Well, I just updated my original post in this thread. Enjoy.

The Firefox logo shows a red fox. If a firefox is a red fox or a red panda lies in the eye of the <a href='http://www.fictionalworlds.com/forgotre ... HOLDER.jpg' target='_blank'>beholder</a>. The Chinese word for firefox is used for the red fox and the red panda similarly, although there are other unique words for both species. But since the logo shows without a doubt a red fox, I go for the red fox option. So it's a really milliecious browser <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

I believe someone else had that as their sig at some point. No, not believe; I <i>know</i> someone had that as their signature.

Can't remember where I found this pic, but it sums up Firefox nicely <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I seem to recall that being Kles's avatar at one time.

[Llewthepoet]

Good Grapes! I'm sorry I even asked the question! DCF bans people? Is that why I'm number #364 and there are 248 registered members?

[Richard K Niner]

A lot of accounts were deleted after the great crash of '04.<br><br>Well before I joined.

[Bocaj Claw]

And at least one person was booted for reasons of conduct and other such things

[Tavis]

Err.. right... The reason so many names were removed was to clear the list of members who had registered but never posted since the crash. It had been some months since, and I guess 5hfifty wanted to tidy up the place some. The action was regretted almost immediately when we found out a lot of regulars (and dcsimpson!) had been removed too and had to recreate their profiles.
