Upside Down Avatars, Huge Point Scores, Crazy Ranks

[gio10469 24]

Haha what an epic april fools joke...I almost fell back in my chair when I saw that I had 300,000+ points...

[packersfan 666]

I was like what is going on and then remembered it was April's Fools...com'on Google changed their name to Topeka and vice versa...haha. Do these points all have goofy rank names? Or are these the real ranks if someone would SOMEDAY get to these astronomical numbers?

[Unmannedperson 1]

So ever since the point thing was put in place, I had slowly worked my way up to 72 points (mostly from CJ's, since I rarely visit the forums.

However, when I logged in just now, I had 3xx,xxx points (x's = I don't recall the exact number). When I refreshed the page, it was 7xx,xxx. Then on my way to the forum it went down to 4xx,xxx and 1xx,xxx before returning up to where it is now, 472,248.

What's going on???

 

[Jeiman2008 21]

It took me a few minutes to realize what was going on... I was thinking "How in the world did I get the rank "Borg"!? 50,000+ posts... umm.. oh...

It's an April Fools prank   Good one guys!

[CTMandR 9]

hahaha! I refreshed the page and my kitty avatar was upside down, it was the strangest thing ever!

[Deathcat001 8]

It took a while for me to notice. Then i remebered that april fools was yesterday.  

[simmaster07 1,221]

My avatar was already upside down when dirk flipped it right-side up

[SounderBruce 173]

I have 9 million points and my rank is "Ursa".

[simmaster07 1,221]

Lighten up, it's part of dirk's yearly April Fools' traditions

[Unmannedperson 1]

aaah. Wow, I feel like a real newbie....

[SimHoTToDDy 2,939]

I have been floating around 20,000,000 to 60,000,00 points. I hope you don't think I'm compensating for  something

[wakkaolaf53 0]

Wow, very funny, i got 300.00 points

[Simbourgeois 139]

I feel really important with my 3 million+ points! Is this a sign of a fool? No way, I'm not a fool! I have 3 million + points!!!

Laughingly yours,

This is crazy. And I've yet to see my points break 2 mil. Need to be posting this to see what my posts, etc. My avitar looks... wierd ...upsidedown (or downsideup )

edit: also, it would appear I've grown apx 20 years younger.

[memedoug85 36]

I didnt even look at my points. I thought it was the avatar thing for april fools.... is it both?

[TekindusT 3,809]

[Paramore22 3]

I noticed this when I logged in. My profile picture is upside down and it says I have more than 500,000 points when I only had 88 points the last time I was on....WTF?

[simmaster07 1,221]

Happy April Fools' Day!

[Kevin 101]

Since we had a ton of threads discussing the same thing, I went ahead and merged them into this one. Hope everyone's day of pranks is going well

If you feel like flipping avatars in Chat (which doesn't work ), log into chat, replace the entire address bar with the following, and hit enter:

Chrome:

javascript:var css = document.createElement('style'); css.setAttribute('type', 'text/css'); css.innerHTML = '.AV img, #UL img, .avatar { -webkit-transform: rotate(180deg); -moz-transform: rotate(180deg); filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=2); }'; document.body.appendChild(css);quote>

Firefox:

javascript:Document.body.contentEditable='true'; document.designMode='on'; void 0; var css = document.createElement('style'); css.setAttribute('type', 'text/css'); css.innerHTML = '.AV img, #UL img, .avatar { -webkit-transform: rotate(180deg); -moz-transform: rotate(180deg); filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=2); }'; document.body.appendChild(css); document.body.contentEditable='false'; document.designMode='off'; void 1;quote>

Now the fun can continue!

Rtas is the first name of the character depicted in my avatar.  Most Halo fans better know him as "Half Jaw."

 oh, and why do they have Star Trek species for some rankings?  How many are there in all!?  I've seen at least 60.

I don't like "Borg" as a rank.  But, it could've been worse.  Some folks could have had the rank of "Wraith".

[Cleaner475 150]

Its very funny but I prefer the joke where Dirk put the announcement up that EA was taking over simtropolis - that was immense

[Vahr 343]
