To show people that care about RT and page 1000 that it doesn't matter.

First off, if this server can handle over 2000 individual Wiki articles, over 10,00 Wiki users, over 4000 forum users, over 9000 topics, and over 500,000 posts, I think it could handle a few more. Second, Yes. Third, Pranks are a form of art. Its a step above trolling. You have to have all aspects of the prank figured out, and everyone involved has to go along with it, hold their mouths, and say only what has to be said when needed. The makings of a prank within a public thread is just the largest way to blow your cover. You have to spread the idea through PMs and MSN and junk. |

It was indeed done on Gabbly. Seethroo and Teff, and I think like two other people were there. The only ones who knew when it was executed were me, the mods, and a select few. Now THAT was a flawless prank. |

Oh yeah it was. It was great. Too bad noone knows how to make a perfect prank anymore. |

This was met with anger by most of the Forum populace, and it resulted in pages upon pages of discussion. Of course, many of the users were in on the plan, as it was discussed openly in the IRC chat channel. However, many of them weren't, and were tricked into believing that Teff was actually banned. On exactly 12:00 AM Teff-Time, he reveiled that it was all a trick. Other: This was really funny.

EDIT: Heh, I just discovered a typo in there. I have to fix that later... |

I have a gooood feeling about this. Unfortunately I can't think of s topic worthy of an entire thread, but encouraging discussion in the threads we have is always good too. |

Why don't you make a topic about whatever is on your mind? Make a forum game, make a R&P thread, or just post in existing threads. |

It is, but people confused the purpose of RT, and thought it was a Blog or something. In RT, we don't care about you Cat mittens, your Skin Cancer, or what you had for dinner, all that crap goes elsewhere. |

Good point. I also just realized that it would be cool to have a user toggle to block images over a certain size / dimension. That would keep the "hey look guise i can copy off 4chan lol" guys from annoying anyone that didn't want it. Not that I am one or anything. |

Temple of Dagon is PHPBB2, and their images scale down to fit the window if they are too big, I could ask them what they are using, but they use a custom theme specifically designed for them... |
