RANT: No GRB April Fools. Again.
Two years in a row now. The fake admin forum was great, and the you have been banned message before that.

Re: RANT: No GRB April Fools. Again.
There was an April Fools joke last year - Michael made a GRB sticky thread about how he was shutting it down. IIRC, Lesson was caught hook, line, and sinker.
I believe two years ago Michael changed the homepage (the actual http://www.gatewayredbirds.com page, not the forum index page) to make it say something. The problem was nobody ever went to the main homepage - everyone's shortcuts on their computer were always tied directly to the forum index. Now I don't think there even is a main homepage - if you type it in it just redirects you to the forum index

Didn't it change to a Cubs forum one year?

People got pissed about that one. The year GRB was hacked by Cubs fans...I believe that was our first.

When April fools falls on a weekend it sucks. People don't want to waste their personal time putting in the effort to develop a prank. They want to waste work time doing that.

It's tough to follow that one. Maybe that's why there hasn't been one.AWvsCBsteeeerike3 wrote:Lesson believing michael was absolutely the best. I wonder if that thread still exists.
