Post subject:  HAPPY PWNDAY '06!: You Can't Keep Me Down
HAPPY FORUMDAY TO ME, HAPPY FORUMDAY TO ME, HAPPY FORUMDAY TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…

AND HAPPY PWNDAY TO YOU!

Hey, guys! Did anyone actually figure it out? We left a couple of clues for those who could catch them…

1. My forumday just happened to be the next day
2. I was banned over something completely trivial
3. Guest posting suddenly allowed in Off-Subject Discussion!?!

I’m sure some of you had your doubts, and I want to apologize to anyone who was truly offended by this charade – we weren’t trying to be mean to you guys, we were just trying to pwn you! Speaking of which, next time someone pulls a stunt like this, please don’t be such drama queens over it… I’m not talking to all of you on this, but you know who you are. ;)

This is how it started: about a week ago, I decided that for my forumday, I would post a big, grand leaving-for-good message and triumphantly return the next day. But the whole Alexander issue started just between then and now, and when I talked to Seethroo on Gabbly, he vetoed it.

BUT…

He suggested something even better: he would ban me for something trivial, and turn everyone on the forum against him! We set it up, and executed it last night… and you saw what happened.

Exhibit A
Exhibit B

As you can see…
1. The triple-post was planned
2. I was banned, but not permanently nor seriously
3. The freaking out in the Making An Example thread was planned, down to the censors and everything
4. Seethroo’s powers weren’t revoked (HE CAN STILL BAN J00)
5. And I definitely was not serious when I said I was leaving for good

So, I’d like to thank everyone who believed the farce and isn’t mad, everyone who believed the farce and IS mad, everyone who never believed the farce and thinks I’m an idiot, and the mods and admins who let me and Seethroo do this. Also thanks to everyone who emailed me (Exhibit A, Homeschool, Ninti). And thanks to the few of you who made the comments about me being the “heart of the forum” and other such nonsense… not true at all, but it made me feel good. :D

Anyway, I think most of you can say that you were all very successfully…

Happy Pwnday, everybody!

I wasn't informed till it was already happening. This is still great though. Grand jorn Seethroo and TEF, Ace and the other mods, admins, and everyone else.

Seriously, though, I was skeptical about the whole thing.

Thank goodness you've spreaded LOVE with this hoax.

Happy forum day, Darth Leaf-Face!

Good job Teff.

I'm so lucky ducky. I knew before all you.

He got me too though...

I think we've all learned something. This forum has a ton of drama queens.

People, honestly. Would Seethroo really do something like that? No. You guys know him better than that.

It's true. I was in on it. Stu let me know about the whole plot after Teff had been "banned" and I had gotten bent out of shape about it.

The plan was to have Teff banned, then I guess perhaps I was supposed to step up and "lead the rebels", or just ignite the revolt. It didn't quite work out that way. A lot of people decided to not take a side, and stand by and watch. Since I couldn't seem to rally you guys around me, I just acted the stereotypical angry person. Until the end, where I gave up on it.

For those of you on Gabbly, Jesty actually let it slip, too. You guys were just too excited to notice. ;)

Ah, yes. I heard through the grapevine that it was a joke.

Great job, y'all!

And happy forumday!

You win shippy. Yes.

Aww. You guys. You rock. I totally fell for that.

But I really think it will turn out to be a good thing. I mean, we all got together, and we formed a peace union. See this sig? I'm keeping it, no matter what.

But what about that guy who left?

Hey, Tefferson! You seem to have overlooked the fact that it's my forumday too! (Though my post count might suggest otherwise). Two freaking years. Do we really have nothing better to do?

You mean EverybodyLovesSteven? I told him to stick around another day, but he wouldn't seem to listen. I'll send him a message on a messenger.

This was also the reason I told Ninti to wait "One more day".

I bow to you good sirs. This whole deal seemed fishy to me from the start but I never would have guessed a prank of this magnitude would have popped up. Y'all had me honestly worried.

Ladies and Gentleman, Boy and Girls, Dead people, and Ace too,

The problem is, we've raised the bar for forum pranks.

You know, if you didn't let me in on it, I would have skipped "angry Ace" and moved on to "everyone stfu and move on Ace".

But yeah, I guess I can't avoid it. I'm really glad Stu let me in on it. Of course, then I got to break the news to Ramrod. And that felt sweet.

Man, you should cite your sources next time! I told you it was "BRLLNT" and everything!

I don't know either...this is/was the best thing I can think of. I thought the "Knowledge Base going old school" was big, but...

Excellent work, all involved. Killer prank. Anything that creates that much drama deserves praise.

:)

I'm on a sports board that had a prank last summer... during the time when everyone is starved for sports information (July, August) some board members started posting rumors that a big time football player was transferring to a local school. Everyone was up in arms when it was revealed, two weeks later, to be a hoax. People cancelled vacations so as not to miss the "announcement".

Quality.

Man. I wish I could think of something cool. I'm always being pranked. And I'm sure there's nothing someone of my status could do to prank the forum.

So I'll just stake it out and try not to get pulled.

Just so y'all will know, about 10 minutes before zero-hour, when Teffers posted that pic, I had an "oh, crap" moment. I was thinking that we were gonna drive everyone off.

Unfortunately, you're all still here. :p
