Safari 4 for the win, Works great.

It's raining/storming, so our DSL isn't doing so great. It's going in and out.

It's good right now, but it's so slow.

--While I'm typing this, it's going in and out. Just stopped working. Ugh.

Firefox just has some serious memory leaking/bogging down issues... I usually have to restart it at least once a day. No real issue with that with Safari so I'm going to stick with this for now. Haven't noticed any real huge changes with 4.0 yet, but considering it's still in development, well, that's to be expected.

Said issues have been gone with FF3 since the early betas, I know from experience.

It's not a universal issue, there is something specific on your machine that causes the problems.

It really annoys me when people I've never heard of post "I'm leaving halomods" threads.

Even if they've been here for 7 years.

Haha I find it funny more than anything. But if you can't get attention from modding, you can try and gain attention (albeit from staff) from goodbye letters or "I've been in a *insert type of accident here* and its given me a *insert severity of headache or acne breakout here*"

Yeah I messed with that a little, I can sort of see how that'd be nice but I don't see myself using it that often.
