...had better be good this time - we need it. The last one was halarious until they couldn't bring the board back up for a week.
-
April Fools? That's where people prank other people by doing something foolish?
-
Something like the admins doing a little bit of special stuff... sort of like turning the colour scheme to be neon pink and neon green...
-
just be sure to keep the bull**** on the forums for bull****. last thing we need is to read eachothers code in yiddish :D
-
I hope it's better than last year's at least. All they had then was a text filter; kind of a let down after the insanity of April Fools '05. :D
-
I don't really expect much more than that, really... Considerring the uproar everyone gets into about things :p

I was going to say that.

Hey on April 1st go back the old layout, after that, switch back.
-
I'm still rooting for a Black Wolf-style drunken text filter.

I vote that Jesus Christ comes to establish the kingdom of heaven here.
-
Although, what would really be great is if Kazan could be here for that.
-
I really, really, shouldn't ask, but what happened for last year's April Fools? And what did they do for the '05 one?
-
06 was Yarr, pirate filter.
'05 was an0n taking over the forums and deleting hosted projects. That was hilarious.
-
No, '05 was pirate-speak filter as a cover for the hostile an0n takeover. '06 was the Swedish Muppet Chef-speak filter which kinda paled in comparison to '05.

Oh, that's right.
Well, the '05 April Fools really borked the forum, didn't it? :p :D
-
I can understand why people who were actually involved in projects got upset about it, but for a non-contributing leech on the system like me, it was pretty awesome. :D
-
I think any sort of April fools trick will have to be much more mundane this year. The last couple of years were far less productive.
-
Uh, oh........ Thats right, I remember. (gulp).
Braces for the unknown... :nervous:
Seriously though, it did give me a laugh, or two.. :p
-
I've thought of one, but you'll have to wait till the day to find out what.
-
It better be more than just translating all of our posts into ebonics or something.

Nah. The more the merrier! This past week was just the sneak preview! :D
Okay, maybe something less drastic, but still cool. :nervous:

[Band music]
Sun-day!
SUN-DAY!!
The forum will be fun...
on Sun-day!
Because Sun-day...
Is just a ...
erm...
three days?
AWAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

until they couldn't bring the board back up for a week.
That was the joke.
-
Well, even if nothing happens at all someone is bound to complain about it...
-
That would be a great joke :yes:.
-
I vote you make all members moderators for the day!!
Imagine the fun everyone banning or monkeying each other!!!
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
Uh, banning or monkeying can only be done by admins...
-
Or so you've been led to believe... :drevil:
-
Nothing to see here..... :nervous:
-
Yet :D
-
I think this year whatever they do will be small, to not upset the many people *****ing here.
I throw up a green light for a third try, at a big april fools day. Just dont mess it up this time, and you CAN redem yourselves, ADMINS!
-
I say add random politeness to everyone's posts. Sort of like INTERCAL (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INTERCAL) and its PLEASE operator. :D
-

No.
As long as something that stupid doesn't happen, I for one will be perfectly satisfied.

How about the HardLight staff email Derek Smart and tell him "we're really sorry for the way we treated you and could you please develop Freespace 3"

There`s no room here for another bully, mistfit, so no coke machines in the halls. :lol:
Please.... I wish everyone would just forget about Derek Smart... :nod:

Are you sure? I thought it was funny...
Anyway, if they do anything at all, It probably won't have been suggested here, for all to see. Then it wouldn't be funny or crazy or anything.

Sadly someone would probably be staring down the face of a lawsuit. Not something we really want.

Can he even afford lawyers anymore?

