Title: DTF April Fools forum theme appriciation
Post by: wolfking on April 01, 2011, 06:14:23 AM
I think we must congratulate the mods for this prank.  The impressive thing is, is that two weeks ago, we were all raving over Friday, but the last 5-7 days the novelty totally wore off, them.......BAM!!

I love looking at DTF while at work....well, wasn't my face red when my speakers were at a medium level and I clicked into DTF....holy fucking Friday!!  I sure had some egg on my face for slacking off at work.

Anyhow, the brightness is giving me a fucking headache, so I'm gonna come back whatever the fucking day that comes after Friday.  Hell, I might not be back until the day the comes afterwards.

I logged on thinking, how lame, they didn't do anything special today. Then one click and BAM! :lol
BRAVO!

This wouldn't be bad if the song stopped playing when you actually went into the forums, but as it is, I think I'll be avoiding this place til tomorrow.

That said, it's a pretty great forum theme.  It's just too annoying for me to stick around while it's up.

Whoah, they cut the rap break from the song.

R B Rebecca Black.

On second thought, if it doesn't loop, I'll just leave this window open all day so I don't have to listen to it again.

Looks like we're good to go.

No music playing here.  Apparently that's a good thing.  I've managed to avoid hearing her famous song so far, and I plan to keep it that way.

I like the colors.  I like blue.

Kudos on the April's fool thing. When I got into the forum this morning I thought it had been hacked!

If you aren't hearing the music or seeing the animation with the white girl and the unicorn dancing, either go into the site from the main page or though the following link:  https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/

As much as I would love to see the unicorn dancing, I've been able to avoid listening to the song so far and intend to keep it that way.

From goofing around with getting this set up, I think I irrevocably burned the song into my memory.

Big congrats and thanks (or death threats, depending on your point of view) to XJDenton for doing, well, pretty much all of this, and to bosky, who did the rest.  And to one other person who shall remain nameless.

And also to Rebecca Black and her insane parents, of course.

In Windows 7 (and Vista) you have a Mixer if you click on the speaker icon next to the clock. There you can set the volume and/or mute different sound sources. For instance, I muted Plugin Container For Firefox and then I didn't hear that masterpiece again.
