Question What's up with the site?

I think we're being attacked by an alternate universe. A universe where apes evolved from men, and could never quite make television work, and now they're taking it out on us.

Oh, thank goodness, someone was finally willing to comment about it openly.

At first, I thought the everything-is-comic-sans thing was just one of Zeke's bad jokes, to be explained presently. But as it dragged on (and on), it eventually reached the point where I knew Zeke didn't know about it, but it had gone on so long that bringing it up was too awkward.

But now that FG has broken the silence, let this be an official bug report, Zeke: everything is in Comic Sans. Please fix it. Screenshot from a few minutes ago, if it helps you find the root problem:

The root problem is you, Wowbagger. You are clearly attempting to punk me.

You're right. I actually have no idea what you guys are talking about. What's wrong with the site? Site? What site? Who am I? Why am I here?

(By the way, it's easy to tell the screenshot is fake by the timestamps -- looks like Wowbagger made this at least a year ago and just got around to using it. But I didn't notice that when I replied, and I'm rather proud of myself for having the confidence to call him out anyway. He will not destroy this and confuse us on my watch.)

What's wrong with the site? Nothing, of course. It hasn't changed at all.

You might describe its condition as... static.

See, if you want to prank someone again, do it properly. All modern browsers have the ability to override the font for readability.

...or you can do like I do: make a Q account, get a friendly admin to give that account admin powers, and put the entire forum on trial for crimes against existence.

Oh, so is this why they kicked you out of Bravo Fleet?

(But, seriously, putting RSB on trial for crimes against existence is too kind a fate.)

No, more like I let myself out. They gotta remember to keep the cages locked.
