So for April Fools 2008 we changed the names of over 100 regular members of inthe00s.  We started with the karmalog and picked some people who weren't on the log as well.  Red Ant and Tam did the majority of work on this, I merely picked some names and pretended to act dumb during the "hack" of the site.  Red Ant started around the time Australia wakes up, since people would generally expect us to start when it became the first in America instead.  Advance knowledge was limited to the lead mods and notable topic moderators.

Red Ant picked the names in red
Tam picked the ones in blue
ChuckyG picked the ones in orange
I believe Cat picked some (she knew too!)

There are some names missing, mostly the parody authors from amIright that hadn't made the karma list.  Red Ant did those, and will have to list them out here since I don't have a record of that.

Hope everyone had fun and wasn't too freaked out.  Karma smites to all the mods for such deviousness, I promise nothing this intense next year.

It was fun, thanks for this memorable day.

Nooooo, don't promise that! :(

Do something worse :D

Yeah, I've got some ideas that would be delicious, although I don't know if they're feasible.

Last night I said I had a feeling it may be a prank, but you guys did too good a job on this one & pulled off the best April Fools prank.  well done Chucky and Mods and karma coming atcha'  8)

I love it. ;D

Doc Brown - Grape Nehi

Incidentally there was question about what this one meant last night. Dr. Brown's is a line of soda, older than Coca Cola.  Nehi is a pretty old ssoda company as well, and Grape was Radar's drink of choice on M*A*S*H.  I decided against an obvious Back to the Future change.

Red Ant did those, and will have to list them out here since I don't have a record of that.


Here they are:

Jeff Reuben - Reuben Sandwich, Extra Pickles
Stu McArthur - Stu, Get Off Her!
Kristof Robertson - Pissed Off "Lorena" Bobbitson
agrimorphee - amphigory
Mikey Squirrel - Nike Girl
Invisible Boy - Transparent Girl
belowaveragedave - above mediocre davinia
Jack Wilson - Local Celebrity
k1chyd - I hear the secrets that you keep...
Max Power - Mack's Hour
the_conqueror_of_parodies - Atilla The Hun of Writing

and the craziest name anyone got went to...


Matthias - Matt the Hat Rack, Fat Jack, Frat Back Of The Rat Pack

I also made McDonald "Burger King", Dude111 to "D00D!!!" and a few others. Most anyone who was on last night also got a name change.

Next year will be a much simpler gag: this one was super time consuming (and I'm still not done changing names back) but well worth it.

Here they are:


k1chyd - I hear the secrets that you keep...

When I was here last night I was more or less coming around to the idea that it was a mod April Fool until I spotted this one.  It sounded so sinister to me!

Anyway thank you for keeping me up way too late last night and giving me a crap nights sleep into the bargain for worrying what was happening and also picturing the mods all having a good giggle behind our backs.

Peter Andersson's old nickname is k1chyd, which is "know one can hear you dream". His name was changed to the opening refrain from the Romantics' "Talking In Your Sleep". It is kind of a creepy song...

We hope you get a good night's sleep tonight.

Ant

I only got here in the aftermath but this was simply brilliant. It looks like you guys had so much work you should keep it until tomorrow the least. I loved Tammy pretending to be pissed off at the "hacker" and the Mary character should come back some day ;D

I like that you dug a little deep on that one...

sorry tam but wish you'd dug deeper for me  ;)  All's good tho cuz I laughed out loud for How Hard so all's forgiven.....

Don't forget

"Cat" became "Dog"

Thanks for coming up with a name for me Chucky.  Did you just happen to pick it or was somethingthat made you think of that?

I wonder if the Left-Hand name was just because it rhymed, or a Kurt Cobain reference(Kurt played guitar left handed).

