You're lucky he's not a shivan Goober. The entire Great war was because someone at GTI insulted the Shivans mum.

Perhaps one of the admins should delete all those April Fools threads, except the ones in Site Support and General Discussion. I'm getting annoyed with 101000 April threads everywhere I look :mad2:

Holy dog toffee! Don't even think about such things. If there was to be any administrating regarding all the April Fool's related threads, it should merely be merging all of them into a single thread and then moving it into The Classics.

Maybe it's just me, but I enjoyed the April Fools joke.

The RickRolls were annoying.
The Identity crisis was fun.

They're done with.
Get over it.

If you don't like April fool's jokes.... then don't come on the forum on that day. It works for me.

I thought someone stole my thread when I went to check on it on April 1st. Then, I realized it was April Fools and had a laugh.

I'm normally ok with the april fools jokes around here too. But, the name switch thing i didn't particularly enjoy either. Well, it's much past april 1st now. On to the next :hopping:

Just out of curiousuty, What's the projected date for Pirate Day 08?
Title: Re: Stop The Goober!!!
Post by: Goober5000 on April 10, 2008, 01:05:22 pm
Same day as always. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Talk_Like_a_Pirate_Day)

Ahh, thats AGEeeeeeeeees..................


Can't we have a warm-up at some random point?
Title: Re: Stop The Goober!!!
Post by: Wobble73 on April 11, 2008, 07:37:26 am
Yeah, or how about a "Talk Like an Oirish man" day or something similar!  :D

The admins have already chosen too large a set of days to make the forums painfully unreadable.  Let's not suggest any more to them.

Before the inevitable, "You don't have to visit the forums on those days," I'd like to point out that (1) I don't, and (2) from an entirely pragmatic perspective, surpressing forum traffic means surpressing banner ad revenue.

Well, I wouldn't say "painfully unreadable". This April Fool's did make it slightly difficult to know, who said what, but that's not too bad. Talk Like a Pirate might mess some things up a bit, but it's minor.

I'd be more concerned about events like this (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,53083.msg1074884.html#msg1074884) happening again.

That was a fun one to read back through.....

On a side-note, did anyone else read the thread title to the tune of "catch the pigeon"?

Yes, I did, kept thinking, stop that Goober now! :lol:

Let him have his fun, it's only two days out of the year (though I detest Pirate day more)...

Now with all the "rick Rolling" going on various sites that day the only one I found hateful was the one you have to use Task Manager to shut down Firefox (losing all your windows) cuase the ****ing thing wouldn't close!

That's semi malicious cause you've inconvienced my web surfing (an act of war!) :)

We keep Goob around as a WMD... (Weapon of Mass Distraction)...

I wonder how the Shivans might feel about Tribbles?  :lol:

I've already had to explain to Goober once who Dastardly and Muttley are so he might actually get the reference now. :D


Apparently they're better known over this side of the pond than in their own home country. :)
