On top of the existing vBullesh** woes of crappy templates with px metric fonts and lack of semantics being a giant middle finger to users, now we have illegible colour contrasts and so knee deep in some sort of rubbish scripttardery that just TRYING to write a post crashes Firefox?
I mean seriously, dark cyan on black? White on Cyan? Does the term "WCAG" ring ANY bells, or has some artsy fartsy type who knows dick-all about accessibility taken over things?
No offense guys, but this "move" is getting more and more dreadful by the moment.
Of course -- again no offense, eh... screw it, offense intended -- looking at the website of this "Vintage computer federation" reeks so badly of developer ignorance and ineptitude in regards to code efficiency or accessibility minimums, it quite clearly screams whoever made that has ZERO business making websites in the first place.

Naturally it's turdpress, so a giant middle finger to visitors on the accessibility front and massive code bloat aren't exactly a shocker... in the classic "If you don't know what's wrong with this:"
Kind of way... which if you don't know what's wrong with that, do the world a favor, back the **** away from the keyboard, and STOP making websites. Same goes for that cyan on black which doesn't even meet WCAG 2 AA for large fonts, much less the ridiculous goofy thin-glyph webfont in absurdly undersized pixel metrics.
Let's just say there's a reason I went silent for so long, this iteration of the forums and the pile of trash site it's been moved to is you folks flipping a giant middle-finger to me as a user... hence my response in kind!
