Any guesses on what little April Fool's changes are going to happen to the forums this year?

I say the High School popularity hierarchy (ie. Geeks = Newbies, Jocks = Demi-Gods, etc)
 
How would you rank them? Plus are there enough groups? Plus, I though HS was a huge waste of time. And where did I (the Floater who could go from the geek UNIX lab to the weightroom with the football team to eating lunch with the drama kids to stopping to talk to the stoners on my way to the store to grab a midafternoon snack to eat in the geek UNIX lab later on) fit in?
 
Dude, what are you talking about?
We've never had little games on this forum, ever.

I know that I, for one, hate fun.

Floaters would be the contributors.

I thought you band girls were all about fun? I saw that band girl documentary, American Pie, so I know all about the kinds of fun you all have.

Interesting, although potentially difficult to manage. If we assume that 601 > 6502 > Member > Newbie, then how do we make HS equivalencies?

That is, who determines if Geek > Jock, or Stoner > Debate Team, or that Geek = Debate Team, or whatever?

Since tomorrow kicks off opening weekend in baseball, perhaps a tribute to that:

Newbie => On the DL
Member => Ball-boy
Regular => Bench Warmer
6502 => Pinch Hitter
65816 => Utility Player
65832 => Starter
68000 => Trainer
68010 => 3rd Base Coach
68020 => 1st Base Coach
68030 => Bullpen Coach
68040 => Hitting Coach
601 => Pitching Coach
603 => Bench Coach
Demi-Goddess, Demi-God or Contributor => Manager
(Moderator) suffix => Umpire
macrumors god => Commissioner

Then again, it'll be Saturday so I may not even notice.

I think it would be an insult to Arn to equate him to Bud Selig.

So that's what all that pirate stuff was last year?

I thought it was just MR being more clicky than usual. :rolleyes:

Hm. Guess the band geeks from my high school weren't as high class as your symphony. :p

And what is all this talk of games?!

Ha! I suppose we could say "Owner" but I'm not sure that's much better. :p
