I just wanted to congratulate the evil minds behind the jokes in WHT :stickout: it is amazing the amount of work you guys put into this and really show us that you want us dead!!! lol

After my heart started working after a few minutes of being paralized, I decided to fool my wife with it, when she saw WBpro everywhere and FBI involve, DOS Attacks etc, she started saying WHAT DID YOU DO!!!! lol she wanted to divorce me right there! HEHE it was awsome.

Thanks guys for the best April's fools jokes

BTW: who was the evil mastermind behind this?

Maybe for next april fools you can involve a large update of hostingtech since that never happens. Maybe include that you now have an editorial board and will have edtiors to scan the press releases before they go out?

:D

This is one of the best joke ever... but too bad I am too inactive here to even commit those "offences", so it was pretty obvious to me. ;)

Here's a good one... I thought someone broke into my account and was posting crap making me look bad...

so I did what any good net-citizen would do...

1) I changed my WHT password immediately!
2) I took about 2gb of screen captures to defend my case.

Now the problem....

I (of course) forgot my new password LOL

:banana:

Pretty cool jokes. Curious how you made the post use the member's username. The "best member" was my favorite ;).

Nice one, I wasn't sure exactly what was going on. My friend told me to hop on WHT so I di and thought he started some trash about me. After checking into it I noticed how many threads had "cyberdog sexually harasses", "cyberdog sold", "cyberdog gives free hosting" and knew something was up but thought maybe it was some auto thread generating script. I then noticed the [username] hacks avail for vB and phpBB and joined in on the fun :-)

Honestly iNET didn't do all of the work for this prank :) The moderators did it all, and I have to agree with most everyone else that it was pretty funny!

Gotta give credit where credit is due!

I need help. I really need help. Now I know.

Exactly, once I say the list I knew something was up but wasn't sure how the prank worked exactly at the time. Well at least [username] didn't see this ;-) He's always spamming pyramid schemes.

Got a good chuckle out of the change; seems the scheme gets more elaborate and more clever each year. Nice work for a good laugh! ;)
