*looks at my join date* ...I wouldn't know. xD

You'd be surprised what they have done.

-Banning a staff member (2005)
-Getting hacked (2006)
-Making everyone mods (2008)

Those are like the only ones I know of, but there should be more.

O_O
How in hell's blue blazes are they going to top that?

Her January 19th, 2009 9:05 PM

Wait, what happened to April Fools 2007?

STEVE GOT SPACED OUT.

All I can think of is banning everyone, but that isn't easy.
Let's expect the unexpected for this year's April Fool's prank.

Or possibly deleting/locking every topic in the community.
Or maybe just hiding every topic.

Her January 19th, 2009 9:09 PM

Demodding Ryab.

I call scandal.

More surprising and funny and stuff. XD And unexpected.

Eh, true I guess. My idea would be more annoying. xD
A whole day with every topic locked..

I still don't see how they can top modding everyone.

DCC's got deleted then recovered and three staff demodded themselves. Boring.

Demodding everyone.
Hooray for winning.

Caelus January 19th, 2009 9:12 PM

^From what I've read the hack gave members access to the staff forums (I think).


Whatever it is it can't be disappointing (Chances are they haven't ran out of ideas).

Oh, and I updated one of my posts to include links to those threads.

Now, I'm not specifying on what exactly the drama is about, but it's pretty big, and then somehow the members gain the ability to post there, proving greater and greater "stress" for the staff and what they're arguing about, because apparently it's not supposed to be viewed in member eyes.

And then everyone gets mad cause the staff tells the members to eff off of their forum and then we have a PC-wise angst.

...Man, lol at my creativity.

That was in 2006's April Fools? Though wait... this time real?

xD

Her January 19th, 2009 9:18 PM

Stuff calming down, screw up the staff forums for future generations.

Ho-Oh January 19th, 2009 9:22 PM

I have a few ideas.

- Nominating members for banning.
- Members nominating each other to become mods, and the ones that get voted the most get banned.
- Making "Off Topic Discussions" invisible, as well as the official forums, leaving the members to only have Pokemon areas to post in.
- Allow every member to have a blog.
- Make a "spam" forum.

... and etc. I'll think of more. XD

Ho-Oh January 19th, 2009 9:25 PM

Yeah that's what I was thinking.

Last year I had this theory that they'd lock TCTI so I tried to get munna to spread rumours. Didn't work. XD;

If TCTI is going to be involved in this year's April Fools in some way. And the rest of OT

They could probably delete every post in this thread, but by then that would be impossible.
Or they might even move it to a section that disables post.


I'm not really that great when it comes to originality *sigh*.

Ho-Oh January 19th, 2009 9:32 PM

... move it to another section?

Why not just disable posts there? XD;

Sublime January 19th, 2009 9:38 PM

Wow, going through those old April Fools threads was hilarious.
xD

I like your ideas, Forever. xD

Caelus January 19th, 2009 9:44 PM

I have an idea. Not that great or anything, but it's better than my first two ideas.

-Disable post count in every forum. Not sure how this works on Vbulletin, but if done right everyone here should have 0 posts.

Again, not that great, but it's a try.

Compared to what I read in the April Fool's day threads, that doesn't really seem like much :/

This would piss off noobs:
Delete the ShinyGold thread.
xD

Ho-Oh January 19th, 2009 9:47 PM

Yeah but what use would that prove?

It has to be something fooling... post count disabling doesn't fool me. Unless, they say mewthree did it, and then get into a fight with the other admins over being a staff admin and admin and ooh conflict! Yay.

And... soft delete, yes?

Now that might actually be convincing.
And somewhere along the lines, mewthree just gives up his position completely.

Thats impossible.

Imagine him being a mod, let alone a member.

Ho-Oh January 19th, 2009 9:53 PM

Or... that divides the entire staff. And he only has two other staff members on his side and somehow demod others.

I dunno, haven't really thought about it. XD

He could keep his position, but then demods the others, more believable, yeah.

It would only be for that day of course. Then all the higher-up's jump out and say "Suprise!" while we laugh and all the gullible members cry.
:D

Either way, Staff drama would be interesting :3
