View Full Version : April Fools!

Yes, I perpetrated a rather low, below-the-belt April Fools joke. A lot of you assumed it was indeed a joke, however it gets harder and harder to do something on the first and have people believe in its credibility.

To make it all worth it though, we upgraded the forum software from vBulletin 3.0.3 to 3.0.7 -- basically offering countless bug fixes and security hole closures. So we're now running the most up-to-date software.

Thanks for bearing with us during this .. joke. Hopefully you took it to heart. We do so love to play jokes on you all. =]

Anyhow, har har. Have a good day. Discuss my lovely little joke here.. or perhaps let us know about some of the other jokes you've witnessed, been part of, or inflicted on others. This includes any website jokes you've read/seen.

Yargh!

Hah... Thank you to the 8 or 9 people that mailed me asking whether this was a joke or not... Yea, I'm not an Admin, but I was sure to ask AJ if it were a joke or not... Horrible, horrible joke XD

Haha, we planned this several weeks in advance...

AJ was quiet about it though, I didn't know whether he would go through with it or not... Anyways, atleast you got an upgrade done. :)

Geno

Oh, and did anyone notice the even funnier fools joke? Look at our birthdays today. BI, I'd swear you're a night elf or something XD

P.S. AJ... You must've been typing in the womb for this site to be running for so long... Good job! ^.^

--Edit--

Yea... So I've been wearing this hat, and felt like showing you all how I celebrate my April fools! Wewt!

So far the following pranks have been tried:

1. Shaving cream on door. Removed by turning doorknob rapidly enough to get most of it off from the inside.
2. Bungee cording the door shut. This was done to more than half of our floor (3rd floor North), and they tried to get me. Sadly enough, the person trying to get me, Rookie, couldn't, as I was downstairs shooting pool. My roommate, however, fell victim to it. XD
3. The "Shaving cream balloon outside your door" trick. You don't know this one? Fill a balloon with shaving cream. Put it RIGHT outside a door, right by the crack where you open it. Then watch them try and open it. *Boom* Heh... Gets 'em 90% of the time. Lucky for me, I took a rolled up piece of paper through the little vent thingy on the bottom of my door, and pushed it away XD
4. Glue on the toilet trick. Easily seen and avoided by putting toilet paper down on the seat.
5. Slip n' slide walkways with some kind of very hard to see substance. Don't know what it was, but luckily, I was A) wearing slip resistant shoes, and B) not carying anything heavy, or I would've gone down in an instant.

So far, those are the ones they've tried on me. They're actually right now pennying my door, as I hear them turning the handle. No worries. Always have a worthless ID card with you, so you can easily push pennies out.

Oh, and to top it off, check out my headgear for the unofficial Eastern Illinois University April Fool!

Me & Darkslayer, the two of us being in the irc hcannel were told this by hammock:
Egdewize had carcrashed,didn't pay the bills,didn't tell the staff.

My & darkslayer's responce:
Lier, they would have given him a laptop if he wanted to,and he can pay it by the internet.
Good try guys, but we ain't no fools ;)

Hawthorne - I seek logic where none is needed :P

AJ

If that was a tad bit more legible, and if you showed me why he would have gotten a laptop.. then maybe, just maybe I'll consider not calling you a fool.

04-01-2005, 3:11 PM
Yeah, I was talking to ZeMagicMaster ealier today, and we were all like, "Ah fuck! There goes another good website!" Then all of a sudden, I was like, "Uh wait. Hey dude, what's today's date?" "Uh, i dunno. Something in april?" "IT'S APRILS FOOLS DAY! DAMNIT I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL AJ!" He was just laughing his ass off the whole time...

AJ, I was quite angry, cause now, It is half past 9 in teh evening, And I had to wait until now to find if this was a joke.

AJ
04-01-2005, 3:33 PM
Shucks. ;)

BlackHawk
04-01-2005, 3:37 PM
I missed it <cries>

My april fools was boring, however my mom got her friend by putting a 'For sale by owner' sign on their lawn late last night. The phone number spelt out 'April Fools' (nobody realized this). The friend got a call along the lines of "Your next door neighbour said you're selling your house?". xD.

