BTW, since the 27th is Easter and the 28th is my birthday, if I'm not around for any days of the joke you guys are welcome to manipulate my account or post as me or whatever. I don't care. An admin can change my password to whatever so someone can borrow my account if need be.
Roogle: When you "remove" Feedback, make sure a) you move it into Staff so we can easily restore it, and b) set the permissions on it correctly, otherwise people could still access it via URL even though it'd be a subforum of Staff, which might be badProbably better to change the permissions before moving it.
As for the thread hiding, are we just going to move everything into Staff (***CENSORED***), or soft delete the threads so only staff can still see them? I'd personally prefer soft delete so we can restore threads to the correct forum more easily, but that might not be important. We could also be moving/hiding the appropriate threads in Feedback while it's hidden, so it's ready to be restored in one go, instead of doing it all last minute
I know how to do it, but thanks anyway.
I believe in the power of humanity.
[q=Big D]Oh yeah... when we "step down", will we still actually be mods but with no title to say we are? I'm really keen to go invisible and then lurk, just to monitor the hilarity. It'd be good to be able to continue posting in Staff, without anyone realising I'm still a mod.[/q]
That's pretty much the plan. I'm not sure if we will give you full editing rights etc. but we will most definitely still give you access to the staff forum at absoloute minimum.
[q=Shlup]On April 1st, just for the day, we should move all threads at all related to our little joke to the staff forum so no one can see them. It'll be amusing.
Agree?[/q]
That's the plan - we have to 'erase' all evidence of what happened apart from the fact that we have two new Knights, and then whenever we are asked about it, we do NOT say "April Fools!", we simply say "I don't know what you're talking about." and let them feel stupid.
We can say April Fools 1-2 days after California has left April Fools day. Oh, and we'll have to do all of this using PST (California time).
I'm so glad we've duped Raist so easiily. I feel so cunning! We ARE so cunning!
Oh, and I've created the usergroup 'Secret Squirrels' - this is effectively a registered member with access to all staff forums.

Grr - wait until they see what's happening tomorrow!

OK, so we're all bickering in Feedback and a few of us will be banned and stepping down. I can dig it. *goes to add in her 2 cents to feedback threads*
Anyone needs a bannin' let me know.
Guys, try not to take it too far with the Feedback stuff. If I was a regular member I'd be figuring we're just taking the piss by now.
EDIT: Actually, it's probably just members like Del Murder and ShlupQuack... I like Big D's stuff because people don't know him hugely well, but Murd and Shlup have been around for years longer and I just really can't see them ever being moody at EoFF. Maybe Shlup might get frustrated and insult someone but I can't see certain others here doing it. It's just too weird. xD It'd be like me saying EoFF can burn in hell for all I care, or something. Everyone would know I'm joking. But for now I think it's best to just wait for the Kishi stuff.
EDIT: It's also notable that while everyone is doing the ban-unban-ban-unban thing with Kishi, we won't need to say anything. The members will create the drama on their own - we're getting close to April Fool's Day now and people will start to wonder. It would be best if you didn't actually act as a different person but just acted as if all this was serious. In other words, you don't need to make a huge deal in General Chat when Kishi is banned. The members will do that kind of thing on their own, hopefully. Us being quiet and simple about it is much more realistic and will be cause a hell of a lot more drama.

I also agree with not getting too out of character here. The close, open, close, open, etc of threads is a little over the top, and Raistlin didn't even notice it anyway.
Maybe the ban unban ban unban thing will need to be done more slowly so we can make sure he notices then?
Over the period of two days? I'm sure SOMEONE will notice. But we should time it by doing a mock-thread, so we have a more accurate timeline. It'll be like...
Big D: OH NO! KISHI POSTED PORN!
Unne: I will ban him! *bans!*
Someone: But wait, we should hear his side of this story!
Admin #2: Yeah! *unbans* *knights*
Kishi: Haha, you guys. I don't even have an excuse!
Unne: I can't believe you guys! That's it! *bans*
Admin #2: *unbans* Look, it wasn't that bad, and nobody saw it, right? It was solved quickly. Let's just slap him on the wrist, we need to be stable and stuff!
Big D: I HATE YOU GUYS I'M LEAVING YOU NEVER LISTEN TO ME! *requests de-knighting*
Unne: HEY! YOU UNDERMINED MY AUTHORITAH! *de-admins Big D and self!*
...okay, we really need to do a thread exactly like that, in normal time. Because then we really can move it into public view at a later date.
Also.

Just a few posts in that thread where I've suggested getting rid of Feedback Forum since it's a load of spam and stupid arguments.

I'm posting more than I intended too because I'm seeing things that I would respond to if I was being moody, which I indeed have been in the past. Maybe other people will think it's suspicious, but I think at least Raist and Aaron will totally be like "here she goes again..."
I'll try to hold back a little more though.
