[Jimmie Geddes]

Very nice!!

[JAmerican]

Ummm I think Chukar has a point. I doubt there will be any mergers for the name of the industry might have been displayed.

[Jimmie Geddes]

At least it'll still look like 1src

[Dick Tracy]

You rock Joel! Can I win a lilac 700p in the merger contest?

[indigenous]

Nice :D

Would fuschia do? We have a bunch of them ready for the giveaway.

[Jimmie Geddes]

Ummm, I want a LifeDrive.

[Joel]

Unfortunately, there are no fuschia LifeDrives.

[quasar]

No fuchia LDs? How about that limited edition Michael Jordan glow-in-the-dard one I saw on ebay?

[MrNako]

"El dominio está en venta" I wonder what that means :p

[Jimmie Geddes]

What kind of giveaway is this? No fuschia LifeDrives??? Ok, I'll settle for a plain 'ol LifeDrive.

Joel, you've got to get better prizes :)

[eccleshill]

Another 998 merges and it'll be Thousand Island src

[Joel]

I prefer RanchSRC.

Well, I guess we got the LD's after all!

If you look at the info below Joel's avatar.

what I think would be cool, is if you have '1src.com' for the Palm OS stuff, and then have '2src.com' for linux(zaurus), or pocket pc, or maybe both. now that would be cool.
Ntw1103.
p.s. reset post count.... I'll never reach 100...

[medevilenemy]

either this is a very poorly timed april fool's joke, or something silly is going on here.

website operators have never understood that by combining two big websites you do not get a bigger "super" website, you simply get a big website made up of destroyed (i'd rather say destroyified, but that isnt a word) chunks of it's component parts.

[EDIT] ok, just checked... probability of this simply being a very poorly timed april fools joke just jumped by alot. reasons: 1) the domain 2src doesnt appear to be registered to anyone at the moment. 2) As far as i can tell, there is no 2src site under any domain.

Agreed. No web master (not even me) states the name of a website without first purchasing it.

What is the fan website 1src is merging with?

[ntw1103]

joke or not, I still think I have a great idea, because I just got a Zaurus, but I am posting on here still. that just shows how great the site is. :)

[dsaroff]

...Especially considering the recent BH merger. Frankly, after living through the AWFUL design of the new BH, I guess have posting counts set to zero, possibly losing my username, etc., seemed right in line. :rolleyes:

Yeah, I was thinking that... but, how do you know I wasn't kidding? It was pretty obvious it was fake, but still funny :D

[Moose Man]

Merge with fan site.....aren't we the fans? And why would you call it 2SRC.....why not call it 1FanSRC or 1SRCFan or 1FANRC or .......April Fools. Didn't we notice that the 1SRC logo is still the main logo.......

[wellsjs]

No one :rolleyes:Whew, had me scared. I shudder to think what you would do if your post count got reset! :eek: :p

[oz-nom]

There mearging with an Apple fan site to become iSrc. LOL.

iSrc. iLove it! :D
And it's been April 1st for ages here (Australia). Almost over in fact...

[dragonsgames]

Not April Fools here yet in the US of A ;)

[oz-nom]

It's nearly 3:30 in the afternoon here!
I can't help it if America is slow... :p
(ooh, I'm gonna burn for that one)

[dragonsgames]

Yes, yes, that is what McDonald's does to you ;)

[dmitrygr]

...yawn...

my great grandma makes better april 1st jokes....and she's DEAD!!!

BOOO!!!

[dragonsgames]

LOL, Dmitry, why do you mock Joel? ;)

[intellidryad]

How about this?

1src is spinning off the off topic department, which would be called "1src source"; while mearging with "Fansite" and changing it's name to "1srcOne" :D

[whydidyou]

A better April Fools would have been to announce a WM forum for the Treo 700w. Now that would have been believable AND radical AND provoked a long thread.

[Legodude522]

Ummmm...April 1 ring a bell??
Good call. This is why I hate April 1st.

Apple is releasing a new PDA!

Now that would be the biggest April Fools Joke. The one that wasnt actually a joke...you have us all fooled!

[EdFrmBrighthand]

ROTFL!

Kidding aside, if you're a Brighthand user that's having a problem, please let us know. We'll be happy to reset your post count, straighten out any user name problems, etc.

[JAmerican]

Now this is a big prank. Its definate. Look here for a hint? Why didn't you just tell us it was Palm 24/7 at first. Yep, great prank but you didn't fool me ;) Didn't they say they were gonna join PalmOneCity when it was first announced or was it a big secret the same way?

JAmerican

[NX70BOY]

i have always been on my guard every year when april 1st comes around with this site...;)

[Jimmie Geddes]

LOL Joel and Reggie are good

I am posting all april fools tech stuff at my site

http://www.gadgetsonthego.net/

[blues]

Every April 1st, I always like to browse over to http://thinkgeek.com and see what crazyness they have thought up.

A USB Desktop Tanning Center.... LOL

[Dick Tracy]

Let's see...the new site name will be 1247 or maybe 12247, perhaps 1.247. Sure hope it doesn't have another meaning.

Jeff Kirvin wouldn't allow those PocketPeeCee people to come in.

Not it GUAM.

[dragonsgames]

Yes, I figured it out when I posted that... ;)

[Joel]

Happy April Fool's Day everyone. Yes, it was all a joke :)

Thanks to Shaun at Palm247 for expanding the story a bit.
