The virus is gone don't worry.

Dont forget to keep washing your hand before/after you post. Cure has been found, but the virus has not gone, it is evolving. Plus we dont know the consequences. Roughly 150 people were infected. It is believed that they have recovered. But who knows what will be in the future. This time the virus infected their text. Next time, the virus could yffect their rank stats or signature.

You yeah know I tried my hard took very hard steps to protect users here but what I got? doing those steps infected me I sacrificed my self.

LoL, okay, I will consider it a great and wonderful sacrifice of you Cheesy

But I'm so sorry

Quote from: lolxxxx on April 02, 2020, 04:55:32 AM

Finally, the virus is gone.

it didn't disappear, it's still there, I wonder why theymos still keeps it even though April Fool's Day is gone Cheesy

Something to say that the damn virus is persistent out there?

It will come soon during this month I am pretty sure.

The virus is gone don't worry, I sacrificed myself too to get a cure but I (my post) was left with sequelae, it is hard to recover 100%, other than that I am fine Tongue

I guess "stay at home" means local boards. Took a quick look and did not see the text glitches in locals. Or could (also) be own threads.
Quoting might indeed spread it faster
Wash your hands = logout + login (it's been said to work)
Closing borders... can you move a thread between boards?

This topic in local is glitched https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/naija-novice-hangout-newbies-introduction-orientation-thread-5121680, it seems to be the only one
Glitch doesn't appear when watching the forum without logging in

We are facing hard times boys and we need to take serious measures, i tested several ones and here is a limited working solution
- first, wash your hands
- second, stay 1 meter away from every person
- third, go to the last post and press "reply"
- 4th, read an unaffected copy of the previous posts
- 5th, wash your hands again and God Bless B̸̟͖͈̖͇̘̠͂̍̚ï̶̪̠̣̀̓̎̃̓̾̎̍̅̎̚͠͝t̷̨̡̡͍̗̺̫̼͔̏͆ċ̴̛͉̣̔͊̂̍o̵̧̲̞̾̂͗̐́̍̊̈́̀͋͐̀̽̀͘ỉ̸̞͓̟̯͍̻͉̻̺͈̜͚͖̟̈́́͑n̷̢̨̹̹̦̗̩̩͕̟̦̤̬̖̜̮̒̊͐́̃̓̃̌̈́͆͒͊̅̆͘͘T̸̨̖̖̺͎̪̆͑͆̅̈̉̍̏͜a̴̱̺̙͖̫͕̤̽̑́͐̍͛͜͝l̸̨̥̭͎͕̜͍͖̑̈́̽͂ͅk̴̢̻͉͔͖͌̀̇̌͗̿̀̆͝͝

Well, @minairia3 we are the same. I was not quoting anyone but I got the virus. I was surprised when I was open my account today. I went here in this meta section to find what is going on, and boom! I am also infected and I don't know what is the reason.

theymos right, we need to practice social distancing in online. Indeed, if we reply must like this.

Hi OP, I tried not to quote any post that I made today, so i think we cant say non quoting is safe from this spreading. I do hope April 2 comes fast. I cant barely read properly some of the messages due to cover of the virus. I have a suggestion.

Why not locked all thread by respective OPs here on META so we can contained the spreading for a period until theymos give the cure to everyone. Haha

Looks like you're infected pretty badly already--I can barely make out your username.

So all this bitcointalk infection stuff has some sort of algorithm built into it? That sounds exactly like something Theymos would cook up. It's kind of neat IMO.

Well, what I saw the more you post/quote (So far) the more you are getting infected. Also, I think the algorithm by the time is making the virus more effective.

Your username is infected as well.

When I first login today, I really thought there is something wrong with my screen or my computer (those blur letters on screen) I was about to restart to get this bug removed then suddenly April fool day click my mind and I am here seeing this Cheesy

The same thing happened with, I checked with my firewalls and antivirus - Also checked the browser but then I read the headline (sigh)

Yeah, I knew it was Theymo's joke as soon as I saw it. I kind of expected an April fool's joke related to coronavirus, but I wasn't sure what he was going to cook up.

Theymos also provides education at the April fools celebration to practice social distancing,
so as to avoid the virus that is sweeping all countries today.

But my account was not affected by the virus infection in this forum: D, Am I lucky?

#stayhome

Quote from: minairia3 on April 01, 2020, 08:36:21 AM

I think the best suggestion accordingly is number two stay quiet for a while until April 1 ends. Next is dont quote, so I am not doing any quotation from the aboved comments. Lastly Im not sure if thats effective, and also its quite lot of efforts just to send a message. Im sure the virus will be gone by tomorrow, problem is if theymos decided it to extend, some messages cany be read normally due to it.

It's not about you quoting someone , it's simply spreading by someone infected quoting you Roll Eyes

Hey, so the virus has just been entered bitcointalk.

So here are some tips to keep safe.

Well, do not write like I just did.

Number 1 Tip: Do not quote. The virus spreads faster if you just quote someone's reply.

Number 2 Tip: Inspired by nc50lc

Put some space in between your reply.

Number 3 Tip: From styca

More tips coming. Stay tuned!

It's kinda funny because styca has already been infected. So you can cross #3 off the list Cheesy
