April Fools (Sorry for those I scared ;) )

Archive: 21 posts


Hey guys and gals. I'd first like to say that this has been one amazing ride. The forums and site have grown from a little hole in the ground, to a site that brings in a LOAD of people. With that comes attention from other sites and media groups. One such group is UGO, which have recently shown interest in the site.

As some of you know, this site costs a load to run. Without the server package we have right now, the site would probably be down most of the time. We get hammered by hackers trying to take the site down. Any ways, despite the very much appreciated donations, they still won't probably ever be able to recover the server fees and VBulletin fees that I've put towards the site.

Getting back to UGO.com, they have offered me an offer I can't refuse, and have decided to go along with receiving $1500 for them to take over the site. With that though, they will rebrand the site and start everything from scratch. Forum posts will be lost, member names will be deleted, and they will build things from the ground up.

For those who know me, this next part will explain further why I had to do this. I don't want UGO to see this next part, so I'm using a hidden/cloaked tag on this next part that only members can see:

APRIL FOOLS GUYS AND GALS! This site is going nowhere! LOL! You guys rock! Sorry if I scared some of you, but I had to do this.

Feeew, glad that was not for real. First the best LBP news site (LBPlanetoid), then it would have been the best LBP forums!2009-04-01 18:22:00

Heheh, nice one. There is no April Fool's joke like one recieved from such an authoritative figure (especially one who dosn't post much) such as you. That made it very believeable.

Also, I have to thank you. By playing this trick on me I have just realized the other forum I frequent hasn't really been shut down
