- Google announced their new drink, Google Gulp.
- Some of the SitePoint Forums staff switched around their avatars.
- The Leaky Cauldron was taken over by Peeves.
- Vinnie made it so that his text was displayed back wards.
- The staff of KarateForums.com wrote an article discussing their real life experiences with Ki.
- Blogs for Bush endorsed Hilary.
- phpBBHacks.com announced plans to prevent users from asking for help with downloads that are not listed in the phpBBHacks.com database.
