    April fools, what are you going to pull on your members?

    I need some ideas

    I run a cycling website, and most of the members are anti-over large SUV... So im thinking about adding a bunch of Ford SUV add's on the forums

    Another idea, is to make an aski style set, due to bandwidth costs...

    What are you going to do?!

    hehe. Careful with that one... they might actually like it and you'll be stuck with it.

    I'm too scared to do anything. People take things way too seriously these days.

      well, I had plans to hide all the forums so that there was nothing there when they logged on, but since I've had too many troubles w/ moving my board to a new server, I dunno if I'll have my board come April Fools....

        Idea in development

        I am going to 'rumour' April fools and we will develop in the meantime a nice 'joke'. It will involve a newsletter with special info :> which exact joke, is still not sure But yeah, we are planning on pulling one.

          Remove the part about <!-- auto name hack --> for best effect.

              Here's what you do: put up a fake Internal Server error page, and edit your header and footer, so your forum is still visible, but using CSS's opacity, they're at something like 10% visibility.

                      If you're reffering to the Auto name hack, then yes it does

                          I have been thinking about this.

                          As we are getting quite busy recently i am gonna make an announcement saying that people will only be allowed to post 100 words a day on the forums, anymore and it will not be submitted lol.. due to bandwidth costs.

                          i may use that autoname hack lol
