I am a web designer myself, but I want to know what program or how Arvin added a login feature and things like that to the site. If anyone knows, please let me know. Thanks.

It's on the bottom of the site. Just click on "Powered by Drupal" and it will take you to their site.

I thought the site was run by elves and Arvin just told them what to do...

Its a combo of Drupal, Arvin's mad skillz (yes its speeled leek theat), and the Wii's power to make everything better.

Are you kidding me? I contribute like nothing anymore! I'm way to busy. I'm also starting to lose interest in the Wii.

*LOL* This is an interesting thread so I thought I'd chime in.

The site is in fact powered by Drupal. But Drupal itself is nothing if you don't know what you're doing. It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get this thing running the way I wanted it, and even then there are problems all the time :)

As for the off track PS3 discussion. Meh... I still haven't seen much of a reason to get it. If anything I would pick up a 360 Arcade Bundle. It's cheaper than the Wii and some places are throwing in a hard drive attachmenet for free so you're basically getting a full fledged 360, and with the dashboard update coming soon it'll have tonnes of new features including HD netflix streaming in the US. Microsoft is putting a LOT into it right now.
