Most of the Forum Titles was changed!!!! What's going on??? ub3r 03-31-2005, 11:50 PM /me watches the logic train speed on by Jeremy Johnstone 03-31-2005, 11:51 PM April Fool's Day... Weren't you here last year? theqase 03-31-2005, 11:51 PM Guys, Lay off... Hes A NOOB. Look at his post count. cywkevin 03-31-2005, 11:51 PM This is cracking me up but it's pretty damn inconvenient. DentHost 03-31-2005, 11:51 PM I think this is part of a April Fools prank... What do you think? NeoGen 03-31-2005, 11:51 PM 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 Frosty 03-31-2005, 11:53 PM It's april fools already? Oh wow... the year flew by so fast by damn it. Time is always slipping away from me. DediPlace 03-31-2005, 11:53 PM 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... Gavin Miller 03-31-2005, 11:54 PM Interesting...although I would like to access my PMs since Im trying to conduct business with a designer. joshuayip 03-31-2005, 11:54 PM Surely this is a joke.... but I am not sure played by who though. If it is the management, we are safe. If not, we are screwed .... Joshua aodat2 03-31-2005, 11:56 PM Web Choking Forum ??? Federated Server Forum ??? ClamSheller Hosting Forum ??? What the heck is all that about? Oh... Now I get it ! ! ! D'uh how pathetic of me! Playing a prank on us huh? Grrrr... I'll get you back WHT. Just you wait... I'll get even!!! DediPlace 03-31-2005, 11:57 PM April Fools day! :) If it is really a joke, I really don't know. ;) snJohn 03-31-2005, 11:58 PM :stickout: :roll2: Huminie 03-31-2005, 11:58 PM Not April Fools here yet...weird. Pheaton 03-31-2005, 11:59 PM I applaude who ever thought of the forum names. ;) probonic 04-01-2005, 12:00 AM And don't forget the 0 / 1 / 2 posts :stickout: They've outdone themselves this year :D EDIT: Ooooh hang on I have 4 posts - yet this is my first post since the "change".... interesting... fantasian 04-01-2005, 12:00 AM hmm everyone's post count is 0? ScionStatic(Stevo) 04-01-2005, 12:01 AM Its not even aprils fools day yet :rolleyes: But the post counts got me by suprise :stickout: net41 04-01-2005, 12:01 AM Hahah "Red Luge" This is an epic april fools day. Kudos WHT. MStar 04-01-2005, 12:01 AM I just noticed this. XD DediPlace 04-01-2005, 12:03 AM The Name Change is fine... but not the losing of pms... :( Not really funny for me. aaroncampbell 04-01-2005, 12:04 AM Just out of curiosity, when and why did this turn into the "Federated Server Forum" rather than dedicated server forum? NeoGen 04-01-2005, 12:04 AM Sure there seems to be a bug in VB system, that Mods are not aware of or some on else has hacked into VB of WHT... net41 04-01-2005, 12:06 AM It's the WHT Bad Boy Club Hacking Crew... You guys didn't know? probonic 04-01-2005, 12:06 AM Originally posted by DediPlace The Name Change is fine... but not the losing of pms... :( Not really funny for me. Losing of PMs? That's funny because I have a new PM and I can't get to it - just shows me an access denied message. I hope it isn't anything to do with april fools as it is a very important PM..... loopforever 04-01-2005, 12:06 AM Remember last year? A bunch of member names were changed ... I enjoyed that :). DediPlace 04-01-2005, 12:07 AM According to some, April Fools Day Joke!!! aaroncampbell 04-01-2005, 12:10 AM Good call...here it's only 9PM on 03/31 :rolleyes: DediPlace 04-01-2005, 12:10 AM Originally posted by probonic Losing of PMs? That's funny because I have a new PM and I can't get to it - just shows me an access denied message. I hope it isn't anything to do with april fools as it is a very important PM..... I think not losing of pms... just mere access to it coz of the zero posts count. gounder 04-01-2005, 12:12 AM Thought I was the only one seeing this FredTT 04-01-2005, 12:15 AM Why do you use WHT PM's to coduct business? I perfer e-mail. :-P probonic 04-01-2005, 12:18 AM Originally posted by HiyaCorp Why do you use WHT PM's to coduct business? I perfer e-mail. :-P Sometimes people do not choose to use PMs to conduct business, in my case someone has decided to contact me via a PM, and of course now I can't get to the damn thing :( It wasn't my choice for them to use a PM PrHosting 04-01-2005, 12:20 AM Haven't noticed this before...or has it always been like this...this forum heading is Web Choking Forum Choking?? Sure...some of us were choked with The Planet downtime today. probonic 04-01-2005, 12:21 AM There have been many threads about this now Isaac.Eiland-Hall 04-01-2005, 12:23 AM I really hope it's April Fool and not Rooted WHT... hehehe...

(Stephen) 04-01-2005, 12:33 AM aprils fools hasn't started here, they could draw this out over the next 30 hours or so if they wanted. croakingtoad 04-01-2005, 12:34 AM Yeah, I also like : RedHot Luge Tub Design and Content Dominion Hams Forum Electrical Discussion Running a Web Toasting Business Boasting Software and Control Panels Pinocle and Security Issues URS Forum ClamSheller Hosting Forum Web Choking Forum and last but not least...Federated Server Forum. croakingtoad 04-01-2005, 12:36 AM Looks like someone is having fun with the SQL server.

