Ok, it's past april fools, can we turn this (and that rick rolling thing) off now?

Oh...no wonder the sidebar was messed up. I posted as SNAIL, edited as DARK HUNTER, someone who has never posted, and COLONEL DEKKER.

I thought it was a forum bug and PMed terran_emperor and TrashMan.

It's good to fall for a joke like this every year.

One more thing...the Announcements page is still half-cocked.

...actually, so are quite a number of the other sub-forums.

I edited as Snail and Colonel Dekker again!

Seems to be fixed now. They've started thinking about next year

[vyper]

I missed the fun this year. It actually sounds creative...

[an0n]

I still think the April Fools Day Fiasco was funnier.

[Flipside]

I thought the wailing and gnashing of teeth that followed was even funnier, but maybe that's just me....

[an0n]

I like how the end of March is basically when Goober's supply of crayons runs out and he lashes out by finding a way to cripple the forums.

So did I. I didn't find Rick Rolling very funny, though. It just makes me feel like  .

You weren't here for that though. AFAIK, anon was referring to 2005. The one I missed by like two months.

[an0n]

I thought it was earlier than that.

But, basically, they decided to pretend I'd hacked the forums and gone on a deleting spree.

Only, because Goober's a spastic, he didn't just hide the forums. He actually deleted them and pretty much killed the forums for like 2 months.

And the whole time I was on IRC fanning the gossip flames, pretending to be Styxx and saying 'I' had given 'an0n' full access for some reason. And kode was pretending to be me.

It was a cluster**** of hilarity.

That "Bork Bork Bork!" joke was the April Fool's joke the following year, wasn't it? If so, then it was in 2005. AFAIK it went:

2005) "The Anon incident"
2006) Bork Bork Bork!
2007) ---- (Unofficially John Doe)
2008) Rickroll, Usernames.

...Man, I've been here longer than I think. It's strange how stupid I was back then, and how amazingly far I've come since then. Yet I'm still stupid. Although, most of us are in a sense.

Ah, my apologies.

Regardless, I thought that this year's April Fool's joke of mixing up all the posters was fun. I only entered the fray in the last few hours, but it was still fun nonetheless. Now the moderators will have to think of something for next year...and it had better not be that huge-corporation-buys-us joke that I saw on CTG Music and replacementdocs.

Well, it's good to have a bit of stupidity up there. It keeps us from getting nerdy.

I wasn't around in '05 and '06.  What were "The Anon Incident" and "Bork Bork Bork!"?

[FreeSpaceFreak]

I've heard somewhere that an0n got admin rights... But I wasn't around here either.

[karajorma]

You even have a post from An0n explaining, yet still you ask.

[blowfish]

Didn't see that post...

[Polpolion]

Just out of curiosity, what were the pre-anon incident April Fool's jokes, if there even were any?

[Goober5000]

2004 was Olde English (one of my personal favorites)

Before that there was one where he and she were switched, and another one where all the letter e's were removed.  I forget when those were done, though, as I wasn't around as regularly back then.

[CP5670]

I remember the he and she one. "I" also became "you," and "you" became "we."

[Jeff Vader]

Now that sounds like a lot of fun. Wish I'd seen it.
