What's with the strange forum page?

[PrescitedEntity]

That's really bizarre. Is/has anyone else seeing/seen some weird gibberish about science fiction - a "time travel emporium"?

It has BSG:TOS! Ugh. Is this a joke, or the work of a hacker?

[Ramsus]

Your description doesn't make a lot of sense. What's "BSG:TOS"?

Don't know how long that will still be availabe, but that's the image on the page he's talking about. The April Fools page is also loaded on the main page.

EDIT: As of this edit, the image is http://www.chronocompendium.com/aprilfools.png

I only get a short glance at the April Fools page right now...

[Ramsus]

That's the teaser. Delete your cookies if you want to see the original.

Yeesh, and the sun hasn't even risen. What's with you guys?

Oh, and I still don't know what BSG:TOS is.

"I'm getting the hell out of here."

That cracks me up. I'm going to have to save this for prosperity.

Edit:

Oh, and I still don't know what BSG:TOS is.

Wow... man at first I was... WTF? HAS SOME EVIL DESTROYED THE SITE! and then I realize, haahha funny april fool's... whats with the Chrono Break thing?  I mean it funny yet wierd...

[Sentenal]

You know, if I didn't think to actually click on that picture, I would have assumed the site got hacked.  Funny

[ZeaLitY]

Yeah, I'm going to upload the picture to the encyclopedia and link it under "Event Pages" for future viewing after April Fool's passes. I didn't want to do a CHRONO BREAK ANNOUNCED news post, since that hits way too close to home for die-hard fans. I instead desired to throw together a bunch of Sci-fi characters ravaged in MSPaint and make the site seem like a really crappy old style fansite. The Steve joke refers to stupid usernames with tons of numbers, like "Mary359078135091895098@aol.com." And I felt it needed something else, so I wrote the Kato / Mitsuda story based off something Hadriel wrote months ago about how Kato and Mitsuda were probably frat buddy friends.

There's a paucity of female time travelers out there, so mostly guys appear in the image. Nonetheless, I'm a fan of Tasha Yar from TNG, so I stuck her in there with the Chrono Trigger joke. GrayLensman obviously appears above her.

Do explain the symbolic meaning behind the characters you've chosen and their depiction in the image.

[GrayLensman]

Except for me, they've all time traveled, and I've dimensional traveled.

[PrescitedEntity]

Hardy har har.

Realized it after waking up this (yesterday, I suppose) morning. Was irked, then amused.

Care to explain the selection of pictures? BSG:TOS? Really.

But seriously, it was quite early. I had no business being up at such an ungodly hour (as I am now), but I wasn't anticipating anything for some time.

Besides, the fact that it was April 1 didn't exactly penetrate the haze veiling my mind at the time.

Nice one, though. Much better than the GameFAQs one, which was rather drab.

[Magus22]

Definately amazing. I happen to be a fan of all the Star Treks, although the newest one along with DS9 I thought were terrible. Seeing this really brightened up my day, since I am just recovering from the flu.
