A word of caution
Hey folks,
This message goes out to those suffering from multiple personality disorder:
I sincerely empathize with your plight, however in the interest of keeping my feline workload to a strict minimum, please refrain from creating as many avatars as there are bones in Chinese fish. Also, while I understand that your answers may appeal to your other avatars on a surprisingly personal level, again, please exercise restraint by not up-voting them. Fail to abide by these rules and your bank may get robbed.
TLDR: don't up-vote your own answers.

March 14th - Randomize question
Hey folks,
A new 'randomize question' feature was implemented today (right beneath My Points in your profile box). Incidentally, this may have caused some of the text on your screens to shift. If that's the case, try these two options:
- Control + F5
- Clean up your cache browser
If neither of these options solves the problem, send me a PM.

March 9th - Questions now worth 5 points!
Hi folks,
A couple of points-related changes have been implemented:
- Each question now earns you 5 points, with a possible 'crit' chance for 10 points.
- Logging in once a day nets you 1 point.

March 7th - Answers of the Day tracking page
Hey folks,
We've just implemented an 'Answers of the Day' page, where you can view all past Answers of the Day. To access the page, click on the two red, sideways arrows next to the Answer of the Day.
Unfortunately, we lost quite a few (read: most) of them, so if you remember one of your answers being selected, feel free to send me the link to it by private message.

Feb 2nd - INTERRUPTION Feb. 3rd from 10:00 to 14:00
Hello All,
The Answers board will be offline Friday, February 3rd, as we upgrade the site to a harder, better, faster, stronger server, for a duration of four hours, from 10 in the morning to 2 in the afternoon.
Sincerely,
B.C.
Jan. 30th - A call to reason and respect
Dear members,
As some of you may have witnessed over the past week or so, there have been cases of harassment going on between users of the site. We understand that it is impossible to get along with everyone (especially on the internet), however we ask that you treat others with equal measures of respect. If you find certain users to be insufferable and insulting, do not respond to them publicly and report whichever messages you find offensive. They will be dealt with swiftly.
Also note, however, that we will be equally severe in our response to those who report abuse just for the sake of it, or believe threats and blackmail are effective tools to getting other members banned.
The Answers board belongs to all, not to a select few.
Regards,
Business Cat
