We launched a few tweaks to the site design today. The hatman big logo has shrunk and there’s now several “skyboxes” at the top with our top stories. The logo is smaller. Hatman is not totally gone, he will appear is the sidebar every so often and maybe a smaller logo version of him will reappear in the title bar as well. There’s also a new comments tool for admins: disemvoweling. If you see a comment with all its vowels removed, you’ll know it raised our hackles for some reason, and the poster could be in line for a ban. Cheers.
