I open the site and see:

‘The Internet is not for sissies.’ -- Paul Vixie

It's always important to make a good first impression or whatever.

I think it's achieving the intended goal of gatekeeping the site to 50+ year-old graybeards with narcissistic tendencies and a persecution complex which have decanted over the decades into a nasty brew of unfiltered bitterness.

Best example was "dangerous" software that no one even needs an alternative for and among them were GNOME and KDE...
