Please, just give Marmel the straight dope about this issue.
Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Somebody here (a while ago) gave me the link to that site.
Hard to explain what it is.....they have forums the following forums of dicussion: General Questions (any factual questions) Great Debates (not factual questions) Cafe Society (for arts and entertainment topics) IMHO (not sure how to describe it, sort of a catch all area not covered by other places) MPSIMP (Mundane, Pointless Stuff I Must Post, pretty self explanatory) The Pit (sort of like the FOFC fight club, but with a purpose. Anything goes.) The place is a spin off from Cecil Adams columns from a Chicago newspaper, I believe. Worth checking out if you have never been there. You can kill hours and hours and hours of time there.

for those who are curious, the site is back up.
I guess a water pipe broke at the Chicago Times and soaked the server, shutting the place down for a few days. Go figure.
