I don't think so!

It seems that the new management doesn't know how to manage VB, hence they are doing all this.

Its irritating....

Dont they know english

oh yah.... April Fools Day... I really hope so! :)

and not that new management thing... ;)

And I think this is better.. but not the 0 posts... we lost the pm's and other functions because of this...

yup, exactly. They are all hiding sitting back watching us all speculate over whether this is really April fools or not now. Those of us that do fall for it well need to look at the date and think well if it is not april fools then why didn't it happen a day or two ago (when I saw the first white page for newreply which was an obvious sign something was being toyed with), no wht mods this one won't slip past most of us. :)
Happy April Fools days all you guys n' gals on WHT.

/me points at how everyone's titles are still the same, that and how our post counts are all at 0 (obviously being masked and actual post count is going as normal). Definitely a nice April Fools joke though. Great job WHT mods - as it appears a few have fallen for it. Also everyone notice how the mods are using hidden mode, no doubt enjoying the pointing and laughing to those who have fallen for the prank.

Happy April Fools day everyone :)

Hey David should we start taking bets on how many pages the new April Fools Day thread will be? 11 15 30, 100 maybe? I am betting gonna be at minium a dozen to two dozen several page long threads that get merged up into one nice read.

The Planet thread this morning was huge! I wonder if that one could be topped!

Maybe the whole outage at The Planet was another April Fool's prank!

That would be a damaging prank!

I would think we all certainly hope that was not the case no matter if we have servers there or not. (obviously I doubt anyone would think that a good april fools joke especially the tp management staff).

David, I would have to agree it is definitely going to be at least the 30 page mark, leaning towards close to 45-50 myself.

Personally I think they should have redirected to another smaller forum for a day. Sure they'd lose all the traffic, but would a day really kill them? Maybe put up a small notice such as "iNET Interactive has sold WHT to such and such, you will be redirected in 5 ... 4... 3 .. etc. etc."

It probably would have been a bit more believable.

Not to mention two-fold. They'd have us all over here having heart attacks for WHT being sold, and they'd have whoever else over there having heart attacks out of pure happiness for all the traffic, only to have it snatched away a day later.

Nice try none the less though iNET.

Haha, I'm sure this is just the beginning - I took screenshots and saved them to show later, to later find out that it was april fools. Thought I had some good pictures to show to WHT people, but then I would have just made myself look like a fool. Hah. Got me too.

I think that nobody plays with a business this way.
Like we see in WHT today.

There should be a hacker.

Time is Gold.

Lately I have lost a lot of time of my life playing with a Web Hoster that did not know the trade. People that offered services but did not deliver. They did not have the know-how so they blamed others for their incompetence. Blaming the WWW Network, ATT or the Local ISP.

So I don't like wasting more time. Reading foolish titles for Forums and so on.

It's still April 1st somewhere (ie: here), so you're pretty safe there. You'll see it go back to normal here sometime tonight, I'm sure :)

I find it rather humorous that people are still falling for this crap. I mean, it's done every year by the mods, and the number of responses like "WHT Hacked???" never, ever changes. Quite good :)

Hi All,

Today I was browsing WHT and what I see is all the posts of users seems to be 0 (ZERO) and also the TOPIC TITLES

For ex. check:

WHT > Web Choking Forum
WHT > Federated Server Forum
WHT > Dominion Hams Forum
WHT > Ruinning a Web Toasting Business .........

And many more you can check....

Any problems moderators ????

I'm guessing once GMT hits 00:00, then it will return to normal. Either that or GMT -5, or whichever the WHT server's default time zone is set to.

The Web is named "the Web" because it's like a spider web with everything interconnected. Have you ever breathed in the dust in a room full of cobwebs?

As we see in the above paragraph, the word "choke" already applies to web hosting. It applies for another reason as well. The Web is nearing capacity now, and it's getting close to the choking point. Webmasters and web hosts need to clean out old files and old sites that have been gathering cobwebs to make room for newer sites. My guess is that the mods were referring to the CNN article about this topic when they changed the name.

Good idea, mods -- it'll help remind people to get rid of sites and pages that aren't relevant any more.