Jeff
04-01-2005, 3:45 PM
For those who missed it, AJ replaced WarBoards.org with a page like what's currently on http://diablo.org/ :) I suggested using something like http://warboards.com/ but I think it worked out just as well, heh.

Also, take a look at http://worldofwarcraft.com/ if you haven't already.

Although it was slightly before April Fools, I just assumed someone forgot to renew the domain. :)

Dezzick
04-01-2005, 3:50 PM
umm, could you set it to be changed back next year to GMT? That would be a bit better, because then it would be generalised time, cos at around quarter to 7 in teh evening, it was still like the diablo thing.

AJ

these days? hah. you have to tell them to stop auto-renewing your domains.

ahem.

I saw the page this morning and went, "what?!" First I though that the domain was gone, then some kind of hacking scheme (though they wouldn't put up that pretty page would they?). I even got on IRC and said, "WTF?" I then realized it was an april fools joke...

Not bad AJ. You should see the horrendous April Fools jokes they're doing at /. :concern:

Frattimonde
04-01-2005, 4:18 PM
You really got me there for a min, thought at first that the site had been hacked or something.

iHawk
04-01-2005, 4:20 PM
When I saw it I thought that you guys were doing an upgrade or somthing. :P Then like an Hour later I looked at my calender and cursed you cursed Admins/Mods/AnyoneWhoKnewButDidn'tTellMe. All in all it was a good prank. :D

04-01-2005, 4:28 PM
I so called it as a joke

at first i was like wtf what happened to wb then I was like oooooooooyeah today is april first, then I checked every link and they all lead back to the exact same page so I then knew it was an april1st joke.

04-01-2005, 4:41 PM

But to tell you the truth I was missing this place too. :)


Credit goes to Jeff for the hilarious idea and to AJ for the amazing execution.

my english teacher pranked our class real good, told us that breakfast at the school had been stopped due to trimming the budget.

and in my dark alleyway vampire game, i went to it and thought i had mistakenly controlled the game maker's own vampire. hah.

oh and nearly got a heartattack when i came back later to the page and it read that the site was closed for two weeks due to hackers.

I live in Mexico. I haven't celebrated April fools in 10 years. It sucks arse.
On a side note. HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY AJ! Aaaawwwww how sweet... we have a baby admin ^_^

Just like Zelt, I live in Mexico and I didn't know about the April's Fool's Day (I've heard something about it from my teachers though). I was cheated, you played with my feelings...I will never talk to you guys again...Nah, just kidding...but don't do that ever again. Great prank anyway.

Geno
04-01-2005, 6:20 PM
FK, feel free to say that it looks incredibly stupid. Let's just say that over 500 people have seen me with it on my head around campus. It's nothing I haven't heard.

Oh, and the girls that hang out with our neighbors (There's about 8 or 9 of them that are always over) really think it's sexy... One even wants to go out with me, as long as I wear it on the date! XD

I can't see the image because my computer has something buggy with it where whenever a picture has a link embedded in it it displays it as "op start(); op start();" linking to wherever the link goes...

Actually, I don't think it looks "incredibly stupid". Stupid yes, but not "incredibly stupid" :).

On a more relevant note, I haven't even had a single prank pulled on me today (well, aside from AJ's little scheme). Strange :o ...

Our teacher played a joke on us. He told us we have a test. So we laughed and said, "Good Joke!" He kept insisting and after around 10 minutes he said, "Ok, April Fools!" And we said, "So there is not test?" He looked at us strangely and said, "No, that joke was the joke. Here's the test." We spent the rest of class time doing a test on graph theory.

On a side note, you may be wondering about 0laf.

Well, here's the explanation of him. 0laf iwas a fictional character created by me. Schwitzer, BSTRhino, and HammockSleeper also contributed to his posts, making him into the crazy individual he was.

