Smack upside the head? I completely agree. But we shouldn't act so shocked when shitmouse kids act like shitmouse kids.

I'm trying to find an analogy that doesn't sound like wild hyperbole here, but seriously, you're setting up an epilepsy support forum. A visual medium, for an illness whose symptoms are often a result of specific visual stimuli. Wouldn't a risk assessment be the first fucking thing you do? Wouldn't the potential for big flashing images, images which anyone who has spent 5 minutes on the internet has no doubt encountered, be one of the first things you take steps to PREVENT?

It's like putting up a catwalk at a nightclub and then blaming the beer company when your drunken patrons fall off because you were too much of a dumbarse to think to put a safety railing on it.