;) :D ;D ;) :D ;D

just a play on words... card as in "you're such a card", wild/stable.  most of the ones I picked were a play on words

It was the latter Kiddo!
I had no idea how you said 'chan', myself - it sounds like hand, so I went back through posts of yours to find something even remotely linkable... :-\\

Q - Girl, I struggled with yours because everything I came up with was overly obvious, so I sat here and instead tried playing on your handle. Luckily, I came up with nosenuggets, because prior to that I had snotbubbles! ;D ;D ;D

Glad I made you laugh for How Hard as well! That was a no brainer for sure! What else could I have possibly called him? ;)

oOo and karma back as soon as my 24 hours runs out! 8)

I had this avatar up for a short amount of time yesterday and someone said stablejoke was stablejoke *he he*.  I switched back to a picture of me so I could be identified by my avatar and posted to made sure everyone knew it was me.

nally's name change was one of the easier, more obvious ones. Glad you liked it though.

And kudos to Jeff for taking it so well, too.  :)

What you should have done is switched Doc Brown and Marty McFly's names so each one was the other ;D

Is cool. ;)

It can be said two ways, just like my real name(Stephen).

Chan can rhyme with word "hand" and it can also rhyme with the word "on".

Those were the only two I could think of when seeing my 4/01 username, either a rhyme or Nirvana/Kurt Cobain reference.

I liked that one a tiny bit  (?)    :-\\  ......... make that a LOT !  ;D





Given that NALLY once pulled me up for capitalizing his username ......... oh drat ... I seem to have done it again  :-

I'll sleep well tonight.

Keep up the good work, Mike! (and Nally!).

:)






My name is Jeffrey...so you may call me Jeff for short. My screenname does not begin with a capital letter.



'Jeffrey'? I would never have guessed. I thought all this was just a joke ...
nally
My real name is Jeffrey.
Website Editors
Opus

so you may call me Jeff

Wow! That's cool!  I am so honoured!  8)  Thanks Nally! Oops .. I meant nally!  :D





Seriously. It's been my name for the past 27 years.


I would never have guessed. I thought all this was just a joke ...

Yes ... well  ::) ... maybe I needed to add this emoticon to the end .. ->  ;) to convey the ironic sense of humour?


I would never have guessed. I thought all this was just a joke ...  ;)

^ Yes .. that is more clear cut!

Man, I feel left out. And it would of been so easy...gumbypiz to something like pokeymon  ::)

Nooooo, don't promise that! :(

Do something worse :D
Yes,


BAN everyone for 24 hours instead.  :D

NOBODY else knew about this except Chucky and the mods?  I keep getting hints...like Alan apologizing to Mike for the practical joke because he and snoz had been in on it for a long time, and Ant egged on the rest.

At least everyone 'fess up! 


Then I can laugh.


If it's just made by Chucky and the mods, good job.  :)

I thought this was a good joke,thanks again. ;D

It was revealed just after midnite CST that it was us, but we asked in the thread that everyone who was online that now knew to keep the joke going. ;)

Thank you Tam. :)

Sorry man. I knew we'd miss a few regular posters. I wanted to make QueenAmenRa into KingRamenNoodles, but I forgot to do it. saver and GWBush2004 also escaped this year's name changes.

We'll make ya a Pokeman next year.  :D

Snotbubbles HA!  ;D


no problem.... here's the thing.  I have been using Snozberries for years because Willy Wonka is one of those movies from my childhood that would never go away. Everytime I watched it was struck by that scene...

snozberries? whoever heard of a ..... 

Gene Widler would follow it with "We are the music makers; and we are the dreamers of dreams."  Because this line defines me so well I adopted snozberries b/c I can never say it without reciting the quote...

I had the name for 10 years and never thought about it but then while writing a paper on the film I came across something that said snozberries was a reference to boogers. I was like NO WAY.... guess if I'd thought about it I would have figured it out myself earlier but I was oblivious to the whole thing....so I choose to focus on the positive that the name brings me...not the boogers  ;) 

Plus lickable wallpaper that tastes like boogers?  8-P  and who's boogers are they?  I mean eating your own is one thing but tasting someone else's?  THAT'S JUST WRONG!!!

;D


no hard feelings here tho...

Nah - just Chucky and the mods.
