this was an interesting story

it reinforces my hunch that we're going to see a continued expansion of private and semi private communities, and not just for specific-needs sex hookups or torrents. the internet is proof that without social sanctioning and the threat of violence, people are basically worthless pieces of shit.
the "oh my god having children ate my free time" piece, not so much.

| It looks pretty bad from my point of view. I mean, kudos for all the live content, but holy shit-fuck, they need a designer. |

Eww...
that's a god awful layout. I mean, they don't have enough of a readership to be able to drive them away with that kind of stuff.
It also breaks my browser window at work (which I admit I keep a bit small).
I don't like this new format one little bit. I am cry.
EDIT: The tags are in a god awful spot.
EDIT EDIT: Their stock-photo-esque photos look even worse in this new layout, where before they were just barely acceptable.
