    You gigantic, fucking moron.




    Practice


    I don't know whether I have ever referenced my SAdmin status publicly, but I think everyone will know I can demod Cyber. So, he will have to "take care of me" pretty quickly to stop me from doing anything.

    Let me go check to see how to remove myself from the Forum Leaders Page. I have no clue...
    Then I would just remove my access title, and I would look demodded.

    Fuck you too, you incompetent Admin who thinks he knows every little thing and loves to boss everyone around since no one actually respects him.

    Some do know you're an SAdmin. I've mentioned it before I became a moderator I believe. Most likely in the Hangout.

    That sounds so sinister.

    Yes, but not yet.

    Your slam on me might be correct.

    I don't know where to go to edit the leader page...

    Not really. :\ I just remember that was one of the things Danny said to me during one of his anti-Sprung rants. I figured I'd use that also.

    I think Cookie knows. I think it was him and MasJ who cleaned it up before.

    Well. I'm not a SAdmin anymore

    Sorry, you are not allowed to edit administrator permissions.

    If you think you should have permission to access this page, you will need to edit the $config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] variable in the includes/config.php file.

    To allow the administrators to access this page, edit the variable to include the user IDs of those administrators should have access, separating each user ID with a comma, like this:

    $config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '1,25,57';

    To allow only a single administrator to access this page, simply add that user's ID with no commas, like this:

    $config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '1';
    I need to PM MasJ and get it fixed before we can do the April Fool.

    Well I'm OK with claiming I promoted Cyber. I can go off on some long tirade about how he's been a member here for so long and it was sickening to see all these newer members with more power than him, so I decided to take matters into my own hands.

    As a side note, it'd also be cool if someone made an alternate account on and posted a thread similar in style to the last April Fool's prank just to throw people off the scent of this one. The title could be written in script-kiddy speak and inside the thread it could just say something like "Yeah, we're not doing this again. "

    Sprung: Oh, I agree.. just, as I said:
    Then, I'm not sure if we actually have to make it public that you did it, but it's a nice back-up if someone brings it up


    Cyber deadmining you is pretty ace. We/You just have to work hard to make it work.

    Edit: Post slower, dammit.

    I was. I bet the upgrade screwed it up. I never need to edit Admin permissions, so I hadn't noticed until now.

    Were any of our "regulars" here when the last big April Fools was done? I don't know if they would know what we're talking about.

    I'm thinking of making some dummy accounts in a little bit and creating stupid threads in the wrong sections. Someone should help out, and Cyber should come in eventually to knock me down.

    Yeah, we probably should create the need for some moderating. Sort of justifying the promotions.


    I PM'd MasJ too. hopefully he'll get that fixed soon.

    Every so often, we used to get "pairs" of members from another forum who would come in and spam EP with shit that only they understood. We could do that

    Damn, you're right. I was thinking polo and that lot would remember but according to their profiles they didn't join until after the prank. OK - scrap that part of the idea. It's less funny when only about three people will understand the reference.

    I'd appreciate it. =<

    But, yeah, someone should make an april fools thread, jokingly or something. Hmm.. are we ending the joke on April first? We could always let it go an extra day.. then, we'd look stupid if people figured it out.

    I don't know you, you're not my friend.

    I'm full of good ideas..
