Not completely surprised, but it still hurts a bit. :(

You're not the first to think that in the last hour. And as it so happens, someone on this very forum has done several such parodies relating to forum drama. I suspect all we have to do is wait ... :eddy:

What age does this guy think we all are? Six?

So, who can actually see the message and why can't I? I only get "Sorry but this board is currently unavailable", not the admin message?

That's what I get as well. Could it be a cache issue?

Yeah, I can't get in anymore either. I tried logging out and back in again, but it wouldn't let me.

So many new members! I can't keep up with the posts. Can somebody condense all this and tell me later, I gotta go and lie down, tomorrow it's gonna snow here and I have to be all rested up for shoveling. Although there seems to be need for shoveling at RDF as well....

CJ, you seem to be poster non grata on the front page. Your second comment has been nuked as well, even though others are still in situ.

Shit happened at RDF - was there more?
