• 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.

From Wikipedia - Your Educational Moment!

There are several theories about the origin of the word hooliganism. It may originate from the surname of a fictional rowdy Irish family in a song of the 1890s.

Clarence Rooks, in his 1899 book, Hooligan Nights, claimed that the word came from Patrick Hoolihan (or Hooligan), an Irish bouncer and thief who lived in the London borough of Southwark.

Another writer, Earnest Weekley, wrote in his 1912 book Romance of Words, "The original hooligans were a spirited Irish family of that name whose proceedings enlivened the drab monotony of life in Southwark, 1890's.

There have also been references made to a 19th century rural Irish family with the surname Houlihan who were known for their wild lifestyle, then later evolving into O'Holohan. Another theory is that the term came from a street gang in Islington named Hooley.

Yet another theory is that the term is based on an Irish word, houlie, which means a wild, spirited party.

So I am quite confused as I did not know Doc was Irish! :yikes: Just goes to show you learn something new every day! :D
