HSSSSSS THE UNICORNSSSSSSS
AGENTSSSSSSSS OF THE FLYING SHARK
-
WHAT THE HELL IS ALL THIS
-
THE UNICORNSSSSSS HAVE WITHDRAWN THEIR ATTACK
-
Wow, Swantz got invaded. I just have a few cute cuddly friends on mine. Happy April 1! :)
-
Hahaha... NoScript.
-
I Wike Ponies!
-
OK I know it is an April fools tradition to mess with the boards but this unicorm pop up crap is just way too disruptive.
-
Shut your pie hole; they've got hello kitty riding a pony!
-
I wasn't getting them until I came to this thread, WTF did you make me do? :p
-
It's unicorn and rainbow happiness! Everyone gets a puppy!
(Sadly the threads on private boards and support boards are bereft of unicorn and rainbow happiness. :()
-
i have yet to see a thing
(i credit chrome)
-
aaaaaaaaahaha literally the next minute i got a swarm of them
-
You should have arranged for Always by Erasure to play in the background for maximum effectiveness.
-

While I usually enjoy the annual pranks and pirate day filters, this one just makes it too hard to read anything. I actually thought something was wrong with my PC for a second there when I scrolled down the page and the images didn't move.
Edit: And if you are a male and find that unicorns and hello kitty excite you then something is definitely wrong.
-
HSSSSSSS YOU WILL DO BATTLE WITH THE UNICORNSSSSSSS
-
Why are the boards covered in ponies?
and glitter?
-
Oh good christ, every page it keeps getting WORSE. :lol:
-
Srsly, if ya'll can't (or wont) manage to survive this, then I think there are much larger issues at hand than what is or is not exciting.
But then, I don't see what anybody else is seeing save from a screenshot that got sent to me, so...
-
Just as I vowed to go on a quest to find unicorns, I closed the tab and got flooded with them. I think they're watching us. :nervous:
-
Cause it's cool and gliterry.
-
Amusingly, there were none in this thread when I started.
-
Holy **** I thought the site was hacked.I was just about to report that until I saw this thread!
-
It's pretty annoying, like most April fool's jokes.
Fortunately turning the script blocker back on took care of it.
-
Reminds me of some unicorn-sex fan-fiction that I... well, that I heard someone read.
I love horses best of all the animals
I love horses. They're my friends
-
Reminds me of some unicorn-sex fan-fiction that I... well, that I heard someone read.
As Alessia is fond of noting to people who think size is everything: Horses kill you.
-
Goober. I hate you.
-
Guys, this is awesome. Just grab a cross-aligned unicorn, kill it, and grab the horn it drops. Cures most afflictions (including loss of stats) when [a]pplied, and makes a decent weapon in a pinch.
I've been playing too much NetHack :nervous:
-
OHGOD.
At first it's horrible. Then it's hilarious. The only thing that would make this better is if the pirate filter was activated. Heck, we might as well un-ban Zack for the day...
:p
Oh, by the way...
HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
-
What the... what what what wat.
-
I don't even have a script blocker, and no sign of ponies...
Kind of sad.
-
Well...it's...pretty messed up on my side. Are they supposed to be on top of each other/overlap or what?

Just keep clicking them and they'll go away.

Or simply block javascript on www.hard-light.net. The saddest thing of all is that Goober doesn't seem to know what april fools joke actually means. It is not about annoying people, it is about fooling them.
-
I'm waiting for unicorn guy to show up

It's dangerous to talk about things like that around a time of year like this.

The saddest thing of all is that not even unicorns and rainbows can cheer Fury up. :(
-
This is me cheered up. Wait till you see me in a mood.
-
Awesome, HLP supplies the targets
Go here to get a ship with ammo http://erkie.github.com/ (http://erkie.github.com/)

You just made my day :D.
-

Awww sounds like someone needs a unicorn! <3
-
Omg this made my day, along with the pink font and the words in front of everyone's username. Omg I can't see what I'm typing coz my whole screen's covered with them.
-
Am I the only one using a web browser that allows you to block images from a given host? I had about two seconds of rainbows and unicorns crapping up my screen before that problem was solved.
Zero-tolerance to flames be damned! You can't keep me off the forums! Actually, you can, but please don't.
-
So I came here to let you all know that xkcd (http://xkcd.com/880/) did something really cool for today, and you should totally check it out even if you don't really like the comic. And read back three days too.
But then I saw two full threads devoted to rainbow colored ponies, sooooo. Anyway I was thinking that if you find something cool or interesting (non-pony related or else it'd better be hilarious) just post it here.
-
Unicorns! <3
-
I managed to suffocate Firefox 4 the first time I spam-clicked on the unicorns.
-
Reminds me of this

-
I must have scripts blocked by default because I don't see any unicorns. :( It was kinda weird reading about everybody freaking out. I thought you were all on some sort of collective HLP Acid Trip until I got to the bottom of page 1.
-
Beautiful Unicorns.

