Feeling totally smug that I had for once "sussed" the prank I continued browsing to slowly realize that it was no prank. My favourite website has gone corporate. 
As Birdy says "it was a bit sudden without consultation" us rank and file posters / members that help make up this great forum are I am sure feeling a bit dazed and perhaps used/sold out?
Time will tell, although something had to happen, it was getting to big to good to fast.
........maybe next year I will suss out the prank before everyone else.
In the mean time, what did I do with that old Canon......
