@Rhywden said in Fuck this place:
I myself am not receptive to any arguments by boomzilla or anyone else of his ilk anymore - his willful ignorance, his petty cherry-picking and his superiority complex don't really show me that his arguments are anything worth listening to.
Eh, the feeling is amusingly (and probably predictably) mutual.
This threw me off for a moment:
-
I don't understand....

-
@loopback0 must not work on mobile.
Edit: or maybe not in a non-default theme?
-
@Tsaukpaetra Is your local date (or the date on the device, at least) April 1st?

Fuck if I know what the date is....

@Tsaukpaetra Try again tomorrow.

That sounds like effort. I'll just wait.

Methinks it's targeted.

I forgot about this.
In retrospect changing my avatar might have been a bad idea. Oh well.

Here's the same post in First-of-April-o-vision:
It's subtle, so check next to the timestamp.
Also, glad that this still works:

It depends on the last digit in your user id.

You also have to not be @accalia nor @blakeyrat. I don't know how well you can handle that.

@boomzilla said in April Fools (Re: Fuck this place):
This was indeed too much when alongside the username changes, so I have changed my avatar.
-
@kazitor They complained so much to get excluded?
This is... not unexpected.

Alas, the list of who upvoted reveals distinct alts of @boomzilla …
-
@dkf that's some idea for next year. Extend downvote masking hack to also mask upvotes.

Fun fact: earlier today I thought this was the case. I clicked to check who else had upvoted a post and I only saw boomzilla's avatar.
Turns out I was the single upvoter and for a moment I was trolling myself.

I think @Ben-L should of changed all the avatars too. It would have being the funniest possible universe then. When I first saw this I honestly thought boomzilla had lost the plot.

Even after realizing what's happening, I read the following
@kazitor said in April Fools (Re: Fuck this place):
You also have to not be @ boomzilla nor @ boomzilla.
and just accepted that it said boomzilla twice there without even raising an eyebrow. Made total sense. Only later (Gąska's post) did I realize that it really didn't.

Swap everyone's avatar and name.

@xaade Redirect every profile page to Boomzilla's, too

Swap everyone's avatar and name."Swap" as in use boomzilla's avatar for everyone, to stay in line with the forum meme, or just use a random shuffle of avatars? The latter might be less funny but more evil.

No offense, man, but your grammar is really giving me headaches.
-
@topspin
ROT-(N/2) everyone's UserID for avatar purposes.
-
@izzion That one would probably be pretty boring due to lots of inactive accounts with letter avatars
-
@hungrier
Well, ok, but you could always filter out the inactive/spam accounts, create a hidden real-userid, and then ROT-(N/2) on that. Easy.

I suspect they of done it on purpose.

Easy.
That's a trigger word! (gawd, how many times do I hear on our company forum "that should be really easy - why haven't you done it yet?!?!?!?" sigh.)

@Tsaukpaetra
"off by two" is somewhat ...interesting..., considering I just had aselect * from openquery(linkedserver, 'select top 100 * from sometable') -- result: 101 rows
"Yo dawg, I herd you like openquery so we wrapped ..."
