Metafilter hacked? Or just a little April Fool's fun?
  • This is what I saw on one page: NO? Un, Oui!! Miguel #1 You like that don't you? i'm not a member of metafilter. thi is the closest i will ever come to posting :*( so, i must take this opportunity to let you in on the web's best kept secret: http://www.google.com/. it's really good. i'm serious. haha i feel like a real live mefite now! giddy! so giddy!dasdas
  • It said "Where are the Monkeys" when I looked. ODes anybody here now anything about that. *Looks around the classroom for the culprit*
  • this may or may not explain it
  • *sniffs* All I get is a measly ColdFusion error.
  • HoLY @#$%!
  • Um, I think I broke MetaFilter.
  • That sure is fun. I like, I like, I like. Its interfering badly with my attempts at getting anything done, though. Goddammit.
  • It doesn't seem to be working anymore. :( Looked like fun. What type of a program is that?
  • A Wiki program. The entire Wikipedia site is based on that.
  • "some lame ass wiki CF code" - cool. We should do something like that here, where anyone can post whatever they want!
  • drat. I got [flings poo] on the homepage, but it appears to have been removed. Poop.
  • Cheers, petebest. I got this on the homepage, but now can't find it: "Yea though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of the Monkey I will see, hear and speak no evil, nor fling no poo: for Bananas art with me; Bright Baboon Buns and Beady Eyes comfort me." Psalm of shinything, from the book of Washoe, Kong and Grape Ape.
  • I checked the Mefi status page and got something very odd. It looked like a Mefi page in very small font that you could edit yourself (although I haven't tried). Hope no one minds me posting it here: April 1 I for one welcome our new wiki overlords. posted by Pancake at 10:49 AM PST - 0 Comments KICK">http://www.kickinthehead.org">KICK IN? THE HEAD.ORG? Something here is very very broken. MeFi has no value to me in it's current state. Anyone know wtf is wrong with MeFi? April 1 Wow. My first and last MeFi Post. Frikken non-new-member-allowing Metafilter. posted by luetin at 10:37 AM EST - 0 Comments Oddly enough, if you do a GIS? for Best Picture Ever (http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22best+picture+ever%22&btnG=Search), you get some of the lamest pictures ever. You do, however, really get the best picture ever several times - it's just not first. posted by NotAMemeberButWishesHeWas at 10:30 AM EST - 0 Comments Whats wrong with MetaFilter?* April 34 I HURT MY? FOOT. April 1 YOU GOT? METABABY IN? MY? METAFILTER posted by MARCHFORWEBSTANDARDS at 10:17 AM EST - 0 Comments April 1 In a move destined to shake the Web, MetaFilter began accepting new users today.

  • boy oh boy this april's fool joke is wearing thin. i just want my regular mefi now. grrr.
  • all i get is the same old Jrun error. stoopit mefi.
  • Thats the joke, quonset_the_hut.
  • So, is the sober monekyfilter getting any new members today?
  • monekyfilter sounds nice.
  • Parameter 2 of function Left which is now 0 must be a positive integer That's hilarious, man. I got your robust exception right here!
  • Madness stacked upon madness! Haughey, by the God who judges us all, I hope you know what you're doing! April 1 Of course, should Matt never choose to open the Great Blue Doors ever again (as is his prerogative, unfortunately for us non-MeFites?), you can always cruise on over to MonkeyFilter at http://www.monkeyfilter.com/ . Besides, we have more bananas. --pmdboi yeeassss . . yeeaassss . . witness the iron fisted grip of the Monkey . .
  • I tried to "post" a comment to metafilter with the edit button, but it didn't work. Who do you think I should submit the bug report to?
  • Looks like everything is back to "normal" on the Blue. And by "normal" I mean shrill, whiny, unending poo-flinging and general unpleasantness that has become Mefi lately .
  • drat, it's back up. (on preview, Sooooz gets the banana)
  • status sez: Damn, this assy wiki software is totally killing the box.
  • Clogging up the server, BAH! It's my fault Matt took it down early. I threatened a total Monkey takeover. Scared him.
  • The only danger is if they send us to that terrible Planet of the Apes. . . . waitaminit . . Statue of Liberty . . *gasp* . . that was OUR planet!! You BLEW IT UP!! You . . MANIACS!!! DAMN YOUUUU!! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELLLL! *sobs*
