I say it was Chucky coming on as Becks. That was VERY funny.

Was it better than changing the to t e h?

I haven't seen too many other practical jokes on the board that I can think of... I know a former member was signing in as a woman, but that was more creepy than funny

Definately better-though the changing "Bush" to "Hitler" was kind of funny.

i got no patience for that whole men-posing-as-women on the internet thing. no patience whatsoever!

You know that girl who claimed to have been a new wave groupie in the '80s and to have slept with Simon Le Bon?


















That was me.

I thought it was pretty funny when everyone switched accounts on April Fools Day.

I don't think it was a prank, but it was funny when everything with a** in it turned to wazoo like..


embarwazooed

It's not necessarily a prank, but when you type a s s h o l e, you get "ashcroft".

I saw through the Becks thing.. but the Leggo My Eggo was good solely on the fact no one caught on.

Psht, I found out, and it's not really a bad prank, just.. you said you were leaving, but you never really did.

That's why I originally planned to go along with it, but people didn't want me to leave.

Then you shouldn't have deleted your account and then register under new ones.  You should have sat for a moment, realized that people didn't think this crap warranted you leaving and then said you were going to stay after all.

I was just gonna say that. It was done on April Fools Day...at first I had thought that Becks had actually returned after a looong hiatus...I thought wrong. :o

I partially agree with you, Sister Morphine, but nonetheless, Donnie thought that he would garner more respect coming back as his proper alias than some way to hide behind those people who were going to kick him into touch regardless of how he re-emerged.

He did at his worst point consider leaving, but he felt it would be better if he came back amongst friends. Yourself included, no doubt.

It wasn't a prank but it was still pretty funny....

Chrissy started a thread about getting your pimp name - so I did it and received:
Sugartastic T. Slim
I changed my profile name to reflect it and next thing you know, Chrissy, Andrea and I are watching regulars check out my profile on who's online!!! Even Philip Eno was checking me out!!! ;D ;D ;D

I might just go and do it again!!!

Heh heh, the infamous 'Superfreak' gets my vote. As much as the whole thing wound me up and the issues involved were very serious,  no other prank caused as much controversy or lasted as long (two years).

Just because nobody posted that they thought it was you doesn't mean they didn't think it.

There was a member named "Superfreak".. it was implied she was a lesbian woman. It turned out she was actually just RockandRollFan. It was especially confusing because "Superfreak" posted a picture, which I believe turned out to be RARF's ex-wife.

A guy that used to be here pretended he was a lesbian and it went on for about two years (though Superfreak wasn't around constantly). He would even go to the length where he would have conversations with himself as this woman. The problem with the prank was that the person involved had issues.

I have to say I never quite believed the lesbian angle. It always came across like a pervy bloke typing and not a female who fancied other females.So whilst I was surprised to find out it was R'n'R fan I wasn't surprised to find out it was a bloke posting.

I suppose in retrospect, it would mentally suit a man to pose as a lesbian because posing as a heterosexual woman could be too much of an act for him to play.

True, except he really did type like a dirty old man letching.  :P

No, he said it was his ex-wife, but it was proven NOT to be.....yet another pile of BS he heaped on everyone and got pretty low-down & nasty when he was called out on it ::)

i dunno about leggoeggo, but a bunch of people seemed to be savvy that you were masquerading as various different people. didn't you come back as darkskies somebody or other? everyone seemed to be onto that one. im not sure the eggo one got that much attention.

I didn't think Leggo Eggo was Donnie at first; the things that "Leggo Eggo" said didn't sound like Donny at all; to me they sounded more like Robocop (or someone related to him), due to the goofy grammar. ::) But robocop's posts are a lot worse than that.

Oh, you're just biased! :P

What about Harmonica? 

What? 

That wasn't just an annoying prank? :D ;D

*^  ;D

I've only seen two real pranks, both Chucky's April Fools (his 'the' trick and then this years 'Becks' thing), although admittedly I was the first to point out that it was in fact Chucky who had resurrected Becks. Eggo My Leggo and DarkRainySkies didn't have me fooled, nor would I consider them as pranks... more just mindless tricks played by members who have nothing better to do with their lives

I remember him explaining himself about it, and it was SOMEONE he knew.. ex-wife is just my guess.

I never paid much attention to Superfreak, because her posts were so sporadic and didn't tend to affect me much.. but in retrospect, seeing her posts, it was such a poor facade, really. ;D

You probably saw another prank, but thought it was a malfunction ;)  Only a couple people knew it was a prank.


I suppose I'll fess up now...

Right after nally created a thread announcing that he had achieved 50000 posts, I deleted my "One Word Song Titles" thread... so that the next time nally signed on, he wouldn't have 50000 anymore.  And his reaction was well worth it. :o

Jeff is always quick to notice stuff like that.  Recently, I deleted that rubixgirl thread I did.  Not even 2 minutes later, he had noticed it, and knew exactly which thread was removed :o

LOL yeah, when I deleted it, I didn't expect him to know which thread was deleted, especially since there were two "one word song titles" thread... but he figured it out within about 20 mins... I was kinda surprised. :D
