Yes, it is indeed April 1st

Ghoulish Delight · 04-01-2005, 06:41 PM

Alright, the jig is up. No, Kevy did not upload any inappropriate avatars. No, there was nothing deleted. And no, no one hacked anything. Some observant folks were aware of the date from the beginning (and thank you muchly for keeping quiet for our entertainment's sake). Many figured it out or were told through the day, and joined in on the fun (Kevy, MickeyLumbo) and we thank all of you for your good humor. Others it seems remained in the dark until the bitter end. Even most of The Establishment was unaware (and some until the end).

So, things will shortly be returning to normal, hang tight. I'm a little exhausted, I was up at 5 to get the ball moving, and have been on the go to keep the story straight as it spread. I'm sure people will fill you all in with all of the little changes that were made (I bet you didn't notice at least one or two), and maybe even some of our rejected ideas and ideas that would have been fun, but more technical work than we wanted.

Hopefully we ammused more than we pissed off. If not, sorry, all in good fun.

Hurry up with the avatars already.

I'm getting MousePad flashbacks :|

it was amusing, but got tedious towards the end.....a joke that runs too long just stops being funny after awhile........Thanks for the humour...

I want my signature back....

innerSpaceman · 04-01-2005, 06:46 PM

No, not more amused that pissed off. I guess you picked some pretty good accomplices, in that I completely believed and continue to believe that Kevy and Scott are completely capable of such mean-spirited bull$hit that is only funny to themselves.

Oh, and I guess it's funny to a certain admin around here, too.

Well, have yourself a big chuckle, GD. Fragile-trucelike quasi-friendships have been ended. I think your prank was a bit too extreme.

Oh, and not having a sense of humor is something I've rarely been accused of.

Sorry for dragging it out a little. There were some people still at work who we hadn't had a chance to toy with.

If you believe that I have the first clue as to how to hack a board, you give me WAY more credit than I deserve. I woke up this morning to find myself *actually* banned. I was able to figure things out right away.

I hope that soon you are able to get a laugh out of this and know that it was all in fun (which is what LoT is all about).

I'm just scared what GD and the admins are going to do tomorrow, on NATIONAL PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY DAY.

My bullshyte radar is alway working on 4/1, so as soon as I saw the email in my inbox this morning, I figured it was going to be Fool Central in the LoT.

Mostly I was amused. I was a little surprised to see that I was engaged. I suspect Tom is even more surprised. Lot of editing going on there.

Not Afraid · 04-01-2005, 07:13 PM

Yes, the editing was mostly me being EVIL and FOOLISH. Thank GOD it's only one day a year.
