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 ...

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?

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....

Shit happened at RDF - was there more?
It's a piece of piss to be cowiz, but it's not cowiz to be a piece of piss. Or something like that.