(Stephen) 04-01-2005, 12:45 AM At datacenters?! I don't think you will find many. Data centers, server hardware, bandwidth providers, and techniques for co-location purposes. So you colocate with the blonde at the server hardware filled, bandwidth starved house, full of co-habitation techniques? Dennis Nugent 04-01-2005, 12:46 AM URS forum? Clamshell forum... ahhh... the date f0urtyfive 04-01-2005, 12:50 AM Personally, I think they jumped the gun.

At least there's ventelation :) Justin 04-01-2005, 12:59 AM They are just in hidden status. 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. -Justin NE-Andy 04-01-2005, 01:07 AM rofl, everyone's post count is 0 xD HostingInsider 04-01-2005, 01:07 AM Was WHT hacked?

Remember, us US people aren't the only ones in the world . In many parts, it's been April 1 for hours!!! This year is kind of lame compared to last year's stunts, but we'll see , they probably have a few things up their collaborative sleeves :) PhilG 04-01-2005, 01:11 AM Hah, It must be april fools ;-) namelayer 04-01-2005, 01:13 AM lol...here wo go again........another merge Justin 04-01-2005, 01:13 AM /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 :) -Justin Justin 04-01-2005, 01:15 AM lol...here wo go again........another merge 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. -Justin JustinH 04-01-2005, 01:16 AM Sheesh... everyone whining about PMs and what not... maybe you shouldn't rely on WHT to run your business :). HostingInsider 04-01-2005, 01:18 AM I just finished reading the other threads about this, I'm just a little slow :) namelayer 04-01-2005, 01:19 AM Originally posted by jschurawlow 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 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! HostingInsider 04-01-2005, 01:24 AM What did they do last year? I wasn't around yet. JSpired 04-01-2005, 01:27 AM WHT, nice job on the forum titles!! Justin 04-01-2005, 01:29 AM 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. -Justin (Stephen) 04-01-2005, 01:30 AM if I remember, mostly spelling errors, like Web Hotsing Forum and various things like that. linux-tech 04-01-2005, 01:35 AM Originally posted by loopforever Remember last year? A bunch of member names were changed ... I enjoyed that :). Even better was the "takeover", that was humorous! Rman2003 04-01-2005, 01:55 AM 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. BigBison 04-01-2005, 02:00 AM Originally posted by linux-tech Remember, us US people aren't the only ones in the world .

Does anything other than the timezone the DC is in make sense? DentHost 04-01-2005, 02:15 AM 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. net41 04-01-2005, 02:36 AM Wonder if google will knock them for keyword misplacement, lol. tickedon 04-01-2005, 02:54 AM Pretty good April fools joke.

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.

Look at the names of the other forums. webair-gene 04-01-2005, 09:49 AM According to #WHT the website was hacked empresasdehosting 04-01-2005, 09:51 AM and the post numbers were restarted to 0... cosmotek 04-01-2005, 09:54 AM That's witty. I just hope the international community gets that it's a joke! webair-gene 04-01-2005, 10:00 AM This didn't happen today (April Fools Day) but rather yesterday evening, they say that they're working on figuring out who did this. IMeanWebHosting 04-01-2005, 10:02 AM ****, that would suck if it really was hacked will7 04-01-2005, 10:03 AM Really? It actually was hacked? Man, I thought it was an April Fools. That sucks... JustinSmall 04-01-2005, 10:06 AM I forgot about april fools! wht hacked... :( TrevorN 04-01-2005, 10:09 AM the only problem i have with it is i can't use my pm box.... other then that it's kinda funny linux-tech 04-01-2005, 10:12 AM 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 :) mperkel 04-01-2005, 10:12 AM Well - wonder if they have backups? IMeanWebHosting 04-01-2005, 10:13 AM I doubt it was hacked, probably just an april fools joke. It's annoying though, I can't access my PMs.... :bawling: rootsupport 04-01-2005, 10:16 AM 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 ???? xanthion 04-01-2005, 10:17 AM it's called april fools day THW-Dave 04-01-2005, 10:20 AM I wonder if Web Toasting could be a profitable niche?? rootsupport 04-01-2005, 10:21 AM LOL -- the most beautiFOOL, wonderFOOL and colourFOOL amongst all FOOLS...!!!

The good thing is that we have excellent people at iNet such as ProHacker that can fix these problems when need be. Kudos to iNet for such quick resolutions to hacking issues. IMeanWebHosting 04-01-2005, 12:10 PM Anybody notice that the admins are all gone too?

WHT hasn't been hacked. Every year on April Fool's Day, something is messed with. PMs are safe, as are your post counts. Everything will return to normal on the 2nd. :) NeoGen 04-01-2005, 01:33 PM have you checked VB site, they say its 1st April Virus that has affected the old VB versions! foress 04-01-2005, 01:53 PM Originally posted by Velostream Everything will return to normal on the 2nd. :) It's already the 2nd.:bawling: :bawling: peersignal 04-01-2005, 02:03 PM Originally posted by foress It's already the 2nd.:bawling: :bawling: I'm guessing once GMT hits 00:00, then it will return to normal.

Most people on this board are from North America (I think) fluxhost 04-01-2005, 04:15 PM I don't understand why everybody keeps asking if the forum is hacked.

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.
