Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes! Turn and Face the Rain, Ch-Ch-Changes!

Jorgen Hahn, our resident Rollerblading Expert and Matthew McConaughey impersonator, was taken into protective custody earlier this morning by Federal Agents after receiving a number of vicious death threats stemming from the abrupt removal of the BLOGS link button on the popular real estate network, ActiveRain. Though we could not confirm or deny, anonymous sources revealed that Mr. Hahn has been enrolled in a witness protection program, and is now an employee of the Best Buy store in Dubuque, Iowa, working for the Geek Squad.

A generous reward has been raised by a very irrate group of 'Rainers' (slang term for ActiveRain members) organized by ring-leader, Amanda "I Hate the Blog Button Change" Hall, demanded a speedy return of the cherished BLOGS link button.

News of the BLOGS link removal on Twitter sent stock prices spiraling further downward. CEO Jonathan Washburn was unavailable for comment.

U P D A T E: An anonymous tip just came in to our Missing BLOGS Link Button Hotline with a location change for fugitive Jorgen Hahn. He's been moved from Dubuque, and has been relocated to a safe house in Upper Manhattan, and will be posing as an understudy for the male lead in the Broadway production of "Xanadu."

As the tide of member dissension is rising, ActiveRain Poster Child, Brad Andersohn, has mounted a massive search for the missing BLOGS link. Stock prices for RealSeekr closed on Friday at an all-time high!

I FOUND IT! I FOUND IT! I FOUND IT!

The Posse returns, we have HUNG the Judge, Jury, and Sherrif, and put the BLOG link back where it belongs!!

Meanwhile, we now have to find Jorgen, rumor has it he created a post with regret, and someone has removed his DELETE key. The MASSIVE search begins once again for the next "missing link".....

Presently, I am leaving my campaign trail (running for coronerdog catcher of my county) to write a bill to take to the Big House where they are holding Jorgen (for playing naked Bongo) and Rich (in protective custody just for writing this post) who is currently redecorating Martha Stewart's cell.

In exchange for the return of the Blog Button:

-Jorgen's name will be added to spell check so that big red line won't remind us that he is the taker of blog button (which created a black hole in the universe).

-Jorgen gets an endorsement deal with Rollerblade

-Rich is allowed out of witness protection

-Rich is given a new television show teaching you how to redecorate small spaces with whatever you can find in a jail cell

I want to thank everyone who participated in these negotiations and congratulations to Jorgen on his endorsement deal and Rich on his new television show.

I want you all to go and use that Blog Button for the good of our community.

I am Julie Chapman, Julie Chapman and Julie Chapman and I endorse this comment....

OMG I thought I had lost my freakin mind yesterday when I couldn't find that button! I felt like the lone ranger in that I thought everybody else probably knew where it went and I was left out of the loop, didn't get the memo, whatever! HILARIOUS!

I got onto AR and went to check out the blogs I subscribe to and the BUTTON WAS GONE! I freaked out and didn't get back on until today and boy, was I glad you put the button back.

Thanks Rich, Brad, etc. By the way, you are going to receive a package on Monday. At this point it is probably best to just discard it. :)

At least i am not alone in this madness. I had thought it a hallucination at first. Thanks for returning the button. Now that everything is okay with AR, we just have to restore sanity to the rest of the world.
