"what dose this has to do with not a thing just trying to reach my 15 14 to go":

I think this is the first example of the downside of our "minimum comments before posting" rule.

Images of the 20th Century:
This video was posted a long time ago, and I made a stab at trying to identify every single image that appears. Now that we've almost tripled our membership since then, I'm wondering if anyone can help fill in the holes.

Zidane The Mad Headbutter - Remixes:
It's definitely not deserving of a FPP, but I thought people would get a kick out of the various animated .gif remixes out there involving everyone's favourite man-bull.

A closed but viewable discussion?
: I don't know if it's just this way on my computer, but this thread is viewable and doesn't allow any more contributions (as the comment box has disappeared).

Can't respond! Going crazy!
: It seems no one can post responses to any of the front page posts.

SpoFi server go boom?: I can't seem to post a comment in the ARod discussion. Every time I do, I get a MySQL error. (see inside)

I will be away from the computer until after Xmas, so I just wanted to take this time and wish everyone on SpoFi a Merry Christmas (or Happy Chanukah or Lovely Kwanzaa or Excellent Festivus). I hope that everyone has a safe holiday.

I've noticed that SpoFi is starting to get a bit, well, ghettoized. The baseball people post only stuff about baseball, the soccer people stick to soccer posts, etc. My suggestion for June (not May because it has already started and we might need "setup time"): Everyone "trade" sports with another user for at least one post.

I remember the good old days when there used to be a single soccer/football post every week that handled all the information at once. Now I see that the last 5 posts have been about footy.

What's going on here? We have 3 different front page posts for the "Chunky Soup Curse" (here, here and now here). I think that's 2 posts too many.

As well, it seems that two of the links are to the poster's own weblog. He's even confirmed it.

I'm hoping the moderators/editors/benevolent overlords will clean this up as it is obviously against posting guidelines and is cluttering up the front page.
