April Fools - Advance planning & ideas - CENSORED THREAD

[Leeza]

We made it over 1000 posts! :)

Yes, we return everything to normal and we say nothing and we smile and say "Don't know what you're talking about." I hope everyone is clear on this. I don't want anyone botching that part up and saying "April Fools".

Yeah, there are a few people who don't buy any of this for a second. :)

[crono_logical]

Hopefully the broken links will be a (lame) attempt at throwing them off the scent :p

[RSL]

Perhaps I'm an idiot but I'm having a hard time navigating the forums right now.

I just find that funny considering how much planning went into the actual joke. And once again, I'm glad that this is only for one more day. Thank god.

And yes BoB, I will not ruin it by stating April Fools! I plan to just pretend like nothing happened and act confused when asked.

[crono_logical]

I believe the forums should be navigatable normally in the pink style :p

[m4tt]

Did you have to mess up the staff forum link too? :p

[crono_logical]

It was a board-wide setting I changed :p

[Loony BoB]

The only downside to all of this is that nobody is posting. xD

[crono_logical]

Yeah, maybe I should fix this early :p

[Loony BoB]

Aye. I don't think we should wait too late into the PST evening before doing the real April Fools joke thing, either. We'll end up with three quarters of EoFF already into April 2nd if that's the case, and while it's nice to go by PST for set times, when it's a specific date we should do our best to accommodate the rest of the world. Maybe around midday PST would be better.

I decided not to toy with anyone more than we already have!

[Loony BoB]

Make the link thing stop! It's done its job, we can say we ended it early because it was messing with people too much. Or else make it one-style-only or something.

[Loony BoB]

SCREW YOU CLOUT, STOP IT NOW, THEY ARE SENDING ME MANY MANY PMs AND THIS IS WHAT I STEPPED DOWN TO AVOID >=OOOOO

[crono_logical]

See, they never suspect me :D

[Loony BoB]

Bastard. xD

On a sidenote. Hi. Can I be an admin again? Thanks.

[crono_logical]

When everything goes back to normal :p

[Loony BoB]

What? My stepping down was nothing to do with the April Fools joke you dumbass. xD

[crono_logical]

Oh yeah :p

[Loony BoB]

When we make everything "back to normal" we'll have to remember to move those threads from General Chat into the hidden AF forum (without redirects, obviously).

[crono_logical]

Could I have a list of people to reknight too, just in case I forget someone :p

[Loony BoB]

Big D
Leeza
Lord Krang
Yamaneko

[m4tt]

And change my name to Matt or m4tt please? :)

Oh, and when are we doing this exactly? So I can know to change my sig/av and my title and whatnot.

[crono_logical]

BoB said early, so I'm assuming before we Brits go to bed tonight (around midnight GMT/ 1am for us)? :p Otherwise it'll be in the morning for us, which'll be the end of the day for Americans which isn't really early :p

Only 4? Feels like more people stepped down, but oh well :p

[Leeza]

Yeah, it does seem like more. Daryl should have stepped down because there are no Admins in the bunch.

Okay, so by around noon PST today we should be back to normal? <B>***CENSORED***</B>

9pm our time would be good. That's midday PST. It's also notable that traditionally April Fools jokes have to be done before midday, so yeah.

[crono_logical]

Good, means I won't have to stay up as late :p So the list of what needs to be done, just so we know what needs to be done, is:

- Reknight people
- Move Feedback again
- Move threads from Help/GC to AF without redirects
- Move Roo's announcement about Feedback :p

Anything else? :p

[Loony BoB]

Smile! :)

[crono_logical]

I prefer to :p instead :monster:

[Leeza]

Turns out I won't be here today. I have to go in to work so see you all later. :)

I was wondering why I seemed unaffected. I'm so cool.

[RSL]

By time I get home tonight everything should be back to normal! I'm so happy.

[crono_logical]

*get's a last post in before BoB copies* >:}

[Loony BoB]

And we're back in action. Don't forget to smile! :)
