Hi all members,

As some may have expected we had quite a good April fools day this year that worked out great.

Members who visited the site were redirected to a questionnaire page where they HAD to answer the questions to be deemed worthy to enter the DMT-Nexus again.

The questions were rigged however and all you had to enter was "SMOALK MOAR". On this page there was also an image that showed a hint to just type: "SMOALK MOAR", with each answer given answer this image would be brighter and more visible to the poor user.

The questions that people entered could be followed in real time in the chat and were also directly posted on the forum. So all who were in already could see the hilarious and often moving answers that people were giving to (desperately) get in again.


MEDALS

Some people stood clearly out above the rest in the way they answered the questions and as such we thought it would be a goodidea to give these people a special medal that would be shown under their avatar for this coming week.

FASTEST

We had quite a few people who by accident answered the correct answer on question 8, and that was of course with the question "What is kikkers legendary life advice?".

The people who accidentally answered correctly are:

* inaniel
* pinche
* Nereus
* DmnStr8
* rOm
* Ufostrahlen
* adam
* cosmictaylor
* benzyme
* ganesh
* Purges

SLOWEST

wearepeople I suspect wearepeople had too much fun with this and wanted to make sure he has the highest count.

MOST HUMOROUS ANSWERS

Auxin It started slow with the machine elves but along the way it got better and better into the realms of hilarious.

MOST GENUINE ANSWERS

yamma1 With each question this person put in a lot of time and effort, things like that needs to be rewarded!

MOST RESEARCH DONE

Xagan Each answer was thoroughly researched and as such each question took up till about half an hour to answer. Well done!


SOME STATS

People who started the questionnaire: 483

People who finished the questionnaire successfully: 257 (53%)

Total questions answered by all: 21,402 (on average 44.3 answers per person)

Total questions answered by people who finished the questionnaire: 17,027 (on average 66.3 answers per person)


WHAT NOW?

This April f00ls prank has some good side effects. For example we can use the answers given to promote new members, quite a few new members showed that they have what it takes by giving great answers showing knowledge, eagerness and wisdom.

We are even thinking about giving new members the opportunity to answer a serious questionnaire where the answers can be seen in a special subforum that is only visible to full members. By doing this new members can show their merits and it will make it much more easy to promote them.

We will make a list of the most special and the most funniest answer per question. This will take some time due to the amount of answers, so please have a little patience on this one.

Also dreamer042 will put in some effort to make a list of the questions and the correct answers, aside from the SMOALK MOAR of course.


I hope you all enjoyed the show and next year there will not be an April f00ls day anymore, I think.


Kind regards,

The Traveler

Good to see SMOALK MOAR is still going strong!!!

Great April fools prank guys

Thanks for the recognition. Appreciated. was in fear of losing my account. lol.



good prank guys. well done

A very very clever prank, that got better and better as the answers trickled in. It was until many hours in that i realized how epic it was. Well done

I was also very surprised how many people actually bothered answering the questions. The engagement level of nexians seems to be very high, which is a good thing.

Yay, thanks for the medal!

Almost got me witcha prank

Very cool indeed!

This makes me wonder how you'll be able one-up this prank for next year! I really fell for it for the first half of questions I answered.

That's hilarious!

I wish I knew what was actually going on when it was happening. By some random stroke of luck I logged into the chat but apparently not the forums. I was wondering wtf Elite Dawgz was and all these questions - great prank.

That was best April Fools Day ever!

And of course: smoalk moar!

I see I wasn't the only one to get in "accidentally". Or maybe it was our psychic abilities kicking in
Thank you mods, it was a very entertaining April Fools.

A very nice prank, it must have meant a lot of work for you.
Kudoz to you, admin.

"Tokker the turtle"

Your turtle and senior member icon seem to have a staring contest.

It was great.

Thanks to your little "prank", I spent an entire biology lecture thinking about just why and how I should use psychedelics and probably learned moar than what I would have if I had just listened to the lecture... My thanks goes out to all involved in the creation of this prank for furthering my true inner education.

Epic

I love it. I told my best friend about it and she got a kick out of it too.

Nexus does it right.

ahhh man, trav by question 5 I was so mad at you !

You guys set this one up good, I'd be sad to see such a thing be gone in the future.

What a wonderful spring tonic for the Nexus.

I sure was laughing reading your answers
