Title: Good April's Fools Jokes?
Post by: adwight on March 15, 2005, 11:11:42 pm: Since it's coming up in a few weeks, what are some of the best AFJ you've ever heard, or one's that you have ever done?

Post by: Grug on March 16, 2005, 12:07:44 am: Damn beat me to it.

I wonder what the admins will do to us this year... :p
I still hope we can function normally at least... :)

Hmm, if I were an admin, what would I do to HLP'ers?
-Rename everyone to an0n? :p
-Remove all hosted images and replace with the firefox logo? :)
-Send a banned PM to everyone. :devil:
-Add a forum for discussion about how awsome holidwood is? :ick:

As for jokes at home, pff. Maybe replace the sugar jar next to the coffee with salt... :ick: But then everyone would be throwing up...

Ordering "started" April 1st...

Well you have been around for a long time.
I know you became an admin here when Freespace watch shut down.
But you were still around HLP before then...
Not sure how long before that though. :confused:

Well, IIRC, you're credited in the FS1 credits as a tester. That means you were in the FS communitiy before it even existed. ;)

Post by: Rictor on March 16, 2005, 08:48:46 am: Actually if it its possible to either
-somehow "lock" the forums, so that no user info could be changed
or
-make a backup of the database

then the admins could change everyone's password to "freespace", make it publicly known and let the chaos ensue. Anyone could post as anyone else, though you would need a system in place to prevent people from permanently changing some else's password and therefore hijacking the user.

Post by: Grug on March 16, 2005, 03:13:28 pm: What's so great about the PM's?

Scanning through mine, I find none of interest.
I think a HLP is moving back to vbb would be funny's.

Just be very careful who you play it on. Give it to someone with a heart condition and it's the only thing you need for a good prison term :D

Post by: kasperl on March 17, 2005, 02:54:06 am: Any other good harmless ideas for pranks?

I'm somewhat considering installing a BSoD screensaver on the school computers, but I'm not sure everybody would be amused.
