@5665150 I get it…Waited and Frustrated not getting a Fuko in years I dint sleep through the whole of Meh-rathon …I dont mind the wait as long as Meh has my money and still enjoying the Birthday bash.
Ever since Meh got rid of the Google Oauth login, the “I’m not a robot” verification has been a complete pain in the ass. It never, ever works the first two times. Missed a bag as a result.
not sure how I could ever get one of these when the page takes 55 seconds to load.
luckily, I don’t need any more worthless junk.
damn it!
the bag would have been cool though.
:kicks can:
@matthewwhitt2 It was cancelled. I was hoping I could do a random drawing and give it away, since it was already purchased, but to no avail.
So hopefully they increase the amount available by one in the next batch, so someone can get it.
@Thumperchick what does “oops sorry we are unable to place your order because we’re not sure which items you’re trying to buy” mean? I understand what “sorry you’re sold out” means, just a bit odd when the fuko is pictured in the order above
@f00l ah so fancy server talk for “na-na-na-na-boo-boo”? I’d feel cheated if I was awake enough. Ah well back to work treating the water for 500K people.
@seraphimcaduto it means several thousand people tried to do the same thing at the same exact time and something didn’t go perfectly for a few of you.
TLDR - na-na-na-na-boo-boo?
Got one! Woo!
Major disappointment last night when I saw the first 2 crappy items come up and I figured it would go on like that for a while. I go to bed and check the next product on my tablet – Fuko and already sold out. Thought that was it, but glad they brought back some. Now I can relax
@RedOak I’m glad some good folks are getting them. Sadly this has foiled me each time. My only Fuko was the kickstarter. My ip must be giving off the vibe that I live in a sketchy part of the country.
Same thing happened to me during both this and the midnight(ish) offering. There was no place to select any options at the top, and sadly I got the same message after a reload.
If a mediocre employee reads this, since you’re offering options on the fukos now, where do I click to get the fuko with the $1000 espresso maker and fancy tablet?
The refresh moved things around as I desperately jabbed at Buy, and it ate my address and card number and that was enough of a slow down. Congrats to those who got one!
COME ON! The captacha is bullshit! I just want to buy one- never have - probably never will. Can you sell more than a couple pretty please. For those who have gotten them multiple times can you cut me a break PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE!!!
@WTFsunshine
Frustration, resentment, gloating, envy, the sense of having been burned by a site you love, are the reasons they do them, I suspect. The insane emotions and reactions.
Nothing fair about it. Nothing ever will be.
I never scored a boc at woot. Don’t really want one anymore. I suppose if if it fell in front of me I’d grab it, bit I’m not gonna sweat or worry for it.
Hey I got a fuko, once, 2 years ago, on mobile.
I will prob never get another one.
It’s a box of stupid warehouse leftovers. The best part is the swag.
I wish they would sell the swag separately. I’d prob buy that, because, ya know, @f00l.
@f00l A little late posting…when I posted this originally I was already starting to have some seizure activity. Instead of listening to my body telling me to stop I kept pushing myself because I figured that they were going to do another one. So, yes, I posted out of frustration and with pouty lips. Not particularly proud of myself for what I posted when I posted it. However, it doesn’t change the fact that I still want one and can’t get one.
However, my later post I’m not so sure I’m apologizing for that one. It was supposed to be for just VMP’s and I was beyond the point of pushing myself. So it was still frustration and pouty lips posting, but besides the cussing, I think at that point it was more warranted. Maybe…
@Barney I live in a world of frustration and upset so if I ever do get one I’ll do a happy dance in my chair. Probably even spin it around in circles and in the room a few times.♿️ Darn - now I have that song stuck in my head " you spin my round right round right round".
Well they sold 202 the first time and 197 this time… since usually they far more than this, likely there will be more opportunities since generally (recently that is) they sell around 600 of them.
@Kidsandliz but can’t get past captcha garbage…and still can’t get it at 600Wish they would have had pity on us up all night watching for it and didn’t put it up at 8 am EST
@trlenoir - I just checked on the numbers sold and ti was 202 and 197 so only around 400 sold so far. At least recently they have been selling around 600 of them.
@djslack if you have luck ( none) like me it wouldn’t have mattered …two devices going , did stupid catocha then green line kept loading to buy until finally message said sold out
I was hoping to get to get to my work computer before it dropped, but it hit as I was in front of the building. Sold out in the check out again, but I feel that I got closer this time.

