Lol, it is working very very easily :D People really think for a moment we're changing niche.

[you] replacement again but announcing a new administrator. Just did it now, forgot about april fools. Last year I got everyone good with the [you] replacement.

I v-flipped all the thumbnails of my forum http://forum.scanlover.com:D

I think this is the best one.

Since most of my users use Windows and resolutions 1024x768, i placed a splashing image of Windows Blue Screen of Death right in front of everything.

After 5 seconds users were redirected back to a special thread.

I got tons of PM's so far....

:D

I messed about with the replacement variables and changed a list of words, my list was:

and --> nd
good --> l33t
really --> rly
seriously --> srsly
the -- > teh
was --> was like
you --> U

I said the site was hacked by a guy from Hamamelidenteum Jungle, based in the Yalala Islands and hated literacy etc... you can read about it here :) http://www.friendscircle.co.uk/showthread.php?t=5660

I posted a thread here.... see if you can find it ;)

GENIUS LOFL!!!!! ROFL!!!!!

:rolleyes: :up: :cool:

For me, not much officially, but I did invert the colours of the style and banner on my site (which took a damn well long time to do in fact). For good or bad though, there's no annoying any of my site's members, so it working as a 'shock' is non existant.

In January, I finally upgraded my 3.6 site to 3.8. A bunch of the users freaked out over all the new social things - groups, albums, visitor messages. So, we announced today that we had a new url and a new direction towards social networking and a new layout to go with it (used the facebook one here). Then we added the vbtwitter plugin also. They freaked out even more. :cool: We knew we couldn't top last years (we used the Banning hack that ends up banning the user), so we went pretty easy on them this year. Oh, I meant to also add that as part of the notice, I listed the most popular social groups and in the list I said there was a "suprisingly popular one - Nude Pictures of Yourself (over 18 only)". It is not *the* most popular group by far! Everyone is joining to see what is going on (you can't see the discussions unless you are a member). Very funny to see that happening. :)

I did that for a couple of years. Beer went to 'milk of amnesia' and I had quite a few others. I didn't manage to remember in time this year. One of the admins rick-rolled a load of members by telling them we needed donations and that I'd been putting a brave face on it. He even managed to get me wondering what was going on until I clicked the donate.php link.

What was on the the donation page?


I don't have a forum anymore so I played a prank on my mom who knows the technical side of computers.
After my mom stepped away from the computer and went to the kitchen I rushed to launch the BSOD screensaver.
