I really enjoy this site's design. At first I thought that LocalCDN was blocking some CSS/JS but to my surprise, no - it just looks that way. I like it.

I'm glad I found this thread and thank you for not self censoring this time. I've very often done the same. And yes, the vBulletin style forums is something I really miss.
