Hi,
this is very important announcement for which I'll be most probably vanquished from Aeroscale and all Kitmaker sites. On the staff forum we've been told about forthcoming takeover of first Aeroscale, later Armorama and other Kitmaker sites by Brett Green. The staff was obliged to keep quiet but sorry, I can't...this would be not fair with all the Aeroscalers.

Well, my two cents before the topic gets deleted.

I really hope this doesn't mean Brett will close the whole Kitmaker domain. We have been speculating about all sorts of different scenarios, but we'll see how Kitmaker fits into Hyperscale business plan.

Erm, the last thing we need is Brett Green taking over everything. He is very one-eyed about many subjects. Have you also noticed he doesn't provide any links so you can give feedback about his articles?

I don't like April Fools jokes; they are too dangerous. On hearing this news, I had already ordered the Canadian president to order the Canadian generals to order the Canadians in charge of the slingshots to move into DefCon4.

I fell for it. It was a real eye opener.
I went over there and marveled at the ancient and very cumbersome threading forum software they are still using, and thought - yeah, it will definately be a good move for him..

Yeah, you got me on this joke. The funny is how the information spreads around the world: http://www.clubhyper.com/forums/forum.htm - thread: "Brett - So....what's this all about?"

As the "view counter" say the thread proved to be quite popular today.

Sorry I didn't bite. But it was like live entertainment to see the fire spread over the internet.

Michal, you really got me in the first moment! But then I remembered it's the 1. April It's nearly 9 pm here and I really hoped to come through the day without one of these serious jokes
At least it was a good try ....

Happy modelling on Aeroscale everyone!

I was curious of Aeroscalers reaction. Watching the fire to spread over the net was a bonus I didn't expect - as usual when you play with matches.

That was scary!!! I'd hate to have Butt Green take over this site and become Dictator of another site!
