Where you afraid when you first noticed the red flag?

As far as the captcha thing goes, I wasn't in the mood for figuring out what Theymos was doing. I only noticed that I could post normally without having to play Super Mario BCT, so that's what I did. This year's fun & games could have been so much edgier given all that's happened since this time last year....but it wasn't. Meh.

I had some kind of confusion in my head trying to understand what was happening. Since someone already made a thread a day before the 1st April, obviously it wasn't a surprise to me.
As I logged into my account, I started seeing the This user is a suspected spammer tag. I wasn't bothered because I knew it was about the joke. But when I wanted to make a post, I saw a pop up notification. I was shocked how ads have started running on bitcointalk like other websites. I figured out to reduce it and made my post without trying to complete the captcha. I didn't also know the game was because I felt it will be stressful to me since I visited the forum with mobile.

I was able to beat the game, but it took me a while to get the hang of it. It's definitely a nostalgic experience, like you said. Overall, I think it was a great April Fool's joke. It brought some fun and excitement to the forum, and I'm sure people will be talking about it for a while.

I played the game everytime I made a post. I didn't wanna have to wear the shame tag. It wasn't hard to beat the game but sometimes I found myself playing a level for 5-10 minutes because it was a break from the norm. Would I like the April fool's joke to be permanent? No, but it was ok for the day.

I tried to play for a while but couldn't get any points. My bird died repeatedly. However, even after not playing the game, 5 points were reduced once through the post, but later it was seen that 40/50 points were increased. If you post again after that, you will get 3/4 point reduction again. It was not possible to reduce the points to 0 in any way. And I've seen reputable members get warnings as spam too. It was really fun. And it was a pleasure to have Theymos organize it too. But last year's April Fool's Day was more realistic than this year. this time everyone can easily understand that it was April Fools.

I managed to bypass the captcha twice with scores to beat around 18 or 20+, and I really enjoyed the game, even though it took me about 10 minutes to find the sweet spot for the bird to fly. It's a nostalgic experience for me since the last time I played the game was when I was in junior high school Grin

It's make sense how the coins get more bigger and bigger when the thread get more long, because it's too prevent from people to reply on mega thread.

I thought the number of coins to be collected was random LOL!

It looks like I missed a big party yesterday. Today, I observe a lot of open topics; on yesterday's holiday, it is clear that people liked it. I even see that the craftsmen were able to crack (although I did not read carefully) yesterday's toy. It's great that the forum is sometimes distracted from the routine and has fun; it brings a fresh wave of
For some reason, I think that yesterday will be discussed for a long time, since open topics are free to post. Grin

I never mean to post this but I wanted to see and to know how we felt if actually this was implement to start being active to use.
Would you keep solving the Captcha to continue posting or you would have used @TryNinja hacked method to bypass it?
I understand how painful and annoying this seems to be while trying to solve the captcha game.

It was annoying. Even if it was normal captcha it would have been annoying. I don't know about bypassing this captcha, I could see post button underneath it. Was it only me?

Nah, the flappy bird captcha is fun enough when we only need to collect few coins, but when it's required more than 10+ coins it's really make me frustrated. Even sometime captcha during login is really suck, but now I'd rather to choose to pick fire hydrant and chimney pictures than playing flappy bird.

It's make sense how the coins get more bigger and bigger when the thread get more long, because it's too prevent from people to reply on mega thread.

Most of the forum users knew something was coming from theymos. Last year The Sceptical Chymist was The Pharmacist, and I remember he wrote the first reply when theymos came up with the IQ score thing. Back then, I wouldn't say I liked how The Sceptical Chymist asked in which timezone theymos lived in because I didn't get the term he used. Last year, almost 75% of forum users were fooled because of the IQ score prank.

But if you compare it to this year. I won't say it was successful enough. People started creating threads on 30th March (Like seriously?) about the April fool. So, most forum members already know something is coming up. If you didn't get fooled, It's okay; let others. But, People are creating more and more topic and letting everyone knows, "Guys, it's April Fool, Guys, It's April Fools." WTF man? What is the point? Catching some merits? I would say we ruined it.

since every year is like this, the old members won't be surprised by what happened on April 1st. except for a newbie who just created an account and was surprised with a warning like a banned account.
maybe the admin should consider next year to make a surprise by not creating any threads beforehand.

but if the surprise this time is implemented by the admin, it feels like it's a waste of time. there will be more who use hacking methods to make things easier.
it will be very annoying when you want to make a post and have to complete a Captcha and when you finish it turns out that there is already a warning of 10 new posts before you.

No. I might well have been had there not been at least one thread the other day spoiling what might have been a surprise--but alas, every year there's always at least one started up prior to April 1st dealing with what the joke might be.

As far as the captcha thing goes, I wasn't in the mood for figuring out what Theymos was doing. I only noticed that I could post normally without having to play Super Mario BCT, so that's what I did. This year's fun & games could have been so much edgier given all that's happened since this time last year....but it wasn't. Meh.