Dear Captcha,
We need to fucking talk. Normally I don’t talk to people or inanimate concepts that are annoying af, but this time I’m making an exception because I can’t deal with this shit anymore. When you first became a thing, I sort of understood your utility. Even though you obviously don’t stop robots from spamming websites given that Drake and Future tickets sold out one hour into the presale, I can appreciate the idea behind the concept. That being said, you are doing the absolute fucking most right now. I remember the good old days when all you had to do was type in a few random numbers displayed in an image file. Then you started trying to confuse us with ambiguous letters that could literally be any or no letters in the English alphabet. And even then I was able to more or less do it without issues. But now? This shit is fucking ridiculous. I graduated from college and I can’t figure this shit out. Let’s look at some real examples that I screenshotted.
!screenshot][1]
“Select all squares with street signs”? Seems simple enough, until you actually try to do it. If one square has a tiny corner of the sign, does it count? If it has just the post of the sign but not the sign itself does that count or nah? I should not be having an existential crisis over what constitutes a sign when all I’m trying to do is buy some fucking shirts.
Here we fucking go again. So I’m just supposed to know which of these bodies of waters are rivers? What if they’re lakes? Or bays? Or like, streams? Does that waterfall count as a river? Am I just supposed to have an innate knowledge of all the world’s rivers committed to memory?
Inventors of captcha, are you guys fucking kidding me with this shit? This has gotten so out of hand. I’ve seen captchas where I’ve had to draw a box around a street sign, or “select all the images with tea”—like, I can’t tell if that dark-colored liquid substance in that mug is coffee or tea! I’m not a psychic! You all have got to calm the fuck down with this. I should not have to solve the damn DaVinci code just to post one online comment. These are not nuclear launch codes. Just have me check one fucking box that says “Yes, I am human.” It is really not that deep.
@Zebra Yeah, I find it’s worthless to try to determine what it thinks counts as a building, car, sign, etc… I just click some squares in the general area and hope for the best.
@Thumperchick I didn’t realize I shouldn’t order two of these in the same event. I sent an email asking to cancel the second one but I want to make sure I don’t get into trouble with you.
@gillian77 You have just paid $5 for a red bag like in the photo and for a very limited chance you will get something other than broken stuff (sometimes nice stuff that is broken due to how it is “packed” (as in not packed) or dollar store style stuff.
@gillian77 mainly you get anticipation and the excitement of opening a box like present that could contain anything. Kinda like a Christmas present from the wierd aunt it could be great or awful ,half the excitement is the opening and chatting about it with your meh friends
@gillian77 Or you might end up wth a pallet of something they gave up on selling… that has happened to a few people. PB&J spreaders, “seizure” glasses, broken TV’s, etc., other weird crap they apparently bought just for this…
@gillian77 The PB n’ J Spreaders were mine. Crazy yes, but actually pretty awesome. That story is here. I also received a $500 Neato Robotic Vacuum in one of my Fukos. Then again, we’ve all opened boxes only to find stuff that is immediately transferred to the trash…
@gillian77 My first fuku, I got a Chromebook (@f00l, I gave it away.) I also got an upright vacuum cleaner for a Valentines Day fuku. Most of the rest of my fuku/fukos have been rather crappy, but sprinkled with usable items here and there. All have definitely been worth $5.
But I think the chase and then the anticipation are a very important part of the fun.
@Barney My only fuku thus far had a brand new broken tablet in it. I spent and hour trying to fix it but alas the force was not with me and it was scrapped for parts.
@gillian77 This one’s longer than normal since we had all the other Meh-rathon stuff to ship in addition to the Fuko. Should be in the next few days, I think.
So after the first hour of watching meh via chromecast to tv- the kids and I saw the red bag and freaked. Scramble ensues. Then magic, and boom: first successful order of a Fuko here! Still so excited, even if it’s… well, meh. All tries previously were slammed down by captcha but somehow this time I didn’t seem like a robot? Fuko success afterglow (or maybe it was the 18 hours of big screen meh)!
@peaceetc You should check again - mine did say that, but was recently changed to 17x15x14 and 12.4 pounds. I am legitimately frightened now. I guess I’ll find out Friday, which is the new ETA.
Woot! I mean… meh.
First one of these I’ve managed to get since the early days of woot. And it was made possible by the VMP-only segment. I love me some LeakFrogs!
@Brandizzle Nice! Why don’t you post this on the shipping thread? (It’s at the top of the page in the broadcast box.) I don’t think too many people are reading this thread anymore.

