origin of the term: plays in ancient greece, when a story was ended by lowering a model of zeus onto the stage(with a machine) to tell everybody what happened. therefore, 'god from machine'. has become synonymous with 'weak ending'.

fingerpointer200, do you even know what web 2.0 is? No one does. It doesn't mean anything. You might want to know that. deus ex machina (plural dei ex machina or dii ex machina or di ex machina or dei ex machinis or dii ex machinis or di ex machinis)
1. Any resolution to a story that does not pay due regard to the story's internal logic and that is so unlikely that it challenges suspension of disbelief, and presumably allows the author, director, or developer to end the story in the way that he or she desired (Ex. the protagonist waking up, realizing it was all a dream. 2nd Ex. another hero coming in out of an unexpected place to save someone at the last second).
" Oh, now I'm backed into a corner, and can't devise a way out. I could sure use a deus ex machina right about now!"
2. (literally) A god from the machine.
in case any one was wondering.

Everything works fine on my comp. I actually don't really mind the new site, as long as a few bugs get worked out.

Hi, I just registered only so I can complain about the Catbert changes you have introduced.Just how many negative comments does it take to make you put this website back the way it was?
This is really a truly NEGATIVE HORRIBLE experience now.
It is Tediously Difficult to navigate, Slow to load, not at all fun like the original site.
The previous version was much faster to load too.
We ALL propose you should abandon trying to "PIMP UP" this site up and go back to basics
Please strip out ALL that boring Flash Nonsense and KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)
By the way the GIF generator you are using produces terrible quantisation noise in between the main lines, it looks like you are using MS Paint? Yeugh! Pittooie!
