At least Hard Light isn't this stupid
on: March 05, 2008, 07:50:10 pm
A new day has dawned in the world of SheezyArt. A new day, where there are no spaces in usernames anymore! Yes, SheezyArt's admin, ChannelCat, decided that they're database would start ignoring the spaces in usernames.

Apparently, it didn't occur to them that there might be, for example, a "Blackhole" and a "Black Hole." Because there is. Guess who can't access his SheezyArt account anymore? Guess who can't log in? Guess who can't even get help because he has to e-mail them for it and they're all apparently busy?

Wow, they're all busy? I wonder why? Maybe because of a massive influx of seriously pissed off users who can't access their accounts anymore?

What kind of programming idiot implements a feature like this haphazardly on a website with over 160000 members WITHOUT TESTING IT?! You'd think by common sense they would have had the foresight of this problem occuring, espiecally since they've got 160000 members. Nope, they don't. Guess they just add in features and hope everything doesn't explode, which didn't work out too well this time.

Smooooooooooooooooooth

...who can feel an impending April Fool's joke? :nervous: :shaking:

Nah, they wouldn't do that to us... right?

Congrats, haloboy100, by revealing that you just gave them the necessary impetus to make the inevitable April Fool's joke all that worse for all of us and especially for you just because of that fact.

Your sense of humour can't repel a joke of that magnitude! I can't tell it to you!

[Actually, I wasn't here at that point but I hear the most infamous of them had something to do with anon aquiring ultimate admin access to the forum, first as a joke, then by accident for real. The other one involved someone setting something wrong in the forum in a funny-ha-ha way, not being able to undo the change, and with the power of 1.21 Jigawatts, the forum ended up sent one week or so to the past... or somesuch stuff.

Older forumites can shred more light of corruption for your innocent eyes, but be warned... for Death awaits you all, with nasty big pointy teeth.]

See, if I hadn't been so stupid as to delete the subforums instead of hiding them, we'd still be saying it was the best April Fools day ever. :D

I still think it was the best April Fool's Day ever, but I don't do anything useful around here... :nervous:

Yeah, for us non-productive types, it was one of the best. In one fell swoop, everyone was as unproductive as we are! :p
