What the hell was that page that popped up when logging in about national security and that it goes against so and so.. and if you have used this site expect to be contacted? Was this a joke?

You never know..



But .. ok.. so it was a joke.


I don;t put things like that happening to far away. Maybe I'm just a paranoid conspiracy theorist.. no I'm not.

also.. on a lighter note .. I drank New Castle tonight.. without any other beer on my taste buds.. its pretty good beer. I'd rank it up there with Guinness.

No, Men in 'a nice navy pinstripe'. They are the not so threatening sister agency.

They abduct people who think they've seen method in Dubyah's madness.

I dont know......the goverment keeps people under tention and bans anything hat would "support" terrorists. If the National Security did this, I wouldnt be suprised not even the slightest. But since its 1st of April, I know it was all a joke.

I was seriously scared when I saw that Blue Screen. It was the best joke ever!!!
I've printed myself out a copy of it, and might frame it. That would be cool.

I didnt doubt it when I saw it.. I mean I thought about it being a f'ing joke.. but I didnt count out the fact that it could actually happen.. them banning a site I mean. Not neccessarily them coming to my home.

:eek: I know, it scared the life outta me before I read this thread and realised. . . . . .

Its the 1st of April...

Then I calmed down a bit :D.

Seriously though, that has to be one of the best ever. . . .

I've printed myself out a copy of it, and might frame it.

I absolutely LOVED the last part that was taken from "1984" by Orwell.

Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength. War is Peace.

This is i think, THE MOST PERFECT april fool's joke that couold possibly have existed on nationstates.

I compliment the creator on his/her creativity and willingness to actually scare the heck out of people (like me)

That wasn't what twigged with me. I read straight past that and began to wonder..... then I saw the 'Continue to NationStates.net' and the 'War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery' quotes from Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Very clever, although I saw it at 12:30 so technically the joke's on them. :P

I assume the "blue screen" was put there by the site operator, not hacked on by someone unrelated to Nation States. That's not good. I don't come here to be propagandized, even as an April Fool's joke.

I was totally taken in till I saw the Orwell quote then I laughed my ass off. Well done cheered up an otherwise grey day in The Wick just what is needed more fun. Also Newcastle brown ale is one of the finest beers ever. Try Amber if you can it is also lovely just lighter if you want any other beers of the UK to try let me know and I'll post you a list Newcastle Brown ale is known in Newcastle as The Dog because it's 'The Dog's Bollock's' :D (meaning rather good actually)

No-one seems to have noticed today's UN ranking name.

Second most likely to be deleted today in my region! Also, curious that the least likely nations to be deleted (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/76010/page=world/start=129800) are all Nazis. MOD CONSPIRICY!

Kudos for quite an interesting April's Fools =)

My first reaction was to believe that some creative little NS bugger had hacked the server, with a rather amusing little RPing of their own. Indeed, I've only ever heard of Homeworld in SG, and I don't think we've arrived at that level of censorship just yet (although who knows, we are in some ways progressing towards that general direction).
