It Was a Good Run

Dear Fellow Shackers,
I say this with a heavy heart. It looks like I'll be leaving my life long home, the beautiful Pacific Northwest and relocating to the Bay Area. I was just offered a job as a lead web developer for a well known marketing firm. The only caveat, one of their top clients is Jed York, the owner of the San Fransisco 49ers.
I will be responsible for developing the official team website, as well as managing their social media campaigns. Due to a conflict of interest, I will no longer be able to host The Shack and I'm required shut the server down by the 15th of April.
Thank you to everyone in this community, you are the ones that have made this place what it is. This is a sad day for all of us. Makena, thank you for everything...much love and best of luck with your ventures in New England.
Sincerely,
Yoder

Thanks all the work you put into this, yoder; it is an understatement to say I've enjoyed being a part of this forum. Congratulations on you new gig, and I wish you the best in your endeavors.

Completely forgetting what day it is!
I'm way too trusting, but we'll see how this goes.

Oh, damn! I sure hope someone steps up to take Yoder's place. It would be a shame to shut this place down. I like this site due to the low traffic, much more intimate.

Sorry guys, I couldn't resist...didn't expect anyone to take the bait! Happy April 1st....here's to a great spring and one hell of a great football season! Curse away, I deserve it. Though I really did mean the last part, thanks to everyone for being here as you make this place what it is...a second home on the internet. The Shack ain't going anywhere!

I think everyone had a remembrance of how we felt when the PI forum announced it was shutting down.
If Rott was here we might have had another porn thread...

I COMPLETELY took the bait on this one, lol.
Man - I just saw the title at the top of the page, and my heart sank.
You got me good, Yoder.

It was low hanging fruit, couldn't pass it by. But the Niners? Really?
I won't be able to use that one anymore...at least until our 10th anniversary. Got to have a little fun during the off season. A definite A+ to Bob!

The Niners is what made me doubt it, but there was still that lingering possibility.

Hey, make me the lead dev at a big enough company and I'll represent anyone you want this side of the Klan.

Yea, me, too. Pay me enough money and I'll be Donald Trump's campaign manager.

Let's not overstate things- I said "this side of the Klan" to indicate that I *do* have boundaries.

Agreed, and I think the Klan is a good line in the sand that like you, that I would honor and one that Trump is just barely on this side of.
Sorry for the politics.
