April fools!
 
Anyone thought of any good prank for April 1st?
Last year I used the {username} and {email}. Worked great!
I found some old hacks from 2003, 2004 but I doubt they will work with newer versions of Vb. Some of the coders are pretty clever when it comes to pranks. Can you guys come up with something good for this April?

Force Change of Timezone, add something like 23:59 hours... everybody will be messed out, thinking they missed an entire day at work.. :)

One year I opened the postbit template and added "is gay" after the username variable..

That might not be suitable for everyone though.

Good way to freak out your entire staff, make up some hacker name and upload the html file, remove the php file, watch everyone freak, leave it that way for about 2 hours then remove the index.html file and reupload your index.php file, you will have threads about being hacked, questions all over the place. That might be pushing it but would be interesting to see how it turns out once the index.html file is removed.

good joke Steve... (as usual, you are more brilliant than me)

nexialys: um not sure if that was sarcasm or an actual compliment but either way, I would have to say that your posts speak for your brilliance over mine. :D

I usually edit the postbit templates and just put in ridiculous "names" in place of the usernames. I also rename my forums altogether. Since I run a music site for metalheads, I change things like "General Music Discussion" to "Arguments about Korn".

vb's notices function could be used for some personalized joked.

Release a hack that is "unbeliveable" and people try it then it looks like it just crashed there site with errors yet it really didn't lol

Some interesting ideas indeed. Keep 'em coming.

I was also thinking to make a joke around {username} hack, but I will see how...
