The "Ban ugly people" story is fake, which it says quite clearly on the page itself.

As always, great content! Seeing the ACE Online concept art was an unexpected albeit it awesome surprise. ACE Online is one of my all-time favourite games, and also one of my first. The artist who made this piece is "Artfox". He had done nearly all the concept art for ACE Online (working for MasangSoft) up to about four years ago. Such work includes pieces like this: http://i26.tinypic.com/mw34n9.jpg
