Spread the word: Announcing Our New Identity, "Microsuck"
After four years of being known primarly as Microsoft.com, the flagship site of the Microsoft Eradication Society now sports a new, slightly more family-friendly name: Microsuck.

Although I wasn't here back in the fuckmicrosoft.com days most of the older members here agree that this place used to be better back then and looking at some of the older threads I'd agree.

 You don't think that's caused by the name change, do you?

fuckMicrosoft.com created problems, for example people looking over my shoulder at internet cafe's, seeing me browse FUCKMicrosoft.com, and internet cafe's blocking anything that has fuck in it's URL.

Do the Internet cafe's in The Netherlands serve weed like the other ones? If so it could be a good reason for people not to use the site from there.
