April Fools
« on: March 31, 2009, 10:44:54 PM »
Thought I'd make a post to help prevent too much confusion. Post count ranks are now following the Star Trek ranking system. Thanks goes to Carbon Dudeoxide for making this suggestion several months ago.

Ranks FAQ page has also been updated to reflect this information.

You dont appear to have one :P
This is a very cool idea, I love it!
Except, the images are a bit big... I think I could live with it that way though.

That ought to throw off the newbies a bit!

      I thought that it was a new ranking system or something, made a post about it else were.  So worried about the attack that I cant enjoy the day like it was orginally.  Curse those russians.

          cbs showed russians and there laws are differnt for interneting compared to alot of others.  Carbon are you a true fan?  Just a knock off, cant stand them the new generation lacks alot of what the orginal had.

            Is it possible to get a pint of Romulan ale ???
            I know that it was banned by the United Federation but just maybe it can be a special reward.

                  Today I was disappointed to be busted of my Star Trek rank.  Was it because of possession of Romulan Ale ??????    >:(

                  PS: On a serious note. I understand that it was just for April Fools day but I actually liked it & I think you should consider making it the standard.

                  Is there any support out there??

                  Glad to hear you enjoyed it, but unless there was an overwhelming outcome of support it's just something that will potentially appear on future April Fools days. :)
