2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI'm a little freaked out by this. Is Russia hacking the change.org petition?
Earlier today I saw the change.org petition and I signed it. At the time, it was all written in English.
AMBlue posted in another thread requesting that we sign the petition. Curious to see how many signatures there were, I went and looked.
And now the fucking thing is in Russian.

Their change.org and care2 petitions have both been having problems.
