Challenge #1 --
Difficulty: Have the username randomzied from regular forum posters, pulling in their post counts and emulating their current signatures.

You might need to include just enough HTML to embed an image that's dynamically generated by a script somewhere. Although given the amount of stuff it allows, I still think it's probably possible to get CS to accept Javascript in a post.

As far as the tags thing goes, you guys do realize that you're trying to bring down a site you spend quite a bit of time reading, right?

Err.. that part wasn't supposed to be there. I was tinkering and didn't take the comment out.

Man, CS sucks so bad. It lets you use its own element ids in your posts, so you can get the javascript to do wacky things..

Went ahead and created a userscript page for my GM version. Community Server isn't very good at being a version control system either.. :-P