@sohmageek Oops, sorry. We’re sold out.
@mediocrebot grrr… I guess you saved @thumperchick some work though…
FUCKKKKKKKKKKKK I MISSED IT AGAIN
@versabox Right there with ya. If that makes you feel any better. It wouldn’t make me feel better.
Oh well.
Fuckers.
@joelmw stupid sleep…
@versabox I was in the purchase section and by the time I got through the “Im not a robot!!” test, it was sold out. Every time!
@EvilTuna31x It’s too bad they won’t allow a fingerprint scanner to prove you aren’t a robot quickly. Cuz everyone knows robots don’t have fingers…
YES!!! I finally got one!!!
/giphy shivering-reliable-connection
@arbdef Not sure you how you had enough of a shivering reliable connection to get through to the Meh servers on time, but well played!
Yay grabbed one!
GOT IT! Score!
/giphy qualified-meek-wombat
Woohoo! Got one!
I wasn’t presented with the “Are you a robot” box and then it said I had to check it. It wasn’t there so how can I check it. CRAP!
@cengland0 worst is i checked it and it said I was a robot and denied me
That captcha is the f’in worst. 4 different captchas? Are you serious?
@dis_member
I hate them
@dis_member Maybe it’s time to accept that you’re actually a robot.
@kyanostiger I’ll live forever…without a Fuku
/giphy immortal robots
@dis_member Right!? That’s how I lost my chance! Again!
/image steady-unjust-shark
/giphy steady-unjust-shark
Yes!

