[I'm With Stupid]

Remember everyone, you don't have to be friends with someone to send them a message on Facebook.

It does look like that all sigs have been disabled.

So that's what he's been doing is it.

Well if they bring it back up, maybe we'll still be able to mass pm folks?

I tried mass PM but you are only allowed to send to like 10 folk at a time or something.

And you stopped talking to me on msn ages ago!

Besides. Wouldn't be surprised if PM's had to be vetted by our new insect overlords as well now.

I'm sorry love. Message me again? I need a shoulder to cry on, and yours looks comfortable.

Hm my MSN is being silly it seems, I have sent you a PM on here.

[I'm With Stupid]

Fuck!

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!

Josh on the phone to Richard (in my imagination).

J: "I had to do it. People were going to post porn, the staff turned on us, I've pulled the plug."

R: "I understand, Josh. It had to be done. This has been a long time coming, for years now. We've never been happy with that place, and the people.... ugh. I think all the bad eggs have been cleared out, when the new system comes up most will come back and we'll have a lot of new people too. Oh, and thanks for telling the staff not to contact me, they are beneath me."

J: "There's a few posts coming up on the main site."

R: (voices goes cold) "Wipe them out. All of them."

This may be closer to the truth than you might want to believe.

ilovelucy made me belly-laugh with this:

"There's no point in acting all surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display in your local planning department on Alpha Centauri for fifty of your Earth years, so you've had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it's far too late to start making a fuss about it now."

Like machine gunning a prisoner in handcuffs.

Be careful what you wish for! Have you seen any of Tigger's Hitler videos here?

Update: We had intended to leave the forum fully-funtioning for 30 days, but due to the inappropriate posts by some users and moderators, we have decided to leave the forum in a read-only state. You can still download and archive your posts and private messages, but the ability to enter new posts has been disabled. It's unfortunate that it had to come to this. We know that change can be difficult and sometimes frightening, but we are all very excited about the direction of the website and the future.

There you go - all over in the space of a couple of hours, as I thought it would be.

[I'm With Stupid]

There's a surprise.

Fuck!

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!

Really. Then may be it's just my usergroup which has been disabled. Can anyone else confirm if they are getting this message or not?

EDIT: Oh ignore that. I was refreshing the same error. The site has gone read only, I see now.
Shame. Such a shame.
