So who do I ask for the 24 comments for the 1's I got? :P

I think the joke is still going... I'm at 4.56 now. Common guys, jokes over, give us the real scores already!!! :p

Well you guys could have fixed my Out of Place a little better than that! ;)

Wow from 4.2 to 5.1 that's a jump I had to hold verry thight to my chair. :) Cool!!!
04/02/2004 12:21:59 AM · #83
Ha! Very, very funny! This is like, the third time I've been had today, and I'm really not all that gullible a person...!

There's a reason I chose the arts in school - I can't figure out all this voting/scoring/number mumbo jumbo even if I try -- but I don't care. All I know is my score went up uP UP!!!
5.2 turned into 6.4. Yippee!
Although... isn't April Fools supposed to be over at noon!?

No it makes sense. The hour of day adds another one to your score, so as every hour went by, another 1 was added. Did I clarify this or make it more confusing? ;)

Oh very clever, this is the only one that caught me out yesterday.
Spent all day in a sulk, and was going to take my bat and ball home and go back to stf at dpreview.com where everyone's a lot fairer.
Got over my lousy score in the orange challenge (too yellow apparently) but couldn't believe I was was getting such bad scores in the free study.
Anyway happier today now showing 5.74 which is closer to where I thought it would be. Amazing (or sad) how seriously we all take this voting lark.

Man, I knew there had to be something up, because I worked EXTRA hard on this shot. I could understand if it was under a 6, but it was hanging around the low fours as my WORST score, that's when I knew something was up. Thanks Drew and Langdon for solving the issue, I was on the verge of depression really (that shows the extent of my addiction here). I feel MUCH better now.

EXCELLENT!!!
Love the gag. I was sure it was a prank ( I think ). But never the less relieved at my score jump this morning.
04/02/2004 03:18:47 AM · #93
-_- Even with the jump back up, my score is steadily dropping. With every 2 votes it's going down .01... At least it's a slow drop...
04/02/2004 03:49:24 AM · #94
Damn good prank, I'm very impressed... esp since my score has jumped from my normal lows to a much more reasonable one ;o)
04/02/2004 07:04:31 AM · #95
A tip of the hat to Terry (ClubJuggle) and Drew for an excellent AFD prank. Brilliant! Out of all the things you could have done on DPC, adjusting the scores was definitely the best way to mess with people!
04/02/2004 07:46:26 AM · #96
OK, so when does the APRIL 2nd Day joke end. My score is still too low. ;-0

Very funny guys! I did not see this thread last night, so was confused all day about my score. Somehow, I figured it out last night in my sleep.

You know you're addicted when you dream of DPC!!!

Very, very good -- got many of us just where we're most vulnerable -- the photog ego.

Kirbic (Fritz) == your chart has me freaked out!
04/02/2004 07:58:55 AM · #98
And there was me telling my hubby at dinner about that bunch of conspiracy theorist on DPC that just can't deal with a bad score. I guess CJ and Drew got my hook line and sinker. LOL. Sorry everyone!

But I have to admit that I was disappointed with my MFS score, too, and that I like my score much better now. :) So, unfortunately, that means I'll be frantically checking it every minute now ... just like the good old times! ;)

I was surprised to see my score jump when I first logged on, then I read this thread. Your AFD joke is funny!!! Thanks Drew and ClubJuggle for a good laugh - great idea! :-)

three cheers for a great practical joke.

and to everyone who spend yesterday in a panicked, possibly suicidal state: CHILL! there's really no need to be graphing scores and constantly refreshing and stuff. you can't change anything anyway! spend that time taking photos (*gasp!!* what a concept!)

:)
