I agree, it was quite funny.

What you missed was this:
Dirk posed that the site was down because of a small fire or something, and sent us to a temporary board located here

Go check it out and read some of the posts. :sillylol:

Dirk said, that the server went bad and something caught on fire. Wasn't all that funny to me.

It was even better last time Dirk did it. Last time he forwarded us to a titanic message board, and the users got completely bent out of shape.

This one could have been hysterical of some of the tree huggers started responding.

But as usual, a couple ****** had to start trouble. I wish some people could grow up and let the rest of us have our fun.

It was funny. I think that it lasted a little too long (I had nothing to do here at work since this site was down

). As soon as the temp board popped up, I knew it was all a prank.

Man! I was at work, heh still am. I Have to say that I did fall for it. I was trying to post a message and say "where are the cars at?"
What else am I sopose to do here I work. Almost quit my job! All I do here is browse this message board. What a way to start off my day. First they change my shedule and dont let me know about it. Then they turn off the phone that I use to do tech support on. Well I found another desk and tried to go to thirdgen.org and saw that there was a server fire!!

What is going on here!!! Well the web site is back. Since it was just a joke so I guess Ill keep my job.

I believe it was last year or the year before, he made the board down. It said for good...

It sucked too, because I was going to show a guy what zaino could do, and I was going to show a link off the site. I was like, man I can't believe that site went down, it was doing so well. Didn't even think about the april fools.

lol that was a good trick. i actually thought the server was down and was goin to be for a while. and when i got to that hippie board it was totally funny as hell. i also liked the one about the guy just draining the oil in the grass or where ever.
