Ok, so the F.B.I didn’t shut down the site and you aren’t being investigated.

April fool! Who thought it was as high-larious as I did? Who didn’t? More to the point, who got fooled? 😛
(truly sorry, really)
Yup, I’ll put my hands up. You got me. Totally fooled me.
I thought it was funny as hell, but then again, I missed it because of the time difference and only caught the recap on irc :p
Oh yes – you got me good – was going to say I thought your new holding page might not get you much traffic!
you got me you fucker. i saw it while on… many substances that can make you paranoid; and i thought that the fucking feds would be at my door when i got home tonight.
good one; you fucker. 🙂
Thanks a bunch, I retreated to my natural habitat in China and went into hibernation under an assumed name.

it’ll be a few years before we get away with another one of these, we did one last in 2003. Can’t believe it got you, assorted 😛
I started deleting files, etc. Called Spiny, he deleted his bnr website. I was thinking about how this would impact my family. Other than that, hilarious.
Hook…line…and sinker.
Yeah i ditched the database after being woken up at the asscrack of dawn by Briscoe. Luckily, I have a semi-recent backup to fall back upon. Thank God I wasn’t on any substances that make you paranoid, else I may have jumped out the window of my bottom floor apartment to make a daring escape.
Though I almost asked Batfreak if his mother had any room at her farm in Australia.
This is what happens when you get very little sleep and get thrust into a stressful situation.
Nice job you bastard you ruined my website 😛
…..you’ll never take me alive, coppa
jesus fucking christ. how much did you lose on the db? :S
On Wednesday of last week, an American friend of mine who works on a US radio station was asking me about mixes. I told him about this website, but he never responed.
When this site was seemingly shut-down this morning, I nearly shat meself. Not only did I think all the mixes had gone and that I may be expecting a visit from the feds in blues, I genuinely thought the bloke in America had shopped us and that it was all my fault.
I was even planning how to break the news to naz.
Naz, you’re a git.
I’m not naz, I’m Agent Harris.
Thanks naz you bastard………i fucking hate April Fools…………
After two bottles of heart medicine and about 20 minutes of CPR (done by a GUY no less!!!), the humor finally came to light and now all that’s left is a few months of physical therapy to get the use of the right side of my body back.
If I had another set of dentures, I’d ship’em over and have ’em BITE YOU ON YER RED SPECKLEY WHITE ASS!!!
Good one Naz. 😉 😀
You got me for a while before I popped over to Jellyheads to check it out.
I thought it would be funny to show the wife and say that I would be arrested at the airport on our forthcoming trip to the US.
Saw her 30 mins later crying her eyes out so I told her it was a joke. I have now been in casualty waiting for a gonad specialist to reattach them 🙂
jesus fucking christ. how much did you lose on the db? :S
Who knows…I think that the db backup I have is a couple of weeks old. Maybe even a month. Thank god the only people that post there are Batfreak and myself.
oh well…at least all the spammers that like to sign up will be gone 😀
*wipes tears still streaming down face in hilarity*
ahehhhehe… ah mate, if i hadn’t been distracted by my lad,
i would have come up with something similar eventually
BUT NO WAY coudl i have had the impact that yours did. I tip my jester’s hat to thee.
And yep, our Spiny woke up, heard from Brisc, starts messenging me, i read it, bought it, conferred that BnR should be del’d…. BUT THEN
i noticed that you actually TOLD us that the FBI shut it down.
No, i mean, the FBI TOLD US they shut it down.
This was the flaw that prompted me to ask Spiny what day it was and watch him tear what little remains of his hair out.
At no stage would the FBI promote a successful shutdown like that, especially if they wanna get IP addresses from people that hit it.
Again, top work, and yes, we have much egg to clean up now. I’m chuckling, but our Spiny wants your nadz in an envelope.
hope u have a big enough envelope, hehe
😉
i’m really sorry if a couple of reactions to this prank were a bit drastic.
It’s a wee gesture, but from now until the the 9th of April, We’ll permanently publiclly host any mix from a mixer who already has a mix on the site. So if you upload a new mix between now and then, it wont be archived ever. I’m suitably chastised :D.
That’s not necessary, it was just a joke. Now I know what the people on Punkt feel like. I have a new appreciation. But since you offered, my mix is on the way. I think posting the arab cartoons was way more ballsy , they don’t take a joke that easily. Imagine if Ashton Kushter Punkt the Ayatollah. Salman Rushdie would say, “Thanks for making me look tame.” Even Die hard couldn’t save him. We’ll get over this one cuz it was funny in retrospect, and we all sighed of relief when it was reveiled. I should have thought it through, “How does the US govt have jurisdiction over a UK site?” Good one
You certainly got me…. I even showed it to friends, discussing if i should delete my downloads… and yes we were outraged by the stupid cops shutting down an innocent site…. great joke!
all april 06 mixes will remain public forever. I had net problems this month and didnt archive, might as well leave these up.
