(APRIL FOOLS) Apolyton & CivFanatics Merging!

[Civinator]

It´s great that such a lot Apolytoners are helping in that April´s joke of Civfanatics. This year Apolyton had another April´s joke. But Civfanatics?

May be, I can use the presence of even prominent Apolytoners like Solver in a forum, where I can post, to help me with a problem:

I have a problem in receiving the automated activation mail at Apolyton and at CFC while registrating (may be caused by the space in my mail adresse). The following happened:

In may 2005 most civers guessed about the features of the -at that time long awaited - Civ 4. While all people guessed about the new Civ 4, I had a cheap German computer magazine for some euros, with tons of informations and screenshots about that game. I mailed to the Apolyton help adress, about that problem with the activation mail, but I didn´t get any help. Than I mailed a private mail to Locutus about those -at that time- outstanding news about Civ 4 and that I can´t post anything at Apolyton cause I don´t receive an activation mail.

My news was set to the Apolyton headline of that day and a lot was written about the information and screenes I did give to them: http://apolyton.net/news/index.php?Category=All&month=200505 .

But I didn´t get any help with my registration problem. Even when I contacted the help adress at Apolyton two times again and hinted, that I wanted to post something to my informations that are at the current headline of the Apolyton news, I didn´t receive any answer or help.

Quite different at CFC: When I mailed to Thunderfall about my problem with receiving the activation mail, he helped me within some days.

So it would be very nice, if I now could get the help in registration at Apolyton too. At Apolyton I´m registered with my normal nickname Blue Lion.

This is completely insane. Aneeshm is spamming. Aneeshm.

I just don't know what to believe in any more...

This sucks.

Someone once said to me, "The mistaken claim that the laws of nature don't apply to Apolyton is not only incorrect but is somewhat telling of Apolyton's core sentiments." This phrase struck me so forcefully that I have often used it since. And that, in my view, is our real problem. Piece.

so you think we are proud, arrogant, and vain? hahahahahahahahaha

well you are partly correct. I am INCREDIBLY vain. i fully admit it. but that is because i am just that darn good... The rest of 'Poly is just about as diverse as CivFanatics is... WE however dont OBSESS like you guys do. We have fun. we have a tight knit community. and we certainly are NOT "flipping-out" over this issue. To deny the fact that CFC is in total anarchy and chaos right now, only hours after the announcement, is kidding yourself. This situation says VOLUMES more about your hallowed site... than does your "quote" say about 'Poly

Several of the links there are basically placeholders for the time being. The File Database is currently CFC, but will be transferred to CivJunction, and any files hosted at Apolyton that are not duplicated here will be transferred onto it. Although the site is up and running, the merging process will take a little time, as the old sites gradually wind down and transfer operations over there.

that's a good excuse, but the junction history is only a big lie; if it was true, you would avoid announcing it in the April 1st and would announce it only tomorrow

So having less dedicated members is a good think?? I've never seen so much activity in News Updates ever, and this is only because people are alarmed. Luckily I'm not.

i have no use for the "complaint generator" as i am not the one who is complaining

although that link will work wonders for the rest of CFC i am sure...

also, i am glad you like my tagline so much. flattered really. keep in mind however that i do not "wear it out" by stating it after EVERY post i make. Since it is OBVIOUS i have made a statement here, and a lasting impression... the cards in this little "game" are CLEARLY stacked in my favor... though yall have the numbers...

this will fare to be QUITE interesting for sure

Civinator:

Sorry to hear about that story. Unfortunately, our contact/help system at Apolyton is fairly hosed, often causing delayed responses or lack thereof. On the bright side, sending me a message personally should almost always get you a response within a day, and within hours if I'm online.

Anyway, I'll send you a PM here in a few minutes...

 

[GarretSidzaka]

crap, its already april fools again?

 

[uat2d]

my final comment: this idea is simply too stupid

More evidence as to why this is a joke:



and here's some more:



Now why would TF add these emoticons, only to take them away again?

IT'S A JOKE I SAY! JJJOOOKKKKEEE*cough*

Go read some of his posts at Poly and you will be confused beyond beleif.

 

[Virote_Considon]

Yeh, but that's at 'poly. Here's too good for his spaming

 

[donsig]

I *think* Rik Meleet and Dianthus are on the fence. Probably know for sure tomorrow. The nonmod HOF Staff are all likely with me, and I think some of the GOTM are torn between AlanH and ainwood...

Well, if ainwood goes the pay route wouldn't he still be welcome at the new but still free site?

 

[Impaler[WrG]]

Wow I just realized that this thread has in ~12 hours accumulated twice the post count of the Beyond the Sword thread just below it which has been up for several days!

 

[Vind2]

aprils fools plz

 

[Slaughter]

I'm joining the resistence too!

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

I still think this is a prank.

But should this not be one, then I join the insurgency!
