Zombie Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 What? No more XcomUFO forums after July 2005? Say it aint so! And if I may be so bold: what does "You remember all the stuff that used to go here years ago?" mean? Same question for: "Well all that and since the site still provides the access codes has landed me in a lot of hot water." Access codes? Say what? Obviously, Atari has their shorts in a wad over something that transpired here long ago. Why they are pursuing this matter now is even a better question.

Slaughter Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 (edited) Are you serious stewart? I never liked April 1st, and especially not when I know the trouble I've had reaching Micah lately... Probably a joke, but X-Com shouldn't be joked with!

[NKF] Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Assuming it's in the context of the games: My guess is that the access codes refers to the copy protection codes in the manual that you had to enter. This was prior to the official 1.4 patch that officially removed copy protection from the game. As for the other 'stuff', I really haven't a clue, but if I had to guess, was the game 'hosted' on the site for a while? --- The one thing I really hate about April Fools is that it's next to impossible to break any serious news or whether or not any seemingly serious news is just a joke in very bad taste. I mean it. It's worse still when you take into account the time difference and the folks in the Pacific are already on the 2nd of April while those in America are just waking up for the 1st.

And if it wasn't because it was a SATURDAY, and i was SO FRICKIN TIRED and overslept it by 6 hours, i'd go up and see it. Everyone belived it.

Breunor Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 In the immortal words of South Park's twitch, "AGGHHHH!!!!" I've never been a fan of April fools, particularly since this joke could so easily be true. Just because a crime was commited in the past, does not mean it can't be prosecuted in the today.

[NKF] Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 It's these blasted time zones. When it's April fools day on one side of the planet, it's either well past it on the other, or it's a day early.
