#1 carnivore Apr 01, 2009 5:00:39	it seems the fine folks at WoTC/Gleemax have decided to change the way this forum is displayed.... at least on the computer i am using...... does anyone know how to get the appearance back to the way it used to look? :D
#2 malkavon Apr 01, 2009 5:11:36	I've noticed this as well. I can change the appearance settings in my profile options, but when I view the forums themselves they default to the green-on-green-on-green look. Gah, so much green. I don't even like the color.
#3 carnivore Apr 01, 2009 5:13:38	I've noticed this as well.

I don't even like the color. me too ..... i have tried to change the appearance with the Quick Style chooser.... but it doesnt help ..... i like green, but i find Dark letters on a Ligh Background is much easier to read quickly :D
#4 Dictum_Mortuum Apr 01, 2009 5:16:37	I agree, it's so bad :/
#5 carnivore Apr 01, 2009 5:23:48	it is simply another example of the poor standards for Intelligence used by WotC in thier choice of Individuals who make decisions ..... i was unaware of a Moron outreach program, seems like WoTC is trying to corner the market on them :D
#6 phoenix00 Apr 01, 2009 5:30:31	Wait a day, it may be related to the date, that today currently is.
#7 carnivore Apr 01, 2009 5:33:53	the change occured since last night .... i am on Eastern Standard time in the US.... they are on Pacific Standard Time .... usually thier activities are done during the day i dont think the Day will matter :D
#8 phoenix00 Apr 01, 2009 5:49:12	the change occured since last night .... i am on Eastern Standard time in the US.... they are on Pacific Standard Time .... usually thier activities are done during the day i dont think the Day will matter :D Look at the calendar date
#9 malkavon Apr 01, 2009 5:59:05	Look at the calendar date Yes, it's April Fools, except as carnivore noted this change happened during the night on Saturday for Pacific Standard Time, which is what Wizard's is based off of (look at their maintenance timing for the boards as an example). As such, this went up several hours before April Fools would've kicked in for them. Maybe they just got it running early, I don't know. Or maybe they had something planned for April Fools and that thing screwed up the forum graphics.
#10 hijaxx Apr 01, 2009 6:08:33	i agree with everyone that this is horrible. who can save us now? WHO!?
#11 CantripN Apr 01, 2009 6:17:01	Hulk mad!
#12 sofawall Apr 01, 2009 6:17:39	Gah! I'm astonished at the awful. Although I suppose I shouldn't be. It is WotC after all. EDIT: Woah, it's hard to tell what threads have new posts and what don't. Awful!
#13 jameswilliamogle Apr 01, 2009 6:26:54	Its the most awesomest colors ever!
#14 hijaxx Apr 01, 2009 6:38:37	colors are fine. but its AWFULLY hard to tell which thread have new posts and all that.
#15 Treantmonklvl20 Apr 01, 2009 6:55:45	Ugh. Well, there is still a possibility this is an April fools prank. We'll see if it is still this horrible format tomorrow.
#16 keithio Apr 01, 2009 6:58:29	The best april fools pranks are the ones that arent pranks at all, I'll lawl if the changes stick around.
#17 BloodDragon Apr 01, 2009 8:07:45	Oh christ... my eyes... I thought Saint Patty's day had past already.
#18 CantripN Apr 01, 2009 8:09:46	What, no one likes snot?
#19 carnivore Apr 01, 2009 8:11:00	i thought it was Boogers, but itS NOT;) :D
#20 pithica Apr 01, 2009 8:15:49	i thought it was Boogers, but itS NOT;) :D I think that's the best subliminal joke on American Dad. I laugh every time I see him.
#21 reis Apr 01, 2009 9:21:28	I mean to be fair it's kinda of somewhere between colon cancer diarrhea and Fiendish shambling mound boogers
#22 true_shinken Apr 01, 2009 9:23:02	Maybe it's some kind of April's fools thing.
#23 lormador Apr 01, 2009 9:25:58	This is really putting me in the mood for some Musk Creeper Zombies... the low-fat, nonevil alternative to undead. Where oh where has that thread gone?
