Sometimes I just need a little reassurance that I’m not losing my mind.

The drop down menu for forum jumping used to read just “MPSIMS” and not “Mindless Pointless Stuff I Must Share (MPSIMS)”, right? RIGHT!?

I just noticed that too, just now, not when I was surfing earlier this morning, so I came to ATMB to check it out… I can’t tell if the forum description on the main page changed or not.

I prefer the line, “You’re not crazy. You’re two of the sanest people I know.”
