Registration/Stylesheet issues

I ran into two problems with the registration process:

1) "Arch" is not an accepted answer, yet it is correct. The guys on IRC seem to think there's nothing wrong with this. Pretty bad attitude regarding an issue like this IMO.
2) When Javascript is enabled, the "Register" button is disabled and the form can't be submitted, even when all fields are filled in correctly.

Then when I went to post this thread, I saw another problem, that it seems just about every web designer makes these days. The post entry box specifies a yellow background colour. OK. It doesn't specify any text colour to go with that, which means it falls back to the user's settings. If your settings happen to specify a light colour, you can't see what you're typing.
One of the golden rules of theming: If you set a background colour, set a foreground colour to go with it, and vice-versa. Never rely on user/default settings.

For what it's worth:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100308 Iceweasel/3.5.8 (like Firefox/3.5.8)
Debian Sid, kernel 2.6.32-3-686

The distro's NAME is printed in the question itself... And if you want to be pedantic about it, the distro isn't 'Arch', that's an abbreviation.

@ 1.
The question the register form asks is a classical one. I've even read a 4 page essay about it

You are suposed to, as mentioned abowe, to answer with the name that is in the question itself.

btw, we also have this wonderfull graphical tutorial that I made a couple of years ago:

Personally, I'd rather be back in Hobbiton.
