I think that is a standard thing to prevent magic secrets and other personal conversations you may be having with folk on their boards being cut and pasted onto other websites and all over the internet by third parties unknown to you. I have heard of that before on many other websites, I don't think it is anything peculiar to them.

I find the Cafe rather ironic. For a website made by guys who have to market themselves in order to get booked, they sure suck at making a simple forum. I am not even joking about this, a 14 year old with 10 min worth of spare time could make a better and easier to use forum then the Cafe could. I have seen cheap and easy forums that were made by kids that looked way more professional than the Cafe.

I don't understand their whole "lets put a category for literally everything."ideology. It's just an eyesore to try to navigate the site or even view it.

Too many categories and too much difficulty reading it for long - really? a green background, that sounds like a bad idea, and looks even worse.

That said, some people obviously enjoy it - and I will search for something if I want another opinion on something, so it can be useful.
