I knew it was a joke, but when I couldn't access the site then it was a different story. So was the site maintenance scheduled or was it down as a result of the joke? If it was the latter I guess the joke got reversed.

I knew it was a joke immediately - in fact I was expecting something for April Fools. But I have to admit I was surprised that I couldn't figure out how to really get in... After a few minutes I gave up, and decided to take my 17 year old son to the movies and see Sin City. Turns out I'm glad the site was down - the movie was awesome!

Truly disappointing.
I expected more from Scott, like locking Brad out.
Now that would have been original!

It was genuis, and hilarious.
I think some might go find a sense of humor.
The reason it was down for so long was because we have members from all over the world, for it to work properly it needed plenty of exposure.
BTW, its nice to know the rest of the Mustang world takes notice when TMS is not functioning!

The whole idea of "The Miata Source" was too obvious for me... now if that had gone with "The Neon Source"...

(even without the "april fools joke") as the TMS administrators were performing some routine maintenance that disabled the forums temporarily. No harm done....right?

When you guys have to do some maintenance on the site can you give us some warning that the site will be down for a while, and if known how long it will be down?
I have a friend that owns a website and he's already given the members advance notice that the site will be down for maintenance for a few days (4/11-4/18).

It was funny. I understand the maintenance part too. (btw - telling us they were doing maintenance would have made the joke pointless)
I took it as a good excuse to, I don't know... do something else. I love this site, but I don't need to stare at it every day. I went outside and went for a drive.

How old are you people?....eight years old?!!!? Yeah, I fell for the stupid prank! I've been considering for some time sending an email to Brad to require an IQ test to be able to post on this website AND then I find out the "inmates are running the asylum"!!!! :scratch:
