Personally, I prefer sites to not be bogged down by all this social crap.

I didn't even realise that you needed that. That's bullshit.

Why I would care? Because 1) I'm a web developer, and 2) social networks gaining a foothold into unrelated websites is a disturbing precedent.

Making some time to look at the site now.
- CSS error: "auto" is not a valid value for the property "padding"
- You use the Prototype JavaScript library. I'm not sure it's a good idea, though this opinion is mostly painted by the fact that it does user agent sniffing, which is a big NO-NO.
- A meta tag for anything else than the used charset is unnecessary. Search engines don't look at it unless there's nothing on your page to look at.
- I see lots of div elements and little use of HTML elements that have semantic meaning. Where are your header elements? Why don't you use lists instead of a series of links?
- Part of your lay-out uses tables to achieve the lay-out of sign-in choices.
- You use the b element inappropriately. If you want to emphasise something, use the em element. If you want to mark up an entity, use the i element. If you want to style something without semantic meaning on its own, use the span element.
- Your link elements have XHTML self-closing slashes, which is not appropriate if you're using HTML.

Sure, but then you're mixing content with presentation. The table element is for tabular data, not a lay-out grid. Now that the inline-block CSS property is widely supported, there's not much reason to prefer tables any more.

The em element has semantic meaning. The b element doesn't; it's purely presentational. So if you're boldening text because you want to emphasise them, make this clear with the em element. This is a key point. HTML is about semantics.
Looking at the text again, "recrr" would probably be styled with the i element, and "blue stars" is boldened for no semantic reason.
Isn't it possible to tell Rails to knock off the XHTML binge?

Don't worry; if I do that, it's only in the axe.

| Oh, and I agree about FF6, though I guess if there's any reason to include FF3US on there it's because of the translation different from later versions of FF6 we saw in the US. Not really a big deal, I suppose. |
If we're going to think that way FF3US should be included because it's the only version that has the music and sound effects intact.
Didn't FFVI for the PSX have the same translation as the SNES release?

It sounds like those people have too much money and/or too little patience.
