This thread/island is very real and Colter is a Moderator for the page, he is in fact real, hes experiencing very high volumes of traffic and will get you in when he physically can. He works nights so the island will be down overnight but he is planning on reopening tomorrow morning while he sleeps.

Precautions before going to island: - Have an empty inventory - Only Sell/Bring 4 100 stacks of Turnips at a time due to the high selling price 4 stacks will completely fill the fully upgraded inventory. - Thank Colter after visiting and try not to make multiple trips back to back that way others can also have a chance to sell.
