SO, I saw a glimpse of a few things that took place and saw even more references to the chaos, but I am trying to understand what all took place (Yes, I'm writing a book).

This is what I have so far...

- Vanish challenge appeared, then disappeared, but actually didn't disappear but the submission deadline ended very early.

- Challenge scores were messed with using some April Fools algorithm that had been used before - no real damage - scores returned to normal at end of the day.

- DNMC comments were spread far and wide in the Free Study challenge

- "New" featured photos feature showed up on the home page displaying your own second worst challenge entry along with two entries from other people.

- A bloody horse head was placed in my bed this morning, scaring the bejesus out of me when I awoke. (I had a good laugh after my heart started beating again though).

Anything else?

One word summary, Armageddon. Does that help?

the super long decimal places that were up a while.

I liked the idea of the featured photo though! Just when I saw it I was like... oh my, what that one!

The DNMC thing was just some member playing his own joke. The horse head I believe was Leroy's doing. He's going to be a father did you hear?

I think you about got it all.

Oh, there was also the WPL 5 Anouncement , but I don't know as if that has been fully confirmed to be a 'prank' or not, but it seems to be the general speculation that it is.

Oh, and you like the horse head thing, huh?
hehehe, I got that one from a movie. I slipped one in all my favorite dpcer's beds. :-P

Ok, did you happen to get a photo of the horses head for the next Free Study.....
Just think what you could do with that as it is "Expert Editing".....

Yeah...My damn DNMC comment with vote of 1 is still there!!!

This frik'n April 1st stuff was funny for the first few hours yesterday, then it simply got out of hand.

Guess I'll go report the DNMC comment now.

The DNMC comment was from a member having his own April Fool's Day fun but we have been assured that he will make it right. Let's give him time to make it through all 561 photos. Maybe he's already changed the votes but hasn't had time yet to change the comments.

I think you mean Armalagdon.

Hmmm....not so funny. I one of my trips out with Roo Shooters, they had to kill one of our cows and cut it up in the middle of the paddock....in the dark. I stayed in the vehicle as I would rather not watch...but they knew my stomach wasn't good watching that type of stuff...and the mongrels decided to play a joke on me. So they cut the head off the cow and put it by my door...looking up at me. I didn't realise (too busy listening to music) and when they called me I got out of the vehicle and well....you can guess what I was confronted with. The moon was quite bright and made its eyes shine....not a pretty sight in the dark....yuk!!

I just wanna know why my score didn't change at the rollover! Someone's still April foolin' me, I'm sure of it!!! lol


04/02/2007 08:12:20 AM · #22
Whew! They got me with the "Featured Photos" section. What a relief to see it not there this morning!
04/02/2007 01:53:11 PM · #23
Also for a while yesterday I had more votes than views.... strange.. lol

You call yourself a photographer? (he-he) You have to be ready to shoot at any time--at a moment's notice...where is the photo of said head? LOL!!

I guess at night, it would have taken a long exposure to capture it--much longer than your stomach would probably care for. ;-)
