April Fools!

[oz02]

Happy April Fools everyone!

The site will not be closing down, this was the staff team's sadistic idea of a good joke! We hope noone got offended, and for those who almost ruined the joke... we're watching for you!

oz02 & The Wc3Sear.ch Staff

 

[NightShade[TDA]]

I knew it! :lol:

 

[halo]

haha tahts great to know.i fell for it,bet you had fun leting us twist in the wind.
i learned alot about the mods and other members in irc today thanks to this so called site going down.
btw oz02 unban me from irc that spam was for happieness!

 

[Afronight_76]

almost got me there, since it was posted on march 31. i bet many people were fooled though.

 

[DeadDogNoGoWoof]

and for those who almost ruined the joke... we're watching for you!

like me....it was so obvious. you mods need to learn to lie better.

 

[oz02]

I wonder how many people are going to come up with that line "I knew it". You have to love the feeling of dread that people get when they fall for a practical joke, and then cover it up. It's ok guys, there's nothing wrong with falling for it - I probably would have fallen for it if I was in your situation.

 

[ElfWarfare]

APRIL FOOLS heheh, i had great phun ^^

with all ppl adding me on msn, aim, icq, all the PM's :lol:

 

[Daveman]

Dude next time you should really think of the consiquences that could of happened, people might have spammed everything since they thought it was closing or something. You got me for a bit but please think before you do something like this again

 

[ElfWarfare]

@Daveman: we did have moderators on the watch all the time, i was watching 24h. ^^ well with 2-3 hours of sleep <_<

 

[Daveman]

What were they watching? 2 make sure no one blurted out the secret? Sigh, i still think this joke shouldnt have been played.
Atleast u did this instead of wut wc3c did :S

 

[DeadDogNoGoWoof]

@ oz02 In case your talking about me, I really did know. check my post.

 

[TheLastofMyKind]

I do think daveman is right, even with mods watching, people could have gone crazy, spaming, fights , and such the place couldve been a mess. I see (I think) why the shiny names went away, incase people got the idea of spamming the heck out of the site, they would check for mods(shiny names) and if there wernt any then they would go ahead and do it, if thats not the reason then at least I thought. Good joke, fooled me, yes it did I am not going to lie. Have a happy april fools day.

 

[TheWickerMan]

It'll certainly be interesting to hear people's moaning of how mean you were to them

EDIT: Did you have any contact with Darky about this? Since he's been vacant so much lately he'd just pop in for an april fool or did you create riots without his permission? :roll:

 

[jameslk]

Fewwww.........

OMG how harsh was that...

There you go wickerman.

I am so relieved it was joke. Still you should have taken into better account timezones and stuff. I was so worried for a while there that the site was closing. And mods that was only funny for you and the people sure it was joke. And me I supose because I can imagine one of you leaning back in a swivel chair at work and muttering softly hehehe suckers and then being yelled at by your boss.

 

[Thrall1138]

Not to brag or anything, but I did call it with the first post. Of course I didn't know for sure.

(thinks for a moment)

Does this mean wc3search will now be watching me?

(runs away and hides in a burrow)

Good April fools joke guys, hope no one abbandend the site because of it...
:lol:

 

[ElfWarfare]

*leans back in his chair*
*looks into the eyes of all the members*

And what is its just another cover up? just so you don't think we are shutting the site down? what if I told you it is just another cover?

 

[TheWickerMan]

I'd probably walk away thinking you've all gone mad...

 

[Mr. Clean]

I thought so. I was skeptical about yesterday's "news" for the following reasons.
1. The date it was posted.
2. If the site was going to be shut down due to all of the supposed troubles, why would a new moderator (Daelin) be promoted 2 weeks before the shutdown date.
On the bright side, I managed to fool my fellow Satire Team members (a group of people working on a hilarious map that parodies the battle net community) with this joke on the gamefaqs WC3 TFT Forum.

 

[VGsatomi]

Even G-d has a sense of humor, so so should all of you!

[IceMage]

I hope you had your fun making people deal with the lag on this site looking for good models and skins before the site would "close" April 2nd. Now that this site will remain open there is still hope of a decent ping-pong map to be submitted. How nuch does it cost Darky to maintain this site anyway? And what is Blizzard's stance on this site?

