Heh, who does it?

I really want to do it...If I had 5 hours.

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=runege...ne&group=0

I want to scream.
Actually... http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http:/...idator/1.1

You were validating it as HTML 4.1, when it's coded using XHTML 1.0 Transitional's standards and the doctype is also XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
I validate my sites whenever it's practical.

You just saved me 4 hours. Big Grin
I always validate, even if it's a small website.
But then again, I normally write pretty valid code, so it doesn't take long to fix the 2-3 errors that pop up.

Edit: Holy crap you source is messy..
It makes me want to cry... D:
I validate whenever possible. Unfortunately I have issues on some pages due to the feeds I pull that are not valid HTML/CSS.

If the site you are validating uses templates, its usually not to bad to make corrections. If you have 124 errors, 95% of them may be resolved with 2 corrections to a single template/file if you are lucky.
Errors cascade; one small error could cause a whole load more. Once I fixed 40 errors by changing a very small piece of HTML. Fix the easy things and you'll probably find it's not such a massive job.

Wow. My sites are actually error FREE?! I wanted to do Facebook's HTML but it kept going to the mobile site. >.<
Add an XHTML 1.0 transitional doctype and only 17 errors left. (though I frown on the transitional doctype it's OK for beginners like yourself)

I do it by the way, I rarely get an error since I code the right way from the beginning.
