Imagine if someone upvoted this, and when you google'd that name this was the first thing that popped up.

I can do that.
 
Yeah, everything is still on the servers from the old website so nothing has been removed forever.

well, just dm me with anything and ill see what i can contribute ^_^

I'm looking into writing a combination script, but due to the site using HTTP/2 and the biggest feature of it being multiplexing, it doesn't really have any significant performance issues (but I'd love to reduce the number of requests per page anyways) so I wouldn't worry about it.
The reason the website is slow is due to the software and I've been posting bug fixes as fast as I can (newest one was due to reactions of all things lol) and not the JS. Another reason could be the new server host, but other applications are running much faster than before and this is the only new one, so it's probably this.
Regardless, I'm working on it.

Post a picture of yourself holding a piece of paper that says 'I ❤️ XENO GAMERS'
You also must donate $10 or this won't work!
 
OR
 
This doesn't require you to donate $10, for you cheap people!
All you gotta do is memorize the lyrics to this song:

And sing it on video while eating a piece of pizza as fast as possible. The pizza must be 15cm in width (not including crust)
If you do not finish the piece of pizza by the end of the song, you won't get unbanned.
 
OR
 
Watch this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrctMvIWpG0
And learn everything you see in this video. Then apply your knowledge and record a 1:30 second video of yourself doing as many of the dance moves thought in the video as you can. Make sure to watch the entire video and practice.
 
OR
 
Watch the movie `The Buttercream Gang` and write a two-page review on it. Document must be 12pt font Times New Roman with 1 inch margins and it can be double spaced.
 
You only get to be unbanned once! Good Luck!

I personally think @Rabid could be able to scrape up a better design in bout 12 hours tops 

I just wanted to make a forum post after I got accepted saying thanks and a big hello to everyone I may or may not know. 

Done

I resign from member.

@Rhododendron @virr @Aegean
After about five minutes of thinking and cracking 3 cold ones with the boys. I'm bringing up the suggestion to have a Sea of Thieves Division for XenoGamers. Now while there aren't custom servers where we could create our cancer and chaos. There is always the ability to organize crime and being able to have a "Community to call on" to help you and your crew rule the seven seas.There would be a Leader to help organize to keep track of when we could all meet up and go plundering and other leaders to take other crew mates of ships to have an entire Armada to take out as many Enemy crews as possible. It would require a great deal of coordination or some really dank memes. Either way this community can handle that sort of thing right? Inspiration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jjzNsDAOgQ ) Now of course the game is not meant to be played alone so thats why having a already put together community even if it is only held together by one singular piece of scotch tape, Means its easier to find the people of common interest to organize and take over the Sea!

Here is the response I received from Maryland Congressman Anthony Brown of the 4th District about Net Neutrality.
 

 
Thank you for taking the time to contact my office about your support for net neutrality. I appreciate hearing your views and am pleased to have the opportunity to respond.
 
Net neutrality is the principle that Internet Service Providers and governments regulating the Internet must treat all data on the Internet the same, not discriminating or charging differentially by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or mode of communication. The open flow of information is important to our economy, education and our civic life.
 
Chairman Pai’s move to repeal the FCC’s 2015 Open Internet Order threatens the transparency and fairness that this notion relies on. If this administration and Chairman Pai are successful, this repeal will allow telecommunication companies to charge more for a tiered system where wealthy and powerful entities can pay to have their content delivered faster to consumers. Repeal is not just a rich vs. poor issue, but it allows large corporations to be able to decide what content is prioritized. This hinders smaller, independent websites ability to fairly compete in the market, leaving consumers with an obstructed access to the internet.
 
In January I joined over 100 of my colleagues and co-sponsored Rep. Doyle's Congressional Review Act resolution, which would nullify the FCC's December vote to roll back internet regulations.
 
Again, thank you for contacting me about this important issue, and I hope you will continue to keep me apprised of the issues most important to you.

Sincerely,
 

Anthony Brown

Game Name:
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
 
Platform:
Nintendo Switch
 
Time Spent:
105 hours to date
 
Do you recommend?
Yes
 
What you rate the game:
8.4 / 10.0
 
 
Initial Thoughts:
When I first started the game, my first thought was that it was an improvement over the first iteration of Xenoblade- and it is! As always, the voice lines were sort of “off,” but as far as Xenoblade goes, voice lines are usually always pretty “off” anyways. The tutorial messages kept popping up for about 18 hours of game play, which kind of put me off at first, but I realized that they were pretty important tips about how to use the mechanics of the game effectively. They weren’t too long, either.

 
 
Game play and Story:
The graphics and battle systems were greatly improved and the battle system became a lot easier to understand (for the most part). The story is long, just like the last game, but it is filled with all sorts of things. There’s a bit of a problem with how high level enemies are placed in some areas, though. Sometimes, you’ll be walking about, killing the low level enemies to level up and then a level 99 enemy comes out of nowhere and one shots you. Otherwise, the battle system feels nice and complex.

Another thing, walking to each area on the map is a bit time consuming; makes me wish for an item that could increase the overworld movement speed. Another nitpick is the fact that many of the menus and item lists are hell to sort through and could use some settings and options to better organize them. However, with how large each portion of the world is, there’s a lot to explore. But, exploring isn’t always very fun, as some areas are hard to get to without somehow catching a sliver of land that leads to it some way back the way you came.
Now let’s talk about the quests. There’s three types of quests: Story Quests that advanced the story, Normal Quests that give the party EXP, gold and items for completing them, and Blade Quests which are unique to certain rare blades that you summon over the course of the game from Core Crystals- completely RNG! The most interesting quests are the Blade Quests, as they really explore into their respective Blades’ character and personality. Out of the few that I have managed to uncover, I really enjoyed completing the Blade quests for Electra and Boreas. Regular Quests can get tedious at times, but they’re a great source of EXP so you don’t have to grind as much.
 
 
Backstory:
The backstory of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is revealed slowly to the player as the game progresses. This keeps the player interested and engaged. However, there are a lot of cut scenes, so going through them all will definitely take a lot of time. Like the previous game, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has a relatively in depth background to it. It’s not terribly complex, but it’s also not overly simple.
 
 
Pros:
Smooth Battle System
Improved Graphics
Huge, Open World
Interesting Story
Lots of content to go through
 
 
Cons:
Voice lines are memes
Terribly placed high level enemies
Difficult to master combat without advice or prior knowledge
Map layouts sometimes confusing
Quests very confusing at time
 
 
Final Thoughts:
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a fun game with enough to keep anyone interested and playing for a very long while. There’s so much to do and so much to master that it’s even a bit overwhelming at first. I haven’t reached the top of what I can do, but I sure as hell am trying. For reference, I’m 105 hours in and still have about 4/10 more whole chapters to complete.

I'm ok with unbanning him but any nonsense or blatant trolling and it will be an involuntary permanent ban for him.

Fixed both issues and reported the bug!
 

It's probably the website's fault but still trying to find the issue.

Will get those fixed!

Please, offer any suggestions so we can make it better.

Thanks for reporting it...
