Yes, it is a bit high school..

psha!! that's why every girl I've ever dated from that site has been a total immature cunt! at least I got laid. that's why I fell in love with the site.

Now, if only they could a) afford decent programmers and b) stop loading the site up with flash animations that suck my cpu dry.

programmers schmogrammers... if only they could afford decent servers... or at the programmer level, at least not base the damned site on coldfusion. (or is it based on IIS, I forget)

users customizing their personal pages are another thing that's a serious problem. with all of those scrolling picture animations of kimberly and her friends at the beach and everything and the stupid music videos. Some people have 45mb worth of content on their page!

oh yeah... I'm a loser.
