In the Announcements by bmilder, where it usually says what day and when you posted it it says: 03-31-2006 until 05-01-2006. That tells me something. *is suspicious*

That is a set function in the vbulletin software of the admin cp. All that means is that the announcement will stay visible on the board for 1 month at which time on the 1st of May, it will automatically be gone, unless it is removed sooner by an admin or Ben, or in this case, whoever is the owner.

I think we are being had, and I might have proof! I think i might anyway.

I found a thread in the archives(see below) about an April Fools bit they did in '03. On post #18 Dunedain gives a link, which in the following post says something about Entmoot changes, and when it is clicked on brings me to the newest anouncement here. I don't know anything about the inner workings of Entmoot, but this seems rather odd to me. Ummm. Is this just a coincidence, or.... proof?

We'll still be a Tolkien board (not that I've posted in the Tolkien forums in recent memory ), and we're unshakably close-knit.

Ben, you did put on a good run. Thanks for creating the board in the first place, plus governing and maintaining it all these years. That's a lot of hard work that's definately paid off, but I'm glad you'll be free from the obligation to us now.

Hey, it's April Fool's Day. Let's spread some rumors.
I'll go first...
Word on the street is that. . . Troll's Bane bought the board.

LOL!

I heard it was the hobbit sisters. They are going to change ol' Treebeard to a pic of Monk, Merry, and Pippen having tea tobether. Oh, and the board will no longer be green...it will be pink.

We wouldn't do that! Then there wouldn't be the "Entmoot" anymore. It would be the... Obsessive Hobbit Forum... No. That's just not right. Anyway, Monk wouldn't go to a picnic if you paid him! And we both dislike pink.

I heard it was... BeardofPants! And she's going to force all of us to remove their pants and add them to her growing collection!

RUMOURS THAT THE OWL will be the new logo are spreading - already paris is rioting .... London is too busy partying to care and in new york and Njersey ... no one sems to give a flying F... (...)

Lotesse's first edict has been that BB be banned to take a holiday ... seagull reports are coming in that BB is angrily putting his feet up on a deck chair in acapulco with a long straw surrounded by seductively hip-swaying dancing girls and ...er .... reports seems to stop there ...

Reports of BB having a wide grin and taking it easy in a spirit of peace are - at this momment...

*anchors turns to camera and gives viewers serious news look*

... at this point -

UNCONFIRMED! ...



*cuts to to "F" roll ... * ...


--- ** end of breaking news*** ----

He still wouldn't go. He doesn't drink tea anyway.

*looks down* AAH!

That was great, BB!

I know, Lief! I wouldn't be surprised at ALL if he was really doing it, except for the timing ...


With the ENTMOOT T-SHIRTS AND MUGS (hint, hint) thing coming up, I thought they might pay for the monthly fees, so maybe he'd keep the old place, although I know he's kinda ready to move on ...

Oh, really? Well, I heard that the one you'd least expect, ElvenLover, is buying the board and having the worm song in her sig playing 24/7!

Nobody was supposed to say anything. I specifically stated, "keep it under wraps" but I see now Butterbeer already spilled the beans. And someone has told you, too, BoP? Who was it? I demand to know who ratted. We have an informer amongst us. Heads will roll! There will be hell to pay! I'm crackin' skulls!
