The real funny bit is the politics of volunteering to make a private company profit. Never got my head around that.

It has all gone a bit 1'984' around here lately, I do wonder if trained professional mods should be the order of the day.

Even if it is an April 1st joke, a lot of it still rings true in the context of the site.

It's weird how the mods over there still have the power to remove posts that are calling it an April Fools joke.

Its an Aprils fools joke, and also an utterly idiotic thing to do. If those mods really thought that was a good idea then they are too stupid to do the job.

It's a bit like watching one of those pranks where a woman pretends she's been cheating on her fiance and it turns out he's been riding her sister and ma.

To be fair, it's one of those nutjob forums (like cycling) where stuff like that seems plausible.
