New Feature: Upgraded PM System
PM systems are very tricky so please report any bugs here. We recently upgraded how PMs are handled in our site.
Before, when you clicked to read a PM and then clicked back, all your PMs would suddenly show up as being read. This was inconvenient because sometimes you'd forget which PM was read and which wasn't.
Now, when you click to read a PM, only that one PM appears as being read. Your other new PMs show up as unread.
There's also a new "Mark as Read" button so you can mark multiple PMs as being read simultaneously.
The only known glitch is that the first time you visit your inbox, some PMs you've read will appear as unread. Comment here with any issues you see.

Caption Battle: Seeing Red...
"It's that time again..."
"To carry Pi to the 461st decimal place?"
"To figure out why Kei's gotta hate even though we love her?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"
But first, last week's winners, as facilitated by a screencap courtesy of CelestialSushi:
In third place, for being deliciously flippant: 64oldman!
I heard this evolves into a Gyarados.
In second place, because everyone loves classic gaming: Eluria!
It's dangerous to go alone. Take this...
And in the coveted place, simply because deadpan has a way of making me happy... edisshort!
Japan is the only place where girls with swords can randomly walk somewhere with a giant tuna in their hand. You don't see that in America.
I do love deadpan... food for thought, I suppose. In any case, good job, guys!
