Anyone new to Prospers.org (or to Prosper.com) is likely to see a bewildering group of acronyms -- 0/0/0, ACH, AF, ROI, TOS, etc., as well as other terms whose meaning is not obvious -- Black Friday, Sock Puppet, Snickers (Bar), etc.  You can learn what all these terms (and many others) mean at the Prospers.org Glossary.

Perhaps Black Friday 2 12/14/2007 The day Prosper threatened a multitude of members for references to Pro$pers.org on their member pages.

I did not coin the phrase - I saw it in another post.

I thought we were calling that turkey day, cause of the proximity to thanksgiving.  Prosper was certainly thankful they killed the forums...

12/14 was not that close to Thanksgiving.  Turkey Day would be a better name for the day Prosper pulled the plug on the old forums, which was the day before Thanksgiving IIRC.

Thats when they closed them, yeah.

But the real turkey came out the week AFTER thanksgiving - when the new fiasco opened.
