Damn, we've got a lot of Asians around here. Why does it only make up 16%, though?

I was just wondering because there's this piece of code on every TIGS forum page: <!-- Start Quantcast tag --> <script type="text/javascript"> _qoptions={ qacct:"p-8bTdbYIATHgAs" }; </script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://edge.quantserve.com/quant.js"></script> <noscript> <img src="http://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-8bTdbYIATHgAs.gif" style="display: none;" border="0" height="1" width="1" alt="Quantcast"/> </noscript> <!-- End Quantcast tag -->
And since we had this nasty worm before which injected code into the forum, I'm quite a bit suspicious of such things.

No, it's good you brought this up muku. I don't think anyone can ever be too safe when it comes to things like this. It would be nice to hear that this is all intentional from Derek or something; I'm not a fan of mysteries in situations like this.
