Okay, I saw this on a youtube video and tried it out, something suspicious. Click the link below...
www.mightymorphinpiraterangers.com

You click it thinking that it was a hoax, but yet it takes you directly to the Power Rangers.com website.
What is that all about? Is it a hoax? I will look into it, but if anyone else can shed some light that would be great.
I know Rangercrew did an April Fool's Day prank about Mighty Morphin Pirate Rangers, but this appears to be something different that that.

Nevermind guys... I just got this confirmation from Rangercrew...
No, this is the same domain that Mesh bought for the hoax and has it set to redirect to powerrangers.com. It's RC's April Fool's Joke for 2012.

Your response beat me to my response. I was basically going to say the same thing, that Mesh had bought the domain as part of his April Fool's Day joke and that he had it set up so that it would redirect to the official site. It was a clever idea but he really should remove that redirect now.

Semi OT does that mean I need to get rid of the New Rule thread?

Nah.... but we should probably lock it and bump another thread in there up.

Of course keeping it open is fine too. I just bumped another thread up so that your joke wouldn't be the last thing that was showing up.

Not to mention that your April Fool's Day joke isn't really hurting anything at all anyway.

Okay I just hope nobody actually thinks they can't say Ultraman on here.

I'm sure everyone can see the date that it's posted on and realize what it was. Not to mention our discussion about it in the thread as well.
