Just seen over in the RHP closed Beta update thread in site ideas that Russ is considering banning April Fools day pranks due to a spate of hate posting over at another chess site. Jeez this place sucks worse.

Gooster,

Your link is from 2001 nice try though! 😛 🙂

You did manage to remind everyone it was April fools day though. 🙂 (Spoil Sport) 😛

I believe for the prank to work you actually have to believe it. 😛 🙂

Decent try I guess!

To know the link related to a post from 2001 you must have taken the bait and followed the link. (Hence falling for the prank).

We can agree to disagree on that one. 🙂

Keep in mind you are talking to King of copy or cut and paste. 🙂

The thread number dive gave was beyond 199000, so the age you gave seems implausible.

@divegester: I never read anything of that kind in the closed beat testing thread...

I know you see yourself as chain-yanker in charge, but this is unacceptable.
