Not sure how I was supposed to know it wasn’t a fact or a claim from this post. You provided no means of identifying this as a joke.
If you post something without any sort of indicators of humor or sarcasm then at that point it becomes a claim (definition: statement or assertion that something is the case, typically without providing evidence or proof.)
If you’d provided backing evidence then you could have made the case that it is a fact. Instead you said that you haven’t been on the forums much in a month or two yet you’re still getting involved in a discussion here about weekly forum updates.
I’m at a bit of a loss for words but hopefully the irony isn’t lost?
