Aprilia fools day

#1 Post by Aladinsaneuk » Tue Mar 06, 2012 9:47 pm

What we going to do?

I fancy hiding the forum an creating a scooter page - as in a mobility scooter.....

Thoughts?

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

:smt003 Yup... I reckon we could hide the forums and have a scooter forum up..
So easy to do.. and if we did that bit now, we could have 4 or 5 fake posters posting in it about mopeds and mobility scooters..etc..etc :smt005

If you do this, I take it you'll provide a link, or whatever, to the real RS somewhere?

Just thinking - someone with a technical problem may need to do an urgent search.

I must admit that I'm very concerned

Was planning on it being missing for the morning, with RS only showing as the scooter site.. then reappearing at dinnertime...

Im sure people will be ok for half a day...?

I think half a day would be right...

ok

so as a part of the new forum board design, we throw in a big clock of GMT....

and to reply to mart dude, nope, we do not have any links :)

oh - but we could have some threads about change of board direction, or purchasing a domain name etc... i.e. get creative and just make it funny

way back when I used to be heavily involved with an independent MMORPG website and forum

we did something similar... we listed the forum which was very sellable, as having been bought by a gold/plat seller and had a hole pile of listings all ready to go

the scorn etc and ridicule posts was amazing..... and then a lot of folk wet them selves.....

and i think we may have to make some fictitious user accounts... mr lambretta etc - and dealership input from scooter assassins and so on.....
