Yep. I usually just go straight to thesnakesoup.org/forums, so at first I was just getting the page not found error.

Then I remembered Ravi's "This is now a Splinter Cell site" joke which also had the forums gone for April fools. I was already on the lookout for something anyway.

So went to the main site, and... lol, the articles were hilarious.

Did you make all that stuff?

Two were done by Ravi (under the alias of 420nullz), but the rest were done by me.

My favorite (and paradoxically, the one I'm most ashamed of) is "BULLSHIT: Solid Snake's character changed for the better over the course of the series." I was half-expecting a PM from Ravi telling me to cut it out with the Solid Snake fanboyism after already doing two other articles on it. Instead he left that awesome comment.

Also, to whoever found this;

Perfect

I enjoyed seeing the MGS Bros Social Club come to full fruition here. It brings a tear to my eye to see such greatness.

It was horribly predictable.

I'm so fucking sick of this "bro" shit.

Was it me/Jiko/Casual Cat changing our names that gave it away?

I was there in the chat when Ravi first went nuts.

Also, opinions on renaming the site Metal Gear Bros? MGB for short?

And the following page of lulz, among other instances of rampancy that I can't find.

Good times. Mr. Green

I did kind of see the Bro-down coming but the pay off was awesome. The highlight was probably the hypothetical argument about whether Big Boss or Solid Snake is the true hero, that shit needs it's own article.

I thought it was brilliant. It caught me completely by surprise (quite hilariously) because I hadn't been paying enough attention to see it coming. I guess the MGS Social Bros thing was going on for a while before April Fool's?

I'm surprised that people actually like that article. I thought it was way too repetitive, long, and preachy. Especially towards the end, where I abandoned all the "bro" humor and just went on a seven paragraph rant filled with the most tangy of angsty Solid Snake fanboy cum.

What do you mean by "its own article"? I heard someone else say the same thing and I'm just as confused then as I am now. Do you mean, like, an official Ravi Singh written article? I doubt that will ever happen/be necessary.
But still, I'm glad you riked it. Mr. Green

Yep, though it was better known as "MGSBros Social Club" (I guess Ravi had to change the title because of Wordpress' title restrictions.)

Dumbledore voice: Come forth, children! Hear the story of how the quest for Brohood began!

It started in a Java Chat sometime after PW's release. I was there with Polly, Ravi, and someone else. I said I haven't really gotten into POLICENAUTS yet, and then Ravi (jokingly) accused me of being an MPO fan that thinks Raiden is gay. His sanity went downhill from there and it even poured into the Soup sometimes. I described it as him being "high (on life.)"
Sometime after "A World of Men, Not Snakes" was published, I was alone in TinyChat. Ravi joined and we both were just fucking high (on life) man. Others joined (read Kunty J's post) to watch this grand spectacle. And that's where the idea for this project began. Ravi gave me the log-in and I went to town.
In order to sort of "advertise" MGSBros a bit, I changed my name and personality to that of my bro persona, JKillaz224, and others tagged along on several occasions. T'was fun.

This whole thing was great. I seriously can't thank Ravi enough for letting me do this!

Some parts were exaggerated, but I think I portrayed the "idiotic Big Boss fanboy" aspect quite accurately.
