If it was a drawn out April fools joke, that just sucks and is lame.
Don't see how it would generate more traffic as no new people would bother coming to a forum right before shutting doors.
So the only option that makes sense to me is the the third one.
Traffic to the site more than doubled in June to 1,700,000 page requests. Older members who hadn’t been active for years returned.

We didn’t do it for that reason, but it happened nevertheless

Well, I copied a bunch of statistics from the Ukraine thread in case this was the end, so at least now I have a back up for all that info that is in that thread.

Why the fuck am i able to see this post?  I had blocked you permanently through my computer (not a function of this site).  Something with the maintenance shutdown must have reversed this..?

Honestly, I don’t know.

Try again with your blocking activation and if it doesn’t work, I will look into it.

Don't ask me, I have nothing to do with any of that. Ask a moderator.

To be fair, you did have something to do with him blocking you.

Seriously. Be a man like me and just stick around until you're the last motherfucker in the room.
