Why were the forums closed?

Hi everyone, since Tim wont do it, ill do it :P

Short Answer: April's Fool.

Long Answer: The forums were closed and the moderators were demoted because of a joke/prank done as an april's fool day joke.

Everything is back to normal except the new Shoutbox in the forum index, check it out.

Welcome back everybody!!!!!! :D

PS: For some reason you guys cant post yet, dont worry, you will be able to soon.

Worst.Joke.Ever.

#270584

That was a very mean joke to play on us happless aquians :) .

#270585

Forums were not just closed because of April Fools, but because some member here at Aqua-Soft posted some disgusting pictures on the forum. I'll let him ruin it for you all so I killed the forums. I am pretty sure I know who it was, but if anyone else knows anything about it please let me know, then the forums will be unlocked.

Short Answer: April's Fool.

It's April Fools, not April's Fool.

Also, I kind of liked the forums being closed...some decompression time would have been nice :P.

P.S: COLORS ARE BACK! YEAH!!!

So you made an april fools that involved demoting all moderators - then someone spams the forum and no ex-mods can do anything about it because they have no privellages?

Now we can't use the forum until someone owns up?

Just wanted to make sure I'm understanding this correctly and confirm that it is April 2nd ?

ROFL!

Well, part 1 of the joke - Demoting the moderators.

then someone took advantage of the fact that the boards were modless and spammed. So Tim closed it.

#270590

So we now have new Mods? But if we don't and someone owns up - doesn't that mean that the forum still wont open?

Maybe I'm missing the logic in this masterplan.....

I was thinking that it was you. Seriously. Just sort of the renegade Timmeh goin' on the loose. Good joke though, until it got out of hand.

If this is really the reason that the forums were closed....................(which I believe you 100% Seph).....well let's just say that we are all big time GEEKS (oh well)!!!

Nate Dogg :P

#270695

But I dont understand...honestly everytime something goes bad here they get fully closed up, so we can't even read them...

Why not just lock all forums, its a rather big resource that has topics linked from alot of places.

#270705

It is incrediable so much power one single **** can have - post some nudity and A-S is shut down immedately. I wonder when Aqua-Soft is going to close again. :slant:

#270722

im gonna guess no latter then tuesday :P

honastly though, u dont see a problem with posting porn?

1. its an site dedicated to emulation osx

2. there are kiddies that come here. infact i bet more than half of the active members are under 18.

oh and if your wondering why timman has so much power, its becuase this is HIS site :P

#270756

i think locking the forums is a better idea. not being able to read posts is very irratating to me. just delete the stupid pics and lock the forums. it's a lot better that way. man did i miss this forum!

#270768

It just happened to be April Fools, thats why you kids can't take things so seriously, GO OUT SIDE!
