WHT Gold? OMG...

[dcdan]

I was browsing WHT today and noticed something very unusual (huge animated GIFs in sigs, and ridiculous-looking "gold" avatars that look appropriate for a gfy.com kind of forum). I was sure WHT got hacked.

Apparently, I was wrong! For $5000 a month you are allowed to trash WHT completely:

EDIT: The deal looks so sweet, I am totally grabbing one as I am typing this.

You know it's April Fools day.

Last year they did the 'ban any member' thing, year before that was like.. upside down text.

Look at a calendar and ask yourself, "What is April 1st?"

 

[dcdan]

Looks like I have to get some rest...

Last year they had their "admin forums" viewable by everybody with a bunch of threads that included your username in the subject to make it look like all of the mods are talking about you.

Not as good as the fake about Panasonic dropping MFT.

Isn't anything funny about that ad.  I mean pretty much the price gouging they've been doing for years so lackies can power spam their ads every X days.

I saved up all of my pennies, but I finally was able to purchase a Gold membership.

WHT's April Fool's jokes are actually funny. Most of the April Fool's stuff on the net is downright stupid.

I wasted too many hours last night finding Pokemon on Google Maps.

I couldn't agree more with this statement.  Half the things you read are either so obvious it's April Fool's or just so stupid you could careless.

I still roll my eyes every time I see that 'username'.

If you want, I'll change it for you. I think I am out of the frozen period now.

 

[Aldryic C'boas]

Doing things as a reaction to others is what prompted the... youthful decision to change it in the first place.  Just be yourself, don't let others have such a heavy impact on you.

Well, at least I did not find it so out of the context as Seagate's BACON drives.

We will buy Gold Membership soon
