As of about 5 minutes ago and up top on every BF.com page I now load, I get this message:

Jaxx, thanks for your patronage! Due to members like you, BladeForums.com has become the largest knife community on the web. As a result of this, we've been approached by Google to become part of their family of products.

What's the deal, is this supposed to be here?

Check your calendar Jaxx...

April Fools Day? It didn't even cross my mind until you posted that.

Ahhh that explains it! I WTF'd hard seeing that earlier today. Started popping up in the last half hour or so for me.

Better be a joke. I want nothing to do with Google+ and would move on if this were true.

I also notice that Spark's "See you later, I just sold BF" post (or whatever it said) is now gone. Nice touch.

I really hope its due to the calendar...

I second this. I hope this is BS.
