Ok, the fallout thread is here. Any discussion about the 2004 prank anywhere else on the board will be deleted.

Kthx.

I actually thought the entire thing was funny, unlike the past two years. Kudos, kids.

I agree. But it was fun to just let loose and go crazy like that. PyroFreeze, The Jazz Samurai, and I deleted the entire Northern California section because we could. That was, of course, before everyone that would check that forum was up. Heh.

This is the best April Fool's Day "Joke" ever. The amount of planning and buildup that went into it was great, considering how much it was. And then the finale of making everyone mods...I don't think anyone saw THAT one coming. Are you guys going to make it a tradition? The would...really be cool. It was nice to know how things went like deleting threads(Took FOREVER) and like DrenchFur said, where all the buttons are.

One last thing: I'm also glad I got my pic of J Dogg being a banned trick member with 13 points. biggrin.gif

Some people made them up. Someone's (I don't remember whose) was just their old address.

I didn't find it funny about the entire deletion of the Tourney threads in SW. Until I realized what day it was, that's when I first saw my green foot. A lil slow? I know it. LOL

Tsugaru Apple Mix!

This was a great joke. I loved it.

At first, I wanted to try to leave the topics around, and basically went around correcting everyone's spelling, and nothing more. =P

Then, I noticed whole forums had been deleted, and concluded it all had to be backed up somewhere, so I went wild.

I made a whole slew of topics about CaffyMajin for no reason. I also posted a few of those osakaeyes.gif pictures someone posted. I then randomly made a topic titled "Tsugaru Apple Mix", and decided to spread the name. If you saw one of the hundreds of "Tsugaru Apple Mix" topics, that was me. I then started moving things between forums, and leaving shadows everywhere, to see how far it could go before it got deleted. I got a Spokane thread in and out of Pacific Northwest 5 times, and through another 5 forums before it got deleted.

All in all, a fun day, but it's good to be back to normal.

Yeah, when will all the feet be back to their right colour?

Also, a question...were ALL the mods in on this? All the way down to regular forum mods?

If it was, then Phi is a bloody good actress!!

But, nice prank. I like your style. Although, you shoulda waited till the 3rd before setting things right...that woulda really make people believe it!! E15.gif

Tsugaru Snapple Mix!

By the way, I took a buttload of screenshots of all this. Such as the NC forum saying there was no posts in it, and things like the "Cory Smith" hilarity in the Marketplace forum. Also, I took pictures of the forum index(because I couldn't save the HTML file) right before the forums went down to be reset. On top of that, I archived EVERY SINGLE Forum Gods/Goddesses page in their original HTML format, with all the pictures. If anyone wants the archives, or maybe one of the screenshots I mentioned, just ask me.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?!?!?!?!?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Do you not realize that the whole Bemafia people were constantly flaming people and turning the forums into a means for them to gaybash? How the hell can that possibly be funny to you people? Not just that, either, they managed to offend absolutely EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Were they told to do that just so that people would believe the entire thing more? Well, it worked, but you basically just proved your the biggest group of a**holes on the face of the Earth!!!!!!!!

So, for clarification of my overall opinion,
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, not everyone. But yes, they did do some annoying things. And they were punished for it.

Enjoy your points.

And it's a good thing that you're not overreacting.

Remember folks, it isn't truly Andy Kaufmanesque unless it truly offends (or makes people act that way) some people! riiight.gif (Hell, I think Kaufman in his own time was systematically hated by everyone in Tennesse.)

So, no hard feelings to JDog or Agilab. (My posts were still on the 1st, remember?) I'd like to know a little more about the whole planning, we're talking about cooperation here that isn't trivial.

(Still, I am honestly curious about what woulda' happened if someone posted illegal imagry bestiality or child porn for sh1ts and giggles on the board.)

I personally liked how the whole New York area got locked. Should have gotten a picture of me as a Maniac member, though. Oh well, good good joke. You had me going for awhile, too.

I miss the Frozen Foods forum already.

Great joke, guys. The only part I hated was the Bemafia, and that apparently wasn't something you did. I can't wait to see what you guys come up with next year... E10.gif

Well that depends. Because the delete thing was enabled it wouldn't really matter. I mean, every post was either deleted or changed super fast. So not only are the chances that someone who could do something would see it are small, but it wouldn't be around for long for someone to be able to call it to anyone's attention.

As a side note, I never really lost my powers. Most of us didn't unless we were banned. And then we had usernames that had powers. I was an admin with a Trick Member foot =P