 

[Deathbringer]

well considering the fact i had 3 of my this is a prank posts deleted. I have every right to say...

TOLD YOU SO!

 

[rob]

lol it was just a joke guys calm down its not like it was the end of ur lives, nothing happened anyways :roll: gj tho lol

 

[RaVn0s]

bad boys

have u ever thought on how many ppl got desperate with that?!

WE ARE NOT UR PAWNS. WE GOT FEELINGS. U CANT PLAY WITH US LIKE THAT AS WE WERE NOTHING HOLY SHIT.

anyway im PRETTY GLAD THAT IT WAS A JOKE coz in somewhere hiding in the deeppeest and darkest places of my mind, there was still a hope that it was a lie. a very bad lie.

anyway, past is past, lets just PARTY COZ OUR SITE IS NOT SHUTTING DOW!!!

 

[RH.Vol]

I told you before too btw and Wc3c was really a nice one 8)

 

[DeadDogNoGoWoof]

this site probably got like double the hits than normal, because of all the mass downloading (plus the downoading) . and as far as i know, that means more money for Darky to pay. I may be wrong, but I think you couldve put Darky in a larger paying situation

 

[Greatchickenman]

I wonder how many people are going to come up with that line "I knew it". You have to love the feeling of dread that people get when they fall for a practical joke, and then cover it up. It's ok guys, there's nothing wrong with falling for it - I probably would have fallen for it if I was in your situation.

Except I really did know it and I pointed it out twice.

 

[ToonCrAfter]

Bitches! lol. But seriously I nearly cried...NEARLY! Naw I mine as well say, I cried like a little girl, nearly commited suicide I did.

 

[U.V]

it couldnt have gotten more obvious than that...
o well - nice try

 

[Sansui]

I told ya it was a prank. i knew it all along.

 

[player_72985]

Shame on j00 all!

J00 should be forced to watch this 50 times in a row as punishment: http://69.93.225.202/3661_eggsong.swf - I was really depressed! I thought you were going to really shutdown :'( Well I am glad your not, now I can download everything over the period of 5000 years that it would take to do so since I am stuck on 56k

 

[Jacek]

That wasn't funny! You scared me off, i couldn't sleep tonight. You could say the Models were deleted or something but not this.

 

[Sprite_Boi]

Kekekekkeke, i had a feeling that this was an april joke >=)

 

[Goliath the God]

Very nice April Fools guys, I nearly believed, but for this reason I didn't:
1 April
New Mod - Daelin
Darky didn't even enter the conversation,
I'm sure he would if the site was going down.

I'm still laughing :lol:

 

[darkmaster24_7]

heh well you had me for a couple of hours untill i visited my other forum ive joined with the people there i know convinced me you were lyin, so it was good but it got increasingly obvious since time went by and some of you mods didnt hide that it was an april fool very well

im guessing that last post i made was deleted? cant be bothered to check the sites still a bit laggy

 

[SeaGull1723]

Ah, you people can't take a joke. You look at www.wc3campaigns.com and see the amount of jokes they've been through. Remember, kiddies. People lie on the internet just to make you believe. My advice to you: don't. =P

@Daveman: Everyone has to take a joke. I mean people like you are a bit too serious. At somepoint, people have to be sarcastic. =P

@ElfWarfare: 24 hours? That scares me, Elfy. :roll:

@oz02: Now, are we going to get our moderator colors back? You better or I'll kill you. =P

 

[-Vindic@tor-]

As I said: if it is a joke, then it's a good one. Being suspicious is healthy...

Anyways, it was really a GREAT joke, I love playing with pplz fears :twisted:

 

[HardGamerDz]

....... Please. Dont. Do. It. Agin! :twisted:


I knew that you people would make a joke. Next time, please, be nicer!


