Hey James, my word isn't showing up.
Nor mine.

Oh thank goodness. They were too young to be wandering about on their own. Something appears to be wrong with the Rankings page. I see some folks who verbotomized with only 4 points.
Hey Purple, I have updated the score so that it is correct now. I will be watching it to see the Double Verbotomy introduces any other bugs ~ James

Thanks James!

Hmm... my word's not there, either. No word means no votes. Not that I would've gotten any.
Clayton - 2007-06-27: 21:02:00
Never mind that last comment. Very strange.
Clayton - 2007-06-27: 21:02:00
Wait... it's missing again.