Airlock? No. Out the environmental system. We're depressurizing that whole section of the station in case there was contamination.
-
Ok, back on topic. ;)
Hmmm, april fools is tomorrow, sunday.
At least I won`t be at work, got that day off..
Ah, i`ll be on the boards at midnight, maybe catch the on-slot of a new day.. :lol: :D
-
Don't worry, as soon as it's Sunday we'll have something in place :)
-
Tomorrow!
TOMORROW!
I'm afraid of...
TOMORROW!
Because TOMORROW
is just a
DAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
AAAAAAA-WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
EDIT: WOw... POst 666!
-
I think we should just release Beyond the Red Line and then take it down on the 2nd when no one believes us. :D
Phase 1 already in motion. :p
-
EDIT: WOw... POst 666!
I made my Post #666 in a thread about evangelicals...
--------------------------------
I can't wait to see what they do tomorrow...I've got that excited/anticipated feeling, kind of like the feeling you get at 7PM on X-Mas Eve when you're a little kid... :D
-
So, how will it be decided when April Fools is. Does it depend on where the servers are, or are you going to use GMT?
-
Oh crap.
It's 12:10 AM, 4/1/07.
HEAD FOR THE HILLS.
-
I don't see anything yet.
-
Exactly, neither do I. It would've been midnight in Greenwich a long time ago, so maybe the servers are in California or something and they're waiting until it's midnight there. :confused:
-
Heh.. no, it's there alright. Just because some places would spoon feed you a story about them closing down or something doesn't mean we're going to do anything quite so blatant.
Keep looking :p
-
I suggest Simlish talk this year :lol:
Ya gogo taka make rocuke bowenaawana.
-
whaaaaaa 0.o
tell me the forum split was a joke :)
-
Nope, it's something else. Keep looking :)
-
give us a hint
-
And spoil the joke? No :p
-
well theres not gonna be a joke if you cant find one now will there
-
Well so far it's been awfully quiet.. maybe the joke is that there is no joke this year? :P
-
If you start thinking that then you'll have created a whole new joke for us!
I guess a semi-hint couldn't hurt if you're having trouble.
You can only see it when you allow it to see you.
Have fun! :D
-
So, has anyone else tried out Google's new FREE TiSP system? :D
Also I have no idea what the joke is here.
-
Did you get rid of it after 12:00? Cause I woke up @ 12:00.
-
Nope, it'll be up till at least midnight GMT and - knowing us - it'll stay up for a few days after that...
-
Um... JohnDoe will do...
Who is this guy? Keyboard with feet? :wtf:
Either this guy is clueless or this is some kind of April Fools joke... If he is clueless, don't tell him I said this.
-
Heh.. no, it's there alright. Just because some places would spoon feed you a story about them closing down or something doesn't mean we're going to do anything quite so blatant.
Keep looking :p
Is it the BSG: BTRL demo? :nervous:
-
I bet the joke is that there is no joke. At like 11pm, the admins are going to be like "ApR1l F00L55!!!" and they'd be like "haha! got you!! you thought there was going to be a joke, but we sure showed you!!! haha! your all FOOLS!!!!"
-
I'm going with sizzler's comment.
You just fell for the trap.
-
Edited out-DT
-
Not only is it April fools, but the girl I likes periods is today :blah: What the ****, man?
So? She's not your girlfriend so I don't think she would go sleep with you (unless she's a friend with benefits), ornI missed your meaning totally and periods are some kind of exams.
-
:lol: Dr Freud to Ward 6!
-
To those of you who think the joke is that there is no joke... that's the funniest guess I've heard so far.
Shame it's wrong ;)
-
if its firewall related, i rather not. besides, guess im gonna miss the "joke"
-
Hmm, found one weird thing!
Could it be?
No, it couldn`t be that!
Maybe a hint?
One hour.
One day.
Forever.
-

It doesn't really matter if nobody can figure it out. :p
-
:lol: Dr Freud to Ward 6!
:lol: You know, just forget I said that
-
Edited out, cuz I'm an asshole-DT
-
Uh... I noticed that... the posting time...
Or maybe I forgot to change the time offset when we passed to DST...
@admins if I spoiled the fool: sorry, but anyway only some hours are remaining before the end of 1st april...
-
Has anyone worked it out yet? It can't be the clock surely, that must just be a side effect.
-
The (bad) (humorless) (annoying) (stupid) joke is JohnDoe...
-
*ahem* :D
-
*ahem* :D
Thank you for admitting that you're JohnDoe... I'll post it momentarily.
-
Shoulda gone with my idea.
-
Well, it's almost the end of the day here. I think it's safe to say that this year's April Fools joke was a flop, whatever it was.
-
I'll have to post the april fools jokes from mod the sims and insimenator... *wipes away the tears of laughtor*
-
i can definately say that google's joke this year is better than yours
http://www.google.com/tisp/
-
I am truly disappointed with the administration. I'm sorry, but I expected more from you. Your behavior was unacceptable. :blah:
:P
-
Their just building up for next years
*crosses fingers*
-
when an0n takes over for real...
-
well this "joke" was ..... not funny, i didnt even find / get it, so ... pointless and lame
-
I think I know where the joke is, and if it is where and what I think it is, you wouldn't be laughing anyway :p
Edit : Though I must admit a good laugh myself. I want Extra Single Player!

Speaking of april fools, http://www.wcnews.com/
They've been doing the same FS bashing for april fools, again, and again, and again.
We should all feel flattered to be on the recieving end of such obsession. Let's spam their board!
-
:wtf: Or not.
It is flattering that they remember us from year to year. It truly is. Truthfully, I had completely forgotten that they even existed until I saw the CIC ads again. I guess they would disappear from existence if nobody would remember them. :D
-
Well, it's April the second. Time to come clean!
First off, apologies to those who said "I'll bet the joke is that there is no joke". I lied, you were right. We didn't do anything and to those who spent any amount of time looking for something... gotcha!
Granted this is not the funniest thing we could do. But given recent events and a few other factors, I figured it would be safest not to go messing around with things right now. A number of the admins agreed.
Apologies to those who feel let down by the lack of any more substantial April Fools joke :)
As for WingCIC - I find it quite ironic that they resort to mentioning FreeSpace for their April Fools yet again. Is there really nothing amusing about Wing Commander that they could've picked up on this year? Are they really that obsessed with FreeSpace that they can't help but mention it year after year? These are questions I may not see answered - but it's funny to me anyway :D
-
*ahem* :D
Thank you for admitting that you're JohnDoe... I'll post it momentarily.
Actually, I posted that purely to sow confusion and suspicion among your ranks. I have no more of an idea who's behind JohnDoe than you do.
-
You know, I started to hate April fools day, since the most standard joke is: your shoe ties are untied.
And quess what... they where untied....
OUCH!!!!
-
I thought the CIC joke was pretty damn funny to be honest, it was more pointing fun at Smarty-pants, and I still laugh at 'Extra single player' mode ;)
