1. omgosh - wth is that about?

[roguevalley]

15. freepers have a thread on their site. they believe someone there

hacked us and changed things. Its hy-larious.

2. Reverse psychology from Grovel Bot

He's holding your avatar hostage until the donations hit the magic 1000 mark.

6. how is that possible?

3. There was a sarcastic post that used it and so its a fund raising slogan

I don't know much more than that - but actually its a positive statement believe it or not.

7. Grovelbot has hacked your account.

He is an evil robot. Send a PM to the Admins, before he tombstones you. They'll fix it up right quick.


Hurry, the fate of the Universe is in your hands.

9. thank you everyone. apparently not enough caffeine this am--don't

generally pay attention to the avatars.

[dipsydoodle]

18. Don't worry

I fell for it too. First time I saw it I thought "mean bastards"......lol.

12. Grovelbot comes to annoy... please feed grovelbot

(then we can get our devilishly clever and unique avatars back)

[liberaldem4ever]

13. Thank you for asking that

I wondered about it too. My son uses my computer for playing World of Warcraft a lot so I may have missed the memo about what was going on. But, I did my part and donated to DU a few days ago. :bounce:

I'm donating to DU - just to spite 'em.

Take that, Grovelbot!
