    I was thinking maybe we should start something that resembles an invasion of n00bs. We could all make 2 or 3 new accounts, and act all stupid and post stuff like "This looks like a good site to hack", or THIS SIGHT SUCKZORZ or something. If we get about 10 fake account between us, people will wonder what the hell is going on.

    This would bolster the need for staff promotions to deal with the invasion.

    Let me know if we're trolling. =D I could always enlist my irc channel too.. I think.. then, the lot of you might not want that.

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

    I'm full of good ideas..

    I tried making a dummy account. It's activated, but for some reason when I go to log in, it keeps saying 'Your account has already been activated so please try logging in.'

    That'd work, but if we're going to do the n00b thing in a serious fashion we should probably avoid references to hacking. As rare as they are nowadays, you just know some old members will magically return and ruin the prank by explaining the last one to our bemused regulars.

    Good call. It would have to look like just a bunch of noob spammers wanting to start trouble, so the general members think we need these staff promotions.
