:lol: I won't hold you to it dude.

Hopefully Vain is right, and common sense will prevail. Unfortunately, I won't find out 'til Monday when I'm back at work.

If it is an Aprils Fools joke. It's a sad one... and not very funny...

Though I did think there was something wrong with it... I mean the arrogance of it is just appalling if it was true.

Not on my watch! (if you'll excuse the pun)
I'm with the guys on this one, if it means having an administrator forced on us then I'd prefer freedom of speech over official censorship.

Man, if we're gonna do an April Fool's joke, why not say we're gonna tax white gold dollars?

Damn - I had this whole April Fool's thing planned out too - I was going to post a paragraph about how SRD had suspended writing Fatal Revenant indefinitely. Jay beat me to it.

On any other day, I may Fall for this Insanity.
But not today.

I am not sure if this is a joke: I would have thought jay-heh may be more creative than this, not to mention funnier.

Although, it does seem to have us all up in arms.

Not to mention the fact, that it is not something SRD would do. If this is "The Official Message Board" of SRD, no webmaster, unless that webmaster is SRD himself, can make the kind of "request" that jay mentioned.

Funny one folks. Joke's up.

Now if they'd done this on June 10th, there'd be some cause for alarm.

If this is an April Fools, it's not so good. If it's true, however, it's pretty funny.

If It was true, I guess Mirrin would have to change his Avatar.

If this is a joke - heh.

But in case it isn't:

...Well, I will not tolerate that petulant, snivelling little :x being an administrator of this site. Jay and Alynna founded the site off their own backs as fans, for fans, and Vain set up the newest incarnation of the forum in his own time. These people have voluntarily given of their own time and money to benefit the rest of us, and I take umbrage at the suggestion that the site they (and all of us) created with blood and sweat should fall prey to the whims of someone who hasn't earned the privilege. Bugger the official status. I love the Watch, not the association with SRD's official site. I would much rather we cut loose and be independent again than tolerate this. If we do continue with this ludicrous course, I intend to resign my membership in disgust; I will not be party such a travesty.
