Well, Cygan was wondering why there wasn't one, so I made it. I guess we can talk about queer stuff. :3
(*LGBTQ+ Solidarity huggles*)
Oh, and if you're wondering, non-queer folks are welcome too.

What does this site run on? The same logic that makes up the Hopey Tree? Because it feels like that.
"Just as planned."
It's pretty much a massive patchwork quilt and stuffed with hay - most if not all of the articles are done from a text parser rather than anything more sane.
"Did you expect somebody else?"
We're slowly working on fixing that.
"Yup. That tasted purple."
The forum software was built from scratch on top of a heavily customized PM Wiki framework by a single person whose day job was coding video game AI.
He recently handed the task over to professional web designers.
Fresh-eyed movie blog
It started from an old 2003 release of PmWiki. Hence the site PHP scripts being in the pmwiki/ directory and the wiki script being pmwiki.php. Over the years, Eddie added a ton of things and by the time I got here in 2010 the official word was that there was no PmWiki code left (I can't know for certain if this is actually true because I don't have access to the source code), and the pmwiki/pmwiki.php URL structure was left in place 1)for backwards compatibility with existing links and A)the extensions and edits were made to the original scripts.
The forum is a homebrew solution made specifically for the patchwork wiki software. There was a phpBB 3 forum created in '07
, but apparently there was a security hole in the software someone took advantage of which caused Eddie to decide to homebrew it. (though this forum hasn't been completely without security issues, like the time that logged-out users could use moderator tools).
I remember that security breach. And also the one where our user passwords were stored in plaintext.
Eddie outright called the password security issue not a security concern for the site. No matter your opinion of him, goddamn that was a stupid position.
Yeah, I can see his point though. There's no personal information linked to these, so I mean someone could pretend to be me, but to what end?
Still though, that was a foot in mouth moment. That's where you go.
"On one side of things, this is awful. ON the bright side, nothing is stored, so in the meantime things should be ok"

Bet you didn't see that coming
Well, now, he didn't say it wasn't a personal privacy issue, he said it wasn't a "security concern for the site". Which is inaccurate regardless of whether personal information is stored on the site.
Should not still be getting worked up about the fact I don't plan to come out IRL. I thought I'd managed to get my mind settled over that. >.>

This is the whiniest, most unmanly, cowardly, and unfatherly reaction to a kid coming out that I've ever seen. What an example to give one's kids.
If this affects the old fucker as badly as he claims, then let's hope he suffers as much as humanly possible.
Fear the cinnamon sugar swirl. By the Gods, fear it, Laurence.

He complains about the lost nights and days spent caring for his son. What a cissy. I mean, who does that? He's your son, not some chore.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
-finds all the homophobic parents, arrests them, and gives all the children to gay couples-
I FOUND A SOLUTION GUYS
Electric Heart
Yeah, uh, no. Being homophobic makes you a douche, but there's no justification for arresting them.
Uniocular
Nah, it's totally justified.
"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."
It sure is justified to strip the parents of their kids, if they show abusive behaviour. Sadly youth protective services are often no less of a shithole *sigh* .
Fear the cinnamon sugar swirl. By the Gods, fear it, Laurence.
Those screenshots are in the wrong order. The second one should come first.
I know it's a very serious issue...but I can't help but laugh at how his father just freaks out about it.
He says that "people will ridicule me, insult me, and I might turn out to be a criminal." And after this, people definitely WILL ridicule him, insult him, and if all of the evil gay drives him to it, he might actually become a criminal.
But his "I might turn out to be a criminal" line is what gets me most. Does he mean that having a gay son turns him to evil? Or does he think that having a gay son is illegal? Or is it that only criminals have gay kids? ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}

Yeah, I gotta say reprisals would be justified when it reaches that level. That's not just homophobia, that's psychological abuse. If it was a stranger, it would just be run-of-the-mill dickishness or maybe harrassment. But when it's your parent?
And look at the kid's response. Sure, he's mature and stunningly grown-up about it, but nevertheless he makes it clear that he cares a lot about his father. That's straight-up psychological abuse coming from a parent.
The dad thinks his kid is betraying him? He's a hypocrite of the highest caliber.
I concur, Sollydad.
Dad, I need to come out to you. I'm straight. I like girls, dad.
...I...love...you...no...matter...hoW DISGUSTING YOU ARE AH GOD WHY DID YOU GIVE ME A STRAIGHT SON
I CAN'T HELP IT DAD
I love girls, okay? I want to be with girls, dad, not boys! Please accept me for who I am!
THIS IS WORSE THAN DEATH I THINK I MIGHT BE A CRIMINAL
So, while designing my dream girl in The Sims 4, I realize that she's just a better, female version of myself that almost looks like a younger version of my mother. :|
In contrast to my dream guy, who isn't much like me at all and I'm a lot more open to his personality and looks.
What does this say about me?
