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

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.
