LMR is Shutting Down!

Not_LMR.jpg

 

It's a sad, sad day. After four great years, Let's Make Robots is closing up. 

Operating expenses have risen, and the site has gotten so big. Some of you may have noticed performance problems of late. This is due to the load on the hosting site, which is donated by a generous LMR member. It's kept LMR online for four years, but it is just no longer adequate. 

Frits will be making an official announcement soon, but he gave me the OK to share this now, as LMR has always been very transparent about our business.

And now for the worst part...

 

 

April Fools!

Seriously, just kidding. However, if you are reading this, please take a moment to read below.

OH! And if you are a very talented person, please help us with the challenge of making a robotthat makes the drawing between all donaters. (No, you cannot make it draw you deliberately, but it's OK if you win, as long as it's fair :)

lol!

that’s what i thought

Aaahhaaaa… I was going to

Aaahhaaaa… I was going to do something similar, but was afraid it wasn’t 100% transalatable :smiley:

I did, however, tell my boss that on behalf of the company (in which I have no mandate like this) I had hired an old friend to come work with me. As a part graphical designer / part therapist. I told on the Intranet that I had just used a standard formular, and he was hired to start imidiadetly :smiley:

OK, that might not translate well, but it was funny: A few “wft” mails flew by :smiley:

I would say it translates just fine.

LOL

Good one frits. :slight_smile:

Good One, LOL…
I almost bought the whole darned thing too, :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

LOL i actually believed it!

May that day never come.

May that day never come.

Swallowed Whole

OK, OK, I believed it too.  Swallowed it whole.  I think this is just ‘payback’ for that little joke I made about Maker’s Faire.

           Burned on April Fool’s Day, how will I live down the shame,

                                    LOL,
