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

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....

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

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. 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.
