Hagar Lives...

    Morning All :D:D:D:D


    What a day. I post a jokey insult at Ruu, change my tagline to "Banned" and go off to work. Beruthiel joins in with a spoof siteban which adds an air of authority to it. Then Rabies bans everyone from Lolocaust for a laugh. I come home from work to a bulging in-box and my own wake. What started out as a one-liner joke took on a life of it's own complete with a "Free Hagar" campaign.

    The support was surprising. Thanks to everyone who knowingly or unknowingly joined in the campaign, or allowed it to continue, it was the best laugh I've had in ages. I do hope nobody is too red-faced this morning, it was all just in fun and not meant to cause embarrassment.

    Welcome back Hagar. I couldn't believe Vex's entry into the banlist for Oriel "No I am not joking"

    I don't think they created enough threads about it.

    Kudos to all involved. The whole debacle made for some good reading :) Taking it past midday was a great idea, as I think it confused a lot of people (myself included).

    And Hagar it must feel great to be so worshipped by your minions ;)

    That's some funny stuff. I seen a sig pic in the Airsoft forum for "Free Hagar", and I was wondering if it was referring to you.

    Your little prank went better than mine anyhow...

    I have to say, that was one of the funniest April fools gag's ever. I couldnt believe how much people got suckered into it, I had people coming up to me in the office I was working in saying "Lolocaust.... its not gone is it?!? Am I banned? Is it because of that dodgy joke I posted?"

    Funny, as soon as I saw Vex involved I knew it was a wind up :):)

    Aye it was good. I had my suspicions it was a joke but the involvement of whitewashman on the other thread supporting the idea of Hagar being banned really got me thinking that it might be true.

    I thought it would be obvious by now, but every new product launched, feature created, something going wrong, that happens to fall on aprils fools day is a joke...

    Brilliant Hagar, welcome back from the dead.
    Welcome back, also, to the Lolocaust forum.

    the two things that are special in my life have risen from the dead... :D
