I'm going to conclude it's April Fools.

Long story.

For a moment, I thought that account was going to be more complication to the chain or something!

... Wait, maybe it will be.

Edit: Is Katrika's user title usually "Thataway"? Since Fighteer has changed sig and avvie, but not that.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Hi Fast Eddie.

Do you like this prank?

Also what does that mean?

And we'll Never Live It Down.

Nope, that's Fighteer's.

Programming and surgery have a lot of things in common: Don't start removing colons until you know what you're doing.

I don't think Fighteer changed his location sig and caption.

On the mod hat thing: please tell me what avatar you see on post #68 (french maid catgirl or lineart kittie?), post #54 (Fox in a hat or nebula?), and post #49 ('Nova' with a hat or just plain 'Nova'?).

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.

I thought as much, but Fighteer's changed it now to read "For Science".

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

I just see the same avatar as when you're not using the hat, as I've always seen it.

Ohh.

I thought this was his job.

Maddy, if you log out of your mod account, none of the mod hat avatars are visible. So ccoa still looks like blackcat, you still look like Fighteer, etc.

Formerly, when moderators put their mod hats on, their avvies changed to a preset "mod hat avvie". The don't anymore, since that loong discussion 2011/2012. Was this an intended or unintended change, since it's showing up here?

Like I said, I haven't seen the mod-hats in use for months now, so I thought this was deliberate and not a coding error.

Unintended. Quite unintended. Since mods can still see the mod hats, we had no idea anything was different at all.

I'm awake and functional now, although I had to do the changes piecemeal from a tablet. This is gloriously confusing!

Oh you mods.

Even the mods are calling each other by the wrong usernames in our hidden subforum.

Shhh. That's supposed to be a secret. >_>

If there's a time when all of you are awake, you should all to post consecutively on the same page.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

It's like a super special secret club?

Hehe.

Oh My.

This is... the greatest thing ever.

The obvious conclusion would be just to number yourself beginning with MOD #1 (Eddie) and continuing.

The best part is that the changes are retroactive so come Monday this thread will look even odder.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"

Just numbers are boring. I propose a serial number made up of account registration date, birthdate, longitude and latitude, and a secret code that may or may not represent whether they're laughing at you behind your back.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.

Oh my, you're right.

This thread is going to be WEIRD on monday, sort of like those threads in forum games where you see people talking about non-existent avatars.

Also, has anyone else decided to Follow the Leader and switch avatars with someone?

Go play Kentucky Route Zero. Now.
