As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

April Fools' Day

Post by pdsf »

I have often enjoyed April Fools' jokes. Let's see if folks can post some funny ones this year here. I know Google stopped doing theirs out of respect for COVID's victims so [mention]ManOnTime[/mention], [mention]watchpalooza[/mention] and [mention]TheJohnP[/mention] - please delete if you feel it's inappropriate.

I got this in my email box this morning:

Almost got me :lol: . Auburn hired Bosie State’s coach and the April Fool was about growing blue grass for the stadiums. Auburn has a big ag program so there was another tie in there.
