Hi everyone,

Political discussion is allowed as long as it remains civil. I am closing this particular thread, because it has derailed and I don't think we'll get any meaningful discussion after certain images were posted here.
If you would like to discuss the recent presidential election, please do so in the Off-Topic Discussion subforum. And remember to follow to Code of Conduct.

Hello, and welcome to all you wonderful people joining us from EMS!

• I main a Hayato, and Night Lord
• I'm a huge ESports fanatic, and amateur shoutcaster

Hey everyone,

I appreciate you all looking out for me.

I had some family matters that required my immediate attention (had to drive up to Washington). I hope to be back at it again with the white vans real soon.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to give you any advance notice regarding my absence. It was all extremely last minute for me.

turning everyone into an html coder? oh lurd what are we doing.

Prepping you all to work as web developers
