Update:
After one crazy night of theories, server mayhem and IP tracing, we've finally gotten to the bottom of this mess. In a twist of hilarity, it seems that Gabe Newell's account password was set to 'gaben'. Person x guessed this and made the "going gold on Monday" post which we've heard so much about. The user (who we believe is the same person x) then made this post just minutes ago using Gabe's account:
Maybe he shouldn't have used 'gaben' for his password. Come on Gabe, you could of thought of something better than that
After a quick double-check, it seems that this was exactly what happened. Reminds me of the good old days.

false.
Do you really think the gold announcement will be made with a 4 word forum post? OMFG will count as four words by itself! :-]
Also, patient is not a word I would use to describe people's manner of waiting.
At any rate, it's 8:18am ... sorry I slept in or I would have stomped sooner. At any other rate, it looks like hl2fallout.com cleared things up a while ago (relatively) with their Fool's Gold post.
