I was looking at the screen then back at the url then at the screen
I didn't know what the heck was going on. I went down to the 7.3 forum and I said well 7.3 duracrap just isn't going to cut it. Somebody is giving us all a complex.

My only real gripe with this AF joke issue is that since my username has been changed (at least to some degree in the system), I'm apparently NOT able to receive PM's because I am "not a known user" (at least at the level where PM's are processed).
Joking around can be funny, good, and maintain a valuable degree of levity, and I certainly enjoy that myself... but when it starts hampering productivity and functionality for the recipients, perhaps it's gone too far.

The "joke" has also changed any links that contained "our special words" to "their special words", rendering the links useless, too.
For instance, try the link here:

Good point, Marv.
Apparently, the intended fun of the joke was more important to the Admins than maintaining a properly functioning site (still assuming it was a deliberate joke).
