Whenever I started talking about April fools to Shane, he would totally ignore me. Eventually I said that to him, and he just laughed..

Kept expecting that blog post to show up too, so I really knew something was fishy when nothing showed up.

I was fooled, at first. I wish that I had listened to the live show though, in my copy it just sounded like shane said something then Brad said something then Shane said something like we'll need a new show host next week.

We made a mistake in the fact that we aimed it at the forum community but the thing that would persuade people it was real took place on the live recording. So most of the forum community didn't hear the argument and thus didn't have any reason to believe it, and the people who it wasn't aimed at (Update listeners) all believed it. It was an interesting vantage point to be banned for a few days anyway.

Didn't buy it. Brad? Banned? Don't make me laugh.

Yeah, but that was like a week before April fools, so it wasn't very predictable. :roll:

I was listening. I actually just got back from checking on my dinner to hear Shane telling you to speak up. Really, you had a very convincing performance, and I actually did believe it... for about an hour.

Better luck next year.

I knew it,I wanted to post it, But I didnt wanted to get banned for talking about banned people lol.

I believed it and I wasn't even in teamspeak. I got completely owned by Shane and Brad.

How much of that did you mean, Brad?

Mushroom Queen · **Posted:** April 2nd, 2008, 7:45 pm

Aw, darn! I thought we got rid of you for good.

XD It was too obvious for the staff. Next year, you guys need to let us in on it.
