For those who missed the forum migration, there were witty lines, jokes and puns cycled every couple of seconds on the website, similar to those in the loading screen when launching the game.

I loved the little inside-jokes, like "Removing all data from between September 2012 and April 2013", "Porting KSP to a Nokia 3310", Repurposing Round-8", and "Blaming Unity"

Well done, everyone.
