Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

    Well it doesn't have to stand for anything. But it does need a meaning.

    I've got it!! We make it stand for something in a language that we can make up ourselves and then translate that into English for anyone who asks!!

    How about we incorporate James Avery into the whole idea somehow? Oh, by the way, John Bowler and I saw James Avery playing Street Spirit after you left! We lied down in front of him, and he was very confused.

    James Avery shall be to .D.Z.X. what the Marx brothers are to Communism! Any further discussion of our revolutionary plans must be conducted in gibberish to conceal our intentions.

    You mean that shows up as a cube? ARGH! Stupid Windows... that displays happily as an interrobang on Linux. Hooray for interrobangs!

    I may be mistaken but I think interrabang is spelt as I have just spelt it. An Acronym ending in an interrabang is a hysterical idea! :D

    I still think we should invent a new language solely for the purpose of making the acronym make sense. Kinda. And it should be called "Revolutionspeak"!!

    <gibberish>We should make a whole nation out of this thing! Our official religion should be the cube thing, with James Avery as our god. And our national sport could be the game.</gibberish>

    GIMP = GNU Image Manipulation Tool.

    The GNU Image Manipulation Program or The GIMP is a bitmap graphics editor, a program for creating and processing raster graphics. It also has some support for vector graphics. The project was started in 1995 by Spencer Kimball and Peter Mattis and is now maintained by a group of volunteers; it is licensed under the GNU General Public License.

    Or, it could be your own thought and everyone's saying it because this is your dream in which the universe bends to the whim of your subconcious.
