Well, with my tax appt. looming tomorrow, I just may have to sell off my reef and then I could start a "Old to the hobby" section.

Great thread! I hate being the public victim of a joke but it sure is fun to witness! Sorry Alex, someone had to take the bait.

Just suck it up and laugh already OP.

You got trolled by Reef Central.

 

[eyesinthedrk]

Take the questions like "how do i get rid of aiptasia?" and "what eats hair algae?" that like to show up 20 times a month, add to that people that dont get an april fools joke, and its no wonder WK's avatar looks so gumpy

i'll bet if people read up a little bit before they opened their mouths AND lightened up a bit his angry moe would be replaced with a quirky curley

One of the best things to do on here besides read the stickies, is to read through old posts. Lots of answers are hidden in them

reef central is replacing the word F-I-S-H with wreath or whatever


my last post was entitles "C-O-R-A-L-S closing at night"


and someone idiotically edited it to "lawn gnomes closing at night"


not really amused

I think you could find your answers in the new Reefkeeping Magazine. Click here.

SHUTTING DOWN THE NEWBIE FORUMS, OMG... CHAOS, PANIC!?

[returnofsid]

Why does it seem that soooo many members are getting their panties in a bunch today??? LOL . Check the calendar people!!! Then.....Go commando, to keep the bunches out.

 

[shuguley]

On behalf of everyone here, I would like to thank alextheromanian for making this one of the funniest threads I have ever read. If it weren't for people like him, April 1st just wouldn't be any fun.

I hope this is a bad joke (like the rest of you). Has this site gotten so high on itself that it can no longer cater to the lowly new reefer. Think of how all of us were when we first started reefing. This site was invaluable to learning, allowing a forum to ask questions in a non-intimidating, safe place. I feel this site will lose serious credibilty if we cater to only the "experienced" reefer, if any of us can call ourselves that. Just my two cents (whatever thats worth)

 

[Ms_Jerk]

It's a joke.

Hehe, c'mon folks just keep'em coming. This is soo funny!

 

[macchicks]

This is a joke but alot of the jokes today have involved a mod litterly bashing new reefers, in posts and this article. I think trying to make anyone feel stupid the way some of the comments have been worded is just mean and not a joke or funny.

altering the logo is cool. altering peoples posts not so much. altering user names is really messed up. One guy posts a link that logs you out thats funny.

 

[Megalodon]

They altered people's user names? LOL I missed that.

 

[hamiltonguy]

Oh come on guys, you gotta give the mods and admins a break. Day after day they work hard to provide you with a VAST amount of knowledge, they need a break too. Empathize for a minute, think about all the questions the noobs (like myself) ask here. Now if you were the one who had to moderate all those posts and try to answer the same question 5423523x, it does get slightly irritating. So let them have their fun one day a year.

I personally think the April's fools joke on here was HILARIOUS.

 

[alextheromanian]

i guess i was the April tool this year on reef central.

might drown myself in my own fish tank now.

 

[kraze3]

Admitting it is the first step to recovery...

Send me your corals before you stick your head in the tank
