Several people who still (occasionally) visit this forum have now had an account for 10 years.
David had this milestone last December.
Last month (March), Moscow Tracer and starwindz.
I have it today.
Upcoming are Falcury (June) and Andrew (July).
Next year kj-5349 and Kaslghnoon.
Of course, we cannot beat poirot (2003) or tacosalad and jalal (both 2005).

Dr DisRespect is very good with a sniper rifle.
Five enemies (actual players, not bots), and he needs just five shots.
(Warning, he shouts loudly after winning.)

This is interesting to me, how women like the Dad bod so much.

Younger women (than those in the video above) do too, prefer it over a fit body.

This website mentions some possible reasons.

Apparently, Mechner married Whitney Hills last April.

Most likely they're divorced, although they've kept silent about this.
You can tell by little things, e.g. Hills writes: "I live [...] with a Siamese cat and a Papillon."
And how, on social media, neither of them has linked to anything their ex-partner wrote in a long, long time.

Mechner filed a marriage dissolution case against Hills in 2017:

And they divorced on 26 June 2017:

For three weeks now, English Wikipedia administrators have been in conflict with the Wikimedia Foundation, after the latter banned for one year veteran administrator Fram. The ban is not overturnable by anyone - some administrators tried. Wikimedia Foundation is withholding some information, which makes me guess, based on what I've read, that the conflict's origin is partially related to 'gender equality'. The conflict is on-going. Articles that cover the conflict are at breitbart.com and buzzfeednews.com. So far, as far as I can tell, there's no coverage yet in the mass media.

Slightly more mainstream now with Slate writing about it.

"As of Tuesday morning, at least 21 Wikipedia administrators [...] have resigned in protest against the ban."

[...], that the conflict's origin is partially related to 'gender equality'.

Seems possible harassment is the main issue.

I just finally realised that Eminem is em (M) and em (M), so M and M, after his real name Marshall Mathers.

Today's xkcd lists PoP as one of the "very old games".

Today's xkcd lists PoP as one of the "very old games".

I looked up what the Explain Xkcd wiki says about it, and I found out that PoP was also featured in an earlier comic.
The places of three potions (of the four) are marked with coins.
