You guys seriously suck at pranks. First off, locking it at page 999 would make it obvious.

Not if we got the admins on board, saying something like "the server can't handle page counts more than three digits". I was going to ask them to do that.

Second, how would page 999-1000 be a "Holiday" or "cataclysmic Event"? Doesn't it just show that we haven't had lives for the past year or so?
YES! That's the idea. To show people that care about RT and page 1000 that it doesn't matter.

First off, if this server can handle over 2000 individual Wiki articles, over 10,00 Wiki users, over 4000 forum users, over 9000 topics, and over 500,000 posts, I think it could handle a few more.

Second, Yes.

Third, Pranks are a form of art. Its a step above trolling. You have to have all aspects of the prank figured out, and everyone involved has to go along with it, hold their mouths, and say only what has to be said when needed. The makings of a prank within a public thread is just the largest way to blow your cover. You have to spread the idea through PMs and MSN and junk.

Y'know, PWNDay was plotted out through the IRC with a bunch of people chatting... :P

Not saying that it was the right way to go about doing it, but...

Nobody uses IRC, so it would be the perfect medium. Or even gabbly, maybe...

It was indeed done on Gabbly. Seethroo and Teff, and I think like two other people were there. The only ones who knew when it was executed were me, the mods, and a select few. Now THAT was a flawless prank.

Oh yeah it was. It was great. Too bad noone knows how to make a perfect prank anymore.

To be completely honest, I have no idea what's going on. Not reading RT + RL stuff = confusion and not caring enough to figure it all out.

PWNDAY:
Celebrated On: Teff's Forumday, August 31st
Started By: The Experimental Film
Also Known As: The Day in Which the Forum Was PWN'd
First Celebrated On: August 31st, 2006
Description: On August 30th, Teff triple-posted in a Getting to Know You topic, causing AgentSeethroo to "ban" him. This was met with anger by most of the Forum populace, and it resulted in pages upon pages of discussion. Of course, many of the users were in on the plan, as it was discussed openly in the IRC chat channel. However, many of them weren't, and were tricked into believing that Teff was actually banned. On exactly 12:00 AM Teff-Time, he reveiled that it was all a trick.
Other: This was really funny.

Moving on from that subject, though... Forum opinions, people!

EDIT: Heh, I just discovered a typo in there. I have to fix that later...

I have a gooood feeling about this. Unfortunately I can't think of s topic worthy of an entire thread, but encouraging discussion in the threads we have is always good too.

Why don't you make a topic about whatever is on your mind? Make a forum game, make a R&P thread, or just post in existing threads.

Now, where would that go? I think the main purpose of RT was to post random, spur of the moment things, discuss the topic for a while, then move to something else random. Keeps you on your toes, y'know?

It is, but people confused the purpose of RT, and thought it was a Blog or something. In RT, we don't care about you Cat mittens, your Skin Cancer, or what you had for dinner, all that crap goes elsewhere.

Good point. I also just realized that it would be cool to have a user toggle to block images over a certain size / dimension. That would keep the "hey look guise i can copy off 4chan lol" guys from annoying anyone that didn't want it.
Not that I am one or anything.

I was thinking that images over a certain dimension (say, 600x600) would turn into a thumbnail. IGN has a similar system, albeit different board software.

Temple of Dagon is PHPBB2, and their images scale down to fit the window if they are too big, I could ask them what they are using, but they use a custom theme specifically designed for them...

Jesus christ guys I'm still #10 in post count. I've only made like 20 Funk posts this year. I thought you people's lives were about about breaching the top ten or something like that.

That's exactly what I meant. I can't think of anything that either A) doesn't have a thread already or B) isn't irrelevant crap.
However, I can already see activity leaking back into other threads.

Jesty actually let it slip on Gabbly but nobody caught it and I didn't really get what you guys were saying anyways because it was like three messages a second.
