All credit for the past day of crazyness goes to AJ. I personally ignored the forums for a day as it was the most annoying thing ever. It also killed my mood to RP. A day without community rp #4 is sad.
Ahem, yeah.
Just for kicks, here's a poll. Was AJ's little prank annoying or funny?

Please don't touch the polls, staff. You're staff. Yes, you can edit the polls. Now don't be a dick and try to be funny.

I thought it was a good prank. Still, I kind of mess reeduun de stuufffee leeeki dis now. I think it should be made an option to use in your posts.
I can't believe it's considered annoying by the majority though...

Personally I didn't like it because of all the spamming that went on... but whatever.
It was a great idea though... and Aj you did a great job planning it, I think the denizens of WB fucked it up though.

It was sorta gay. I didn't like it. It make the RP forum unreadable(I was too lazy to click the quote button and read stuff). I'm so glad it's over. :)

see the love my staff has for me? (I always knew it deep down, but believed they were better than that)
publicly called out and judged? (I never thought they had the balls to even do it over the internet)
i'll have to remember that ( You'll never see it coming staff ;)).
AJ's post is also so short because of his new time consuming 'project' (Note the single w/e you want to call them lines were used, which means that this is secondhand speaking) .
AJ speaks, the patriarch of warboards, after his long silence.
So let it be written, so let it be done.

Funny, though it did lose its appeal rather quickly. Still the best April Fools joke ever, though! ^_^

then BAM, everything looks like spammy crap.

I unjustly assume I speak for the majority of the members when I say
Please lord do not let it happen.
If it were on April Fools it woulda been less annoying.
Whatever you do today has to top what you did yesterday!

It made the forums unusable for a day. Quite annoying and obvious April Fools joke.

Not as unusable as when the entire community got banned.
Aah, fun times...
It was a great prank.
But it did play merry hell with the ability to do anything useful on the forums.

Members lounge is still tainted, and in my opinion remains mostly unusable.

I voted annoying. More subtle pranks are best. i.e. WoW: Molten Core 2D, BBC gets footage of Flying Penguins, Daily Express reveals Big Ben's new digital face etc.

Oh sure lets leave QuothTheRaven out of the event. lolz
What was the prank?
Now I'll have to do some digging.
Edit:
I wasn't here during the prank, I wanted to post like the fenguin.......
Edit:
I think staff messed with the poll, 50/50?

Why can't it be both? I thought it was annoying as hell, but funny to see the chaos. I was also annoyed at first that it came BEFORE April Fool's Day, but then came to see the genius behind it. You know? Fuck April 1, it's overrated. 24/7 Fool's Year.

Got infracted for it too...
Welcome back Galiant. Have a nice couple of weeks away? ;x
Anyways, I pretty much just didn't check the forums while it was on.

Tremendous, but only if used for a few hours at a time...I started to get annoyed after a while, but on the whole, it was an ingenious idea.
Excellent joke on AJ's part. Beat it next year though. While funny for a while, it got old fast.
The cognitive restructuring afterward was fun while people were posting nothing but "It's different" and then were like "oh, no its not. were we h4#0R3D?"
Let's see the moderators pull a prank spontaneously once in a while, without AJ's knowledge.
Just to see if they can. For bonus points, leave BI out too. He makes me gullible. :P
Trip to the moon, my ass!

At the time, I was a bit pissed because I couldn't understand anything, but afterwards, and now... It was pretty damn funny! clever, and well done, too.