@ruouttaurmind
Yeah but /giphy still hates you.
/giphy hate
@f00l
/giphy haters gonna hate
@giphy, I don’t even know what that means
I just checked, and this is my 4th fuk. I thought for sure I had at least 5 prior fuks.
I guess it’s just too difficult to get meh to give a fuk.
Welp, got one. First purchase on this site. Fingers crossed.
@perturbington that is indeed unfortunate.
Crashed and sold out.
I’m not a robot! I’m not a robot!
@megania
god damn it why do the captchas take so long
what can I do to fix this
@afwaller I got fucked over by it too. It took 5 attempts before it accepted it, apparently I don’t know what a store front or street sign is.
Missed it at midnight but got it this time!
/giphy novel-lumpy-top
/image novel-lumpy-top
@Einherjar13 I’m a member of that same club. Effed over by the captcha at midnight, sailed right through this morning.
@Einherjar13 There was one at midnight?
@Einherjar13 Never mind, it was the third offer.
@ruouttaurmind Got stuck on the green bar at midnight, thought it was going to happen again but it got through
Yussss, I figured it would be in the last 2 5 minute deals for the hour!
My First Fuko ever since I joined
@H3xtor666 you are in for a treat. But don’t hold your breath. They don’t ship fast.
@5665150 I get it…Waited and Frustrated not getting a Fuko in years I dint sleep through the whole of Meh-rathon …I dont mind the wait as long as Meh has my money and still enjoying the Birthday bash.
@H3xtor666 I agree. It really has been fun so far. I think I’m most looking forward to the t shirt I bought.
@5665150 I bought 2 RED t-shirts accidentally thought I would cancel one but again it is Meh’s Bday so did not… But yes it has been FUN so far
Crap Just missed it!
we only can get one right?
@larrygrochal that is the usual rule they did say:
No idea if they will cancel duplicates
@larrygrochal Thumperchick said one only earlier I do believe
SONOSABEECH. Sold out while loading the green bar AGAIN.
-=whomp whomp=-
YUSSSSS
/giphy salty-kissable-merlin
MY SALT IS SO HIGH. WHY IS SIGN IN SO SLOW =[
/giphy fuku happy dance
OF COURSE I missed it again.
I got the green bar reload… I clicked it within 5 seconds… nope. sold out. meh.
Since I got one the first time last night… I wonder if Meh would have let me get two?
@haydesigner no.
I didn’t buy one because I got the 1st one… But are we allowed to purchase multiple if more show up?
Nailed it
/giphy laughing-salty-form
Yay!!!
No :C
Dam, was even watching, slight glitch on my computer made me lose.
(Or win… depending on how you look at it.)
Yall are too damn fast what the heck
got it so excited
Missed it
How many robots try to buy the Fuko? Really? This CAPTCHA business really slows me down.
@QuietDelusions Me too. Missed it because of the stupid CAPTCHA
again with the failure to load and the oops we’re sold out and the “lol i think ur actually a robot” and the sudden network problems. shakes fist
anyways, this whole meh-rathon thing is A+++. would suffer again
Yippee!!! Got it this time!
/giphy clownish-abashed-instrument
OMFG!!! I got one, I have not been able to accomplish this feat since I was locked into the Kickstarter Fuko!!
/giphy oval-toothsome-monkey
First time ever ordering from meh…and I got it!!!
@gillian77 Same! High five
Yay!!! Second ever Fuko score for me on Meh’s third birthday!!! Happy birthday Meh!!!
/giphy runny-believable-starfish
wow, got it!
Ever since Meh got rid of the Google Oauth login, the “I’m not a robot” verification has been a complete pain in the ass. It never, ever works the first two times. Missed a bag as a result.
@harveydanger
same
@ponagathos yes me too
Finally, been keeping VMP for way too long without buying anything but finally got another Fuko.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
@dzieciom
Also not sure if i got lucky but my captcha was just clicking the check box, unless thats a VMP thing.
/giphy scattered-laden-ant
Damn! Was perfectly on time, but some reason was signed out… Too late by the time I signed back in.
not sure how I could ever get one of these when the page takes 55 seconds to load.
luckily, I don’t need any more worthless junk.
damn it!
the bag would have been cool though.
:kicks can:
Woo got one!
/giphy moving-illiterate-pin
What the hell, Meh.
How can I even buy this if the thing sells out before the auto refresh is done.
Wait, you allowed to buy it each time. That doesn’t seem right. I thought I was going to be denied.
Can I gift this one to someone else?
Apologize, I just like trying things I shouldn’t.
@MrMark I’ll take care of that duplicate for you.
@Thumperchick So I can’t gift it to someone? Bummer. I won’t try for any more.
@MrMark thanks, it’ll save me a bit of work later.
@MrMark You can cancel your order so if they do another one there will be more available next time around.
@matthewwhitt2 It was cancelled. I was hoping I could do a random drawing and give it away, since it was already purchased, but to no avail.
So hopefully they increase the amount available by one in the next batch, so someone can get it.
@matthewwhitt2 they have only sold around 400 so far and at least recently they sell around 600 of them.
@Thumperchick what does “oops sorry we are unable to place your order because we’re not sure which items you’re trying to buy” mean? I understand what “sorry you’re sold out” means, just a bit odd when the fuko is pictured in the order above
@seraphimcaduto
It means things aren’t perfect and they’re fucking with us.
@f00l ah so fancy server talk for “na-na-na-na-boo-boo”? I’d feel cheated if I was awake enough. Ah well back to work treating the water for 500K people.
@seraphimcaduto it means several thousand people tried to do the same thing at the same exact time and something didn’t go perfectly for a few of you.
TLDR - na-na-na-na-boo-boo?
@Thumperchick just checking, sleep deprivation makes simple things look like differential equations
@seraphimcaduto I prefer differential equations to Captchas.
@phendrick on a normal day I do as well
/image ban hammer
People like me with two-paper-cups-and-string internet connections do not qualify for fuko.

@ponagathos Oops, sorry. We’re sold out.
/image cliched-knowledgeable-expert
GRRRRR!!! Freaking mobile
I got one, and got the earlier one… Then felt guilty and cancelled it. I don’t deserve two, hopefully someone else got it!
Got one. Now I can get some work done today
It finally happened! First Fuko in 3 years (since the kickstarter one)
Dammit. Clicked Buy before the Captcha cycled, and had to click again… and sold out.
Saw it the second it appeared. Got captcha after 1 retry.
Sold out.
Almost 6 AM.
Sad.

@Euniceandrich Oops, sorry. We’re sold out.
I finally got one. Can’t wait to be more disappointed by whatever I get instead of not being able to get something I don’t want.

