What's Happened to the Avatars?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I have no idea.

I'm assuming the hackers would have done more damage. I mean, you take the time to hack into servers and you don't, at the very least, release some evil, hardrive eating worm? what a waste of time.

Hopefully if we did get hacked Joe will be able to fix it relatively easily.

Anyway, other than the irritating line-through-text thing and the wallama the forums seem a-ok!

Hubert, the resident mountain bike forum ghost, did this damage. It's too bad we couldn't sacrifice a newbie in time.
