SO I have only been on here a week or two now.. but I have seen multiple references to the "april fools pranks". I tried to search for "said thread" and came up with so many threads it wasn't even funny. I am "sorta" starting to piece all this together, but am still really:confused:

does anyone want to help a freshman out with the whole story?? :D

Ok I just searched, I can't find the original thread.
A few people who can ...rigged it to where when you got on everyone sees a thread title with their own name, but it was the same thread. It was a fictitious user starting a thread and insulting in various ways the unsuspecting person like me. I fell for it , hook line and sinker and got all pissy. I started a new thread just to bitch about it. Quite brilliant how they pulled it off. I can laugh about it now but I pretty much made an ass out of myself and to top it all off, since there were a ton of replies bashing the OP, I actually thought some of them must be defending me. I thought wow, I've only been here a few weeks and all this for me ???:D :D DUH LOL

I think they mean the OTHER April Fools joke. I believe it was deleted (can't find it but I'll keep looking) but here is the aftermath:

YES... see this is what I found earlier when I looked:

Default Congratulations, jjsmom
You figured it out.
Hope you had a few giggles along with the outrage.
Maybe there are even a few lessons about not taking ourselves too seriously and reading something thoroughly before reacting.
And for those of you who were wondering: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/foxhoodle.htm
So, here's to hoping you'll forgive but not forget and maybe snicker about the Chazhound April Fools' Day code prank every now and then.

Your Merry Pranksters,
Renee, Buckshot and DemitriousK
so I was able to piece SOME of it together.. but not all...

*chuckles*

That was so hilarious and people got so pissed off.... hahahahahha
Oh, I remember that!! lol.

I didn't get pissed off. I got flattered because I though, Wow, I couldn't believe soooooo many people got mad on my behalf :eek:. I even went so far to think that how come people on here were so nice to me, they took time to replace their name with mine on the title line just to show support.. :eek:

I guess I figured it out after a first few replies, and had a good laugh at myself. How fool was I to think I'm loved that much!! :lol-sign:. I should have known that when something is too good to be true, it's probably is. :eek:
