Having the exact same design since, I dunno, 2001-2002 is simply due to nobody putting any effort into making a new one. ;)
Don't discount us cranky old PC gamers! Blue has polled before and most have been resistant to change. I love this design, maximum readability and little clutter. Nice and simple (on the frontend at least).
So great job Frans and Bagpuss! And fast! Even for dial-upers assuming they block the annoying bloated ads.! |

I am surprised BN is still using the same design and hasn't been hacked. Having the exact same design since, I dunno, 2001-2002 is simply due to nobody putting any effort into making a new one. 
As for not being hacked, that's not due to lack of trying: scanners and poking scripts drive by on an almost daily basis.  But the advantage of fully custom Perl CGI scripts (for both the forums and the Blammo news/articles/etc scripts) is that the usual approaches and attempts at SQL injection and whatnot aren't working, partly because our scripts are different from all the usual CMSes. And basic sysadmin practices also help. Nevertheless, a hack can never be fully ruled out, I suppose, so fingers crossed it won't happen for another long time.  |

Oh yea, and I'd love to know what Frans had to do to make them still do so! Hehe, it's been a long time since I worked on them, but I don't recall I had to fix a lot of stuff. Most of my work on the board code entailed new functionality.

Try to find a european delicatessen(though the old fellow is german, and his wife is dutch), the one that's in my home town back east makes their own reindeer, elk and moose brats. Damned tasty. |

For all you Brat lovers...
I was in Denver the past week, and I had an elk brat and a reindeer brat. Now, I hate that in this current generation, everything that's cool is automatically "OMG TEH BEST EVER!" It's used way, way, WAAAAAY too much.
That said, the elk and reindeer brats are undoubtedly the best brats I have ever had in my life. I'm trying to find a place that sells them, because I don't think I can ever eat a normal brat again.

Suss out quality butchers. Not only are they ones who carry game meats but are most likely to use them in sausages and other things. They may even be willing to bring in the meat and make them for you.
Whilst they don't make elk, Uli's make some seriously friggin good sausages. Check out their website for some nice recipes too.

its a good thing they didnt use a nail gun to fix the sail. "hold on jimmy, just keep it still from behind while i use a nail gun."
EDIT: oh its to fix a crew member. i read the headline and thought the nail gun was used to fix the boats sail.
It was a medical staple gun so it's really not that big a deal. Nor could you fix a broken mast with a staple gun, nail gun or anything else for that matter. All you can do is replace it.
