Title: Epreel Fuuls?
Post by: Polpolion on March 31, 2006, 09:14:07 pm: Either this is an April Fools joke, or you guys have changed the fourm launguage to have some kinda crazy-ass accent!

(If it is an April fools joke)

Good job, though. One of the most annoying jokes I've ever come across! Kudos to you!

Title: Re-a-a: Ipreel Fooooooools?
Post by: CP5670 on March 31, 2006, 11:18:28 pm: In mid-2365, Admiral Aken Bosch, commander of the GTVA 6th Fleet, launched a violent military coup in the Polaris system. Within weeks, a regional domino effect also toppled the governments of Regulus and Sirius, all swearing allegiance to Bosch and his Neo-Terran Front.

Bosch's vision of Neo-Terra informs the ideology of his movement. Though Terrans have lived in exile from Earth since the end of the Great War, Bosch imagined a utopia that would restore the grandeur of the lost world. As the people of Earth once relied on Polaris to help them navigate the seas, the North Star would become the spiritual and political compass for Terrans of the new era. Bosch's message had a profound impact on the so-called Lost Generation, born during the post-war Reconstruction. The Neo-Terran Front provided the youth of Polaris, Regulus, and Sirius with a cause to fight and die for.

Bosch succeeded because his pro-Terran ideology was explicitly anti-Vasudan. The NTF opposed any Terran-Vasudan alliance and called for the dissolution of the GTVA. The NTF core systems had suffered political and economic chaos throughout the post-war Reconstruction. The Vasudans' miraculous recovery under Khonsu II's leadership embittered those Terrans still struggling to rebuild their own systems. Bosch exploited this anti-Vasudan sentiment to achieve his own political ends.

So HLP crew you can add one stupid guy, (me), to your "Who's going to be so nerd to believe this" list. :mad:

But I must ask, what the hell is April Fools? Is it an English/American tradition? Here in Spain we make jokes in December 28th, (El día de los Santos Inocentes = Innoncent Saints Day), with fake news and so on. So yesterday I couldn't imagine it was a Jokes Day of any kind...

Please forget my previous post, it's really rude.
Title: Re: Epreel Fuuls?
Post by: ZylonBane on April 02, 2006, 11:54:41 am: The whole April Fool's message board language filter thing might have qualified as minutely clever a few years ago, but it's so utterly common these days that to even call it boring would be a compliment. Even if you find it funny once, having to read an entire filtered forum is like having to listen to someone tell the same (lame) joke over and over and over and over and over for an entire day.

The point of April Fool's is to fool people, right? If the only people you can fool are idiots or people who don't even know about April Fool's day, that says something about the quality of your prank right there.

Not sure where it comes from...but its seemingly a English tradition of some sort. It may be strictly a North American thing...I'm not sure. But you should not believe anything that happens anywhere online in reference to anything North American on April 1st. Usually its a half day of pranks...

Some people take it further than others.

Last year was class. It was chaos&panic all over the place. I found it especially amusing that certain people started brown-nosing 'anon' in hope for privileges(?) on the new anon-run HLP ..... it was priceless.

A jolly pirate thread (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,31782.0.html)

"An0n" first notices he's no longer banned (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,31520.msg654651.html#msg654651)

Pirate nonsense, plus forumites worried about "an0n" making several subtle changes to HLP (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,31789.0.html)

More worrying (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,31790.0.html)

"An0n" makes the Grognards forum visible and demotes some admins (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,31801.0.html)

"An0n" changes Hard Light Art to Dungeon Pr0n (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,31810.0.html)

"An0n" formally declares himself ruler of HLP (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,31811.0.html); the first forum is deleted; Sandwich accidentally reveals (and quickly deletes) part of the joke :p

"An0n" complains about people not getting into the spirit of things (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,31816.0.html)

"An0n" deletes the SCP forum (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,31817.0.html)

Several members completely freak out (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,31818.0.html)

That's entirely missing the point. Having the forums go down for a day due to circumstances beyond our control is one thing, but having them become useless for a day on purpose is just a giant middle finger to the community. There's nothing funny about it.

Then the admins get all pissy about people not appreciating the genius wit of slapping a language filter plugin on the forums. How dare people actually value the ability to clearly communicate with each other... you know, the only reason they come here in the first place? So, given that language filters aren't amusing (unless you have the IQ of a football hooligan), and that they significantly hamper communication, next year the admins should just be honest with themselves and slap a ROT13 filter on the whole forum.

And all the people complaining .... this is a forum, on the internet, you're not paying for it. So you should be able to live without it for a while.
That's entirely missing the point. Having the forums go down for a day due to circumstances beyond our control is one thing, but having them become useless for a day on purpose is just a giant middle finger to the community. There's nothing funny about it.

Then the admins get all pissy about people not appreciating the genius wit of slapping a language filter plugin on the forums. How dare people actually value the ability to clearly communicate with each other... you know, the only reason they come here in the first place? So, given that language filters aren't amusing (unless you have the IQ of a football hooligan), and that they significantly hamper communication, next year the admins should just be honest with themselves and slap a ROT13 filter on the whole forum.

Well, I found it hilarious. But then again, I think that generally a lot more of middle fingers should be shown to a lot of people (to make the world a better place), but that's just IMO. Other people might think otherwise but they're wrong. That's another IMO.

Post by: Nix on April 05, 2006, 03:33:12 am: I didn't see anything really wrong with it, being on a weekend, one day only, apparently the admins had confidence the forums could be restored without incident, and it was done in good, harmless fun. One single day. It's not like the admins owe anyone here "five nines". I don't know about anyone else, but I was outside enjoying the first sunny weekend I've had in about three weeks. It's much more annoying to me whenever they have to go down for mysterious "administration" issues, which only the in-the-know people really know why they'll be going down for a day or so. As I said before, I would have preferred if it was limited to just the Hard-Light forum instead of it creeping down in the General Freespace/Campaigns forums, but it was gone in a day. It's good to relax once in a while.

Post by: Styxx on April 05, 2006, 12:30:16 pm: Regarding last year's april fools (since it was brought up, and the same sour apples (maybe remove the "s" from that) are still complaining): we don't make anyone come here, so if you want to complain about anything, go do so somewhere else. There's too little random power abuse by the Admins as it is, as far as I'm concerned. We could make a deal, though: you pay a monthly fee for forum access, and we (try to) make sure you won't be randomly abused. What about that?

:p

"An0n" formally declares himself ruler of HLP (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,31811.0.html); the first forum is deleted; Sandwich accidentally reveals (and quickly deletes) part of the joke :p

Was that the thread that had my screenshot that got deleted?

'Tis indeed. I'm not sure whether we deleted it or whether it got swept away with the rest of the attachments when we moved.

Your goof. You made a post expressing your shock and outrage at an0n, as an0n. :p

It was going so well up until then. That was what caused the majority of people to switch from believing it was true to believing it was a joke. :p
