    Sorry, I guess someone posted something about this already. I did not see that thread.

    About ten minutes ago when I logged on to Forge Hub to check CP, something weird happened. While browsing through subscribed threads I clicked one, and it brought me to a site called ProForge. I tried another, and the same thing happened again.

    ink: ProForge- Off-Topic

    Another little thing I found there, in a random thread I clicked on that site in the General Discussion category, there was a thread titled "im done with forgehub" posted by someone claiming to be fbu. It said that he was leaving Forge Hub and joining ProForge. The message was posted today at 9:47 pm. I'm certain its either an April Fools joke or a fake.

    Source: im done with forgehub- ProForge forums

    About the ProForge site, I looked around and in the anouncments I noticed that it was full of goodbyes from their staff. Most of it was posted in early 2008. It sounds like the site closed down on April 5, 2008.

    I'm not sure what caused the redirect, but it might have been an April Fools joke too. I know that I'm not the only one that noticed this either because I chatted about it on the ViralGFX forums with Ice (Icecikle) and Randle Scandal. The whole thing is a bit odd.

    It's not a prank, they are going to shutdown Forgehub soon.

    We aren't shutting down, it's just a merge. It should be over within 72 hours.

    A merge with ProForge? Seriously doubt it. If it did happen for real though, I would assume it would be to remove all the 'Off-Topic nonsense' from FH.

    Oh and I guess someone posted this before. I checked in the new threads and I didn't see anything that sounded like it, but I guess I was wrong.
