    Default I just sold EoFF to Facebook

    Expect the MZuck admin account to appear any day now.

    What is your favorite April Fools prank? EoFF sure did them with some flair back in the day.

    I liked the one when Psychotic accidentally deleted EoFF. Except that didn’t actually happen on April Fool’s

    Nothing will ever top Monumental Breakdown in Staff Protocol. From what I remember there was quite a bit of buildup to its execution. There were seeds of discontent planted days, if not a week before the fateful day. I even think some prominent members left for a while because they were pissed off.

    Yes, some of the seeds were planted weeks before. There were some public in fighting among staff in a few threads and probably some grumbling in chat and ims.

    I was never involved in enough of them to remember any of them really. I am still a little salty about the one you pulled on staff during my tenure.

    I was really surprised how much time I dedicated to various plans. To have that kind of time now!

    The best part about that one was getting Raistlin to do all the work and then thinking it was his idea.

    Delete EoFF? Through incompetence? Me? You dare besmirch my good name by saying I'm so useless that I would purge an entire website?

    It was General Chat.

    Pretty sure it wasn’t just general chat because we were in the middle of a mafia game and suddenly it was all gone

    That wasn't me. Samuraid rolled the forums back two days to bring GC back.

    I remember when html wasn't disabled and I was able to completely destroy the forums by closing table tags.
