My clock says 6:11 PM on MONDAY, MARCH 31, 2008.
Yet I am still being
Rick Roll'd by every $#@!ing external link. You damned GMT bastards!
-
Its still 5:00 where I live. Can't you guys set that thing to activate based on the user's time zone?
-
Its 5:00 where I live too...
However we are kinda asking for it since us pacific people are on the far end of the time scale. We're the last ones to hit april fools day, and the poor guys in new zealand are already almost out of it by then.
-
April Fools runs on internet time. The day starts when New Zealand hits midnight, and doesn't finish until the Aleutian Islands hit 11:59 PM. :p
Besides, Rick Roll is just the appetizer. The best is yet to come. ;7
-
Goober, you are one sick bastard :P

Well I didn't want to short-change our Kiwi colleagues. It's already 1:26 PM (http://www.google.com/search?q=current+time+in+new+zealand) over there. I actually ran several hours late. :(
-
Watch it all be unicode or something.
THEN I'd laugh.
What a wonderful day before my birthday (which is April 2nd, not first. Cause it's still the 31st here too :doubt:)
1:26 PM (http://www.google.com/search?q=current+time+in+new+zealand) over there.
You bastard. I'm not falling for that :P
Besides. I can see what all links lead too at the bottom of firefox anyway. Built in protection :P
-
I find the fact that we are currently experiencing the first thunderstorm of the year a slightly disturbing coincidence.
-
I'm not. It just snowed a lot.
-
Well yeah it snowed here too. I mean, what the hell is this, the weather's april fool's joke? I mean come on, snow in the end of MARCH? :lol:
-
....In like a lion, out like a-
Ok, I'll shut up...
-
We've had a lot of snow too. Sigh... Living in NS, I'll just wait 5 seconds.

Heh, good one Goob. I have to say I'm impressed at this one, especially as I was just reading this thread. (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,52160.0.html)

Just post the actual link.

Someone is not a Merry Man....

What!! Wait a minuet... :eek2: Thats not the link I clicked!!
Ahhhh, took a while to figure why all links bring up that.
Hmm, kind of like the video anyway, awh hell, go for it Goob. :D

I just realized that it's just about April 1st. Damn, this will make the 158th release look suspicious. :(

It's done already! That's 2 in one day! (INFASA)
What's next? BWO? ST:R? INFSCP? BtRL?

damn, that would be funny :lol:

I was just surfing through forums, clicking links that sounded cool; average stuff. When I get to the end of my Firefox tabs, I GET 20 ****ING TABS OF RICK ROLL!
I think I speak for us all when I say: CURSE YOU, GOOBER!!!!
-
You must give me the script you're using!
-
:lol: I wonder if there's some sort of record for number of successful Rick Rolls per hour, and whether I've broken it.
The really funny thing is that I've Rick Roll'd myself a couple times.
EDIT: The script is pretty trivial. Just hack into the BB code and replace the (url)(/url) tags with links to the video.
-
Eh, you could have done better. The rickroll links are common enough on other forums that I tend to instinctively look down at the status bar before clicking on any links these days. :p
You should have done something more reflective of current affairs here, like making the entire forum show up in the rainbow colors from blackhole's program. :D

I gave him a PHP script to do that, but he wanted to do the rickrolling instead :P
-
Poor Goob still can't get over his precious ST:R rickroll :rolleyes:
He even ruined the Donation thread link all over the site :P
and not to mention the highlights.

Why is it when I clicked for some shine-maps I get THIS!?

We did that last year actually. The real joke was that we actually DID release the demo. :D

I think someone else just broke that record. :p Check out YouTube. (I'd link but... you know)

Apparently that too is an april fool's joke, because besides the rickrolling (and yeah, I clicked a few of them. Damn you :p) nothing strange and horrible seems to be happening. At least, not yet... :nervous:
[Edit] And just as I posted that, the whole forums slowed to a crawl, telling me that it's starting... nice timing ;)
[Edit] Oohh, how very random. That's a new one. Mouseover gives it away though. Oh, and bonus points for lagging GW just as badly as HLP :p

Yep, YouTube Rickrolled themselves. :D

[creaky old man voice]You young whippersnappers! Back in my day we replaced our links with goatse.cx![/creaky old man voice]

Oh, this is really nuclear1 btw.

Goober indeed released Hell... :p
-
Nice, it made me into judge floro. :D
How exactly does it choose the new user? I'm seeing a number of obscure people with only a few posts, some from many years ago, but at the same time the current regulars are still more common than you would expect if it's picking them at random from the entire user list.

And here I thought being Rick Rolled was wacky... :lol:

Nah, we've done that already.

When you first log on, it makes a list of all the user IDs from all the messages posted during the past 15 days. (This is why everything slowed to a crawl when I first turned it on -- everybody online was populating their cache.) It then selects a random user ID from that list. This method has the advantage that the people who post more often have a higher chance of being selected.
There is a 1 in 10 chance that someone from the entire user list -- not just someone from the past 15 days -- will be selected. And there's a few-in-500 chance that an additional random profile tweak will be performed.

*ponders* This could be a very poor joke with someone confused about their identity to begin with....
EDIT: MOBIUS?! You've got to be effing kidding me!
-
"Additional random profile tweak"? I don't like the sound of that.
-
Does it just change your identity at random?
EDIT:
I thought so

Nah, we've done that already.
Let me guess... It got stuck that way for the next five weeks?

Oi. While I was at the uni, I thought I saw a feature that mobified every other post. What happened to it?

Dammit, howcome noone is ever me?

*points the blaming finger at Mr. Vega* You... are not amusing. That's why.

As long as I'm not mobius
cool you show up as yourself on the last post

The worst thing is that I've seen someone else as me, while I was everyone else ( Snail, Mobius, Goober, etc. )
First time I saw that names were mixed up, I almost freaked out.

It seems the Info Center below the forums wasn't changed, so you can see who posted what, provided it was one of the last 10 posts.

Quoting works, too. As does moving to the Reply window.
In related news, has it occurred that one gag could involve running every post through some porn translator or something? Or has it been done already? Or is it "old" because Talk Like a Pirate Day causes quite similar results?

Speaking of which, I just noticed that since you're username changes every time, there's no 1 minute post wait.. SPAMMERS REJOICE!
It looks like this April fools joke can backfire spectacularly yet.

You fail to grasp the situation, grasshopper. We've already been through that -"I'M A HOMO" -"Hehe, he said he's a homo" discussion. That didn't go well.

I didn't know there was a 1 min post wait.

Or maybe it's just because you're a bad spammer.

Yup, there's definitely no 1 minute post wait.

why can i see other user's IP addresses? They usually show up as 'logged', but every few would be actually printed out.

They did nothing last year.

Which was in itself an April fools thing.
Seriously, while they got the day off doing whatever an admin regularly does, the various campaign and mod members were scared into thinking what the admins would do that would be worse than the year before that one.

I'm kind of surprised nobody mentioned the random signature change.
-
Was there a random signature change as well? I thought the sigs only changed according to the user names.
-
There was a 4 in 500 chance that one of the following would happen:
1) A poster would appear as Setekh
2) A poster would appear as Janos
3) A poster would appear as Guest
4) A signature would display the lyrics to Leekspin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leekspin). In Finnish.
These odds were recalculated for every post that was displayed, so if you viewed a significant number of posts, you had a strong chance of seeing at least one of these.

Oh...that didn't happen for me. Regardless, I felt that the user mix-up was quite fun. I thoroughly enjoyed it even though I was late for April Fool's Day. :nod:
