Is there really a big connection with MP deleting his tweet and then the forum being down?

What is your connection to the band, Scotty? I always knew you had one but I never bothered to ask until now.

I started off with doing the tourography for MP, but it's grown from there - maintaining the MP.FAQ (which hasn't been updated in eons, I know), DT-izing cover art for when they do a cover live, interviewing MP on occasion for the fan clubs, designing the last 3 tourbooks and putting together the packaging for many of MP's side projects (all his tributes as well as the LTE live stuff). I think that's it...
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

MP Tourography? Hell, I think I'm as familar with your work as you are.

And the fact that there has yet to be an anouncement makes my blood boil.

JLB is beginning his Broadway career, as well as becoming an Arctic explorer.  They asked Billy Joel to replace him, but Joel said that'd be like Charlie Dominici fronting a progressive metal band.  Therefore, Mike Portnoy is now the lead singer of Dream Theater.  Don't worry, though; David Prater will trigger all his vocals.  Ringo Starr will fill-in temporarily on drums.  They asked Neil Peart, but he had never heard of Dream Theater.  Jordan has also replaced himself in the band with the official Jordan app, which simulates perfectly everything the real Jordan would do.  JP completed his transformation into a bear and was subsequently slain by Stephen Colbert.  JMX will now handle all music and lyric writing duties -- expect to hear nothing but bass in the mix.  Kevin Moore, after finally tracking down and marrying the SDV girl, is now happy again and has rejoined the band.  He plays with more feeling than the Jordan app, but is not as technically proficient.  Fans are divided over who's better, but the real Jordan is too busy at Wizard School to care.  Derek Sherinian continues to get laid.   

THAT'S THE BIG NEWS!!!

Bravo. You probably missed a couple of memes, but nailed almost everything you included. Really elevated it above just wrote listing of the jokes, as so many would do. Good pacing and length. Five star post.

MP is probably in front of his computer right now with tabs open to various DT fan sites throughout the world and laughing.
This.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.
