That confirms it; theymos apparently thinks it's funny to joke about a disease outbreak that (by my guesstimate) will probably directly kill at least a million people

Roll Eyes If you choose to see-as-evil acts which were clearly done in the spirit of fun & good faith, then you're creating demons for your personal living hell...

Well - we are talking about Fopup after all...




This years' April Fool's Day prank may have been in bad taste, but as theymos pointed out in his thread on the subject:

Note that I designed this "forum virus" to be easy-to-implement and interesting; my goal was not to create any sort of realistic coronavirus model. I suppose it could perhaps serve as an illustrative example of some general concepts, though, such as exponential spread.

I do recall a couple of years ago the prank was the word Bitcoin which was inverted, but otherwise was an unremarkable year.

Another year (??last year??) was a KYC prank with very dubious questions.
