XS forums did that this year.. all VIPs had display name "FUGGER"

And every cruncher (or at least WCG'er) was Movieman. Some of the kiddies definitely freaked out.

Still doesn't beat the [H] merger thread though even if it wasn't the real Fugger who started it. I'm always down with Kyle bashing.

Also... I'd kid around with the forum censorship so that most common words are automatically misspelt.

After a person submits post, what he wrote would be full of: liek, taht, teh, wrod...

And some other substitutions - imagine like every time the word "computer" is posted, it transforms into the word "wife"

that would be epic lol, espicially for those who are seriously spelling nazis

I would like a fake review, but that's a lot of effort.

A review of a company's fake product. Like the razer talon that somebody posted a few pages back.

Somebody? I expect better from a Divinity!

I honestly don't think W1zz is going to be able to recreate the chaos and drama of the "I'm quitting" prank in an April Fools attempt ever again.
It not only sucked in almost everyone (including us poor uninformed mods) but reverberated across the tech sites all over the interwebz.

To get that kind of response again, it would have to be a prank at another time of year when it's not expected.

Maelstrom · Apr 2, 2011

It's probably not possible, but what I'd do is make a second account that looked like a standard account, but had elevated privileges (like giving out infractions, making news post, etc), and that was still ban-able, but where I could un-ban myself. Then I'd just start messing with the site, pissing off mods and other users :laugh:

Oh, he could top this all right - just fake his own death!

Yup, complete with news stories in the media: 100% believability. Then, the other admins on here would have to be somehow "unreacheable", leaving an orphaned forum that no one can administer and maintain. What happens to TPU???

Oh yes, That would work a treat.

Kreij · Apr 2, 2011

Faking his own death, even if it was believable, would not generate the level of chaos and drama that his quitting did.
Come on ... people were literally begging him not to quit and discussing where they would go when the site changed hands, and even offering to follow him to his new endeavors.
Can't do that if he's dead.

Talk about a newb. :shadedshu
It's widely know that W1zz's super-human knowledge can only be ascribed to his being from an advanced race from another planet.

No one knows for sure, but the consensus is that he is the Supreme Commander of ... The Borg.

There is a subspace relay not too far away. I pull about 1000 petabits per second with a 1ns latency.

You're right. No bandwidth can D/L your mind. Dial-up and about 30 seconds will do. :nutkick:

lol

Told everyone! Shun the non believer's!

Nah, you're confusing me with the other guy.

My mind is far too vast. Well, my ego anyway.

Kreij · Apr 2, 2011

Merciful Mussles? You obviously never crossed him.

Qubit said:

Space is vast too, but there's nothing in it. Just saying.

@Alex : You have a cleaned-up version of the book of knowledge. The real passage reads as such ...

TPU Book Of Knowledge said:
... and behold the slime which had desicrated the hallowed halls was once again released to wreak pain and misery upon all those who believed it's deciept and lies. Let all who have listened and learned beware, for their mortal souls wither in the presence of the slime and they thus become like it. Only to be cast into the pit with their despised master when all truth is revealed.

I'm not saying that this prophecy is referring to Mussels, I'm just quoting the original version.

There are prophecies for all the Mods which are pretty specific too. I think this is how they pick new mods.
Besides W1zz, Urlyin, DS, Bta and me, I'm not sure who all has the original manuscripts.

caleb · Apr 2, 2011

Kreij you scared me. I almost forgot that wizz quit thing and its really horrible another year passed so quickly. I remember that "quitting" as it was a few months ago...
Then again I remember TPU starting up and it will soon be a decade lol.

caleb said:

Yeah ... That's in the Book of Knowledge too ...

TPU Book of Knowledge said:
.. and he who stands tall will will come upon great adversary and tribulation which will cause him to descend from his honorable seat and succumb to that which threatens him. There will be a wailing and gnashing of teeth from those whom have dedicated themselves to his honor, but their cries will be in vain. Not until the passing of the age shall they see his re-ascension to his rightful place and order restored.
