APRIL FOOLS 2011: ATARLeaks - the mod forum

[Fyrefly]

this was insane, it had me tripping out for about half an hour till i went to ez and was like wtffffffff, upon rereading tho i can;t see how i feel for it, esp the "mods gone wild' and "post here if you smell" topics

*Cough*

 

Uh... actually... the "post here if you smell" topic was real.
Taiga made it so all the new Victorian mods could practice using their new-found powers without destroying the site.

Blame taiga.

Who's the English-illiterate person who's been controlling the forum titles? The spelling is atrocious!

[shinny]

Damn. Missed the fun ]: Well all those who got it are invited to the mod party. Voxi fuck yeh!

[TrueTears]

bahahahhaha, i love you guys

[ninwa]

Damn. Should've known most of you are too smart to be fooled. Oh well, t'was fun while it lasted

pi and ATAR: I am very impressed, you guys had me fooled, I thought you were genuinely outraged. It was excellent entertainment, thank you.

Yes I got enwiabe to change the timestamps but only for my "everyone must agree with me" thread so it was closer to the "water cooler is in national forum" argument. I figured that was more appropriate and believable.

Edit: also I started this thread 2 days early to make it look less obvious that suddenly all this happens on April 1. No I am not actually synchronising permissions, yes I randomly removed permissions / hid forums to make it more believable

For the doubters:

I still think nothing will top shinny v enwiabe April Fool's joke!

Heh, I'm looking at that thread right now. Yes, good ol' Sweet Nothings is well and truly alive. Bet you guys wished we unleashed the permissions on that board eh? Not gonna happen unfortunately. Man we got so many more people involved that time! Think we popped it too early this time. Gah.

[ninwa]

I think it worked better last time because most of us were actually online to fuel the bitching

Also, no April Fools will ever top "firing" you because you went all anti-semitic on us.

You know what was the worst though? Nina forgot to tell David that this thread was part of our joke!! I saw David reading this thread yesterday and thought, "Fk, did Nina mention it to him?? He's gonna accidentally ruin it!" xD

My bad...

[david10d]

I agree with pi.

Oh and nacho, watch who you call kid.

Especially considering that your gender is severely debate-able.

I won't stoop to your level of calling me 'socially retarded' but rest assured if you met me you wouldn't be on two feet.

(anyone sense a casey incident here?... )

EDIT: LOL @shinny as the most valuable player!

Oh dear, that made my day.

I doubt you and pi took this as a joke. It seems like what you two little rascals would do once enraged.

*sigh*

Um, we knew from about this post onwards, thanks to vea. We were then contacted by a mod (I'm not going to name who it was), who then told us to edit our posts (or delete them) and play along (hence you can see that on the bottom of that and the next few posts). Then we (myself, ATAR, nacho, vea) just played along and tried to make it more serious (ie.by proposing that mods had removed some of the really bad shit, etc.), and it worked.

Great idea from Russ and the rest of mods/admins though. SO MUCH LOLZ
