We have less than a month until April first.  As the leadership of this site, we always do something to troll the rest of the forum on April Fools Day, and this year will be no different.  Start brainstorming ideas here.

For reference:
2010 - Blizz announced he was retiring.  MINDGAMES!  (he was actually serious, but nobody knew because he also went on vacation or something for a week or two)
2009 - Legend of Lexima game using Blizz-ABS.  I think I remember it ending in a rickroll or something.

It'll be hard to trump last year. Hmm... I'll be sure to keep it in the back of my mind and post if I have any brilliant ideas.

Chaos-Project shutting down?

Not due to CP, but for a more legit fake reason? XD

We should have all request forums redirect to one of those links that redirect to a google search. Each request board would search to its corresponding name.
"rmxp scripts"
"rmxp resources"
"rmxp event systems"
"rmxp tutorials"

I like G_G's Idea. but I can tell you from experience that that might be a bit difficult yo do.

we could pretend that we received a cease and desist order and even though it didn't have much weight we decided to shut down the site to avoid the trouble.
I no longer keep up with posts in the forum very well. If you have a question or comment, about my work, or in general I welcome PM's. if you make a post in one of my threads and I don't reply with in a day or two feel free to PM me and point it out to me.<br /><br />DropBox, the best free file syncing service there is.<br />

We could say due to RMPY and Zero Division, Enterbrain is trying to sue Chaos Project for copyright infringement and have us shut down.

Simple Machines Forums allows redirects instead of boards. I don't see it being too hard.

I could just take down the site for a whole day in that case. It would look REALLY serious. :D

We could fake someone's death... :shifty: or maybe only that they are in the hospital with a terminal disease...

I'd volunteer to be "terminally ill." We could say that the reason I was gone for so long was because I was actually in the hospital - I came back because they thought I was well enough to go home, but the sickness has now come back worse than ever.

Bahaha, I thought of a good one.

What if winkio used his newly acquired admin powers to usurp the site from Blizz and declare himself sole ruler of Chaos Project?

I don't know how I'd make that believable...  Well, actually, now that I think about it...

Say I de-admined Blizz, then plastered my avatar over all parts of the forum.  Would that work?

And you could change the theme to something ridiculous looking, and even propose changing the name of the site. You couldn't go too over the top, though, or it would be obvious that it's a joke. Still, I think it would be funny and fairly believable if pulled off correctly. At any rate, it's just an idea.

instead of actually de-admining Blizz (I don't think it's possible...), we could just have Blizz create a new account that day and say that I banned the old one, or something like that.

Yeah; be sure to update the banned accounts list to include him :P
To make things more believable, the mods could start spreading information about the two of you having disagreements on the moderator board.

One thing to keep in mind if we do go through with this is that we need to be able to put things back to normal without too much hassle; let's not do anything that would damage the website at all.

That idea is gold.

I have access to the database, I can make myself admin anytime again. In fact, I will take care of that myself. I will remove my status and put it back on when April 1st is over. I don't think ban is necessary, let's just do the de-admin thing. Start with the disagreement rumors somewhere during next week.
winkio, if you want, we can stage a small drama here and there. You know, just to make it more believable. :D I suggest we start doing it in the second half of March. Then we progressively get at each others' throats more and more often. xD

Lol, I will be so pissed when I realize that I have been de-admined. xD

You can also claim that the script and/or resource database was corrupted and has been lost.
I am done scripting for RMXP. I will likely not offer support for even my own scripts anymore, but feel free to ask on the forum, there are plenty of other talented scripters that can help you.
