Who did it?

[ydoaPs]

Who hacked ScienceForums.Net to make it so typographically challenged? I'm pointing my finger at Cap.

[YT2095]

what problem / challenge?

 

my typing is fine! and I notice nothing different?

[ParanoiA]

Yeah, what t.h.e. frak?

[ydoaPs]

ParanoiA, try a thread about G.L.O.B.A.L. W.A.R.M.I.N.G.

[Sayonara]

Sorry but that was so annoying I turned it off.

[Phi for All]

Sorry but that was so annoying I turned it off.

Thank ye for taking teh pity on us.

[Pangloss]

Dang I missed that. Anybody get a screen shot?

[iNow]

While it was somewhat of a pain in the ass, I have to concede that it was a damned clever idea.

 

ye teh June phools.

[Phi for All]

Substituting all instances of the word "scientist" with the word "theologian" was diabolical. Using the swear filters to make all those substitutions was pretty clever and easily fixable. And the Admins could rig it themselves and keep the rest of the Staff in the dark.

 

Rigging usernames was funny since they only showed up in quotes. The best was switching all instances of "global warming" with "omg ponies!"

 

Well done ye squiffy red-letter Aprilministrators!!

[ydoaPs]

I still think Cap'n.

[Phi for All]

I still think Cap'n.

No, Cap'n's mind wouldn't work that way. Anal types like us just cringe at misspellings.

 

This has blikey boy written all over it.

[blike]

At least no one got rickrolled. Seems like every site is doing it today, even youtube.

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

Blast it. I was having some fun, too. I wanted to see the aftermath of it... I went to bed after I turned it on

 

(Yes, it was me. I set it up without asking blike, even.)

 

Here's the complete list of switches:

"the" => "teh"

"physics" => "fizzics"

"chemicals" => "chemicalz"

"SFN" => "The Amazing WünderSite"

"Refsmmat" => "Refreshment"

"April" => "June"

"Google" => "FWSE"

"global warming" => "omg ponies!!!11!"

"Pangloss" => "Pnagless"

"blike" => "blikey boy"

"Cap'n" => "Cappy"

"iNow" => "iThen"

"ecoli" => "ebola",

"thedarkshade" => "thelightray"

"Phi for All" => "Pi for Some"

"strawman" => "thisisthelaststraw, man"

"deny" => "confirm"

"denier" => "advocate"

"school" => "torture chamber"

"dimension" => "dimmensinon"

"universe" => "that big thing that all the stuff is in, you know?"

"Republican" => "Democrat"

"Obama" => "Clinton"

"Hillary" => "Obama"

"scientist" => "theologian"

"yourdadonapogos" => "tick"

"Rakdos" => "Rack Those"

"you " => "ye "

"are " => "art "

"love" => "<3"

"vBulletin" => "vCowetin"

"administrator" => "God"

"pseudoscience" => "science"

 

We only hit about half of those, I think. I should have locked everyone else out of the admin panel...

 

Hasn't anybody caught the logo yet?

[ydoaPs]

Who played with the sigs?

[iNow]

Yeah, I saw the logo this morning after I noticed the jacked up text...

 

I have to admit, it was fun seeing "ye" and "art" all of the time. Instead of "you are." Nicely played. I wonder if any noobs got confused? I know some more veteran folks did.

[Daecon]

The snowman didn't even register. I looked at it a hundred times and didn't think it odd.

 

I art teh dumb.

[blike]

Cap'n actually got me with the logo. I saw it yesterday morning and though "well damn, no one's changed the christmas logo since...christmas".

[YT2095]

well it`s certainly a refreshing change Not to be implicated in something for once

[Phi for All]

I have to admit, it was fun seeing "ye" and "art" all of the time. Instead of "you are."

I liked that as well. Whenever I see "ye" the voice reading in my head switches to a pirate accent. Maybe we should have Cappy work up some more for Talk Like A Pirate Day this year.

[Pangloss]

Wait... I missed ponies?!
