The first time I went to their website, I left immediately because I got a big pop-up with 404. Tried again, same thing. Third time, I saw it was just a pop-up asking for then-optional registration.

Thankfully, they changed their pop-up design since then.

It’s one of those names, which I suspect seemed like a good idea in the pub at the time and which they should have jettisoned as soon as they sobered up.

I think it's okay, I would have voted against it, but they really need to be careful with their website design.
