Spamguy,

The thing I linked to was an thread where andrew said ambrosia was shutting down.
Then it got deleted, and was replaced by what you saw.
I'm serious.

Here's one of the posts:

I'm fed up with all the crap people give me, and I'm fed up with people pirating our games. I'm gone. These web boards will probably be around for another month or two, then we'll pull the plug on the servers, and Ambrosia will be a distant memory.

I figured since they are going away anyway, I may as well let Flatty admin them. Who cares?

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

Oops, sorry. I knew it wasn't like you to post links to Yo Mamma jokes in the strangest of places.

Admins have the ability to check IP addresses of posters. In this case I would guess they would have found it an obvious forgery.

Greetings - I am your friendly neighborhood moderator. Over the coming years I shall force-feed you my biased one-sided liberal tripe that I find truthful based upon my own faulty and fragmented logic; excessive smileys 🙂 🙂 🙂 and bizarre TexT! formatting also help clarify my inane points. Welcome to the boards!

Just a joke.

I'm pretty sure it's a joke, too. Flatty's title is now "butt of the joke" and he dosen't have divine karma anymore.