Our original goal was to have him to "hack" the site, and do some crazy stuff, but it got thwarted by the "WB Strikes Back" project. Spamming is more important than the April Fools joke, anyways.

If carried out though, I'm sure you guys would have been fooled... :)

Anyways, what are your thoughts about 0laf? I think me and Schwitzer did a hell of a great job... Did anyone have any doubts?

By the way, about his name. Olaf. And his custom user title. R.I.P Los.

OlafRIPLos = April Fools.

;)

GrassDragon
04-01-2005, 10:19 PM
Oh man, that would have been golden if it was carried out. Very clever, I never guessed it was you guys. I really thought he was just some mod-hating retard. Seems like you guys accomplished your goal ;)

Maybe I am, maybe I'm not, you'll just have to find out. I don't like being fooled, and I don't like someone who's so close to community make themselves look untrustworthy. I don't care if it's a joke, but it's instinct to me, now, let us end this conversation.

Geno
04-01-2005, 10:45 PM

To be quite honest, I'm one to dislike that joke. A while back, you may remember ProtossGenoChick99, and how PC and I tried to convince everyone that it was some random person screwing with it, and then we held a poll to see who it really was. Eventually, the mods closed it off, and we let you know it was both of us. Seeing as how rules are 'supposed to apply to everyone' as a few moderators have stated within posts, I feel this account was against rules. Now I know I'm kind of standing up against mods, and I know it. I could care less. If we're denied our account, I don't see why yours was allowed either.

And yes, I know, you run the site, you do whatever. I'm just pointing out that I feel cheated in a sense.

~Larry "Geno" Meyers

P.S. On a side note, I could care less if that's used for blackmail. I have enough of that against myself. I'll tell you my life story if you wish in one long post, up through my freshman year. Doubt me? I have it saved in a word document. ;)

Yeah, but it was just an April Fools joke. AJ closed down the site for half the day, and that sure as hell wasn't fair to me; I sat here like "uhh... wow" wondering what was going on this morning. We live with it :P

Black.Ice
04-01-2005, 10:57 PM
Guys, don't feel too bad. It was a joke.

ProtossGenoChick99 only spammed. The two of you made 12 posts, and it didn't really contribute to anything which lead to the banning of the joint account.

Now, granted, 0laf spammed. Everyone was okay with it, but then AJ informed us of the WB Strikes Back. He was tired of spam, and we all agreed with him. That was the end of 0laf.

Now to the question of why our account was allowed... it wasn't, really. Which was another reason why AJ put an end to it, and didn't let us go forward with our plan.

But you have to admit. We had all of you fooled. :D

DragonPaladin
04-01-2005, 11:00 PM

Meh, everyone (well, many) have had multiple accounts. RekcutDrawoh and SunTzu. Shinigami and Yamamoto. Cygnus and Machiavelli. PC and Geno with their hybrid. Now the some of our mods made 0laf. Bah, I'm used to it. Didn't expect it, but Cyggie and Gami pulled that one on me a while back. =P

and two, write a very strange paper for no reason at all:

Host:

Welcome to the late night Warboards discussion show where we discuss strange and unusual issues that may be bothering our members. First off, tonight is the eve before April 1st, the terrible day known for cruel and unusual pranks. But before we get into that we’d like to interview a few special guests about cruel and unusual pranks that they have experienced in the past. Our first guest is a local here in the islands [of Hawaii] who has been traumatized by terrible events of the past. Without further delay please welcome our first speaker, Johnny!



Johnny:



Thank you, I’d like to start off with a little speech about cruel and unusual pranks and punishments. Pranks are fun, but not for everyone. If you were to, for example, remove a critical access portal from someone’s living room, you may cause them to go into a state of panic. But lets say you had a backup plan and decided that if they were to call the international guard of anti-prankness, you would flee to the corner of your realm of existence, protecting you from any spam guns thrown your way. This is still a very cruel and unusual crime…er prank you have commited…….pulled I mean, and you should feel ashamed that you have deprived a young chimpanzee of his proper nutritional values of chlorine.

