    I'm cyber-squatting on your domain.

    My guess is that they're trying to avoid that as much as possible by launching the feature late on a Friday night.

    In times like these, I'm glad I'm the only one of me in the world. :)

    Also, assuming facebook users will be reading this thread, can someone PM me the method for hiding other people's quiz results? I'm sick of the stupid things, I don't give a shit which Futurama character anyone would be, and I can't immediately identify a method for hiding them under the options menu.

    There are about 30 of me... and man, most of them look like dorks.

    And Arnold, hover your cursor over the offending quiz thing on the page, and in the upper right corner of that quiz you'll see a little box that says "hide." Click it and you can choose to either hide that user, or hide that quiz when other people take it.

    You don't have to do anything if you don't want. Just makes it an easier way to have people get to your account.
