The real April Fool's joke that is pulling is leaving the word replacements around long enough for us to get used to translating them so that when he turns it off, we won't know what is real or not

Putting my real title in the description text since it seems to not have the word replacement joke affecting it.

I appreciate the intent here (to have fun)…

But I didn’t appreciate the result. At all.

I would come to check the posts and then just say “fuck it”…

And then when it lasted past April first, that was even more disappointing.

I mean, it’s a great thing to do if you want to repel people from reading or participating…problem is that reading and participating is sort of the entire point of poal…or so I thought.

I’m glad it appears to be fixed now.

The real joke is that database management is done primarily in query language, web design is done in mark up language & JavaScript. There is no "programming" involved. is just a script kiddie. Given that, this is still better than anything I could put together.

The genius of programming is making something that seems to the average joe like an easy feat when in reality there is much more to it. If Poal were just some simple script kiddie site, it would be down more than it is up. While I don't know the architecture of Poal, it's uptime and lack of crippling bugs suggest that this is a much more robust system than meets the eye. I've been programming professionally for 30+ years so I can appreciate the technical effort that went into making Poal strong enough to survive all the shit it gets on a daily basis. It's not just markup, database query languages and scripts at work here.

I completely agree. I was just takin' the piss. Keeping a shop like this is no mean feat.

> I am sure the moar we REEEEEEE about the April Fools Joke (I am guilty and got over it), the longer this will last. As Han Solo once said, "I have a bad feeling about this." So if this is April Fools Month I am totally okay with it now. Now if I can only keep the six gorrillion points.....
