    Me and Gally had a fake argument on twitter last night to set it up, then this morning I sent a link out to a fake new BBS I was trying to set up as a rival.

    Apologies to anyone who was confused. I was planning to go to town this morning and push the ruse to the limit, but I was out and about and my mobile phone contract data allowance ran out, this morning of all times!

    So if the ruse seemed a little under embellished, that's why. But I think we tricked a few people going by social media etc.

    haha

    It got me for a second or two, but I put 2 and 2 together and thought you must have banned Hemmsy first, then banned yourself. Then I noticed it didn't have the "idiot" bit, so I realised it was a fake......because we all know you are an idiot at the best of times :nails:

    Actually I did notice at least one person fell for it, at the same time the BBS face page was upside down.......but a lot of the threads from 12 hours ago seem to have disappeared, so can't recall who it was.

    Flipping heck! I feel a right Rodney Trotter! I take it I was never really wanted for Site Admin. Excuse me whilst I embarrassingly walk away with my tail firmly tucked between my legs.

    I just saw your name with the banned symbol through it.

    Just thought you and Phil were in cahoots.

    Makes his genuine ban look even worse.

    This was the bit that made me think that we were being set up for some kind of April Fool.

    I think I missed it totally. I did get caught by the upside down homepage though, it was hilarious.

    Haha. When we put the post up asking for new Admin, we nearly put

    "If you are a regular in the OldNō7 you needn't apply"...

    But we thought it'd be too obvious that it was a wind up

    Not at all. We could do with some extra help and you really would be good for the job so if you are still up for it we'd love you on board!

    You should have banned the short blonde one, without prior notice. Now that would have been a good wind up.
