X.C.P.U.S sucks because you can't even make suggestions about problems on the site without getting banned, and they spam you for months with some kind of "linkback" crap that doesn't even work, is broken and would be useless even if it worked. To not get this spam you have to opt-out of everything, not just the spam.
Tom's has gone downhill a bit too, but part of that is all the crazy forum engine changes. I wish it were 2005 here again.
