Hey all,

Thank you for visiting KarateForums.com.

I just wanted to wish everyone a happy April Fools' Day. As you may have noticed, all usernames across the entire site were given a little something extra at the start: Ninja_. This was particularly interesting for Ninja_ninjanurse. Ironically, it was Heidi (ninjanurse) who came up with the idea.

Just a little harmless fun that we hope you got a kick out of, amongst the sea of other jokes you probably experienced today.

Your username is actually untouched and remains as it was - the change was only made to how it was displayed on the site. I'll leave this change in place for a little longer, just to allow some other people to see it.

Thanks,

Patrick

Alright, I have cleaned this up and things should be back to normal.

Thanks again,

I admit I was momentarily perplexed by this unexpected and unexplained change. I thought it was some sort of site security thing or that the forum had been hacked.

I was thinking one of the other staff members did it, Patrick got up on April 1st sipping his coffee and reading his forums... then BAM! Oh noes! Everyone is a ninja! Then as he realizes its April first he chuckles wisely at the computer screen.

Sorry about that, Spartacus Maximus. Appreciate your understanding.

Haha, thanks Shawn.
