Catterjune Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 My own personal thoughts: I always hated the "ZOMG! WE'D BEEN HACKED!" kinds of April Fools pranks. No need to cause a commotion. Just irritate them kind of. =D [quote]Why not make everyone's rank become 12 and make everyone's Member Title be "April Fools!".[/quote] Regular mods can't do that. [quote]how about put in there sig a spoiler for every pic a the code and out a note that says we removed you sig pics whahaha [/quote] ... What? Speak English man. [quote]Change everyone's names? [/quote] Would take too long with whatever powers we have, as it has to be done manually. [quote]Switch around all the Forum Links? For example, clicking the link to Realistic Cards would bring you to say, Clubs and Organizations. [/quote] That's rather clever but YCM is made of 80 percent idiots and n00bs. If they click on FanFic ready to post a Fanfic and they catapulted into Music, odds are they'll post their fic right where they landed. And that's even IF they post in the right place to begin with.

Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Is this why YCM was down for quite a while? 'cause if that's what they were doing when it was down, then this is pretty sad, yes. But I actually didn't even expect YCM to do anything for April Fool's, so better this than nothing. But you know the biggest trolls in all of history on April Fool's Day? deviantART. I don't think YCM can pull off anything nearly as clever as dA. I guess it'd just be nice if YCM thought things through a little better for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 [quote name='Anbu-of-Sand' timestamp='1301699403' post='5105665'] What did deviantART do? [/quote] You gotta look up the years since around 2005 to now 2011. But the most infamous April Fool's Joke was that dA changed every single account icon to "So I herd u liek mudkipz?" in 2008. And in 2010, each members' avatars were changed to any set of icons depicting Team Jacob, Team Edward, Legend of the Seeker, and Lady Gaga, along with signatures to match the icons. This year, the trollface pops up at random times when you're searching the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 [i]That's rather clever but YCM is made of 80 percent idiots and n00bs. If they click on FanFic ready to post a Fanfic and they catapulted into Music, odds are they'll post their fic right where they landed. And that's even IF they post in the right place to begin with. [/i] I was thinking that when Anbu made his suggestion. It would put a lot of stress on the mods to move every single retard's thread to the correct forum. Also, this "trick" ironically changed nothing for sections that didn't have pinned threads to begin with, or very few of them. C&O was the most affected because people who frequently post in pinned threads will have to put in an extra three seconds of effort finding their thread. I don't know exactly how one would go about implementing this, but it wouldn't be a terrible idea to have the card maker "malfunction" for 24 hours. Sucks for people who don't use the card maker, though. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cin Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 We did what we could with what time we had. It was hard trying to push for something when barely any mods posted in the topic for ideas.

Make an account called Pedobear, troll/stalk/creep the forums to death. No one ban it until afterward. [/quote] No one would know it was an April Fools prank though. They'd just know some creepy weirdo showed up on the board one day and started posting then, presumably, left. And that's assuming any not-mod noticed it.

[/quote] If we could make people supers and admins, don't you think we'd have tried on ourselves instead of sticking around and barely having the man power to keep this forum running? tl;dr - Only a forum admin could do it, and we only have 2 and neither of them ever sign on.