#24 BloodDragon Apr 01, 2009 9:52:11	I think we need to do something productive with horrible-green. How does one optimize a thread... or colour?
#25 carnivore Apr 01, 2009 11:10:38	with a Pixie ...of course :D
#26 qoshea Apr 01, 2009 11:22:17	I think we need to do something productive with horrible-green. How does one optimize a thread... or colour? Heh, anybody got a Green Lantern build? *snicker*
#27 carnivore Apr 01, 2009 11:25:14	Heh, anybody got a Green Lantern build? *snicker* yes...try this: Green Lantern: Elan Telepath 20 1 Psionic Body, PsiCrystal 3 Power Penetration 5 E Knowledge (Energy Missile or Ego Whip) 6 Psychic Meditation 9 Practiced Manifester 10 PsiCrystal Containment 12 Twin Power 15 E. Knowledge (Reddopsi), Power Pen: Greater 18 Overchannel 20 Talented "Power Ring": Base Ring of Counterspells 5 Det. Magic at Will 6 Feather Fall at Will 7 Lesser Extend Power, 3/day 8 Lesser Split Ray, 3/day 9 Comp. Languages at Will 10 Lesser Enlarge, 3/day 11 Lesser Empower, 3/day 12 Extend, 3/day 13 Split Ray, 3/day 15 Lesser Maximize, 3/day 16 [Free Slot] 17 Empower, 3/day 18 Lesser Quicken, 3/day 20 Maximize, 3/day Why is this a good combo? The cost for a 15 level Psionic Item of Legacy is -2 ML Penalty (does NOT affect PP or Powers Known, just effect of power and ML checks), 18 PP, 56,000 GP and 3,300 XP. Here is how you offset the costs: -Practiced Manifester erases the ML penalty. -The 30 uses each day of FREE Meta-Psionic augmentation, which do NOT count towards your ML Cap for manifesting or augmenting a power, which equal 78 free power points. -The GP and XP penalties are offset by the items you don't have to buy. Excellent use of an Item of legacy...the build is also very nice without it :D
#28 toxic_shaman Apr 01, 2009 11:26:18	Ack, first I go to RPOL today and its color scheme is all boogered up, then here. Annoying seems to be contagious.
#29 muertog Apr 01, 2009 11:36:04	I carry the motion. At first, it was only in one thread that went puke green, then my entire account changed. Ugh.
#30 dr_rocktopus Apr 01, 2009 12:06:34	yes...try this: Excellent use of an Item of legacy...the build is also very nice without it :D Mind if that goes into Not The Bees?
#31 qoshea Apr 01, 2009 12:12:29	I'm not that familiar with psionics since it's banned in our campaign aside from the monster's that normally have it. Are there any mage / sorc builds for GL out there? *snicker* Or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles go with the green scheme as well.
#32 pithica Apr 01, 2009 12:53:20	A modified Jean Grey build with Spell Thematics on Telekinesis and lots of Conj(creation)/Ill type stuff with a pimp ring would work for GL. I'd probably go Sorc 5/Mind 1/Incan 5/Shadocraft Mage 5/MotUH 4 Not necessarily in that order. Mindbender's kind of redundant since GL doesn't normally have telepathy, but I thought he had some kind of 6th sense provided by the ring which I was hoping to cover with mindsight.
#33 jameswilliamogle Apr 01, 2009 16:10:43	this color stinks. not funny.
#34 jopustopin Apr 01, 2009 16:24:46	Christmas colors are red and GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!. What color is grass? Answer: GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX! GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX! on GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX! action baby. Gleemax is GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!
#35 owls_and_more_owls Apr 01, 2009 16:37:24	yup. April Fools. God I hate this stupid Holiday. It's the kind of holiday that Gnomes would invent.
#36 jopustopin Apr 01, 2009 16:45:15	I have been browsing the forums for about 43 minutes now and have come down with a serious headache. I... blame the colors; specifically the color GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!. New Forum Colors: Old Forum Colors:
#37 sofawall Apr 01, 2009 17:45:09	I'd also like to say since the colours changed, they also brought back the login box. I think this is an actual update, not April Fool's. On the topic of that login box, is anyone else able to login with it? I have to do something that you need to log in for (like starting a thread) then use the login with the e-mail, not the username. Damn, but WotC is screwy.

