Fools day on Apolyton - Offtopicers not that smart!

[Demerzel]

Was there any ever real point to this thread or was it just an opportunity to gloat publicly by the moderators over a private joke that no-one else got to share?

Seems more like spam to me than most threads closed for that reason.

You are 9 hours ahead of him? That doesn't seem right.

Chicago is GMT-6 at the moment (no daylight saving's time 'til the wekend), and Solver is GMT +2 normally, and an extra +1 for European DST, making +9

(I think)

[Daz]

Damn. Cant do anything right.... sigh.

What I wanted to say was....

[Alex]

The joke is this thread.

[Solver]

I am 9 hours ahead, and yes.

I'm prepared to unveil some fun joke in, most probably, no more than an hour . Really.

[Flubber]

I thought the idea was to "get' someone with an April Fools joke. So was anyone " gotten" ? I was hardly on here yesterday and wouldn't have noticed any but the most obvious jokes/stunts in any event

[Solver]

Uhh, my fault being so slow... wait a bit more . Although well, I'm still into my schedule of showing that in an hour...

[Tuberski]

Solver, you are trying to act like there was a joke, we don't believe you.

What's the point?

It's not a good joke unless you hear the groans of the people you pulled it on.

ACK!

[Solver]

Well, let me say this, full explanation to follow sooner.

We had a nice number of ideas... one of them seemed pretty hillarious to us all, both by the possible result and just the fun factor, however, there were some, erm, PR difficulties in putting that to public as if it was a real thing. I'm though probably going to post that soon - what we planned to made look real .

[Alex]

come on, solver, spit it out!

[Solver]

I can't yet, sorry. Might get us all in trouble if I do now...

[Solver]

Gah, sorry, quite some legal trouble - can't even disclose what was planned .