Anyways, it was many years ago when I experienced this cruel and unusual prank. My younger being of brotherlyness decided it would be cruel and unusual to climb the hallway and hang from the ceiling. Now that’s not so bad, you say, but then he decided to cruel and unusually scare me by dropping down from no where! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!



*time passes*



Host:



Johnny?.....Johnny?...Well anyways, that was a wonderful story Johnny had to share with us….Our next guest is one of strange origin, not even from our dimension! Please give a warm welcome to the unknown entity!



Unknown Entity:



[orcish] Zor gash ki laba laba blu! Yar gobba binky bar yar habba doo! Ka ramma larba blargee shoe, kor kima lasha rasha habee hooo!



Host:



Thank you for that…err……intriguing bit of information. Finnally, we have one more speaker for us tonight, who will be representing the committee against cruel and unusual pranks!



Representative:



Yeah thanks host, now I’ll get straight to the point; cruel and unusual pranks are very cruel and unusual. Without them, the world would be a sinister, cruel, and unusual place to live in! Perhaps one day the world will realize the meaning behind these…cruel and unusual pranks. Maybe someday there will not be such evil doings as *cough* *snort* A *cough* J *hiccup* people have done in the past. Maybe one day someone will realize that if there weren’t any sinister, cruel, and unusual pranks there wouldn’t be such wonderful talk shows such as these! (literally)



Host:



Thank you all for your time, and I hope AJ has been eaten by an ad………oops did I say that?



thanks, AJ, for adding 3000 keystrokes to my pulse thingy....and torturing me for 40 minutes

You need more clothes in your closet, lolz :P

Btw peeps: two years ago I played the meanest prank on my ex-best friend. (At the time we were best friends but no anymore) Geno aka Larry knows aaallllll about it ;) Rule #1: Never mess with pplz emotions for a stupid prank--Trust me, it has some dire consequences....

For instance....My co-worker Criss at Taco Bell....*rolls eyes and shakes head* Today he sent a text message to everyone on his cell phone that was family or close friends saying, "To all of Criss's friends....Criss was in a tragic accident and is no longer with us...." I swear man, his aunt called his dad frantic and bawling her eyes out. My other co-worker Katie was tripp'n out an couldn't believe it. And according to other sources, other ppl were calling his dad crying on the phone at his "loss". The only reason I didn't fall for it was cuz I saw him before I got the text so he let me in on the little secret :P

Anywayz, happy April Fool's Day ya'llz! Sorry I got here so late to not see the search engine page :)

That's not my closet. That's Travis'. Mine is on the other side... *Snatches a picture*

That's mine. Oh, and quiz time! What percent is this picture stretched and skew'ed to to fit? Is it A) The same size (100%), half size (50%) quarter size (25%) fifth of a size (20%) or tenth of a size (10%)? Guess right and you win... +karma if it's ever implimented again!

P.S. Another April Fools prank!: My friend on the floor had to walk through the hallways naked, because someone took his towel out of the bathroom, and noone'd help him. What's more, there were girls on the floor that caught a glimpse of him... Needless to say, one of them is now hanging out with him at some party... I wonder why *Rolls eyes*

Heh heh.. I was on the comp on friday evening,and when I accessed the site, all I got was a search engine.
I thought that someone might have hacked it and done some hanky panky.
Infact the first link that shows up as http://www.warboards.org (http://www.warboards.org/) pointed instead to warboards.com
I couldn't even see any posts on warcraft.org (old index)
Yup that had me scratching my head for the better part of Saturday.
Nice one guys ;)



But you have to admit. We had all of you fooled. :D

that you did BI.. sneaky :P

btw Geno.. I think I'll do the same thing with that hat photo of yours as BI did . save it or 'rainy'(read blackmailing) day ;)

Yes, I perpetrated a rather low, below-the-belt April Fools joke. A lot of you assumed it was indeed a joke, however it gets harder and harder to do something on the first and have people believe in its credibility.

what joke?

have I missed something really obvious?

I didnt play (or fall victim to) any april fools jokes due to not regaining consciousness until 2PM :P
