The name of this event has not been determined.

The Great Crash of '08 is the tentative title for events that transpired on February 18, 2008.

During this time, a rather large mistake on Jas' part led to the complete dysfunction of the entire forums.


Proceedings

Jas devised a prank to temporarily delete the CCC and General Friendliness. To do so, she thought it would be funny if The Face was made an administrator.

Cutman promptly signed onto the account and proceeded to delete all of the forums, removing all of the administrative figures. Before she was demoted, Jas managed to promote Delmore to administrator, and he deleted The Face and his alternate account Landmaster.

Delmore's efforts were in vain, since Retriever II quickly disabled the entire forum remotely, and announced that the board would be reverted back to a 2-day-previous backup.

Cutman's doings

The board during Cutman's shenanigans.

One of the things Cutman did during his short time as administrator was to bring back the All About Beards board from a 2006 April Fool's Prank, except this time only one fourm was accessible: HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZEKE. Cutman also made all of MFGG's normal features, such as the ability to view members topics and using the board's search engine, unavailable. It wasn't long until Delmore took action and replaced the Birthday forum with a new one called "Please stand by...", with the description saying:

Sorry Zeke, I took your cake.

~Delmore

Final results

  • A rollback of 2 days is expected.
  • Jas has resigned (not been fired) as administrator.
