    If you are on Santa’s naughty list are you automatically on Sinterklaas’ naughty list? If Sinterklaas spends 11 months of the year in Spain why doesn’t he have more of a tan? Is Sinterklaas an eccentric billionaire? There are some questions that it’s simply best not to ask the Dutch when Sinterklaas comes to town. These two guides ask them anyway:

    I can't really put my finger on what it is that has changed and why so many people have left but things do have seem to become slightly harder to use and find on the forums now.
    Take for example the simple fact that the forum content is now hidden below events news. It seems like a strange choice. Plus forum areas are not divided up the way they used to be which makes finding things at a quick glance more difficult.  less

    Even you seem to be able to use it ok - so it shouldn't be that much of a problem for anyone else.
     
    I've had a lot of problems when trying to copy/paste stuff into post and some strang linking going on but I don't think I've had as much trouble as everyone else.
