The font ain't new, someone did it about a year or so ago, you need it to view the rankings like that. I don't have it anymore since I formatted my hdd, but other people may.

There have been no font changes to the PDE in a long time.

Really, I could have sworn that the text "world records" wasn't in Perfect Dark font before.

That someone was ME! I designed the current PDE layout. Ages ago. We had a thread about it way back. The font you're looking for is "Perfect Dark (BRK)".

OK, Ifigured it out. You can only see the words in the Perfect Dark font if you have the font installed on your computer. It looks really good but what is the point of that when most members most likely do not have it installed?

Because it looks really good for those who do have it installed, and those who don't don't lose anything. It's not like we have a "you can not view this page as you do not have the right font" message. It all still works. Just an added bonus :)

Wait, you've been visiting the PDE w/o having the Perfect Dark (BRK) font installed????  You bastard!  Leave this community now and never, ever return.  Anyone who wants to view the webpage MUST have this font installed.

P.S. Hit Alt+F4 now to see a special message in my post!

Yes, also, Zeebo made a big post about getting that font before the new page design went online.  So everyone who's not a n00btacular n00b has been enjoying the cool font since forever.

So, stop being all n00bish by going here: www.spacefonts.8m.com/font8.htm and extracting the ttf file to C:\windows\fonts.

n00btacular n00b...

that one should go right up there with "whoarding" as terms of Ngamer's genius.  well, not really, I actually just said that for effect... but still, it was a good one.  At least deserving of being included in the subset "quasi-terms of Ngamer's genius".

In conclusion, it'll be more like a song
and less like it's math
when you pull on my hair
and bite me like that

doot doo doo

Done.

*muah*  Bearder, have you been using baby powder lately?  It tastes so soft, and smooth tonight... I only hope I can gain favor in your eyes by kissing your ass so much.  I mean I know you don't like me as it stands, or have any respect for me or anything.  Basically I'm just a little bitch here at the elite, and I don't know why I stick around.  I mean Bearder doesn't even like me.  Jon, oh Jon Bearder, why can't you love me!!!!!!!!  I kiss your ass!  EVERY chance I can!

But look where I am.  Nowhere.  I am nowhere!  According to one of the most respected members in elite history, not to mention most well liked by ... ... um... um... Yeah.

:(  I'm so sad.

Mostly, this sadness stems from not having a giant gay picture in my sig like all the cool people.

In case you couldn't tell, which is obviously the case, Bearder was using the term n00btacular n00b very sarcastically.  In other words, he was poking fun at all of the people (i.e. you) who would use similiar terms in seriousness.  Notice no actual new members have posted in this topic... so not only was Jon not seriously calling anyone an actual 'n00b', but he also wasn't directing it at any people who accurately fit the description of 'n00b'.  It was a combination of jokingly ostracizing people who have been around and weren't aware of the font changes with also successfully sounding like a common, run of the mill, nothing better to do with their time n00b basher.  This dual-faceted aspect of his joke is what, imo, made it great, which more than warranted my post, which was somewhat sarcastic in itself.  Correct me if I'm wrong, someone.

I know intricate jokes with this many levels of intelligence involved can be hard for someone like you to understand (derr.... goatse + penis = teh lol!), but please try to bear with us.

Oh crap, I missed my daily crying session.  OMG, GTG!

In case you couldn't tell, you are gay.

Go listen to Dave Matthews and cry to yourself because girls don't like you.
