Yes, I decided to toughen up the rules,
I just will not let nubs SPAM a site, no matter what, I just don't care. You see people dececrate hundreds of blogs with anonymous postings trying to sell ringtones, how is registering just to make one post about your site any different.
This is part of the old rule that only when you've made a few posts the www field of your profile is enabled. It's like that so you don't have to jump through extra hoops to register, and keeps away the spammers.
It's not like you'd get anyone to read your topic, let alone click your link anyway.
Those ringtone and casio advertisers make me sick.

The excitement of doing changes to phpBB2.0 became less exciting as news that phpBB3.0 (Olympus) was nearing beta cycle.
This site will move to phpBB3.0 during the RC cycle and will give new and exciting features, such as birthdays, sub-forums and attachments,
However some features, such as the unused blogs will fall to the wayside.
phpBB3.0 will make the site more accessible than ever,
anyway of late I've been working on other things, such as spending time with my cousins and working on the game I an co-authoring.

This is a rant of confusion,
Ok, there are all these Green Day Fan sites which claim to be trying to support the band, but how can they be supporting the band when they offer free downloads of songs (copyrighted material) and burnt copies of bootlegs and songs and even whole EP's (which are all copyrighted material) without permission of the band or the record company.
I want to see the letters of correspondance thank you very much.
Also what is up with people who want to support the band going and downloading the entire album off of kazaa, I suggest they go save their little pennies and pay for the album like everyone else has to. If you like them that much $30 isn't that much to spend, and it's a fairly lengthy album at 57 minutes (alot of albums these days are 40 minutes).
You get 60ish minutes, so thats 50c a minute of entertainment, which you can listen to over and over again.
While I will agree that the value compared to a movie isn't much in terms of content, but how many times will you watch that $40 2 hour DVD, maybe twice, how many times will you listen to the album maybe 10-100 times, and thats where you get the value.
I will agree that music is cheaper to produce than a movie and the RIAA is screwing us, but this is the real world, put up with it and just buy the damn thing. Or if you fail to do that, go and donate the $30 to unicef instead.
Warning: A Green Day site does not condone piracy and will not offer Green Day songs or performances without permission ever. We don't want to be sued. If you want a bootleg, send a well formatted punctuated and edited letter to AOL Time Warner (American Idiot is released under Warner Records, contact Reprise for earlier records) and see what their response is.

I present to you a more enticing site header,
I hope you all like it, it's not quite perfect tho, but it's still pretty good.

Well we now have a few features left up our sleeve, and it's going to be brilliant.
What you have seen added over the last week is just a taste of what is going to come.
In other news I've been updating the news all by myself.
Yeh not much else except I'm tired.
