There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

You should try a Balut.
Have to admit that is something I've not heard of before. Looked it up. Some of the pictures are enough to convince me that I'm now sorry to know about it.....

If you ever see a cute little bartender sitting at the end of the bar eating a balut, it is something you can never un-see.
I have seen a lot worse, but that is still in the top 40 of things I wish I could un-see. After seeing that you have to go back to the transient quarters and bleach your eye balls.

Not really a sick mind... you just have not been to enough survival training. When the food runs out, everything is on the menu. I would prefer smaller mammals or reptiles, but a giraffe would not be a bad choice. It would come way before a balut. At least it would be fresh meat, and not one that people normally keep as pets.

Don't ask me how I know this, but some say it just 'tastes like chicken' (only they're usually people who really don't know) However, like most of the larger African animals (and our Ozzie Kangaroo, for that matter - but funnily enough, Emu does taste a bit like chicken, albeit a sorta gamey & oily chook that someone cooked in a used bed-pan!
) it's pretty rich and a bit 'gamey' - so if you like venison, you'd probably be able to eat giraffe, only don't over-cook it or it'll taste and chew like a well used and over-cooked truck tire! Actually, I think I'd prefer eating the truck tire to eating over-cooked giraffe, or kangaroo! 
And here's a great recipe... well, a sorta OK recipe, anyway, for Groundhog &/or Galah - but if you follow this recipe, it's pretty likely that you will have the bit of a headache mentioned and the odd taste in your mouth the next morning:
Yeah, I just happen to have one handy...
altho to be honest, this one did start out as a way to cook Galah's, a noisy, rude, pink & grey bird that we've got lots of Down Under (see the pic below - they might look cute, but when there's a million of them chewing your stuff cos they've stripped all the trees bare & now they're crapping on everything too, you really just wanta shoot them... but they're damned near bloody bullet proof, aren't they, those bleedin' Galah's! nojoke )You'll need a large stock-pot full of...
While I mostly agree with this, I still draw the line at tripe! For me, it's just not happening, not even with white sauce & onions!!
If I have to (and I have!) I'll eat grasshoppers and caterpillars (without chocolate coating), lizards, worms, birds, even Galah's (but braised please, I'm too old to use the recipe above these days...
) and all sorts of other things, like insects and small mammals, birds, &/or reptiles, raw or cooked, but there's waayyy too many traumatic childhood memories for me to ever stomach tripe again! 
(Didja see what I did there, hey?? 
)And I generally don't waste perfectly good brains by eating them, either. There's barely enough there to properly tan the hide of whatever they came out of anyway!
