Gotcha!

Sooooo.....this means no epic W1zzard retirement For Sale thread?

Bummer.

:laugh:

i know right? iv seen pictures of the boxes I wouldnt even want to buy them just touch it a bit. Then maybe ask him if i can have some low end card and have him sign it. then ill put it on a shelf and never use it.
 
^^ Never thought of that... Being in Europe, i could of got some cheap upgrades :(
 
XD

What a funny! I got worried bout W1zz but didn't even know he was a joker. GOOD ONE! LMFAO!
 
Man...I have been gone the last few days...depressed 'cause W1zz was leaving...then I log in today and see this. THANK GOD YOU ARE STAYING.

NOT FUNNY THOUGH!!! Actually, freakin hillarious. Best April Fools joke EVER!!! BTW, the Phsyx thing was pretty damn funny too. LOL

Glad you are staying....we are nothing without our trusted and valiant leader. :D
 
Can't believe people actually bought it. It was pretty obvious... the owner leaves his site because a few trolls? come on! That's why they invented the banhammer[tm].

Well he had us convinced that it wasn't just the trolls. He also said he wast mostly sick of trade shows, writing reviews, and generally all things IT related.

Yup. And people who hate their jobs (like me) can relate.

Well they did a good job playing out the motions, it seemed sincere
 
You sick bastard!!. tsk, tsk, W1zz.:slap:

:toast:

I've always had a certain disdain for April Fools.:laugh:
 
@Wiz

were the last 2 days amusing to you? reading the comments, getting "PLEASE STAY" spam on your email, etc...?
 
Just one word for you, but for the sake of politness.... I'll turn it into 2..... BAR STEWARD!
 
W1zzard, I have been fighting a kidneystone for 3 weeks now, and just when I was starting to get better you kicked us all in our balls (mine were still a bit sore from the past 3 weeks). I have never wished that pain on anyone, but you, my friend, you might just make it to that list if I ever write one out!

Hats off to one of the most heartfelt jokes heard round the interwebz!
 
Yea, imagine, I, who was here for only 1 and a third year, felt real bad when I thought you were going to leave.... So for the people who have been here 4yrs + :eek:

Already, TPU has started to become part of my life, so for the mods and the long time members, it must have been pretty painful
 
Not as bad as the stone, but he had me going, I mean not even a clue behind closed doors, nothing!
 
And it became worse when it was noon, April 2nd, seemed like it was 100% true :(

Oh btw, hope you recover well !! :o

I still think that's pretty sick and demented he didn't even let y'all know . . . or even let the TPU hit squad in on the joke . . .

That is simply pure genius.
 
One of my favourite sites announced they were quitting on the april day 3 years ago. Unfortunately that wasn't a joke, and it's still not back. Sooo... thinking about that made me really believe in w1zz's quitting. Not funny at all.

Yes, I agree 100%. Simply awe inspiring as far as April Fools are concerned.

Yes, indeed this was the best April Fool I've ever seen - and he did it by cheating with the dates, too, the rascal. :laugh: I mean heck, I'm a pretty sceptical guy and do not fall for things. Yet, even though I wasn't quite 100% convinced (you know, the niggling doubt) I still fell for it enough to send him a "sorry to see you go! :cry:" PM, signed the stupid petition and made several posts on here lamenting his passing.

Man, I've never felt so had. :o :roll:

Of course, having cried wolf once, what about next time W1zzard makes a dramatic announcement: will anyone believe him?! :p

W1zz is a stand up guy. If he says something you can believe him.
Just be careful the week before and after April 1st.
