I saw the new site earlier and thought it was great.
Falmers are a bad breed and need to (re)learn the netiquite from the late 80s and early 90s. In 92 when I started online at school Netscape was new, Mosaic was HOT and Gopher still popular. I remember archie and ftp instead of search engines.
The newsgroups didn't allow filthy language or flames. I remember young (16 years old) newbies from AOL and how they destroyed newsgroups and IRC. I don't go near them anymore.
Remember though, most people who like something stay quiet. It's the dessenters that complain and flame.
I've learned to ignore them, and hope others will too (well after a few mail bombs to them:), since I know they aren't going away any time soon.
