Forest River Issues Cease and Desist to FRF - they’re trying to shut us down!

Here is a classic from Three years ago..

April Fools ? PM from Janet to me...

Ok, I know this was shared with me privately- but dammit, this isn't cool. Janet H PM'd me late last night. I've been stewing since.

We haven't figured out costing just yet, but we think we are going to base it on average posts per day. You get a first post free, but then after that- it is on a sliding scale from 15 cents to 3 cents once you cross 20 messages a day. Don't tell TURBS and OldCoot, but we're going to charge a stipend for those Phat Phrogs members- they really tax the servers with their mindless drivel.





Anyway, we'd like to have you back posthaste. I know you've been reticent to coming back, but we're really in a bind so I've upgraded your account back to the moderator group.





Thanks,


Janet





I'm literally speechless and am frothing with anger. This isn't cool.

My apologies, Bob.

My need for April Fools Day jokes runs deep. The year after I graduated high school and moved out on my own, I moved about 150 miles from where I grew up. On April 1st, my mother called me panicked and said she thought she was having a heart attack. She described the symptoms amd all. She finally broke character when I told her I was conferencing in 911!

I’m pretty certain I went to a bathroom and cried.

And, I didn’t answer her calls on April 1 for a good 10 years.

So, my apologies that y’all have to deal with the collateral damage from my joke.

Cheers and happy April Fools Day.

No apologies needed for me. I fell for it and loved every second of it. Nothing wrong with a classic joke every now and then...

April Fool

Love the forum, best education for the dollar out there. Love my Sunseeker MBS, and could teach FR a few things about their product, if they would listen.

WOW! I cannot believe some of the responses. It's April 1st and this is funny.

I heard WB was going to sell to Trump and he would make FR Great Again.

If you realize what day it is before you see post #1 and you start from from the beginning (post #1), and then read through the thread, it is very funny.
