Where No Man Has Gone Before-The Aftermath

Curubethion · 04-03-2006, 12:56 AM

So...I thought we could use a General Discussion thread to discuss the wonderful happenings of today and yesterday...

My first question is: who all was in on it besides Spock and bmilder? There had to have been admins, I'm sure...

***HOBBIT*** · 04-03-2006, 01:16 AM

Just the admins and mods. Although major props to Bombadillo who kept reminding me and encouraging me to get the admins to do a prank. He was not involved in the specifics of the prank though - but he knew that this was a prank, I'm sure.

SGH came up with much of the concept, but we all pitched in and came up with our own things to add. Eärniel made the Star Trek banner. HOBBIT(that's me) created the Entmoot Star Trek Board (as in I created the style/template.. the backgrounds, colors, etc). I created the new title/ranking system too (and did much of the board tweaking).

Of course thanks to bmilder for okaying this prank and making the initial announcements. And thanks to Spock for being such a great "new owner."

It was fun.

OMG it was a prank!?

I wonder how many people, like me, were fooled?

Lief Erikson · 04-03-2006, 01:23 AM

It was really good

. Well done, all participants!!!

You really took Spock's username and used it for all it was worth, didn't you?!!

I knew it was a prank, and played along as well. Where's my kudos?!

Actually, I just wanted to smack tristan.
*smacks him again
hahaha.

Modders and Admins, that was a good one.

mithrand1r · 04-03-2006, 09:54 AM

Very good prank.

I liked the new theme.

The "new" colors were easy on the eyes.

"Shore Leave" was a great title for gen. discussion.

helluva prank, gave me a shock when I logged on, I thought I had the wrong URL or something.

Yes, very good one. I was absolutely terrified. I know nothing about Star Trek. I mean, I have seen all the movies and know the main charaters, but other than that, no clue. So, good job mods, you had me fooled.
