<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Guess I made a boo boo"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/54.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Guess I made a boo boo
Obviously, I'm not talking about deliberate hoaxes that might cause real trouble, but just a joke (possibly in the spirit of April Fools Day?) that might give people a quick jolt, but that would become obvious as a joke very shortly, and cause no harm.

If not, no problem. I'm really just curious as to whether the problem is that the post was a joke, or the forum in which it was placed (News and Rumors).

As always, thanks.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517739/5454607.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517739/5454607.page GMT Guess I made a boo boo 40k Discussions sub-forum has had it's share of silly threads.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517739/5454611.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517739/5454611.page GMT Guess I made a boo boo http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517739/5454615.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517739/5454615.page GMT Guess I made a boo boo

Well, I posted an April Fools day topic that rapidly got locked. I still, despite some 300 posts, consider myself something of a noob, to dakka, so I'll just ask this. Is there any place on the forum where joke posts are appropriate?

This site gets more humorless and inept every single year. A couple years back I would post an April Fool's thread and it was mostly met with enthusiasm. Last year the "no fun allowed" brigade appeared when a few people posted joke threads (including me) and this year it looks like they won out for good.

Pretty unfortunate but hey that's how it goes. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517739/5454639.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517739/5454639.page GMT Guess I made a boo boo

Signal to Noise ratio and all of that.

If one of the ones posted today was actually original or funny, it'd probably slide.

Perhaps that's why the Privateer Press one is still up. That one took a little effort and is silly.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517739/5454912.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517739/5454912.page GMT Guess I made a boo boo

I don't think it's a case of not getting into April Fools, that thread and the one or two similar ones that have popped up lacked any merit as either a prank, joke or any surprise. At best it was a stale, still it's not to say it shouldn't happen.

I'm less impressed with this navel gazing thread to be honest. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517739/5454918.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517739/5454918.page GMT Guess I made a boo boo

I can get into it, but with funny stuff that actually has a grain of originality.
A thread that consists of a statement that "GW has gone bankrupt and it looks like they might have done it wrong" followed by a URL shortened to look official isn't actually funny, nor did it appear to take any significant amount of effort.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517739/5454934.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517739/5454934.page GMT Guess I made a boo boo

I'm not. If people post in a public forum, expect people to not like your joke. Got a problem with it, don't post.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517739/5454940.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517739/5454940.page GMT Guess I made a boo boo

Yeah, I seem to remember being more silly when I first joined Dakka mind you that could be just nostalgia or I've been on here long enough that there's few topics that are original.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517739/5454952.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517739/5454952.page GMT Guess I made a boo boo

To be honest, your post didn't match the "requirements" of showing effort-it was a quick blurb with a link to a spam picture.