@LadyLeela they must not trust you. Only one for me.
@RedOak I’m glad some good folks are getting them. Sadly this has foiled me each time. My only Fuko was the kickstarter. My ip must be giving off the vibe that I live in a sketchy part of the country.
Got one! First one since the Kickstarter campaign. Awesome.
Ughhhh Meh cleared my saved credit card . missed it
29 Meh clicks today. Still misses the Fuko.
OH GOD DAMN IT I WILL NEVER GET ONE OF THESE THINGS
lucky-rapid-elk
stupid captcha.
Yay, I stayed up all night just so I could attempt the morning one. Who needs to be conscious during normal people hours?
Finally!!! It only took a Verizon gigabit connection and 15 seconds before it sold out.
Yeah didn’t get again and stayed up all night
Guess this means I didn’t get it…poo
@seraphimcaduto yes I have gotten that before too…:(
Same thing happened to me during both this and the midnight(ish) offering. There was no place to select any options at the top, and sadly I got the same message after a reload.
If a mediocre employee reads this, since you’re offering options on the fukos now, where do I click to get the fuko with the $1000 espresso maker and fancy tablet?
@AttyVette guessing that’s a fancy way of saying we had it but it sold out while the server timed out?
@liz ah that makes some sense. It is what it is I suppose.
@seraphimcaduto Yep. That’s what I got.
/image fantabulous-imperfect-leek
Got through the Captchas in way too many tries. Then the page wouldn’t advance to do the actual purchase. Captcha really sucks.
@Stumpy91 and they keep it On the site…
The refresh moved things around as I desperately jabbed at Buy, and it ate my address and card number and that was enough of a slow down. Congrats to those who got one!

@Kidsandliz guessing at 4pm ET? or during that hour
@Kidsandliz but can’t get past captcha garbage…and still can’t get it at 600Wish they would have had pity on us up all night watching for it and didn’t put it up at 8 am EST

@Kidsandliz is anything ever awesome?
@gillian77 Be afraid. Be very afraid. OTOH, once I got a brand new Roomba, with accessories.
@OldCatLady NICE!!!
@gillian77 @OldCatLady I got a Roomba in my very first one! Of course, they also sent me a large bag of actual crap. (garden soil with poo fertilizer)
@gillian77 one man’s junk is another man’s treasure??? (don’t expect treasure and you won’t be disappointed!)
@gillian77 You’re not getting a Roomba. Just sayin.
@gillian77 yes but think lottery type odds… especially since they discontinued fuku’s and switched to fuko’s.
@mikibell @sammgdog01 @kidsandliz Hey it’s cool. Whatever I get will be different than anything I’ve ever imagined
@gillian77 The PB n’ J Spreaders were mine. Crazy yes, but actually pretty awesome. That story is here. I also received a $500 Neato Robotic Vacuum in one of my Fukos. Then again, we’ve all opened boxes only to find stuff that is immediately transferred to the trash…
@gillian77 yeah that will be true:
and some things might be “how could any one even have thought to image this to begin with? WTF?” LOL
@Kidsandliz hahaha so true
@cinoclav What did you do with all of them?
@gillian77 I still have some but I gave tons of them away.
@cinoclav I bought a pb&j spreader at Williams-Sonoma. True story.
@cinoclav I would of just put them all over work and seen who grabbed them
@gillian77 My first fuku, I got a Chromebook (@f00l, I gave it away.) I also got an upright vacuum cleaner for a Valentines Day fuku. Most of the rest of my fuku/fukos have been rather crappy, but sprinkled with usable items here and there. All have definitely been worth $5.
But I think the chase and then the anticipation are a very important part of the fun.
@Barney I’m really looking forward to it – well sorta!
@gillian77
/giphy thumbs up
@gillian77 I gave them out to everyone in my department in my hospital.
@sammydog01 Aww, I would’ve provided them for free!
@cinoclav That is very nice of you…how long do they usually take to ship?
Where are people on this thread from?
@gillian77 ut oh… don’t start the east coast/west coast thing again (although the east coast DID win!!)

