I want to congratulate the Arch devs, forum mods etc for a well-executed awesome idea.

The news bulletin, mailing list, bug report, the good ideas... muchos kudos.

Good luck consoling all the fretting i686ers.

*edit*
just noting that a certain mod *cough*kilt*cough*bagpipes*cough* abused his powers to edit my post

Apparently it's an awesome idea.

I also agree that whatever it is you're talking about is an awesome idea.

Xyne · 2009-04-02 04:40:32

Sorry Xyne. I couldn't resist.

*** Bad, bad, bad, moderator ***

Allan · 2009-04-02 04:43:20

FYI, here is this years filter list:
http://dev.archlinux.org/~allan/filters.png

Some "good idea"s migrated to "awesome idea"s as the day progressed... And there are a lot more than I ever added.

Cut and paste from Xyne before his post got vandalised... so ask him

Before some thoughtless bastard of a moderator edited his post, Xyne had that up first.

That's really funny, seriously, an awesome idea.

Does anybody have a link to last year's filter list?

B-Con · 2009-04-02 06:08:09

Last year's prank involved switching everything to German. Did that include the word filters?

Yes, there were word filters last year. neotuli posted an image of the filter words in this thread, but it is now a 404. The only one I remember is "Viva La Deutschland!"

Primoz · 2009-04-02 09:00:30

I would like to say thanks to devs mods and all others that decided that this years prank will be about i686.
Without that I would still think that my processor is 32bit, but now I know that it's really 64bit.

Thats one positive side effect we never considered. Quite a few people discovered that. So to anyone that hasn't moved to x86_64, now's a great opportunity.

I think half the community is switching to arch64 (me too) , i heard it's even slightly faster ( awesome) and so the whole idea wouldnt be a problem

And april 1st was "Oktoberfest".
That was awesome. I didn't notice that there was a filterlist for a very long time. I was wondering why so many people talked about Oktoberfest and praised Germany.

Lol April 1st and Oktoberfest... A sick mind is what you need for that

* B thinks this year's prank was quite well orchestrated.
