I've found it weird that no mods have said anything on the matter either.

I'm starting to think that we're getting punked here.

Edit: There are absolutely no mods online at all right now. Yup, we're getting punked.

Maybe they're trying to figure out what to do.  This is a highly sensitive situation, isn't it?
I don't know about anyone else, but I kinda feel like an ass now speculating about bullshit information.  Is that what you mean by getting punked?

That's a possibility, but its in my nature to be distrustful in situations like this. I dunno, something doesn't seem right. I'd expect hef or Nick to post in the thread by now, at least a post telling everyone to chill.

And yes, that's what I mean about being punked. I've just always felt uncomfortable in situations like this and I tend to be very suspicious of things around myself. Maybe I am looking to much into it, but its in my own nature to constantly question things like this.

It's not at all possible that none of them are at the computer right now.

It is a possibility, I won't deny that. Its just I normally see hef or Nick posting at this hour, and to suddenly see no one here seems odd.
It just feels too convenient to say that though, I just don't trust it.

It's just a little uncanny that there are NO mods on.  Especially in light of recent events.
"All great works are prepared in the desert, including the redemption of the world. The precursors, the followers, the Master Himself, all obeyed or have to obey one and the same law. Prophets, apostles, preachers, martyrs, pioneers of knowledge, inspired artists in every art, ordinary men and the Man-God, all pay tribute to loneliness, to the life of silence, to the night." - A.

They are the racists and hate mongers among us; they are the Ku Klux Klan. I piss down the throats of these Nazis. And I am too old to worry about whether they like it or not. Fuck them."

Someone made a thread that was call A Little Clarification. The person who made it had the account name Portnoy and had the same profile picture and same writing format as MP over on his forum. He was commenting on the JLB interview. Thus admin locks it and tells us it is fake.

And then some people here think Bosk is MP.
Jesus Christ himself* comes down amidst a choir of 2 billion angels singing Handel's Hallelujah chorus. As KrotchRaut shred randomly on guitars made of dragon bones using picks made from God's kidney stones, Jesus heals a blind woman who promptly gives birth onstage to a creation of pure light.

*Yes, Jesus Christ himself. Nothing less will do.

Someone at 5/8 screencapped the troll's post. It was definitely a blatant trolling attempt that made Mike seem like the root of all the bands' issues. I don't want to post the screencap here, since it was removed, but basically the gist of it was "I got kicked out over creative differences. The band wanted to go back to the style of the Scenes from a Memory type days, and I wasn't into that." The thing that made it interesting was that Mike's font and picture were basically the same as they are on MP.com. Even the posting style was the same, kinda written like this:

The thing that definitely gave it away was Mike would have had to know the forums secret emoticons. Which is HIGHLY unlikely.

Someone pretended to be Mike Portnoy at my KM forum last week, but I caught it right away because the week before he pretended to be Kevin's dad.  It was the same guy and I recognized his email address and deleted the posts.  He had the same MP photo and such as at the MP forums.  Maybe it's the same person.
