Due to a potential security hole identified by OldSkoolKamikaze, I've disabled HTML for now. It means the news and content forums will be seriously fuck up man when you read news items in the forums but we're working on fixing that shortly.

UPDATE: News items have been fixed for proper display in the forum. Let me know if you spot any errors.

maybe OldSkoolKamikaze could be using this "discovery" to keep you from discovering all the spambots and FBI spyprograms he is letting through some other hole.

I always figured you knew about the security flaws caused by leaving HTML enabled.

Yeah and until OldSkool let everyone else know, it wasn't really a problem.

What do you mean by fixing? Just updating the forum software, or, like, really going into it's source code, hacking style? Because, you know, I'm lookin' forward to all the regression security holes... :)

Source code for a little hack just to make HTML work in news posts and nowhere else. Upgrading the forum software still requires re-coding the entire front end and oh look...
