Okay, okay, so it's not a prank. Either that or the admins are kind of mean.

OTOH... I DO like the original series of Star Trek a whole lot - and even my own interest in Tolkien has waned a bit.

But... still...!!??
You mean, the mods weren't told about it and stuff?



Anyway, I'm going to go post in the Tolkien section now, 'cause you're cool Val.

Whoa! This is quite a change! I've been so used to seeing Treebeard all this time and now we have Kirk and his Crew. It may take a bit for me to get used to this

I am now thoroughlly convinced this is an elaborate prank by our hilarious admin team. I think Spock does own the board now, but he's just having a lark.

I think you're probably right. I just came today since I first heard about the switch-over; a bit disoriented at first, then I realised what was going on, and I had to let out a laugh. I am pretty thoroughly convinced.

The options and such are missing! Now I have to type out the code!

Well it just stands to reason that some changes would take place under new management. I didn't expect all the mods or admins to remain. Not even sure about my own fate really.

No, no, SGH, you simply must stay. We'd be lost without you.

I'm still unsure...it's been too long...very long...
I keep praying it's not for real.

The prank has now ended. The new announcement is up.
It was changed back at Midnight (12 am EST April 3).

To view Entmoot as the Star Trek board anytime use this link (tell me if this does no work - this may only work for admins)
http://entmoot.com/index.php?s=&styleid=11

And to go back to normal:

But BoP, there aren't so many people that were mooters during all the previous pranks. You just had experience. But you must admit, prolonging it until after april 1st was a nifty tactic.

Would've been better if someone *had* actually bought entmoot - that would've fooled even me.

Well, I am happy that the prank is over. I got duped, as for me it was late on April 2.

Now I realise what I like the most on Entmoot:

And it is its green and yellow, friendly for eyes, LAYOUT.
