I can't believe i fell for it ....

Postby guy07 » Tue Apr 01, 2008 1:23 pm

It was quite obvious that doki switched out avatars, I lol'd. But when I read that somebody had uploaded my video the youtube i wuz like: BASTARDS! So naturally i click the link only to find ... something that wasn't my video, so i spent about 10 minutes looking for the video on youtube ... it took me that long. I fail, epically.
Good job guys, you got me -_-;

Anybody else fall for it? :?

I knew it wasn't legit, but wasn't sure what the vid that popped would be. I had a strong suspicion it was going to be a rickroll.

Yeah, I was already braced for org shananigans. So, I did my usual check of the main page for ops and alerts and saw I had an alert. I laughed when I saw what it was. (And laughed even more when I saw what my "video" really was. *^_^*)

I knew something was up. Though I clicked anyway, since I always enjoy a rickroll. What can I say, it's a good song.

Heh, just recently - within the past few days - I've been dealing with people uploading my AMV to YouTube. I saw that message and my immediate thought was: Yeah, so what ELSE is new?

Then I ignored it completely, just like I ignore just about everything 'round these parts on April 1. :P Well, get a big kick out of it and then ignore it...lol

No, do not look at the funny avatars, Drift. No, that is NOT a legit message over there. That banner is not real, don't read it. No, stay AWAY from the top star scale... etc. ^_^

i think that they are all avatars people have uploaded in the past, and just because someone doesn't post in the forums doesn't mean they didn't upload an icon

The avatars are all from the 'org. I've seen the avatars of a few regular members pop up here and there.

I'm not sure how long doki spent implementing everything. All I know is I spent 2 hours making 100+ banners :P

Yes, I just figured this out. And mass downloaded them.

OK, I got a QC rickroll TODAY.

And I fell for it, because it is not April Fools Day any more. That's a dirty trick. I should have known anyway, who the hell would want to steal one of my vids ?

A few hours implementing everything, and a few hours to watch the fun. :P

A few...

Greggus1: You got me, org. Bravo. Awesome.

Copycat_Revolver: Dang, we got Rick-Rolled!

Knowname: you all got that toutube upload notice right?? please tell me you did and it's not just me <.<

Yues woman: I just received my first genuine Rick Roll. I am moved.

blink_sora: I don't usually fall into these things, I can't believe I failed haha XD

Amo-Chan: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! You'd think I'd learn to NOT click every link...

You bastard. You clever, clever bastard.
You got me. You really got me.
Best April Fools prank EVER! XDDDDD

[2008-04-01 01:08:49] <DeafJester> rickrolled by amv
[2008-04-01 01:08:51] <DeafJester> that is AWESOME

[2008-04-01 01:14:51] <godix> There are times I think doki just stays around the org to have fun on april 1st.

:uhoh:

BTW, thanks to godix for the idea to randomize avatars. Which was funny with all the cute ones he got.
Page views of login.php went up astronomically on April 1st, which I guess was people looking at all the banners. :)
