    I can understand not being able to do something for legal reasons but you must be able to describe it-- " we planned to rob the first national bank but decided not to for legal reasons'

        Well you surely understand we didn't try to rob a bank .

        To put a more close analogy - we wanted to post nude pics of Britney, but we phoned her and she warned us not to do the hoax, and not even to post them later when noted as fakes... that's BS, but close to how the situation was.

                  • Ok, Ok,
                    Yes, we failed this year. We had discussion on what we should try to do this year and had many suggestions.

                    Some were just rehashes of older pranks (involving mods) which we rejected.

                    Some involved poking fun at Homeland security ( as mentioned earlier) which included some site shutdowns.
                    Which was rejected, (tough to have a joke when no one can check out the site to laugh

                    Others involved some site changes that were more effort than they were worth.

                    Others involved making up some "celebrity" Id's and having some fun. Could be a bit dicey.

                    The one that had the most promise was announcing the impending release of a project to work on a new release for one of the games covered here. Mock ups were done and considerable effort was put into it. We did not receive permission to do this. (in order to not paint anybody as the bad guy here, I will not say who's permission was not given.) Lacking specific permission, the mods here decided not to do it. Doing things without permission has gotten some mods in hot water in the past

                    So anyway, it's the morning of 4/1 and our preferred Idea was kiboshed. So as always, when you react instead of plan, you are left holding a bag of ****.
                    So we went with MY idea for a lame thread asking people to find a nonexistent joke. (defined as lame because the VERY first poster guessed it) We tried to spark it and were quite unsuccessful. And the end result is that SOLVER takes abuse. (in the OT, we don't need threads for that )

                    To all those that participated in helping us bail a sinking ship, thanks.

                    To those that tried their own joke threads, thanks.

                    To those that think this year's prank sucked, you're right. (but those that didn't do one of their own shouldn't be too critical. The posters creativity was also below par this year.)

                    And a special thanks to Solver who agreed to be the patsy on this one. He is the ultimate patsy.

                    RAH
                    So in summary, no joke this year
                    We promise to try better next year.
                    On the plus side, no one got banned or given a pcr as a result
                    It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

                    • Well, a good round-up and disclaimer, sir!

                      I'm used to the role of getting bitten in the butt by them OTers anyway, so ...

                      • I think rah just posted that explanation to make it look like there was no April Fool's joke.

                        Oh yeah, that's what they want us to believe!

                        And see how quick Solver was to back up his story?

                        I for one will not be suckered anymore. I'm continuing my search for the joke.

                            • Utterly lame. I think the mods should ban themselves for a week.

                              • The game thing would have been funny and interesting. Too bad some hot-shot did not allow it.
                                I watched you fall. I think I pushed.
