????????????????????????????????????????????
"Walking On Broken Glass"
You were the sweetest thing that I ever knew
But I don't care for sugar honey if I can't have you
Since you've abandoned me
My whole life has crashed
Won't you pick the pieces up
'cause it feels just like I'm walking on broken glass
Walking on walking on broken glass
The sun's still shining in the big blue sky
But it don't mean nothing to me
Oh let the rain come down
Let the wind blow through me
I'm living in an empty room
With all the windows smashed
And I've got so little left to lose
That it feels just like I'm walking on broken glass
Walking on walking on broken glass
And if you're trying to cut me down
You know that I might bleed
Cause if you're trying to cut me down
I know that you'll succeed
And if you want to hurt me
There's nothing left to fear
Cause if you want to hurt me
You're doing really well my dear
Now everyone of us was made to suffer
Everyone of us was made to weep
But we've been hurting one another
And now the pain has cut too deep...
So take me from the wreckage
Save me from the blast
Lift me up and take me back
Don't let me keep on walking...
Walking on broken glass
Walking on walking on broken glass

If you have to keep reminding people on many different threads that this was "all in good fun", then I'd say that this important announcement was a bust. :) Maybe it's time to lock/delete all of the threads related to it before even more people think it was real?
Better luck next year!
Thanks,

Mostly it's me catching up from while I was away running errands.
Perhaps changing the thread title to add a 4/1 reference would help for those people just logging on ... :)

Excellent Idea, I've retitled all the threads that were part of this prank. :)

Good to see. :)I'm somewhat relieved I was unable to log in all day until about 7:30 PM ET when the fun-factor and post counts started climbing, so I missed some of the early hysteria and was able to watch this thread develop "live"! I just bit my tongue waiting for the other show to drop! :p
What's the happs peeps? :lol:

Think you may be surprised on that one Dave. There were alot of newer members and even some veteran members that sent very wordy messages to admin.
Wow. Those are the people that should actually be banned.
I can't imagine anyone actually thinking the mods were all banned. Frightening.

I saw that...only too late while on the road.
I would have loved to get into the fun, but timing is everything, isn't it.
In any case, this was all done in the spirit of fun and humor, which is always welcome.
Otherwise we CE testers would become a pretty cranky old bunch.... :lol:
By the way, I could have certainly come up with some contributions with some of this kind of material from my trip to San Fran....

In a couple of years. We're limited to April 1 pranks to every other year now because it will take that long for Chris to sort through all the PMs and email from the last prank.

Next year we'll have to do something lame and transparent that raises less alarm. :)