https://meh.com/forum/topics/easties-vs--westies-mini-contest
heheheeheheh fukos are packed by hand, so it takes a little longer to pick, pack and ship
@mikibell hahaha! I’ll be good
@gillian77
@mikibell
@Barney My only fuku thus far had a brand new broken tablet in it. I spent and hour trying to fix it but alas the force was not with me and it was scrapped for parts.
@imzwho Maybe you’ll have better luck this time. Doubtful, but maybe.
@gillian77 did anyone mention @barney’s lovely haul? (Dog not included)
@mikibell Aw, there’s that stinker dog, Lady.
@mikibell
In the thread for the 3rd listing for Meh-rathon Edition Fuko.
@SpaceBreak Too bad – You get to see it again.
@Barney
You make it seem like I’m complaining.
@SpaceBreak Hey, if I had to look at that photo again, I would complain.
@mikibell a DOG!!!
Still haven’t received shipping info…waiting…
Someone say something!!!
@SpaceBreak @barney how long does it take to receive tracking info usually? It’s been 9 days and nothing…so just checking
@gillian77 This one’s longer than normal since we had all the other Meh-rathon stuff to ship in addition to the Fuko. Should be in the next few days, I think.
@gillian77 @dave beat me to it. He’s one of the head honchos, so what he says goes (most of the time).
@Barney Haha most of the time!! @dave thanks!! I hope to get it before I leave next Wednesday for Virginia
@gillian77 I dunno if that is going to happen. They gave an estimated delivery of Monday, July 31st - Thursday, August 3rd.
@Barney you just broke my heart
@gillian77 Aww…
@Barney Hahaha!! I mean
So after the first hour of watching meh via chromecast to tv- the kids and I saw the red bag and freaked. Scramble ensues. Then magic, and boom: first successful order of a Fuko here! Still so excited, even if it’s… well, meh. All tries previously were slammed down by captcha but somehow this time I didn’t seem like a robot? Fuko success afterglow (or maybe it was the 18 hours of big screen meh)!

ESTIMATED DELIVERY Monday, July 31st - Thursday, August 3rd
@Ryaneil Add ‘unwarranted delays’ to the list of things to anticipate.

…anything worth having is definitely worth waiting for…
@viol That’s the joke, right?
Finally my perfect streak has come to an end. I missed this bag
@whistlingwilly Aww… You may have been the last one?
@Barney Im not sure, hope I was.
@whistlingwilly
Hmmm.
If it’s a bag you want, I could help you out.
I can’t do anything regarding streak though.
@mflassy is this @mfladd?
@whistlingwilly said:
So your collection of old bags is incomplete.
So sad. : (
@mflassy if its a different bag i might take you up on that. but i have so many of the regular ones.
/image moving-glorified-truck
A bit scary if the order number applies. I hope I do not need a truck to move it especially a fancy glorified one.
I guess the truck really is really moving. I can’t see it.
@speediedelivery Maybe it thought you meant track?

First time ordering anything from this site, but if it’s like the BoCs on that other site, we should be getting shipping info soon, right? RIGHT?!
@perturbington
ಠ_ಠ
@woodhouse I’ll take that as a yes.
@perturbington It was more of an apology that your first order was a Fuko.
Got my shipping info. I was beginning to think I’d imagined the whole thing. 14x9x6 in. @ 2.2 lbs. Should be here on the 29th-ish.
@peaceetc You are lucky. Mine still says “processing”
@peaceetc 14x9x6 in. and 2.2 lbs as well
@peaceetc You should check again - mine did say that, but was recently changed to 17x15x14 and 12.4 pounds. I am legitimately frightened now. I guess I’ll find out Friday, which is the new ETA.
@carrollhome Dang, that’s big! I hope it’s something utterly ridiculous and fun.
Mine’s still at the placeholder weight. Both FedEx and UPS seem to be really good at never updating the weights of my crap and fukos.
My package size updated to 18x15x15 - 4.7 lbs. Should arrive Thursday or Friday
@crow my package updated to 17x15x15 and 4.1 lbs.
/giphy my package is smaller than yours
@crow Awesome! Join us on the Shipping/Reveal thread to share your disappointment when it arrives.
Woot! I mean… meh.
First one of these I’ve managed to get since the early days of woot. And it was made possible by the VMP-only segment. I love me some LeakFrogs!
@Brandizzle Nice! Why don’t you post this on the shipping thread? (It’s at the top of the page in the broadcast box.) I don’t think too many people are reading this thread anymore.
@Barney Thanks. I didn’t know that was a thing. I still can’t find it… but at least I know it’s a thing now.
@Brandizzle When you open up the forum page, it’s right up at the top of the page, inside that box, and it says,
