Subject: April Fools 2009!

Written By: Tam on 04/01/09 at 11:14 am

Obviously we couldn't do anything major this year, what with the server acting up, even when I wasn't doing anything! ;D

So last night at around 10:30pm EST, I made Penguin Board Games and Writing on the Walrus... disappear!

Of course, some of you gathered that was the joke, and I thank you for not overly freaking out.
And Bobo and I switched our profiles to look like we were the other person....

Only a few of you chose to send me PM's about the loss of certain boards!
70+ messages wasn't bad to walk into this morning!!! ;D ;D


APRIL FOOLS

I actually wanted to make all of the boards go away and just leave system news, but Bobo thought better about it!

At any rate, have a great day everyone!

I'm pretty sure I haven't typed anything about math in about a year...except for what I typed this past week in LTE...

I specifically said Math makes my head explode in LTE....http://www.inthe00s.com/index.php?topic=1313.msg1958807#msg1958807
