LetThePointsSoar Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 It's amazing how dead the giants board is. (and how stupid) Agreed. How long did it take to get a username approved for everyone? I'm guessing my proposed username of "theGMenSUCK" might be a dandy for the approving mods. :evilg: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeluCopter29 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Someone wanna tell me what happened? One way or another, it's a prank. If you hated it that means it did it's job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mods fixed ES so that anything you clicked took you to the giants message board. He set up this thread explaining that they had ambushed ES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Kev Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Nice prank, not great, but ok. Even though the mods have owned up to it, I think that I'm still gonna blame Mara. Lets not lose focus on who the bad guys are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipwhich Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 This prank was better than Art's overdone "I am leaving ES" thread even in years when a lot of people didn't know him because he didn't post here anymore. I am surprised he didn't do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaRock Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Gotta say, I didn't think the "prank" was all that funny, but when you sit back and reflect and say, "hey, it's a prank, on April Fool's and it's at least original..." and then you sit back and read some of these reactions, you really appreciate it more.Thank you to the three of you. You made a prank that I thought was okay at best turn into an amazing one. I wasn't talking about the prank, just in general. hhaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s0crates Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I see there's still a buncha Sandy babies running around here. Yeah, just too tense. Need to loosen up. Now excuse me while I crawl under this table and pass out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you to the three of you. You made a prank that I thought was okay at best turn into an amazing one. Ya know, late last night after I read TK's pm to the mods about this, and another idea he had for April Fool's, I sent a reply out this .am. Not to be Grinchy, but have a lot going on this weekend including company, so in and out on the board a little, and the house a lot. Leave me out of any April Fool's gags, but enjoy. And later, on way across the mouth of the Columbia River, I did think "hmmm...not gonna be well-received by the mock draft guys", but what the hell (and they're really the only guys I think even have anything to fuss about, even minimally). Normally, if the 4/1 prank is a good one, you always have some pissed, some who think its was stupid (often I'm one of them), some medium (that's for you, zorny), and some getting a good laugh, or some combination of these. But I'll tell ya one way TK's nicer than I am---even though it's all supposed to be in fun, I'd be real tempted to send those three packing, KDawg, and sure as hell wouldn't miss them anymore than I do 90% of the others that have been sent packing or left voluntary for other places. If it wasn't for a lot of hard work <I **** you not> by Rick and the rest of the staff, this place would have folded like a cheap tent some time back and/or mutated in who knows what. If the way it's run now is so unpleasing for you, PLEASE don't let the door hit you in the ass. PLEASE. I think it's usually great for everyone when that happens (voluntary departures when really dissatisfied). And on that note, unless your really have your head totally up your ass, you would know where you can find most of the "earliest" mods, or least find plenty of other Redskins boards. How's that for Grinchy? :evilg: The "pay site" gag was one I liked a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarhog Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I thought it was funny. I told some of the other 'old mods' it looked like you'd been hacked (because I didn't think you all would have the jewels to do it to yourself). So props on that front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't want to just name it outright when I think that if someone really wants it, it's better if ya work a little for it. :pfft: Obviously, I can never think of any of you guys as "the old mods." It appears I still age, myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkart Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I had a similar trick played on me years ago at work, it was lunch time so I went to log into Redskins.com, as usual and it sent me to the friggin Cowboys page, I was like WTF and tried again and got same page so I called home and had my wife log on and she got the correct page. I walked my ass up to the CAD/CAM room to question the most likely suspect, he was wondering WTF I was talking about when I hear Chinh giggling behind me, the most least likely suspect! I was dude, you friggin got me good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 24/7 gambling spree's really starting to affect my life after all these years. Maybe I should give up drinking at least.

Well, you're about to be proven wrong. I call this "suicide by mod". Why you would think this type of post would be ignored, or that you are somehow invincible, I have no idea. Good riddance, if this is the quality of posts you've been contributing for the past ten years. Also, how you can be here for a ****ing decade and not know how to avoid circumventing the profanity filters is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 ^^^Way to throw down, derp. just 'cuz i liked the old mods, doesn't mean i'm not gonna come here for news. and you would sent me packing for saying that? u ain't gonna do s***. second, adding to why this site is not like it used to be. so keep your long-winded opinion speeches to yourself since u think people can't voice themselves. Well, there was more to the context there, peanut, but nah, it was clear I wasn't gonna send you "packing" for it (reading comprehension can be your friend). You sorta should have realized you were still here and able to make this post right? I don't know what other "opinion speeches" may be rattlin' round in your noggin, or about me thinking "people can't voice themselves", but maybe you could get Lassie to communicate for you. She's better at it. But I do thank you for channeling your inner lemming. :cool: Cuz in that post you do break rules 6 & 18. And when I went to check your user notes (lo & behold) I saw previous violations involving different mods and another ban on rule 18. Which means we have a weiner for a nice long vacation, Johnny! (btw,if you think that was long-winded, you should see some of my really good ones ) Rest assured, I will continue adding to making this site not like it used to be (as you likely would see it). One less fool to end the day named for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
