    I can't believe that many people actually tried to ban others. :/
    I knew it was an April Fools joke so I didn't bother. xD

    I knew from the moment I saw it that it was an april fools day prank, but in order to find how the prank worked, I told it to ban myself. I did not try to ban anyone else!


    EDIT I had not heard of the wall-Ceiling ordeal till now very strange idea though

    I wanted to know what would happen when I clicked it, but I didn't know who to ban, so I just put my own username in. And I did get banned. So it worked :slight_smile:

    It didn't log anything like that. The username would change to the members before it was processed and they were banned, so any such logs would just tell you the same as what that list says, even if they did type in another username.

    Haha such great pranks...I was suspicious about the ban thing right from the beginning, but eh, I'm dumb so I did it under helen's encouragement. I should've known she was exactly the sort of person to laugh at something like that. (Helen I'm going to get my revenge one day I swear)

    You mean like a forum I used to visit that for April Fools made EVERYONE a Moderator for the day?

    Trust me, by the end of the day, those boards were TRASHED! :lol::lol:

    I knew the ban thing seemed too good to be true... so I didn't touch it, cause I didn't want to know what would happen (eg: public humiliation) :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:


    Also most England users probably didn't notice the "Big brother is watching" banner because they are so used to giving up their privacy.

    After seeing Gizmodo being a mess, and here being a mess, I basically stopped using the internet yesterday.

    Well, I figured with my luck, if I put someone's name, that would happen, so I left it blank...But I still got banninated.
