Hey, what better way to see how much my Linux server can handle? :) I could just post a single text message on the site... don't really care :) I just enjoy this "Stress Test" of the server... :)

With this sudden name change of Mambo to Joomla!, User:Bishonen has suddenly nominated both and Joomla!. There is extremly divisive debate on both pages, some people voting delete on the grounds that the articles are ads, others going "WTF are you doing! This is certainly notable!" Personally, I'm absolutely flabbergasted. What the hell are these Wikipedians doing?
