I second this.UnableToThinkOfName said:-snip-
What the hell happened to this thread?
Also second this, if you take a closer look, all the people that were banned had a post count over 15000 (or something like this).reg42 said:-snip-

Especially not Kuliani.

FuburtMod Edit: You have waaaaaaay too high of a post count to be posting in a Zynga thread. Permabanned -Kuliani
HubilubMod Edit: Do you think that because of your GIGANTIC post count that you can do my job for me? DO YOU?!?!?!?!!?! WRONG. Sigh..... Ok, after calming down, I've determined that it's nice to have people helping new users out. But, I never got a PM about locking the topic. NEVER. Do not lie to newer users when you promise to help them. Also, turns out Furburt means "furry policy advocate/lobbyist" in the Urban Dictionary. Eww. Permabanned. -Kuliani
NeonbobMod Edit: I've never liked your name. And that avatar just gave Spinwhiz a seizure. OH, AND HEY EVERYBODY, THAT LINK IS A RICKROLL. If it wasn't for the fact that Spinwhiz's seizure broke his chair, which I've always hated, I would have deleted all your posts. Permabanned. -Kuliani
Really? You're going to sit there and say that all the bans which happened to happen on April Fools with really funny reasons are totally serious?Mod Edit: Do NOT quote yourself on our forums. It slows down the entire site! All those times when the site was down during March Mayhem? YOUR FAULT BECAUSE YOU QUOTED YOURSELF. You can take your whales and *BEEEEEEEEEP* up your *BEEEEEP*. Permabanned. -Kuliani

To be honest, I'm a tad skeptical of this being real, myself. Kuliani said [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.184913-April-Fools#5566653] they were serious, and that they were plotting something (presumably against the forums) in real life.BlueInkAlchemist said:Yes.

Two things strike me as odd, though: They all had incredibly high post counts/were very well known. Not only that, I know that Commi, as well as Neonbob love these forums to death. It's a little hard to sell me on the fact that they were plotting something against it.
[sub]If it was against these forums at all, I have no idea.[/sub]
I'm just throwing in my two cents, and I certainly won't disregard any of your sides as being incorrect, especially when I have just about no idea what's going on as well. But there is a reason to be skeptical of this whole thing, would you not agree?
Maybe Kuliani pm'ed them ahead of time and asked them to take part in what I would consider to be one of the greatest pranks in the history of this site, but then again, that's all just speculation.
I would like to hear your side, though. If you don't mind me asking?![]()

Who are the other seven? (This was probably already asked, sorry.)Nivag the Owl said:Obviously an April Fools joke. One of the eight kings of The Escapist would not genuinely be banned so hastily![]()
Agreed. And who are he other seven kings? Are there any queens? Princes? Princesses? I must be in the Royal Family somewhere, right?Nivag the Owl said:Obviously an April Fools joke. One of the eight kings of The Escapist would not genuinely be banned so hastily![]()
Sorry to disagree with you there Hazy, well actually i'm not going to disagree i'm just going to give some stories in how people act on the net.Hazy said:Not only that, I know that Commi, as well as Neonbob love these forums to death.

You say "Unless" like your unsure of Furburts resurection Jesus style over this coming easter weekend.Le Tueur said:Unless he returns and brings with him all the demons of hell to exact his firey revenge aginst the mods.ColdStorage said:Risk what exactly? there is no risk involved in banning a member.Le Tueur said:Banning Furburt is the same as dividing by zero, the mods would never risk it.
For some reason I believed it was real until Lambi alerted me to what day it is.reg42 said:about 8 people have been banned, and all it takes is one read of the mod edit to see that it's all a joke.lacktheknack said:Weird...

First off take a look at your calendar. Than think about why he was banned and than look at who else was banned now look back at your calendar and make the connection if not I'll help you.danpascooch said:I have seen Furburt around the Escapist for quite a while, he has a massive post count, and I really like his posts, so it really sucked when I saw this:
Is this seriously a permaban? He said "IF YOU LIKE I'll do it for you." and the guy never asked him to or got back to him, seriously, what did he even do wrong? Is this a joke, because it kind of bothers me to think a Mod could jump in all of the sudden and PERMANENTLY ban someone for a reason as flimsy and, quite frankly, stupid as this. I never saw Furburt promise anything, he said "IF YOU LIKE, I CAN do it" and never got a response.X L e G i T X:
Sorry about that Furburt. Any way for me to end the topic?
You could PM a mod and ask them to lock the topic. If you like, I'll do it for you.
Also, it's always good to use the 'quote' function. When you do that, the person you quote gets a message. No worries though, you're new, it happens to us all.

User was banned for this post.(Permanent)
Yeah if they were plotting something IRL, whats to stop them carrying it out, not being able to post certainly isn't a deterrent to real life activity.Macgyvercas said:All I'll say is that if the people who were banned are plotting something, the next few days should be interesting...
I assume the mods can remove the evidence of said bans, so their slates remain clean? Or something?Freebird. said:My question is, what happens to Neonbob's and other user's clean slates. I suppose they have no need for them now but it still seems a little unfair.SnipErlite said:The mods can undo bans at will, presumably they'll come off tomorrow.p1ne said:Permabanning people seems a little harsh for an April Fool's joke. :x
Virgil wanted you banned till Tuesday I hear?, I think he's trying to tell you guys something,Furburt said:I'm back baby.Fool! Do you not know that posting sustains me?!ColdStorage said:Yeah if they were plotting something IRL, whats to stop them carrying it out, not being able to post certainly isn't a deterrent to real life activity.Macgyvercas said:All I'll say is that if the people who were banned are plotting something, the next few days should be interesting...
I nearly withered away during that day of not posting...
