Holy, thats a huge codebase. Github even shows no code/syntax hl for many cpp files because they are so big.

I fiddled around and searched for some not so well known sites in germany and the results were surprisingly good. But it looks really... aged.

Holy shit. Click on random .cpp file. Browser hangs. O_O
