this month we had 2 down times:
- first time we got hacked by a script kiddie, who fortunately did not delete anything (well, almost...) I had to turn off the forums to find out what the problem was.
- second time, the (linux/debian) OS completely crashed on us, the server would not reboot at all. I had to backup all the files, format the hard drive and reinstall the OS and configure the system again, in less than 12 hours

Salamantis: yep.

And yeah a lot of people did indeed fall for it. Even the haters (yes Urza if you read this, this is for you

)
Even the long time members: Kivan, Hunter, ...

Whether you'd like to say you "got me" or not is up to you. I just stated MY thoughts in any reply I made regarding it all.

well pretty good timing for your april fools then

Never got me, it was too coincidental. And I have a stern belief to ignore everything on the internet till the next day. This year you guys did a good job, it was believable and not at the same time (I lol'd at the gamespot logo). Also helped weed out all the whiners.

Good job GBATemp staff - This is why I love this site.

P.S.: I'm eagerly waiting for next year now.

Ok, ok, second best only to the Zelda Movie trailer. But what I want to know is where is my WARNING BLUE LANGUAGE

R4 update

(Just checking to see if swearing was back)

 

[Twiffles]

See, mods "quitting" was a way for them to assume these CNET people without difficulty. >_>

 

[Julian017]

I knew it

 

[silent sniper]

hah. fooled me.

 

[laminaatplaat]

[GameDragon]

Soo... how many of us actually fell for this April fools?
I admit, it was pretty funny and well thought out

.

...But imagine if GBATemp REALLY was bought by CNet...

Actually, that just came out of it. The quittings were always planned, the whole new mods thing just spun out of that.

 

[spotanjo3]

I dont have a problem this time. Now april fool day didnt fool me anymore. Not this year. I am pay attention now, haha. I won.

 

[SavageWaffle]

Im pretty sure GBATemp lost over 400 regular members about this. I mean really.

 

[spectral]

A nice joke but far far too obvious. Do one in July or something, that'll get 'em.
