Had a good April's Fools Day?
« on: April 02, 2013, 12:26:53 am »

Top: TI-Planet in Omnimaga mode
Bottom: Omnimaga in TI-Planet mode

We hope you had. As you probably suspected, any news posted shortly before April 1st, midnight (GMT+2) and now might or might not be true. We won't rename, neither is TI-Planet, the TI-83+ with TI-84+ hardware only exist in France, DJ Omnimaga isn't making any Justin Bieber cover (unless it's ironic) and nor Deep Thought or Juju became an evil computer or pony.

I would like to thank in no particular order Adriweb, Critor, Deep Thought, DJ Omnimaga, Excale, Levak and myself for making this year's pranks come true. Particularly Deep Thought for changing the Omnimaga themes to TI-Planet, Adriweb for providing both the idea and the various okay-looking photoshops for both Omnimaga and TI-Planet, Critor for making a pretty believable TI-83 Plus and TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition.fr, DJ Omnimaga for his music prank and the picture above, Levak for making the TI-Planet background, myself for coordonating all those stuff together and TI-Planet as a whole for partnering with us and switching their logo, favicon and background to the Omnimaga one.

Did you liked it? Did you fell for it? Do you want a TI-Planet theme on Omnimaga and vice-versa? Tell us in the comments!

Correction: I actually did 1 Justin Bieber cover. It just lasts 30 seconds :P

Also I think we were not the only ones with a name change idea. Cemetech became Comictech with Kerm resigning, Comicidiot replacing him. :D Ticalc also had a nice prank (although I hope Facebook like becomes a reality and that they eventually add subscriptions to authors)

Still waiting to see if the HP Prime is real or fake.

Correction: TI-Planet hacked Omnimaga and took it over by force, and we just now managed to muster up the courage to stand up to our French overlords and return Omnimaga to its former glory.

Nice april fools day guys. I really couldn't think of anything this year, so I'm glad that at least some of you were on top if it and came up with some fun stuff.^^

I enjoyed playing along, but now I am disappointed that DJ won't make a Justin Bieber cover album.  :(

:P

Some things :
- you forgot Excale to the thank-you list
- I was the one who made the okay-looking photoshops :P (at first, we weren't even sure if we were gonna use them ^^)
- oops we still have "OmnomIRC" as the title of tiplanet's chat :P
- lol at "ComicTech" x)
- I think ticalc's ideas listed in their fake news would provide them way more good if they actually made them happen (except the flash/java things, ofc)

I said this a lot yesterday but I actually think that theme looks pretty good :P
I really didn't know what to expect, so when I logged in I was pretty confused, good job :).

Yeah, I knew it was a joke.(Not certain about the new calc though).
But I enjoyed it, and had fun speaking french is chat. :D

However, I think Ticalc.org is fine and should not start adding anything social-network-y to it.
Especially knowing that many don't have and don't WANT a user account on some of those sites.

I agree about having to get an account on those sites. I prefer it like TI-Planet where you can start a forum account normally or from Facebook, but don't have to. Today people hate creating new accounts everywhere but for privacy reasons it sucks when we are forced to use our Facebook account directly to post somewhere.

That's why I think giving the choice is probably the best way to go.
And social interaction is a good way to gain popularity, so....

Dammit! I believed the hardware thing. Mostly because I don't know much about hardware

I knew those were all a joke, but that would really suck if the forum became french. Because I only know one word of french: trois.

Those might be a joke, but Sorunome becoming Derpy Hooves.... that's serious business :P

I fell for it for about 5 seconds, until I saw the JB covers DJ_O was going to "release" xD
Keep trying.

You don't know the words for one and two? Only for three? o.o
