Off topic taken away? People have been posting there all day. Also, apparently from what I read the colors/banner/graphics were changed for a while today as part of April fools? Somehow I didn't see that. The only joke that's on me is paying for VIP status and not getting it. Cough cough Matty cough... ;)
and those pesky board is shut down while managing the merger messages, shutting the whole board down :soapbox:

That layout from earlier in the day was one of the ugliest things I've ever seen, and I've seen some horrible stuff. Please don't ever do that again. One things for sure, Sumo is now officially underappreciated.

The Warpath is going to be partnering up with a major news outlet in the very near future! I'm not at liberty to discuss the details just yet, but there are some changes that will be taking place prior to the formal announcement of this new partnership that I need to discuss.
#1, as part of the agreement with this major media outlet, we have to shut down all off-topic discussions. Let's just say they are not a fan of the political discussions, too risque I guess you could say. So bye-bye parking lot.
#2, we're going to eventually be moving to a fee based membership model. Not sure of the specifics in regard to that either, I'm guessing around $20-$25 per year and it's looking like it will take effect just before the season kicks off. Unfortunately we cannot grandfather in original members, so this will be effective for everyone currently on the site as well as new members. Once we activate the system, anyone that does not pay for a membership will be automatically banned and their account & posts permanently deleted.
#3, under the terms of this new partnership we really have to clean up our act. Meaning a lot of bans are going to be handed out in the upcoming few weeks in order to clean house. I can't reveal the criteria for those that will be booted, but if all of a sudden you can't access the site, you'll know why.
I know this may come as a shock, but we believe these changes are for the greater good of the site, and once you see who the partnership is with and the content we'll be able to provide as a result, you'll be more than pleased.
We'll release more details in the coming weeks as they become available. Thanks everyone!
Is there a finacial aid packet/plan we can fill out, to keep us on until we can pay it all off. Since the ECONOMY and everything.

That's what the site looks like to the mods when we're doing mod stuff. You got a glimpse "behind the scenes" Lucky you

I always love the 4/1 grumps that get all ticked off... that's what keeps us going every year. :)
This year's was last minute and we basically came up with things on the fly. Usually we have something in mind ahead of time, this year 4/1 just kinda snuck up on us. Thanks to those that played along.
