page.

aha, so you actually did take some time to look around uh? good!
i'm actually a little surprised that you've read the bullets and me and D of course already guessed that you'd go and check ftp to see what's up. :)
come on B, you gotta admit that we got you. won't you?

alright.... this is random but i don't want to start a new topic...

i just added a ton of files and i'm not 100% sure all the information/links are correct (i checked all the links so they are not blank, but still possibly wrong).. so could everyone check shells/links/names/descriptions to make sure they're correct?

The site is strange right now, the games menu is expanded and is where the ad's are, and the banner is gone, and none of the mouse-over menus work, either...

Opera, and the problems just started about 3 hours ago, and I've had opera for about 2 weeks now, strange, it works in IE...

Hunh, I guess I changed it to ID itself as opera, and calcgames doesn't work right, when it ID's at MSIE 6.0 is works fine...

interesting..... i just installed opera.

the drop down menus go below the ad banner, and the banner is alligned to the left, even though the code tells it to allign to the middle.

odd...

opera's always been crap...no offence anyone. i dunno, if i ever get extra time i might install the darn thing and tune the site to work in it as well. hardly anyone uses it though, so i make no promises.

everything works fine in IE and NS7 btw.

The drop down menu never did work really with it, and Opera's alot better than the outdated IE, when was the last version of IE was released, BTW?

everything works fine in Mozilla, as it should if it works in Netscape. Except a few admin specific functions.

snicker, those screenshots were so impossibly fake. Not to mention just any bit of the program description.

well allyn, outdated isn't a right word here. opera still doesn't support all the features of NS and IE. outdated would apply if opera were offering more features which it doesn't apparently. anyway, i don't want to start another browser war here, so like i said if i'll get some free time i'll dl opera and try to fix teh menu problem.

ya, i could kinda tell someone had just done a grayscale picture of the original halo. too many pixels, too in-depth of a greyscale, etc.
