Nice April's Fool Coding, Skeptic Overlord!

Almost as good as CornHub.
Almost.

The hamsters are a nice touch.

Very nice. I was having flashbacks with the dancing animals.

Almost flipped and went to destroy churches, well played

If the backers are the NSA, FBI, etc., they couldn't seize their own assets.
It just wouldn't make sense...

This was the one I saw on my screen this morning.

Yup, the dancing rodents got me.

My first thought was,
"Holy crap ! Those ddos attack bastards finally broke through !"


Nice one guys. Nice one.

very good. i was momentarily in Spock mode (one eyebrow raised).

Hahaha omg Bill!

I came in ats, saw the hamsters, thought I was getting some bs hack or something. .

I didn't even think of April 1st, LOL!

On the contrary, April fools makes a good cover up for something truely nefarious

No accusation, only jest.

Good one ats

Well played Skeptic Overlord, well played!

No Hamserts but I had the same one you did, FBI job.

It was half five in the morning and only 2 sips of coffee in so found myself thinking "HOLY SHIZZLES!!!"

Who actually foung something out???

Then I thought, "hold on it was late March yesterday so maybe it's an April fool.

I figured it about 3 secs before the message came up so no flies on me.

But only just, too early for a prank like that for me.

We got Hamster Dance on this side.

First thing that ran through my mind was "at least whoever hacked ATS has a keen sense of internet humor".

Should have known it was none other than our wonderful Overlord.
CLASSIC!
YA GOT ME.

Hats off to you boss! I logged in this morning and saw that the FBI had seized the website. My paranoid mind went into overdrive. "Those mother....... Better not come to my house!" I actually said that out loud to myself. You got me!

So that is what that was all about.

I thought I had been busted. No more free music etc.

Not amused lol.

I once had a virus it said. Your PC has been 'impounded' by the police call this number. For a moment I thought it was maybe real.

Seriously? That same stupid crap that killed dis.c.lose...but at least you were smart enough to change it back...i dont know...thinking with all the subjects except the air/ect this is getting just as bad. Prove me wrong ATS

"Oh my word", I thought. "It finally happened. "

But after a few seconds - very long seconds, might I specify - the image informed me of this:

After which the image faded to allow me to log in.

Hehe, you got me, Skeptic Overlord. Nicely done sir!

I got the same image and as my jaw literally dropped open, thought something along the lines of 'Holy wow! Really?!?'

Then I immediately started thinking, "how am I going to find out what actually happened?" (meaning why specifically the Feds had seized the site), then -

- just as I was thinking of the one ATS member whose email address I have and deciding whether to contact him, the second image came up...

...so, yeah, I was 'got' pretty good!

Lucky - all I got was a bunch of furry misfits taking over the screen - Nearly had a heart-attack from laughing so hard. Well played, Anonymous coding person, well played!

It seriously snapped my knickers! I mean the internet is just so weird anymore...who could guess what mischief was up?