When will your Darky-is-dead-campaign be out? It would be really fun to control the adminstors and hunt down the guy who saw them... :twisted:

 

[{AR}Nazuel]

lol, iv gotta say, there was alot of proof against it, so personally i didnt believe it completley (although there was always the possibility of the site shutting down) i was going to post the different reasons why the site wasnt shuting down, but i didnt wanna spoil the joke for evryone

just gotta add; nice one guys, you fooled alot of people

 

[Daelin]

Ehehe... *takes a sarcastic tone "Poor Darky who goes to the university and has to pay a lot. What would you choose, real life or a site for which you even have to pay?" LOL... I have to agree that it was funny convincing some of you with this stupid excuse. And btw, thanks for all the PMs. It was nice from you.

And btw, the one who kept deleting posts around was neither Darky, Oz02, VGSatomi, DarkShadow or AlfredX. It was someone else... (and no, it wasn't me...)

I told ya it was a prank. i knew it all along.

Yeah right Sansui... Of course you knew. You are a mod and all mods saw this planning. And you could've kept it for yourself instead of trying to ruin our prank.

Very nice April Fools guys, I nearly believed, but for this reason I didn't:
1 April
New Mod - Daelin

What do you mean by the "New Mod - Daelin". Was there something wrong with me?

~Daelin

 

[DarkShadow]

And btw, the one who kept deleting posts around was neither Darky, Oz02, VGSatomi, DarkShadow or AlfredX. It was someone else... (and no, it wasn't me...)

Nah, not completely right. At least I tried to delete a topic, but my connection was to slow so I let the "someone else" handle it

And yeah, we're really mean guys :twisted:

 

[alfredx_sotn]

Heh I couldn't stop laughing when I read 'legality issues'
Oh regarding Darky's absence, it's because he is busy studying, and playing too much WoW. I just had a chat with him a few days ago before april fools.

(I never knew this site was so important to the eye of the crowd.)

 

[Darkness[TDA]]

I knew it!

Well, looking back can prove that I knew it! Unless those mods deleted it.

 

[RaVn0s]

lol ure so mean

well guess we (the desperated community of this site, the loyal, trustworthy and of course FOOLISH ppl who believed this SADISTIC joke

that was mean for sure, i saw ppl offering their site has "stockage" for the resources, ppl who compiled many things to save and help this site.

now that WE satisfied ur sadistic pleasures dear mods, guess u could make an event to "comemorate" the non-closing site that re-births right now.

a party would sure quence the anger of the fooled ppl :lol: it was a good joke, that we can't deny it :lol:

 

[Daelin]

Awww... we are sorry Ravn0s but the milk and cookies were consumed while we celebrated the success of our prank. But who knows... other surprises might come up. And hopefully pleasant surprises.

~Daelin

 

[RaVn0s]

yeah yeah

oh im sure we'll like these "pleasant surprises"

guess u are owning us some happyness, OMFG i almost had a heart attack when i saw urs and VGsatomi's posts
until that moment i thought it was a joke but...

just make these stressed moments be worthy with. compensate us!!

 

[UnLimiTeD]

u r watching 4 me..... how interesting... lol, i'm gonna freeze in fear

 

[Rui]

WTF??

Daelin?! º_º u mean that are no cookies or milk left??? O M G ( i didnt visit this site for a few days). U abominations u ate everything!

I didnt read the other news that were containing the joke since i saw this one first^^.
WTF? changing subject are we? Daelin ill spam on u in MSN .
When i saw the message that site was closing my heart almost stopped . dont do that again -.- . and i didnt even remember that fools day^^ was too busy, but like i say; u talk much but u dont say nothing xD.

Dont joke with that subjects... people could have gone mad; spammers, flamers (who flamed so much that got burned i guess), etc.

 

[oz02]

The site going crazy? Hah. The staff was watching the site closely just in case, and, as you can see, it didn't happen.

For those who are complaining, if you took it that seriously then you need to get out a little. Lighten up, it was a joke.

@TheWickerMan: Nope. Haven't seen any trace of Darky since his Easter post.

 

[Daelin]

Well... Since nobody saw some old post of mine I think I'll repeat this (maybe I only thought I said this): Darky was on the site on 31 March while the nameplates were changed. He changed the colors but I dunno why. He stood very short online and then disappeared again.

~Daelin

 

[AzUrE]

Next site joke date: approximately June 23.
Watch this post get deleted. However, I hope that joke comes. Had great fun with it last year.

PS: Mods if u delete my post please send me a PM :lol:
