Here is the story:

I get home around midnight on April 1st and go to check email. As soon as I get to the computer, I see windows of AIM messages sending me 'condolences' for what is happening. I about drop my jaw. I initially thought that the website got hacked and someone put some kind of a crazy official story. I proceed to check my email and see more evidence pointing to this. Finally, I get on the site and realize that Oz is being the ringmaster and having a bit too much fun, so I decide to join in on APRIL FOOLS!

I hope this wasn't too bad of a joke :)

In truth, AF is doing extremely well right now. Look forward to seeing a lot more content and great new features - lots are in the works!
However, we do first have to move hosting locations, and there have been some delays on that front, as you might have guessed :)

It was not a good joke !!!

I was preparing tons of Pm to my contacts to give them my email adress and inviting them on another place on the web to meet, I was saving all my pics, saving all my texts, ...

I was soooo scared ....

Now, I'm so happy it's not true, I'm an AF-addict and a single day without AF would be a pain.

Long live AF :thumbsup:

I can't believe you! You're trying to hide us the truth: AF is going to die, and you're tying to make us hope it won't, arguing it's just a joke!!!!!! But I know it's true!
Don't steal us our cries! Don't disappoint our despair!

I'm glad I didn't fall for it. But it did get me a little worried that it could.

Anyways, if you do need some more donations Igor please let us know. Because I think you now know that a ton of people would donate.

This was a masterfully concocted "joke", but what about all those gullible saps who read the original post, started to cry, and never found out it was all a joke? They might delete their bookmarks and never come back again... Then what!? :iceslolan

(I'm so relieved though, now that it's over... :biggrin: )

I had it figured out when the mods' stories didn't match up, so I posted this. But then I got told off by Dave and he scares me, so I edited it.

I get the points for finding the evidence. Anyone else who tries to steal my evidence will get a bilateral arse kicking.

haha boy that one was right up there in humour, like only just behind having my arm burned by a soldering iron, and having my head held underwater to see how long i could last. which both happened on april fools. so yea, sorry for not finding it that funny, it was dulled down by how funny the rest of my week was.