One phrase comes to mind, "the last best hope for freespace", to that I would add, "unicorns and kitties"
-

Agreed. It needs to be turned off.
-
It's just for 24 hours. It's not in the private
forums threads, so I don't why it's such a huge problem.
Plus, all you need to do is disable javascript from www.hard-light.net
Let the rest of us enjoy our pretty pretty ponies :D

Wah wah. :p
-
Yeah, this actually makes me smile a little.
Can we do wolves next year?
-
Block images from cornify .com
Oh, finally the silence....
-
this has got to be the best one yet.
-
As Fury said, it's not much of an April Fools.
-
It's cute... next year should be the epic longcat vs. darkcat with their hordes invading the board.
It was cute for 5 minutes though... then I blocked it. Bye little ponies... go make glue.
-
Well, last time we had an epic April Fool's we broke Hard Light.
-
:lol: Nice one Admin guys :) Once again an Aprils fool joke that makes working in the forum nearly impossible :lol: I'm just a littie worried about the guy (?) that is collecting all this fluffy unicurn stuff :D
-
And it's better than the pirate talk one too LOL
-
Meeeh, I always loved pirate talk day :) And at least I was able to see the forum with it :)
-
(Sadly the threads on private boards and support boards are bereft of unicorn and rainbow happiness. :()
Unfortunatley, they are not :p
-
Sorry I'm with Fury on this one. It's not much of a headache because turning off javascript fixes the problem pretty quickly. But that kind of defeats the purpose of the joke, doesn't it? Ideally an April's fools joke would be some kind of funny prank that is omnipresent during the day while not making the boards unusable. If it forces people to turn off javascript within 2 seconds of seeing it, then it's not much of a joke since it'll be gone after a quick tweak in the browser people were forced on. A good one would have at least a small degree of subtlety in it too - this one is just in-your-face, ocular nerve rape without much of a punchline apart from the "lol you can't see anything" factor.
Again, don't much care. Will just reenable javascript on HLP tomorrow. Doesn't make me laugh but doesn't manage to annoy much either.
-
Haha I'm keeping it on. HLP is too stuffy anyway. I think it needs a little, hm, what's the word...

stupid unicorns ad blocked
-
How did you do it ? I also have an add block running, but it's not blocking the horsies :)

I have Add items to the right click menu. and Help test a new way to remove ads. Beta set with http://www.cornify.com/getacorn.php in the block list
It doesn't stop all the stupidity but at least I can read the screen now
-
Ah, found it myself, thanks. Had really to add the url manually. Finally I can see and work again :)
-

Just keep clicking them and they'll go away.
Right. That's so gorgeous... ;)
-
I know which forum to take a break from for a day. I am surprised Goofer5000 came up with something new this time around.
-
Thank goodness for Corporate intranet protection.
I can see nothing unusual at all today :P

THESE BLOODY UNICORNS

YAY.
I first logged on, straight into the private section. WTF is going on??
Then I realised... its god. (or admin. whatever seems to fit the best)
I really wish I could screenshot this.. but my prt sc buttton seems to have... malfunctioned. :(
EDIT: Cute Veers, how dare you even suggest such a thing, I am very happily single!

A better idea might be, every hour, to change the forums color and fonts. So that way, by midnight, the forum is pretty in pink or something. Either that, or the ever-classic "who posted what?" prank, with random usernames.
-
All of you poor prudes whining. Tsk tsk...
-
Love the Lovable etc. beside the name, but the ponies are are gettingridickilous . I can't even see what I am typingnow

I'M AFRAID
-
Oh god MY EYES.
KILL IT WITH ATOMICS.
BRAIN BLEACH. NOW.
-
You must construct additional unicorns.

-
Press 'Esc' as soon as the main HLP logo loads, and you'll be fine.
-
Speaking of which...

If you people think that this aprils fool forum change is too warm and squishy, then better not take at look at mektek today :)
http://www.mektek.net/forums/
Warning : Watching and browsing this longer than five minutes will gay you up :D
-
that was.... er.... bright
-
Wouldn't be surprised if Fury preemptively takes away everyones administrative rights next year.
So I guess hard-light will be down again for the next week when they try removing this stuff tomorrow.
-
Howse about a Patrick Swayze centaur?
(http://diamonddusted.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/patrick-swayze-centaur.jpg)
-
Metktek's forum is pretty cute.
-
"Let us take Unicorn Milk, Obelix!"
-
After spending a few minutes browsing Mektek, my eyes began to bleed. I'll stick to the Unicorns.
-
Just so we're all on the same page, this is Goober's fault, right?
-
BWHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
-
I knew there was a reason I didn't globally allow HLP in NoScript. THIS DAY.
-
The forum's on shrooms and running slowly.
-
NoScript killed the ponies.
-
If you're still seeing unicorns after pressing Alt+F4, you have p0rblems.
-
Maaaan, I had to open up IE to see them. And I don't even have that goofy paranoid NoScript thingy either. I'm sad now. :(
-

I don't have to be seeing unicorns to have problems.
-
Woo, I can see them now! :D
-
Just thought I would let you know
-
this is not in any way news
-
Doesn't work any more
-
Block cornify.com -> succé.
-
Yeah there gone!
-
I vote for keeping this button all year long.
-
I'll second that vote :yes:
-
Actually what might be cool next year is to actually get some nice clipart of some FS strike craft and have them randomly zip across the screen. A flight of Hercs or the odd pair of Dusas fly by, that way you can get some HLP themed gags without it turning the forum into a giant rainbow cluster****.
-
I was thinking that replacing the death theme in FS2 with this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09s-c2JVI40) and the objective complete fanfare with this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoPWALM2riQ) would be a great joke.
-
Or how about really bright and fluffy textures for the ships.... with rainbow exhaust streams LOL
-
Rainbow beams might work too.
Or perhaps rainbow Subach lasers. :drevil:
I just realised what the Cornify button is for. Damn it, Goober, you should have done this sooner.
-
I looked through the thread.

-
April fools joke has been removed. If you're using (java)script blockers, please allow HLP's ads to show again
-
I think it'd be great if we had a happy pink glittery pony button on everyones profile. You could click on someones profile, and hit the happy pink glittery pony button to make that person have all the ponies in the world next time they log on. :yes:

This is a great idea for mods to monkey people in a different way. It'd be like a stage one light monkeying.
