I got fooled at first but after i found the link back I was fine. a great joke. too bad all the calc websites did the same thing

I just looked within the source and found the link.

Yes... Scared the poopoo out of me! I thought someone forgot to pay the domain name bill. I saw it on March 31st; I completely forgot about April 1st.

Realistic and professional looking. Pretty clever guys!

I thought it was a little too profetional looking which lead to further suspition.

and that's why I was upset, it wasn't the 1st so I wasn't thinking about that

Me too. Since I live at -6:00 of the GMT, the joke appeared on the day before April 1st.

I went to see the April Fools joke.

my first impulse was OMFG, immediately followed by "use the source Luke...err..Thomas"

I am at -9:00 GMT but after seeing April fools jokes appear in march last year I expected to see a joke later in the day.

Stop spell checking

it was very real-looking. i was fooled and kind of scared. it was like one of those random search engine things when you type in a wierd url. i thought ticalc forgot to pay the domain bill or was down or something. i didnt realize that it was april 1st =P

Yeah, really. Next year coordinate so you don't all do the same thing... Of course, we didn't; we did this a couple years ago. :)

Sweet!!!!!
Third post!
I must admit, yes. I haven't been here for that long, so I did.

Question: About how long does it take for an uploaded program to appear on this site?

idk, anywhere from a day to a month

I have to admit it, i tought that ticalc was going crazy, i didn't knew what to do, i hate to say it but u guys fool me in a 100%

It depends on the size of the file queue and how busy the file archivers are. A day to a month is a pretty good range, but it's more likely to be within a day to a week.

It's generally about a week. If you want faster, yell at my professors.

i have no clue what u guys r talking about, some1 plz tell me (freakishgth@yahoo.com) or post it here

Check this link.

Thanks for that-I never went online on April 1-when I saw the survey question I was really upset at missing something.

Sorry, this link doesn't work any more. It did, but not anymore

It wasn't funny.

I have to admit that it tricked me, but it was a mean joke. I was worried for a while.

I have to agree that it was cruel, it took me the better part of the day to figure out how to crack through to a news post. Even then, it was out of date.

Better go to try2hack.nl and work on those hacking skills...

theres lots of sites like that. hackthissite.com is really good and has increasingly harder simulations

hackthissite.org, actually. That's one of my favorite ones.

actually it was, especially when you realize maybe only 45 to 50 people actually figured out the trick :D

besides, get a sense of humor :D