Damn, but WotC is screwy. Also part of April Fools. They're being really thorough this year.
#39 muertog Apr 01, 2009 17:56:07	Wow, when did the forums start changing the word gleen to gleemax?
#40 dr_rocktopus Apr 01, 2009 18:35:36	Well, that was terrible. It just tried to eat my user id... Apparently the legacy GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX! includes the legacy login system, with no actual back-end. Awesommmmeee!
#41 dr_rocktopus Apr 01, 2009 18:37:27	a filter? really? Jesus. That's fantastic.
#42 malkavon Apr 01, 2009 18:54:03	Ye gods, that sucks. I am at least thankful that I'm auto-logged in for the next 12 days or so. Hopefully this crap will be over by then. Yeesh.
#43 dr_rocktopus Apr 02, 2009 0:41:01	FREEEEE FREEE GOD DAMN IT FREEEEEE!
#44 true_shinken Apr 02, 2009 0:54:37	I knew it was a joke.
#45 jopustopin Apr 02, 2009 2:38:53	GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX! edit: i think they missed something; specifically the color greelnl GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX! GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX! GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX! GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!
#46 carnivore Apr 02, 2009 5:10:04	just wondering if the IDIOTS at WOTC will correct the damage done by the Worm/Virus that changes words or adds words to threads and Posts..... namely the terms GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX! IDIOTS... fix your stupid mess...... you made it, and it damages work others have spent a lot of time to create...... oh yeah i forgot.. you dont have enough integrity to remove damage YOU create if the PRANK is over.... correct the threads back to thier previous condition.... without losing the current posted info your addressing this situation would be appreciated :D
#47 sofawall Apr 02, 2009 9:31:04	They don't appear very good at this. Well, if they write their code the same way they write their rulebooks...
#48 reis Apr 02, 2009 9:37:03	lol @ GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!
#49 hijaxx Apr 02, 2009 9:39:17	virus.. infecting.. GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX! [insert 2nd line of what sofawall just said here]
#50 dr_rocktopus Apr 02, 2009 9:40:02	greeeeeen greeeen GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX! Man, they can't even write regular expressions. Come on, kids.
#51 sofawall Apr 02, 2009 9:51:40	Yeah.
#52 dr_rocktopus Apr 02, 2009 10:01:04	Python, lisp or C++ for lil old me. Fraid I'm not bad ass enough for perl.
#53 CantripN Apr 02, 2009 10:04:17	G R E E N = GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!?
#54 PlzBreakMyCampaign Apr 02, 2009 10:15:23	First of all this thread is hilarious. Mostly because I m teh n00bzor and have no idea what u guys are talking about, isn't that just an april fools? Second, is it fixed? Because I saw a weird little gre_en icon next to each thread when I checked at work, but its gone now. So... can someone post a screenshot? Using a simple browser grep I see no 'gleemax' spamming, nor any gre_en... edit: Holy monkeys I just looked at one of the tabs I had open to this forum and its all puke gre_en. But this browser tab for the forum is normal tan. Also I finally figured out why u guys spammed "GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!" Its because it saves all "gre_en"s without the underscore into that annoying 'GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!GLEEMAX!' thing major lolz
#55 volatris Apr 02, 2009 12:50:21	The word "t h e m e" was also changing to that as well, which really messed up a thread about t h e m e builds.
#56 atomickitkat Apr 02, 2009 13:10:58	Let's try this: Okay, at least they went back to normal. Was trying out an old trick to bypass filters. :P
#57 true_shinken Apr 02, 2009 13:52:02	Looks like the filters are down, finally.
#58 sofawall Apr 02, 2009 17:13:41	:88E: Cthulu's back too!
#59 jopustopin Apr 03, 2009 8:21:28	green theme; but now we have to go back and fix all the old post where green was changed to gleemax?
#60 sofawall Apr 03, 2009 19:20:38	No, it got changed back automatically.
