As many of you probably saw mentioned earlier today (The April Fools Joke.) History has repeatedly proven that no matter how good the intentions, no society will flourish very long without some sort of government to establish rules, and enforce them. They will often start out doing quite well, and then its just a matter of time before someone comes along and creates chaos which is why Anarchy will never work.
We had some interesting things happen while everyone was granted the right to be a Forum Admin.
- Some members seemed to ignore the fact they had that kind of power at their finger tips.
- Some members decided to explore the Admin settings.
- Some members decided to go a step further, and improve the settings according to their ideas.
- Some members decided to reskin the forum, sadly I missed snagging a screenshot of the purle/pink theme. Although it seems the blueglass theme I made kept winning the battle default skin used by everyone. (I really do appreciate that guys!)
- We had 2 new users register, one appeared to just want to play with admin settings, but new users weren't granted that right until later when the second user joined. This last new user looked as if he/she was going to be a great asset to our forum, so I'm sad to announce they must re-register as the database was rolled back to before the fun began.
- Some members decided to just have fun, and create chaos, delete posts, and update my personal settings.
Admittedly this forum ran quite better then I expected under the circumstances, for a lot longer (several hours) then I had imagined it would. However I was able to snag a couple of screenshots of the action, so that we can all remember today.
On another note, I'd like to remind everyone that if you have any ideas, suggestions, or complaints in how anything is at UnitedTI it is advised that you contact your favorite admin about it, so that we can either correct or improve the item at hand.
Now for the screenshots (click on thumbnails for full view):
  
 
 
There you have it, not everyone loves me, just almost everyone ;)

No the database isn't messed up, everyone had full Admin powers that day.
As far as the large pictures go, it appears I am only able to recover 3 of the 7 at this time, its going to take more time to locate the other 4 if I still have them.
