It’s 7 hours and counting of no new posts approved on vf. So, I looked at the profiles of the regular mods and they all had last visit around the same time (noon Friday).

Then I looked at some LinkedIn pages and there is another IFI with just 7 employees:

https://www.linkedin.com/company/innovation-first-international-inc.

Compared to the real one:

Something is fishy … or they just had a botched forum software update.

Your thoughts?

that is, uh, odd to say the least

There’s a post from two hours ago on the hidden EP subforum by Pascal, but it’s also possible that that subforum doesn’t require manual approval, I haven’t posted anything on the old forum since The Happening.

EDIT: And before anybody asks, you’re missing nothing by not having access to that subforum. It’s less “secret back room where we share strategies on how to take bribes for world spots” and more “anybody know where to buy Raspberry Pis that are in stock?”

curious you say that…

seems like mere moments ago they went through the queue.

Lol, looks like they all were stuck in a meeting trying to decide if they should revive this topic

Honestly, the op looks super cringy in retrospect.

it is st. Patrick’s day, after all

I was talking with Dan last week and he said that was always the plan. He said he was hoping to get his last couple submission in so he can make a video before worlds.

one sec lemme cook up some more

Did he say anything about the big ugly elephant in the IFI room?

On the aspects we talked about I will say my impression of Dan Mantz and the RECF was positive.

I think that the first like 30 on the new dankest vex memes should go in
