When Zouave used to be on CFC, eyrei made an account on Apolyton with the username "Zouave" just to annoy him.
 
No real point reacting before tomorrow.

As I said, I'm not exactly privy to these things - that was just my understanding. Sometimes things just do happen on 1 April that aren't jokes. I was reading the paper and trying to work out which story was the joke: the renovation of a Victorian house that was run on hydroelectricity from a dam in the basement, or the story that Kevin Spacey has persuaded Tony Blair to star in The Crucible at the Old Vic this autumn after leaving Downing Street. I was convinced that the hydroelectric house was a joke until I got to the Blair story, so it must in fact be true! Goes to show...

Quote from a book I'm reading:

...don't be suspicious all the time. Data protection experts suspected a fool last year when an online bulletin board story on 1 April lavished praise on a European Parliament member called Boogerd-Quaak. She's entirely real and a doughty campaigner for civil liberties from the Netherlands.

Hey, I see people from Apolyton are reading this. They suck. They SUCK SUCK SUCK. They suck more than Paris Hilton.

Hopefully now I shall get mentioned on Apolyton too! :woohoo:
 
catharsis,

i know you wish to feel "important" and "noticed" at 'Poly...

but im afraid you must register in order to do that ;)
 
:lol:

catharsis,

unlike a significant majority of posters... i DO NOT insult people...

i dazzle them with my literary brilliance until they feel superiorly pwned. but ONLY if they insult ME first. Generally, i am a nice guy ;)
 
"...when an online bulletin board story on 1 April lavished praise on a European Parliament member called Boogerd-Quaak" :lol: :lol:

Is she the half sister of Heresson ?

The whole point of making certain features, such as GOTM, pay-per-use is to raise money without having to have ads. As I understand it, it was felt fair to have a small charge for these features, which are mostly used by the "hardcore" members who would not mind paying a small amount to keep them going. It means a nicer looking site all round.

Of course, everything else remains free, including the downloads. You can continue to download all the files, including mods, scenarios, units, and the rest for free. The File Database will remain basically the same, but Apolyton's files will be slowly added to it over the coming weeks, just as ours were when it was first put up. That means that pretty much all user-created Civ content will be available in a single place, without modders having to check both CFC and Apolyton for that elusive unit. I think the new site will be a real improvement, with the strengths of both of its parents.

I don't really understand much about the timing, but it's basically down to the mundane fact that server bills are paid at the start of each month, so it officially begins today. There was some talk that lots of people would think it a joke because of 1 April. In fact I think they may even have deliberately made the big announcement today so that people would wonder if it's a joke, and that would create some publicity when it turned out not to be, but I don't really know.

As for OT, I don't actually know if the new site will even have one. That might not have been decided yet - there are good arguments both ways. Probably.

I would rather have ads thank you. Paying for GOTM sucks big time.
 
All I can say after reading through this thread is... the next few weeks ought to be really amusing :lol:
